TO STOP THE ABUSE

The editorial in last evenings Star
on the abuse of overlooking sailing
vessels and the necessity of immediate
reform in that line has met with uni
Versal approval among local seafaring
people. That the abuse of over loading
vessels is too common an occurrence
among American shipping interests
was declared by all to be too apparent.
The necessity of some action on the
subject by Congress meets with the
hearty endorsement of seafaring men.
In communication to the Star well
known captain expresses his approval
of the Stars sentiments in the follow
ing words:
In reference to your editorial of the
9Th inst, on the overlooking of vessels,
| wish to congratulate you on the taking
up of a matter that has been crimnally
neglected by the American people; the
ieopardizing of the lives of THE men
who go down to the sea" in ships, not
alone in the matter of overlooking but
in the equipment necessary for the saw
ing of the crew and passengers in case
of the vessel laundering or taking fire
or in any other way becoming unten-
able.
Some % years ago the same state of
affairs existed in Great Britain, There
was a man of the name of Samuel
Plimsoll ca shipowner himself member
of Parliament for the City of Bristol.
He had seen owners deliberately over
loading vessels which were heavily
insured with the hope that they would
never arrive at their port of destina-
ton. He had seen ships leave with
boats that would sink as soon as they
were put into the water So he said
to himself "this is murder pure and
simple and it has got to stop and 1
am going to stop it," He spent thou
sands of dollars in collecting accurate
information and in framing his bill.
when it was presented in the House
of Commons there was roar. Many
of the members who were shipOWners
could not find words strong enough
with which to upbraid him and on his
appearance as candidate to represent
as member the greatest shipping port
in Great Britain-Liverpool, he was
pelted with rotten eggs. But he lived
through it and lived to see the day
when no British ship could leave port
without her loading mark being cut
into her side, where any one could see
! il and every boat and other life saving
apparatus fit for immediate use The
! other maritime nations of Europe soon
! followed suit. But the powers that
tried and failed to pass the shipping
| subsidy bill through our Congress last
| session have up to now, blocked the
| passage of such laws in the United
| States
"The other day l had business on
! board a certain American vessel and in
! talking with the captain this same
! question came up. Being sort of in
| qusitive cuss, said Let us go and
| look at your boats AN right he said
| HANGING over the stern was a beautiful
| boat. How many men would she
carry?' | asked Well, two in smooth
water he replied. The other boat was
on skids forward, When we stood UNI
der her | could seq daylight all through
her. For goodness sake what do you
carry this thing for?' l exclaimed Well

sne's handy we hang up cabbage and
pumpkins under her coming down and
bananas and pineapplcs going up.
Suppose you could patch her up, have
you got a mast and sail and oars etc,
for herg Nary mast, sail nor any
thing else but look here it's just like
this-if ! refuse to take this ship out
as she stands there are fifty masters in
san Francisco ready to take her-and
/ have wife and family and | risk my
life every day at sea to get them bread
and butter
"Of course these abuses will be right
ed in time. The Hawaiian Islands are
a small part of the United States but
the small end of the wedge is frequent
ly valuable. Public opinion will do the
rest as it did in the case of Samuel p.
Plimsoll. The condition has only to
be ventilated. When the American
people realize the enormity of the in
Justice that is being done a lot of ras-
cally shipowners will not be allowed to
stand in the way of just legislation. l
am pleased and proud to see the Ha-
waian Star taking up this very import
ant matter. Action should not be de-
layed any longer where the lives of
seafaring men are concerned.
