On the 8eamon's Bill
"The bill provides that nc no nationality shall be permitted to
depart from any port of tho United Stntos unless she haa on board a crew
not leas than eeventy-Ave per centum of kIiIi-Ii. In each department thereof.
la able to understand any order thru by the officers of euoh vessel, nor
unlesa forty per centum In the r, rorty-iiv per centum In the second

year after the passage of this Art nnd. thereafter sixty-fly par centum of her
deck crew, exclusive of licensed officer nnd spprentloea, are of a rating not
leea than able seamen.'
"The oversea trade of tho world In competitive, therefore th original
coat of the ahlp and tho operation of the ship hav to be reckoned with In
the keen competition of these rival nations with on another. The Oriental
aallor Is obedient nnd competent and Is the cheapest sailor In the world.
It la therefore manifestly clear Hint If this law applied to all nationalities
In th transpacific traffic, all would bn on the same econotnlo basis, but It
works a single hardship to all lb ships of the world, except the Japanese
and American ships, and villi tin latter It works two hardships. With the
European, th cost of construe! lin a ship la no higher than tbe cost of con
structing a Japanese ship, but If ihey had to provide Buropean crews, while
th Japanese operated with Japanese crows, tbe condition of competition
would be such that they could 01 ovemnne, the handicap and they would be
driven off. But the American ship would hev to contend not only with the
tremendous Increase of cost of age in the substitution of th Buropean craw
for th Chines crew, but also the grenter Initial cost of the ahlp. As tbe
Japanese have now don away with their Kuropean officers and Japanese
crews, all of whom speak a common language, there Is no difficulty for them
to comply with all the conditions of tbe bill aud contluue their Japanese
crews, with Oriental wages.
'The law, therefore. Instead of assisting the Amerloan ship, adds another
heavy burden, while It places none whatever upon the Japanese ship, but, on
the contrary, turns over to tho Japanese the tralBo of tbe Pc' Ocaan,
which the Amerloan ahlp Is forced to forego by act of Congress of tbb

and tbe office gave blm the popcl
