WIRELESS NOW
TORFREIGHTERs


The installation of wireless equip
ment on the larger freighters, oper-
ated in the Pacific and those which
make Honolulu as port of call in
the delivery of coal from the east
coast Of the United States or from
Australia, is predicted with the en-.
forcement OF the new federal law
which went into effect the ffrst<of the
present month.
According to the United States law,
all big freighters without distinction
as to the flags they fly, must be
equipped with wireless IL they make
calls at American ports, The law is
in the nature OF supplementary act
to the law requiring wireless on pas
senger boats.
The law applying to freight carriers
provides that all vessels arriving at,
or departing from an American port,
and carrying fifty persons or more,
either crew or passengers, must be
equipped with wireless apparatus, an
auxiliary wireless set with storage
batteries, for use in case Of accident,
and two wireless operators, one OF
whom must be on duty at all times.
On exclusive freight carriers one OF
the operators, may be member Of
the crew, licensed for the operation OF
the wireless. and able to understand
the call of the ship and receive dis
tress calls. In case any extended
wireless communication is necessary,
the operator with the crew is instruct
ed to call the expert operator. He is
merely to be on guard at the wireless
station to summon the expert opera
tor to the key when necessary.
The new law is far-reaching in i'm
portance, and local marine men ex
pect that 1t will result in practically
all freighters, whether with large OF
small crews. soon will be equipped
with wireless telegraph.

MORE PAY AND

What practically means more pay
with shorter hours will fall TO the lot
of officers In the great White Star

Guild is officially informed by the
White Star Line of substantial i'm
Iroyements in the pay and general
conditions of the officers Of the fleet,
which has taken effect in the case of
all steamers leaving On and after May
1st. All the officers will then be
granted increased pay, in many cases
to the extent of SIS TO $50 per month.
A special system Of annual leave for
all the commanders and officers of
the fleet is to be arranged as soon as
possible, and officers will be given
an annual holiday extending TO three
weeks, two Of which will be made
continuous, whenever circumstances
viii admit of it. Officers royal naval
reServe drill will not be counted as
holidays The officers will not, as
hitherto, be required to undergo the
sight tests at the board of trade, but
will be examined by the company's
own doctor Considerable improve
ments are TO be inaugurated as re-
CARDS watch-keeping, and as soon as
the company can arrange it, all Off
GERS throughout the company will be
put on three watches and in a large
plumber of the ships an additional Of
ficer viii be carried in order that this
may be done This eventually will
lead to the entire abolition of the two
watch system in the White Star line.
Improved conditions are also to be in

ing of officers, who in the first-class
passenger steamers will fare accord
ing to the first-class menu. the daily

said that some alterations viii be

At about 6 a. m. on June 20 they were
picked up in a most perilous situation
as they were rapidly drifting out to

were all saved and most certainly owe
their lives to the heroism of the pris-
oner Teraikai.
