Boat Treaty Bill Change Is Demanded by Alaska Steam
At a Senate Commerce Subcommittee hearing Joseph Weaver former Chief of the Government's Maritime Inspection forces urged passage of McNary's bill to exempt fishing vessels from certain Federal rules saying it would relieve West Coast firms. Opponents led by CIO Maritime and Fishery Workers said the move harkens back to crowded ships and unfair conditions. Weaver cited Alaska Steamship Company and others seeking a monopoly while alleging half a million dollars in costs from current regulations for Bristol Bay operators. The hearing also backed a separate bill to exempt boats under a hundred tons from the International Seamen's Labor Standards treaty for October entry into force, with limits for fishing and pleasure craft.
