The Dingley bill’s limits fail to curb boarding house evasion

The Dingley bill, praised a year ago as a protection for sailors and a boost to shipping, appears to have little real effect. Sailors’ boarding house keepers skirt the law by subterfuge, with evasions common in Boston and reportedly worse in New York and other eastern ports. San Francisco is said to observe the provisions more closely.
