After an investigation of the existing practices, Secretary Hoover of the Department of Commerce issued instructions on Nov. 12, 1921, amending the second edition of Circular No. 265 of July 1, 1919. It was provided that the Collectors of Customs (or their representatives) should suggest to the officers of the vessels the orders to be given. These should touch upon matters ordinarily arising in the daily routine work of the crew in each department, as well as orders involving any emergencies that may be expected to arise in the process of handling, operating or navigating ships. These rulings were received with satisfaction by the officials of the I.S.U. See Bulletin of the Bureau of Labor Statistics No. 342 of 1923 (U.S. Department of Labor), pp. 39-41; statement of Andrew Furuseth, President of the International Seamen's Union, Establishment of an American Merchant Marine, Hearings of 1919-20, pp. 1641-42; and statements in Amendment of the Merchant Marine Act of 1920, Joint Hearings of 1922, Vol. II, pp. 1361-62, 1454-58 and 1474-75; Proceedings of the Annual Convention of the International Seamen's Union, 1920, pp. 22, 136; 1921, p. 380; 1923, p. 17; and 1927, p. 18.

Moreover, they charge, that any increase in the cost of operating fishing boats would work to the advantage of foreign fishermen in direct competition with the American fishermen. For various statements and letters of fishery interests, see Extension of Steamboat Inspection Laws, Hearing on H.R. 6189, etc. of 1936, pp. 94, 107, 126, 135, 216, 294-323....
