HARDSHIPS OF SAILORS.
WASHINGTON, Feb 20 lSpcciaD.-The Senate
committee which has before it the Dnsley Shipping
bill passed by the House, gave hearing to-day to
Daniel Tracy an old slip captain, formerly shipping
master and who has been superintendent OF sailors
homes in Boston, New York and Philadelphia. Captain
Tracy earnestly opposed the provision In The House Dill
which allows the payment Of two months advance
wages In the Dineley bill passed two years
ago the payment OF such advance wages was prohibit
ed in order TO get rid Of the payment OF "blood
money" The present bill moGGes the former act in
that respect. Captain Tracy that the payment OF
blood money has not at any time ceased the law having
evaded and that what is needed is more stringent
provisions.
Blood money" is what sailors have to pay for the
opportunity of getting a situation II Is !dken out or

Tracy that there is hardly captain who does not

Captain Tracy also complained OF the inadequaoy OF
existing laws to punish brutality at sea He says
that few persons can realize the suffering llcteu oh
sailors by brutal officers. The law provides that TO

Captain Tracy advocated the establishment OF GOV
