Movement for licensed crews for passenger steamships gains bill
The National Movement for Government Inspection Crews of Passenger Steamships led by R Lincoln Cummings of Brookline Mass reports a blue book and a Senate bill passage. They cite the Slocum and Tarchmont losses, efforts in Boston Tremont Building, and endorsements from boards of trade and Congress for a law mandating licensed officers and crews for passenger vessels. The measure, presented to Secretary Straus and supported by John Weeks, would amend the Revised Statutes to require a proper complement of licensed crew and provide inspection appeal rights and penalties for noncompliance.
