STEAMBOAT SERVICE
MEETING IN OFFICE OF SECRE-
TARY OF COMMERCE TODAY.

meeting was held In the office of the
Secretary OF Commerce and Labor this az
ternoon between the head of that depart
ment and number of steamship men from
different parts of the country. The object
of the gathering was to discuss the recon-
mendation made In the report of the super
yisng inspectors of the steamboat fnspec-
ton service regarding the changes which
they felt to be necessary for the improve
ment of the service and which are under
advisement by Secretary Metcalf.
Among the most important OF the new
regulations was the one TO the effect that
hereafter all life-preservers shall be made
OF block cork instead of graduated cork
or fiber or other material, as at present Is
the case In many instances. Other changes
are of Importance to the steamship and
steamboat companies, and II is the hope OF
the representatives of these transportation
