Marine and Oceanic Safety Reforms Urged After Sechelt Wreck
A marine court criticised inspectors after the Sechelt wreck near Beechy Head on March 24. It urged a larger board, with an expert in naval architecture, to assess vessel stability. The court blamed the pass by a government inspector and noted deck-load shifting as a probable cause. It also reviewed the Princess May case and discussed new anti rolling tech for ships like the Cunard Laconia.

Victorian court fines contractors over alien labor import
Grant, Smith & Co. were fined $100 after being found guilty of bringing alien laborers from Seattle to work on Vancouver Island railway construction. Police Magistrate Jay ruled immigration instructions referenced the Immigration Act, not the Allen Labor Act, barring such workers for railway work. The Victoria Trades and Labor Council protested to Ottawa against Immigration Department policy.
