COASTWISE BILL
AS REPORTED

Following is a portion of the report
of the Committee on the Merchant
Marine and Fisheries, presented by
Mr.. Humphrey of Washington, on the
bill to amend the laws concerning pas
senger transportation between ports
of the Territory of Hawaii and other
ports of the United States, together
with the bill as amended by the
committee:
During the past year there have
been numerous occasions when the
time between sailings of American
ships has been from ten to eighteen
days, with intervals of ten or twelve
days a frequent occurrence. In nu-
merous cases the American steamers
calling at Honolulu en- route to San
Francisco from the Orient have not
been able to provide cabin space for
more than from 20 to so per cent OF
the passengers booked for those
steamers.
No additional vessels for the Ha-
waiian passenger service are now un-
der plans or building except l freight
steamer, which will have IS passenger
cabins. The existing lines have de-
clined to contract for any more pas
senger vessels at present, even though
Hawaiian capital offered to take up
a substantial part of the cost
The Hawaiian islands, distant over
1000 miles from the mainland, are de-
pendent wholly on vessels for travel
to the continental United States; yet
they have now only 8 steamships avail
able for travel between Honolulu and
domestic mainland ports where they
had 10 available at the time of annex
alton.
Five of the present steamers are
larger than those displaced, but 2
others are of smaller passenger ca
pacity. When the increase in ira
vel to Hawaii is taken into account,
it is evident that the American ship
ping companies falling of proper en-
couragement by the Government, have
been unable thus far to maintain an
adequate passenger service to the Ha-
waiian islands. The passage of this
bill will make available A foreign
steamers now plying between San
Francisco and the Orient, with to-
tai of 20 ADDITIONAL sailings each way
per year.
