revival OF business IL was found at q
few Lake Erie ports that the men.
believing there would be no further
opportunity for employment on the
lakes, had gone to their homes, caus-
ing a slight embarrassment to the as
ISOLATION in remaining some OF the
vessels which had been restored TO
service after a considerable period In
ordinary. These vessels, however,
were supplied without delay and none
were obliged to leave port short
handed
'The progress of the welfare plan
during the past year. the second sea
son of its operation, has been most
satisfactory and encouraging. and has
demonstrated beyond a doubt Its great
benefit to the vessel owner.
The result of the prosecution oil
this work has been that in the year
tust closed many men who desire TO
make sailing a permanent business
have been drawn to the lakes to the
exclusion of that undesirable class
who ship for a trip or two as tenn
porary expedient for the procuring OF
funds to be quickly spent In dissipa-
ton. 1t has been the universal YER
dict of the officers of the vessel that
in the character and class of men Of
fering themselves for employment
during the past season, a marked all
vance has been made, and that a
growing inclination to remain on the
ship during long periods OF service
has become manifest. In many In
stances the men have continued
throughout the season upon the ves-
sci which they fitted out. As pro
gress Is made toward this result,
there will be q declinign percentage
of unregistered men employed aboard
the ship until the minimum portion
has been achieved.
TOO much credit can not be given
to the officers of the ships for the
loyal and intelligent support which
tOhey have cheerfully and cordially
given to the working out OF the de-
tails Of the welfare plan and bureau
of registration.

been paid during the year aggregat-
ing an expenditure of $3,475."

letter reviews the work OF the league
last year. with particular reference to

Many OF US believe that Detroit
should revise her charter so as TO

government upon very few men,
