MORE AMERICANS
In U. S. SHIP CREWS
Proportion of Citizens Is 92
p. C. or % P. c. Higher
Than a Year Ago.

The Americanixation of the crews of
the Shipping Board fleet was almost
completely attained during the fiscal
year ended June so. 1922. Il is shown
by records OF the Sea Service Bureau.
During the year the fifteen agencies
OF the bureau at Atlantic. Gulf and
Pacific ports placed a total of A.7s2
officers and men. OF whom 90 per cent
were American citizens. This shows
an increase Of 23.2 per cent. in the
placement of Americans. as compared
with the previous year.
Impetus was given to the Americana
zation movement by the issuance of
sgeneral, order III on August 81. 1921.
which was to the effect that all crews
tar Shipping Board vessels should be
obtained through the Sea Service Bu-
reau when competent men were avail
able, and that preference should be
given to competent American seamen.
During the last half OF the fiscal year
the percentage of American citizens
employed on the boards cargo vessels
from all ports averaged 95 per cent.
This included men in all departments.
deck. engine and stewards. Crews on
the passenger ships on the Atlantic
In the deck and engine departments
and 81 per cent. in the stewards de-
partment. The boards passenger ves-
sells on the Pacific average about 50
per cent. American citizens In the deck
and engine departments and 45 per
cent. in the stewards department.
American citizens in all the board S
passenger vessels. including all depart
ments. averaged 66 per cent. The
smaller percentage of citizens on pas
senger than on freight vessels is as
cribed to the fact that there is not a
large body OF Americans trained and
experienced In the work of the stew
ards department on passenger vessels.
Until recently there have been TO really
large american passenger vessels in
service. and therefore opportunities for
training have been lacking. Further
