WASHINGTON, Sept. l0.--The sea
mans bill. as II passed the house,
adds nothing to the safety of travel
at sea.
The bill does one excellent thing In
abolishing involuntary seryitude
among seamen. This Is done by the
provision wiping out that time-honor-
ed practice OF arrestipg and returning
TO the ship any member of a crew de-
sorting In an American port. Such
arrest has for years been made part
or the duty Of local police, 80 that
seamen were pursued like convicts II
they left their jobs In port. Under
the bill as passed by the house, sea-
men are entitled to draw half their
pay and TO quit the job at any port, II
they wish to do so. In other words. a
seaman's job is now, for the first time
in history, made like that of any other
worker.
But safety for passengers is not
provided in the bill as II now stands.
The status of the bill, by the way, is
bit unusual. II passed the senate
In excellent shape as the La Toilette
seaman's bill: was finally reduced to
compromise form and passed the
house last week, with some good and
some bad provisions. Then Il was
sent to conference.-the usual proceed
ure-but later recalled on motion OF
Senator Clarke. OF Arkansas, and re-
fer-ed TO the senate committee on
commerce, where II Is now being con.
sidered
Tie bill retains the inadequate pro-
visions for lifeboats and RATS as first
reported from the Alexander commit
tee in the house. For instance, II pro.
vides that only 75 per cent of the pas.
sengers and crew on trans-oceanic
vessels are to be provided with life.
boat space; % per cent being taken
care Of on RATS. On vessels running
within 20 miles of shore. 30 per cent
OF the people on board will have to
| swim the 20 miles IL they wish to be
| saved In case Of wreck or fire. On
/, vessels of this class, only 80 per cent
OF passengers and crew must be pro
vided with lifeboats; 35 per cent with
life RATS. and 80 per cent are left
without provision. On the Great
Lakes, outside the three-mile limit
only 20 per cent Of the ships company
are to be provided with boats, 80 per
cent with RATS. and so per cent will
have to be good swimmers.
The house bill also fails to include

Rlieht Have Another Message

In spite of President Wilson's neutrality message
and the sentiment of the country, two American yes
sells went to supplying German warship on the At
lantic and were caught in the act by British cruiser
The British government merely asked that our gov
eminent punish the offenders.
1t now appears that there is no law for such pun
ishment
Another message is due from the president 1t
should be addressed to all foreign governments, ano
should be short and sweet, thus:
s'When you catch Americans taking part as bellig
erent in this war, punish them YOURSELF We can't.
It is uncalled for and sheer waste of energy that
our administration be worried the fate OfAmer
leans who participate, side or the other in this
for the sake of dirty dollars Some such notice
as the message we've suggested should be given.
America attitude is that of the neutral the peace
maker the unprecedented helper of the suffering VIC
lation of her neutrality is little short of treason and
if foreign nations catch Americans at it, they will
have the full consent of America to deal with the cu
prits as best suits them.
