Abolishing the Flag on Pacific Passenger Ships
The Pacific steamship act signed by President Wilsen bans displaying the American flag on passenger steamers plying the Pacific. A clause requires 75 percent English understanding among crew in each department, likely forcing Chinese employees off ships and raising costs as white sailors replace them. Pacific Mail Steamship Co plans cuts and higher wages, delaying service and reshuffling crew composition.
