peal for Radical Revision of
Navigation Laws. !.
Special to The Journal,

SPoSiAi w 4ue uuurIal,
Duluth, Mimi, Dec. 5.-Within the past
months SIX ships have been lost on the
upper lakes with all Or parts Of their
crews. Over siNty-tive persons have been
drowned. That radical revision of the
navigation laws affecting vessels upon the
interior lakes of the United States is de-
manded these losses prove. and steps will
be taken in the present session of con-
gress to provide for such,
Every one of the ships lost was an old
BOAT. Such has been the advance in avail
able depths in the connecting channels of
the lakes that every few years a foot
two Is added to the depth of water a
snip can draw. These ships We're built
at times when the greatest possible depth
was sixteen feet some of them when it
was only fourteen feet. Channels are now
such that more than nineteen feet is the
possible draft In at least some Of these
cases Of wreck and loss OF life the owners
Of the vessels had permitted their ships
to be loaded far deeper than they could be
In safety.
A vessel built for fourteen to sixteen
feet draft will sink to her rail when loaded
a few feet deeper, and the slightest wave
will wash her decks and founder her 1t
IS known, say responsible vessel men
around the lakes. that some of these ships
were overloaded. They point to recent
incident here when the crew Of an old
time ore ship which. though expected to
draw only about sixteen feet, was oaded
to nineteen. mutinied and absolutely re-
fused to sail her out of this harbor. Her
captain waited severa days for a crew,
and was compelled at last to discharge a
part OF the cargo before he could get men
to man the vessel. They say that if
other crews of ships similarly overloaded
should do the same there would be far
fewer losses.
Such Overlooking comes dangerously
near a serious crime and it is to prevent
1t that an agitation Is starting among
"a iOrs and their unions.
