VESSELS GOING T0SEA
must HAVE l|FEB0ATS
Provision for All Aboard Required
in Bill Before the
House.

."Lifeboats enough for all aboard-or
you can't put to sea-" is the ultimatum
to ocean steamers as laid down in the
Alexander bill, reported to the House
late last night. The measure is a sub
stitute for the La Toilette seaman's
bill which passed the Senate, and con-
forms exactly to the recommendations
of the London convention on safety at
sea, which was called as the result of
the Titanic disaster.
While the 100 per cent lifeboat fea-
ture Of the bill is of most interest, the
bill Is an extremely long one, and COW
ers every phase of sea safety possible
at this time in single piece of legis-
lation.
Provisions Of the Bill.
1t specifies the number of able sea-
men to be carried in crew, the num-
Der Of passengers allowed in various
kinds of lifeboats, establishes the new
grade of .'certifcated lifeboat men,"
makes no rules for requirements for
able seamen. guards seamen from the
crooked practices of employment
agents and sailors boarding houses"
which in the past have shanghaiied and
robbed sailors and seamen, regardless
Oh law anu Justice, makes snip owners
provide sanitary and commodious
quarters for the crew. with baths, and
specifies the number of hours, afloat or
ashore, that seamen may work.
The old requirements for able seamen
were getting a little antiquated for
modern sea service, as the handling of
ropes and the ordinary old-time deck
service are Of little use to the husky
blue -shirted citizen who now embarks
aboard a trap for the South American
trip.
Able Seaman Defined.
Consequently. as able seamen are
letting scarce under the old require
ments, the Alexander bill specifies that
three years of sea service" shall make
a man an able seaman, and on the lakes
two years of service aboard the big
ships shall constitute apprenticeship.
For excursion steamers lifeboats
carrying from so per cent to 70 per
cent of passenger capacity in the rush
season must be carried. The commit
tee reports that excursion steamers are
rarely far from shore and that il
would be impossible for them to carry
100 per cent capacity in lifeboats in
the months from May to September.

they can advance themselves. and the
cost is to be just as low as 1t is possible
to make 1t.
Service Of Teachers at Cost.
If it is necessary to employ teachers
their services will be given to the classes
at cost to the Home Club, although it is
stated that many of the subjects are to
be taught by volunteers from the club.
There will be debates and lectures in
connection with the classes. and these al
ways will be free to the club members, 1t
is declared.
Statements outlining the plans Of the
school committee are being circulated
around the Interior Department. They
enumerate the studies which already
have been picked out and ask the en-
ployes to make other suggestions. The
classes SO far planned are algebra.
arithmetic. biology, cooking. chemis-
try. current events, drawing, English.
Esperanto. economics. French, geog-
raphy, German. geometry. hygiene.
Biography. political science. sewing,
Spanish, stenography, trigonometry and
typewriting.
Opportunities to Members.
By joining the Home Clubs classes,
the statement says, one can gain the
knowledge "for getting the best out of
life"

ment," the statement continues" offers
