Seamen bill passed by Senate promises three shipping reforms
Senator Fletcher announced the Seaman's bill would advance seamen’s freedom, ship safety, and wage-cost equalization in foreign and domestic trade. The La Follette substitute tightens quarters and safety, loosens port restrictions, and seeks treaty abrogation for foreign ships. Burton and Bacon efforts to amend failed. La Follette attacked E V Chamberlain’s navigation reports as pro shipowners.
