Aside from these legal provisions, whatever compensation for accident he may receive is obtained through agreement with his employer or through court action. When the longshoremen’s and harbor workers’ compensation bill was introduced in Congress in 1926 it included seamen as well as the designated maritime workers, but before passage the provision relating to seamen was eliminated. The contention was made during the hearings on the bill that the rights of seamen were adequately protected under maritime law, which secured not only a continuation of wages and maintenance and “cure” in the sense of necessary treatment and reasonable care but also the right to prosecute for indemnity if the ship is liable for the accident through unseaworthiness or negligence. That contention raised the question of how injured seamen actually fare under existing law. Discussions and hearings following the introduction of compensation legislation for maritime workers evel. oped the fact that there was a remarkable absence of information regarding accidents to workers of that class. This condition was also brought out in a speech before the marine section of the National Safety Council at Chicago in September, 1927, by Capt. Irving L. fon, urging shinowners to keep complete records, during which e said: The marine industry is seriously handicapped in that there is no central source of information, reliable or otherwise, showing even approximately the number of deaths and permanent personal injuries, to say nothing of accidents of a less serious nature occurring aboard ship. * * * The shipowner has complete information or “statistics,” as to the methods and sources of obtaining cargo and passengers to carry and thereby earn revenue. If they are to compete successfully with foreign-flag vessels they must look not only to increasing the tonnage to be carried in American bottoms but also to the reduction of overhead and operating expenses. This can be done. to some ! Section 4612 of the Revised Statutes defines master, seaman, vessel, and owner as follows: “In the con-Struetion of this title, every person having command of any vessel belonging to any citizen of the United States shall be deemed the ‘master’ thereof; and every person (apprentices excepted) who shall be employed to serve in any capacity on board the same shall be deerned and taken to be a ‘seaman’; and the term ‘vessel’ shall be understood to comprehend every description of vessel navigating on any sea or ¢hannel, lake, or river, to which the provisions of this title may be applicable, and the term ‘owner’ shall De taken and understood to comorehend all the saveral persons, if more than one, to whom the vaseal shall ne. 2 SETTLEMENT FOR ACCIDENTS TO AMERICAN SEAMEN extent at least, by wise and intelligent handling of the information constantly passing through the office of every shipowner. It is in the form of reports of accidents, damage, and loss, also the payment of many claims. Complete information covering accidents and claims will not only enable the shipowners to reduce the number of accidents and claims, and thereby save through a reduction in the total amount paid for claims, insurance premiums, or assessments under compensation laws, but will place them in a position to deal successfully and intelligently with proposed legislation, whether favorable or adverse. In view of the lack of data the Bureau of Labor Statistics undertook a study to determine the actual status of seamen with regard to injuries and recovery therefor. Its study covered three points: (1) The physical injury, (2) the compensation received therefor through personal settlement or court action, and (3) an estimate of the compensation which would have been payable if the injured seamen had been covered by compensation legislation similar to that enacted by Congress in 1927 for longshoremen and harbor workers. Accident rates and insurance rates were not included in the study. Data were completed for 1,195 cases, of which 899 were direct settlements and 296 involved legal representatives for the seamen and the consequent payment of legal fees. It was found that the average settlement in the 899 cases not involving legal fees was $262.47 per case as compared with the average estimated settlement of $352.56 under the adaptation of the provisions of the longshoremen’s and harbor workers’ compensation act employed in this study. In the 296 cases involving legai fees the amount of the settlement included the amount paid by the seaman as legal fees. Such information as could be obtained indicated that the cases were taken by the attorney on a contingent fee. This was stipulated as one-half or more than one-half of the amount recovered in 87 per cent of the 62 cases in which the fee was learned. The average of the gross amounts paid by the insurance or shipping company in the 296 cases was $1,317.03 per case. Assuming that the legal fees in these cases were as low as 40 per cent of the settlement, the average net amount received by the seaman would have been $790.22 as compared with the average estimated settlement of $821.07 under the assumed conditions of this study. Scope of Study The bureau’s study covered all claims settled in the 1926 business year by the more important shipping companies and marine underwriters in the New York City area, for which the bureau was sable to obtain sufficient information concerning disability and settlement to make a comparison with the provisions of the longshoremen’s compensation act. The 1,195 cases shown are representative of settlements consummated in one year forinjury to all classes of American seamen (except those on the Great Lakes), even though some of the injuries occurred one, two, or even five years prior to settlement. The initial information obtained from the company records of claims closed was supplemented by data gathered from other sources. No data were collected as to the number of ships operating, the number of seamen employed, or the number of accidents occurring to seamen. Further, the bureau made no attempt to determine how often injuries result in a claim, or how many injuries there were for INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY which no claim was made, but which were deserving of recompense. There were a considerable number of injuries for which seamen would have been recompensed had claims been filed. This indicates a lack of knowledge on the part of seamen as to their rights when injured, or a feeling of the futility of trying to prosecute a claim because of inexperience in these matters. Hypothetic Application of Compensation Law An estimate was also made of the total amount which would probably have been recovered had the same accident cases been adjudicated according to the provisions of a compensation law such as the longshoremen’s and harbor workers’ compensation act, retaining, however, the seaman’s present right to maintenance and cure, and wages to the end of the voyage. The longshoremen’s act was made the basis of comparison because the original bill (S. 3170) included seamen and hence is suppositionally the kind of instrument which would cover seamen if they were made subject to such legislation; and, moreover, because longshoremen and seamen often work side by side, and in some cases longshoremen and seamen are injured in the same accident. In estimating the probable amount payable to seamen under a compensation law, the compensation allowed longshoremen for comparable disabilities was applied, as nearly as practicable, to each of the 1,195 cases of injured seamen. Comparative Summary Table 1 shows averages for all cases studied (including 29 cases in which the injury was not followed by an incapacitating disability) as well as for those cases in which the injury was followed by disability as defined by the longshoremen’s compensation act, viz, ‘incapacity because of injury to earn the wages which the employee was receiving at the time of the injury in the same or any other employment.” Another subdivision is made of the latter class for those cases in which the disability continued beyond the duration of the seaman’s contract (articles). The cases in each division are classified according to whether or not their settlement involved the payment of legal fees. Of the 29 cases included in the first division which were followed by no technical disability, the injuries in 14 were not severe enough for the seaman to leave his duties except for first-aid treatment; 8 caused the seaman to be relieved from duty for a short time as, for example, the remainder of the watch; and 7 of the injuries were more severe, but because of the nature of their duties the seamen were able to stand regular watch. In one instance a radio operator sprained his knee, while in another a second engineer was bruised and scalded about the head and face. None of these cases would have received any consideration under a compensation law because there was no Incapacity to earn wages. 1 SETTLEMENT FOR ACCIDENTS TO AMERICAN SEAMEN TABLE 1.— Average amounis paid to injured seamen and estimated amounts payable under adaptation of longshoremen’s act, and average days of total disability, by method of settlement All cases studied t Cases involving disability Beyond duration of seaman'’s articles Method of settling cases Potal Average amount actually paid Probable recovry un der compensa- act Avrage days of total disabil- Total Average amount actually (paid Probable recov Ty Under com-Jensa- act Total!

See Tables 2 and 3, pages 7 and 8, for details of fees charged in some cases. ¥ Includes “gross amounts” of settlements in 206 cases involving legal fees. Cases involving no legal fees.—In the cases involving no legal fees the amounts shown as actually paid are the net amounts received by the seamen. The 874 cases settled by personal agreement include al cases settled by agreement between the seamen and a claim adjuster for the shipping company or the underwriter, a comparatively small number referred by mutual agreement to the United States Compensation Commission for adjudication, and a few cases in which the seaman retained an attorney but later personally made a settlement with the claim adjuster without the knowledge of the attorney. The actual average net settlement in these 874 cases was $269.81. Under the adaptation of the longshoremen’s law as made in this study the average estimated settlement would have been $351.29. or $81.48 more than the seamen actually received. The 25 cases in which no claim was filed are those in which the seamen were disabled and would have been entitled to compensation under the adaptation of the longshoremen’s law, or to wages and maintenance under their maritime rights had they presented claims. The wages paid to seaman when put ashore constituted the only settlement in any of these cases. In three cases there were a0 wages due, as the accident occurred just at the end of the voyage. In one other case no part of the wages due under this right was paid INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY 5 because the seaman was put ashore when his incapacity began and was never heard from in regard to a settlement. In 10 cases the seaman remained aboard and was paid wages up to the time of expiration of his articles. The other 11 seamen were put ashore before the end of the voyage and were paid at that time. They did not receive the additional wages to which they were entitled, in most cases probably because they took no steps to recover such wages. The average actual net payment to the seamen in these cases after being injured was $6.02, while the probable recovery under the compensation act would have averaged $396.94. It is noted that the period of total disability in the cases settled by personal agreement averaged 49.4 days, while in the cases for which no claim was filed total disability lasted 41.8 days. The average probable recovery under the compensation act for these two groups of cases would have been $351.29 and $396.94, respectively. The latter average is considerably higher than the former because the latter group includes one case of arm dismemberment and two cases of finger amputation in which the computed compensation is based on the permanent partial disability schedule in the longshoremen’s law, which provides a much longer period of payment than the actual total days of disability. After having received hospital treatment, the seaman whose arm was dismembered was deported and no action was taken to recover for the injury. Three per cent of all cases settled by personal agreement involved amputation and dismemberment, while 12 per cent of the cases in which no claim was filed were injuries of this type. The average net settlement per case for both groups combined was $262.47, while the probable recovery under a law similar to the longshoremen’s act would have been $352.56, or $90.09 more per case. Cases involving legal fees.—In these cases the bureau secured data regarding the amount of the settlement as paid by the shipowner or the underwriter, but except for a comparatively few cases the amount which the seaman actually received could not be ascertained. All of the amounts shown as settlements in these cases include the amounts later paid by the seaman in legal fees, but do not include court costs. Information as to the amounts of such fees was extremely difficult to obtain. The amount of the legal fee has been verified in 22 cases. In 12 of these the fee formed 50 per cent of the amount recovered, In 3, 40 per cent, and in the other 7 cases 60, 53, 43, 39, 29, 27, and 25 per cent, respectively. The simple average of attorney charges in the 22 cases is a little over 45 per cent. . The average actual “gross’’ settlement per case in the cases involv-Ing legal fees was $1,317.03, as compared with a probable “net” settlement of $821.07 under the longshoremen’s act. Estimating the average fees charged by the attorney in such cases at 40 per cent of the amount of the settlement, the “net” amount received by the Seaman would have averaged $790.22 per case, or $30.85 less than he would have received under the adaptation of the longshoremen’s act. If the lawyer's fees had averaged as much as 50 per cent of the amount of ‘the settlement, the average net amount received by the seaman would have been $658.52, or $162.55 less per case than the estimate under the compensation law. 6 ‘SETTLEMENT FOR ACCIDENTS TO AMERICAN SEAMEN In the 80 cases settled by agreement between a claim adjuster and an attorney acting for the seaman the average gross amount actually paid per case was $507.40, while the estimated recovery under the longshoremen’s act would be $497.90, or 98.1 per cent of the former amount. In the 182 cases settled by compromise between the attorneys of the two parties after legal action to recover damages for injury had been commenced, the settlements shown include the legal fees. The settlements in these cases averaged $1,169.29, while the probable settlement under the act would have been $844.01, or 72.2 per cent of the actual settlement. The majority of the 34 cases prosecuted to judgment were tried before a jury, but in a few instances the trial by jury was waived and the settlement was the result of the court’s judgment. The average actual gross settlement in these 34 cases was $4,012.89, while the probable settlement under adaptation of the act would have been $1,458.69. In 1 of these cases the verdict was for $34,000; in 8 cases the verdicts ranged from $7,500 to $14,700; in 1 case the verdict was for $5,000; and in 15 the verdict ranged from $130 to $2,500. In 9 cases the court’s decision was adverse to the seaman, although in each case there was actual disability arising “out of and in course of the employment,” and settlement with the seaman to the extent of wages and maintenance would have been made had he chosen to keep his case out of court. In four of the nine cases the seaman began legal action because he thought the ship could be proved liable, but in each case he failed to prove liability and the case was dismissed. In three cases action was started, but when the case came to trial the plaintiff failed to appear and the case was dismissed. In one the seaman sued the wrong party, and in the ninth case the statute of limitations barred the seaman from proceeding with his case. The high verdicts first mentioned were what might be termed ‘sympathy verdicts.” The reason for the differences in the ratios between the estimated settlement and the average length of the disability shown for the three groups of cases in which legal fees were involved is the difference in the nature of the cases included in the different groups. The ratios are, respectively, an estimated settlement of $497.40, based on 86.5 days’ average diasbility; $844.01, based on 86 days’ average disability; and $1,458.69, based on 144.9 days’ average disability. One per cent of the cases closed by settlement with the attorney, 6 per cent of the cases settled by compromise, and 12 per cent of the cases settled by jury or judge were dismemberments or amputations. For such permanent partial disabilities the longshoremen’s law provides a schedule specifying the number of weeks’ compensation to be paid and this schedule raises the basic period for which compensation was computed far above the actual period of disability. All cases studied —The average settlement for all cases studied was $523.69. Assuming that legal fees in the 296 cases in which an attorney was engaged averaged as low as 40 per cent of the settlement in each case, and basing a grand average for all cases on this assumption, the actual net recovery by the seaman in each case would have averaged $393.19. This average is $75.42, or 16.1 per cent less than the amount ($468.61) which would probably have been recovered under the longshoremen’s act. as adapted. If the legal fee in the 296 cases INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY 7 had averaged as much as 50 per cent the seamen would have recovered an average of $360.57, which is $108.04, or 23.1 per cent, less than the probable recovery under the longshoremen’s act. Legal Fees Information as to legal fees charged in a number of cases in the study was obtained from legal documents, depositions, reports, attorneys, and also directly from the seamen themselves, through the cooperation of the Seaman’s Church Institute, New York City. Such information indicates that the legal fees charged are almost witRout exception contingent upon recovery and in most cases are specified as 50 per cent of the settlement, although an occasional case may specify as low as 25 per cent. A very few minor cases are handled by representatives of charitable organizations for a small fee, usually not exceeding 10 per cent. Table 2 shows detailed figures for 22 cases in which the amounts of the fees collected were verified. In reference to case No. 182 for which data are shown in the table, it is necessary to point out that the contract of retainer specified that the fee would be 50 per cent of the settlement. The suit was brought through a representative of the seaman’s widow, the widow at the time being a nonresident alien. The attorney in the case, after collecting 50 per cent of the settlement, also collected the sum of $594.94 to cover “expenses” sald to have been incurred in the prosecution of the case. The fees shown in the table do not cover any of the legitimate fees, court cost, or other expense items usually incurred in the trial of such cases, and all such charges have been eliminated from any of the figures shown ag settlements in this study.

Table 4 shows the average period of total disability, of treatment, and of convalescence; the average period for which the seamen were entitled to wages, the average amounts of wages and maintenance, and wages to which they were entitled, and the average amounts actually paid, as well as the estimated recovery under the adaptation of the longshoremen’s act. The table also shows the number of cases in which the separate items were involved. For example, of the cases settled by personal agreement, the days of treatment on ship in the 555 cases in which such treatment was given averaged 9.9 days per case. Based on the whole number of cases (874) settled by personal agreement, this average was 6.3 days. _ The table, like Table 1, is divided ito two sections. The first section Includes figures for cases in which the seamen had no legal fees to pay because the settlement was consummated after agreement between the seaman and the claim adjustor. The second section includes cases 10 SETTLEMENT FOR ACCIDENTS TO AMERICAN SEAMEN’ settled by an attorney acting for the seaman either by agreement with the claim adjustor, compromise after legal action was commenced, or by the prosecution of the case in the courts. The fee of the seaman’s attorney is included in the amount of the settlements in these groups. Totals are shown for each section and for both sections combined. The chief value of the latter totals is that the figures shown represent the actual average amounts paid by the shipowner or the underwriter to the seamen or their attorneys in settlement of the cases covered in this study.

(21) Other cases: In all other cases in this class of disability the compensation shall be 6624 per centum of the difference between his average weekly wages and his wage-earning capacity thereafter in the same employment or otherwise, payable during the continuance of such partial disability, but subject to reconsideration of the degree of such impairment by the deputy commissioner on his own motion or upon application of any party in interest. Co (22) In case of temporary total disability and permanent partial disability, both resulting from the same injury, if the temporary total disability continues for a longer period than the number of weeks set forth in the following schedule, the period of temporary total disability in excess of such number of weeks shall be added to the compensation period proyided in subdivision (c) of this section: Arm, thirty-two weeks; leg, forty weeks; hand, thirty-two weeks; foo, thirty-two weeks; eye, twenty weeks; thumb, twenty-four weeks; first finger, eighteen weeks; great toe, twelve weeks; second finger, twelve weeks; third finger, eight weeks; fourth finger, eight weeks; toe other than great toe, eight weeks. In any case resulting in loss or partial loss of use of arm, leg, hand, foot, eye, thumb, finger, or toe, where the temporary total disability does not extend beyond the periods above mentioned for such injury, compensation shall be limited to the schedule contained in subdivision (c). i . (d) Any compensation to which any claimant would be entitled under subdivision (¢) excepting subdivision (c—21) shall, notwithstanding death arising 16 SETTLEMENT FOR ACCIDENTS TO AMERICAN SEAMEN from causes other than the injury, be payable to and for the benefit of the persons ollowing: (1) If there be a surviving wife or dependent husband and no child of the deceased under the age of eighteen years, to such wife or dependent husband. (2) If there be a surviving wife or dependent husband and surviving child or children of the deceased under the age of eighteen years, one half shall be payable to the surviving wife or dependent husband and the other half to the surviving child or children. (3) The deputy commissioner may in his discretion require the appointment of a guardian for the purpose of receiving the compensation of the minor child. In the absence of such a requirement the appointment for such a purpose shall not be necessary. (4) If there be a surviving child or children of the deceased under the age of eighteen years, but no surviving wife or dependent husband, then to such child or children. (5) An award for disability may be made after the death of the injured employee. (e) Temporary partial disability: In case of temporary partial disability resulting in decrease of earning capacity the compensation shall be two-thirds of the difference between the injured employee's average weekly wages before the injury and his wage-earning capacity after the injury in the same or another employment, to be paid during the continuance of such disability, but shall not be paid for a period exceeding five years. (f) Injury increasing disability: (1) If an employee receive an injury which of itself would only cause permanent partial disability but which, combined with a previous disability, does in fact cause permanent total disability, the employer shall provide compensation only for the disability caused by the subsequent injury: Provided, however, That in addition to compensation for such permanent partial disability, and after the cessation of the payments for the prescribed period of weeks, the employee shall be paid the remainder of the compensation that would be due for permanent total disability. Such additional compensation shall be paid out of the special fund established in section 44. } (2) In all other cases in which, following a previous disability, an employee receives an injury which is not covered by (1) of this subdivision, the employer shall provide compensation only for the disability caused by the subsequent injury. In determining compensation for the subsequent injury or for death resulting therefrom, the average weekly wages shall be such sum as will reasonably represent the earning capacity of the employee at the time of the subsequent injury. (g) Maintenance for employees undergoing vocational rehabilitation: An employee who as a result of injury is or may be expected to be totally or partially incapacitated for a remunerative occupation and who, under the direction of the commission as provided by section 39 (c) of this act, is being rendered fit to engage in a remunerative occupation, shall receive additional compensation necessary for his maintenance, but such additional compensation shall not exceed $10 a week. The expense shall be paid out of the special fund established in section 44. Compensation for death Sec. 9. If the injury causes death, the compensation shall be known as a death flopeis and shall be payable in the amount and to or for the benefit of the person following: (a) Reasonable funeral expenses not exceeding $200. (b) If there be a surviving wife or dependent husband and no child of the deceased under the age of eighteen years, to such wife or dependent husband 35 per centum of the average wages of the geceased, during widowhood, or dependent widowerhood with two years’ compensation in one sum upon remarriage; and if there be a surviving child or children of the deceased under the age of eighteen years, the additional amount of 10 per centum of such wages for each such child until the age of eighteen years; in case of the death or remarriage of such surviving wife or dependent husband any surviving child of the deceased employee, at the time under eighteen years of age, shall have his compensation increased to 15 per centum of such wage, and the same shall be payable until he shall reach the age of eighteen years: Provided, That the total amount payable shall in no case exceed 6624 per centum of such wages. The deputy commissioner having jurisdiction over the claim may, in his discretion, require the appointment of a guardian for the purpose of receiving the compensation of a minor child. In the PROVISIONS OF ACT AND METHOD OF APPLICATION 17 absence of such a requirement the appointment of a guardian for such purposes shall not be necessary. (¢) If there be a surviving child or children of the deceased under the age of eighteen years, but no surviving wife or dependent husband, then for the support of each such child under the age of eighteen years, 15 per centum of the wages of the deceased: Provided, That the aggregate shall in no case exceed 6624 per centum of such wages. (d) If there be no surviving wife or dependent husband or child under the age of eighteen years or if the amount payable to a surviving wife or dependent husband and to children under the age of eighteen years shall be less in the aggregate than 6624 per centum of the average wages of the deceased; then for the support of grandchildren or brothers and sisters under the age of eighteen years, if dependent upon the deceased at the time of the injury, 15 per centum of such wages for the support of each such person until the age of eighteen years and for the support of each parent, or grandparent, of the deceased if dependent upon him at the time of the injury, 25 per centum of such wages during such dependency. But in no case shall the aggregate amount payable under this subdivision exceed the difference between 6624 per centum of such wages, and the amount payable as hereinbefore provided to surviving wife or dependent husband and for the support of surviving child or children. (e) In computing death benefits the average weekly wages of the deceased shall be considered to have been not more than $37.50 nor less than $12, but the total weekly compensation shall not exceed the weekly wages of the deceased. (f) All questions of dependency shall be determined as of the time of the injury (g) Aliens: Compensation under this chapter to aliens not residents (or about to become nonresidents) of the United States or Canada shall be the same in amount as provided for residents, except that dependents in any foreign country shall be limited to surviving wife and child or children, or if there be no surviving wife or child or children, to surviving father or mother whom the employee has supported, either wholly or in part, for the period of one year prior to the date of the injury, and except that the commission may, at its option or upon the application of the insurance carrier shall, commute all future installments of compensation to be paid to such aliens by paying or causing to be paid to them one-half of the commuted amount of such future installments of compensation as determined bv the commission. Payment of compensation Seo. 14. * * * * % (j) Whenever the deputy commissioner determines that it is for the best interests of a person entitled to compensation, the liability of the employer for such compensation may be discharged by the payment of a lump sum equal to the present value of all future payments of compensation computed at 4 per centum true discount compounded annually. The probability of the death of the injured employee or other person entitled to compensation before the expiration of the period during which he is entitled to compensation shall be determined in accordance with the American Experience Table of Mortality. The probability of the happening of any other contingency affecting the amount or duration of the compensation shall be disregarded. & * * * * * * (m) The total compensation payable under this act for injury or death shall in no event exceed the sum of $7,500. In applying other provisons of the longshoremen’s law to the settled claims certain assumptions have been made to make the provisions of the law apply to the conditions obtaining in the shipping industry. Section 12 (a) of the law provides that “Notice of an injury or a death in respect of which compensation is payable under this act shall be given within thirty days after the date of such injury or death (1) to the deputy commissioner in the compensation district in which the injury occurred, and (2) to the employer.” Under the adminidtration of the longshoremen’s act the districts’ are limited to the United States, while accidents covered in this study occurred in various other parts of the world. The assumption has heen made, therefore, that any injury to an American seaman arising 3 18 SETTLEMENT FOR ACCIDENTS TO AMERICAN SEAMEN outof and in the course of his employment no matter where it occurred, provided the injury resulted in sufficient disability, would be compensable. ? Section 12 (b) provides in reference to (a) that “Such notice shall be in writing, shall contain the name and address of the employee and a statement of the time, place, nature, and cause of the injury, or death, and shall be signed by the employee or by some person in his behalf, or in case of death, by any person claiming to be entitled to compensation for such death or by a person on his behalf.” Obviously many accidents might occur in which it would be impossible for the seaman to make a report within 30 days after the accident occurred. If such notice were not signed by the injured it must be signed by some one in his behalf, which would mean that were a seaman injured on the Indian Ocean in all probability he must have a representative in the United States who will, upon notification, take care of his interests and serve the properly signed notice with the deputy commissioner. Here again the question of what district the accident may have occurred in arises and it 1s not hard to conceive the difficulties that would follow an effort to apply the above provisions of the longshoremen’s act to seamen. It is assumed that these conditions would be obviated if the law were applied to seamen. In the determination of the average wage the longshoremen’s act specifies the methods to be used in the computations. The application of these provisions in this study have been disregarded and the wage rate as specified for the occupation in which the injured seaman was employed at the time of his injury plus an allowance of $30 for food and $15 for quarters per month have been used in meaking all computations, except for some seamen employed on harbor craft who do not receive food and quarters in addition to the money rate, and also where the seaman was working as a work-a-way at the time of injury. In the latter case the rate applying to his regular occupation, plus the allowances above stated, has been applied. Section 6 (a) of the longshoremen’s act provides that— No compensation shall be allowed for the first seven days of disability, * * * Provided, however, That in case the injury results in disability of more than forty-nine days, the compensation shall be allowed from the date of disability. The waiting period which has a definite function in all compensation laws would present a rather unusual problem were it applied to seamen. The provision is designed mainly to lessen the opportunity for malingering and at the same time to develop precaution and safer methods. If the seaman were to receive wages to the end of the voyage, in about 40 per cent of compensable cases the waiting period, if applied, would fall somewhere between the middle and the end of the actual period of disability. Hence, if a waiting period were applied at the end of the rid for-which the seaman receives wages it could not perform a clearly defined function and the bureau has therefore computed compensation from the date that wages ceased to the date the seaman was able to resume work in every case. The only function left the waiting period would be to prevent an award from exceeding the irreducible minimum of expense in the administration of each case adjudicated. Other necessary considerations in applying such an act to seamen would be the requirements for satisfactory evidence, especially in cases where the seaman was left in a hospital in a foreign port and RECORDS FRAGMENTARY 19 the ship upon which he was injured was at sea. At the present time depositions in many cases can not be obtained until long after the accident when the incidents of its occurrence have dimmed in the memory of witnesses and details appearing to be minor in nature at the time but vital in making a just settlement are not available. The agencies through whom settlements are now negotiated often experience great difficulty in obtaining unquestionable facts in regard to an accident. One of the marine underwriters in a memorandum to each of their clients in regard to statements of witnesses to accidents said, “It seems that masters are under the impression that inasmuch as the agency has a representative who boards the vessel on arrival, it is not necessary for the master or his officers to take any action other than to make.out a very hasty report.” This statement seems to express the general tendency of reports of accidents as the bureau has found them in this study. There is also the question of limitations. The voyages of some vessels cover a period of a year or more with an indeterminate ending. Some ships that carry on the trade of the northern seas sail with the intention of an early return, but are often frozen in for the winter in inaccessible locations. Such incidents can never be forecast and voyages are thus necessarily lengthened. It is obvious that limitations that apply to the laws of the land would in many instances be far too rigid and prejudicial to the interests of injured seamen. Records Fragmentary THE inauguration of a general system of keeping records of details of injuries to American seamen would work for the interests of both the shipping companies and the seaman. It is not unusual for accident claims to be filed among those for property damage, cargo shortage, cargo damage, hospitalization of alien seamen, etc. Approximately 6,000 such cases were consulted to obtain the 1,195 cases of injury used in this report. . Approximately 90 per cent of the injury cases in the primary sources were incomplete for the purposes of this study. The bureau therefore proceeded to various other sources for information and in so doing has been able to complete a total of 1,195 cases out of 1,981 cases obtained in the primary sources. Additional information necessary was obtained partly by correspondence and partly by sending representatives of the bureau directly to trace records of ships’ logs, hospital treatment, treatment by private physicians, records of attorneys, shipping commissioners, and the seamen themselves. In this work agents of the bureau visited, in addition to the New York area, 12 ports on the east coast, 5 ports on the Gulf of Mexico, and 6 ports on the west coast; a total of 38 hospitals, 9 physicians, 8 attorneys, 24 shipowners, and many individuals including seamen. In the consideration of data ¢ollected in this study no weight could be given the unknown factor in a large number of cases—that is, all the claims covered, with few exceptions, have brought the injured man in direct contact with the claim adjuster of either a shipping company or a marine underwriter during settlement negotiations, while in this study the bureau has had only cold facts to work with and has had no opportunity to appraise the actual disability. 20 SETTLEMENT FOR ACCIDENTS TO AMERICAN SEAMEN The bureau has taken each case only on the merits of the records, many of which may not have shown a period of convalescence which was actually spent before the seaman could return to work. Probably the most difficult record to find was the date the seaman could resume his duties. Disabilities in which the exact date of return to work was obscure have been treated only to the last known date of disability where the seaman was about able to resume work when discharged from the hospital, while others not so definite were rejected entirely. As already stated, the records of facts concerning injured seamen are to a large extent fragmentary. Many cases. appearing to be relevant were scheduled at the primary sources—the shipowners’ and the underwriters’ records. Additional information from other sources showed that 786 cases, or approximately 40 per cent of the cases covered at the primary sources, could not be used. Two hundred and eight of the 786 rejected cases could have been used had the bureau been able to obtain complete information in each case. One hundred and forty-eight of the 208 cases were injury cases, 28 death cases, 11 were cases in which no time was lost buf a money settlement was made, 5 cases were unproved injury, and 16 were false claims which were settled for small sums by the shipowner or underwriter rather than pay legal fees necessary in the case of litigation. In 96 of the 148 injury cases no claims were filed and no money was paid. In 24 the claims totaled $205,759, but were settled with no payments, and in the other 28 cases the claims totaled $56,208.63 and were settled for $11,927.09. In 15 of the 28 death cases no claims were filed. A gratuity of $500 was paid in one of the 15 cases. The claims in the other 13 cases totaled $256,450 and were settled for $22,800. In 175 cases no time was lost by the injured seaman and sll were very minor injuries. There was no claim filed in 154 of them. In 10 cases claims totaled $33,787.50 but were settled with no money payments. In the other 11 cases the claims totaled $81,963.27 and were settled for $3,921.27. Four claims amounting to $90,000 were found to have been appealed to a higher court which had not yet rendered judgment and they were therefore rejected. Two injuries were found to have arisen “in the course of” but not “out of the employment.” Thirty cases were found probably due to willful misconduct. No claims were filed in any of these. They were of three types: Intoxication, venereal diseases, and aggressors in fights. Because of the doubtful nature of these cases with no proof one way or the other, the bureau thought it best not to include them in the report. Ten cases were rejected because the alleged injury was not proved, although it possibly existed. No records could be found in any of them to support the allegation. In five no claims were filed. In the other five the claims amounted to $35,355 and were settled for $205. Twenty-nine claims after thorough investigation were found to be false. In some of these the ship's articles, the pay rolls, and the shipping commissioner’s records for the voyage upon which the accidents causing injury were alleged to have occurred gave no evidence of the plaintiff having been employed in any capacity. Thirteen of these claims amounted to $121,000, but were settled with no money pay- REGULATIONS AFFECTING SEAMEN 21 ments. The other 16 claims totaled $131,038 and were settled for $417.54. This amount was the aggregate of very small payments which were paid the claimants rather than allow the cases to go into litigation. Fifty-four other cases were found to be for illness other than “Occupational disease,” making a total of 480 rejected cases involving American seamen. No claims were made in 353 of these. In 53 the claims totaled $460,546.50 and were settled with no money payments, while the claims in the remaining 74 cases amounted to $581,-014.90 and were settled for $41,270.90. Three hundred and six other cases after further research were rejected because they were not applicable to the study. Thirty were for hospitalization of alien seamen, 57 were seamen on ships of foreign registry, 154 were longshoremen, 27 were passengers, 14 were repairmen, 10 were dock employees, 8 were painters, 2 were lightermen, and there was one each of the following: Customs inspector, immigration inspector, cattle tender, and a canal employee. Regulations Affecting Seamen THE life of a seaman is distinctly different from that of a landsman and is governed by various other factors. The statement is made in Appendix A, page 45, that “Among the several factors that operate to give to seamen a legal and economic status that differs from that of employed persons generally, two may be noted as especially influential: First, the absolute dependence of the sailor upon his master for the necessaries of life—food, lodging, care in case of sickness or accident, etc., on account of his isolation from other recourse; and second, a like dependence of the master upon the continued and constantly available services of his employee till the completion of his undertaking.” To afford a better understanding of the material presented in this report, details of some of the more important factors governing the seaman’s life will be explained. The navigation laws of the United States provide that— The master of every vessel bound from a port in the United States to any foreign port other than vessels engaged in trade between the United States and the British North American possessions, or the West India Islands, or the Republic of Mexico, or of any vessel of the burden of seventy-five tons or upward, bound from a port on the Atlantic to a port on the Pacific, or vice versa, shall, before he proceeds on such voyage, make an agreement, in writing or in print, with every seaman whom he carries to sea as one of the crew, * * * It is not unusual, however, for the masters of ships engaged in trade exempted from the quoted law to sign their crews on articles for their own protection as if it were a legal obligation. The same form is used in coastwise and foreign shipping, differing only by additional inserted stipulations. Such inserted stipulations for coastwise and other trade not subject to the law referred to usually designate the voyage as from one port to the next so that in case of accident or injury the seaman may be released from the articles and put ashore at the next port, and the ship, for this reason, is not liable or wages for any period after the seaman goes ashore. The form of the articles used in the signing of the crew is also specified by the navigation laws and is shown below: 22 SETTLEMENT FOR ACCIDENTS TO AMERICAN SEAMEN Form of articles of agreement UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. {Date and place of first signature of agreement, including name of shipping office. ) It is agreed between the master and seamen or mariners of the — - - of which ——— ———— is at present master, or whoever shall go for master, now bound from the port of ——, ———, to ————, ——— (here the voyage is to be described and the places named at which the vessel is to touch, or if that can not be done, the general nature and probable length of the voyage is to be stated). And the said crew agree to conduct themselves in an orderly, faithful, honest, and sober manner, and to be at all times diligent in their respective duties, and to be obedient to the lawful commands of the said master, or of any person who shall lawfully succeed him, and of their superior officers in everything relating to the vessel, and the stores and cargo thereof, whether on board, in boats, or on shore; and in consideration of which service, to be duly performed, the said master hereby agrees to pay the said crew, as wages, the sums against their names respectively expressed, and to supply them with provisions according to the annexed scale.

And it is also agreed that if any member of the crew considers himself to be aggrieved by any breach of the agreement or otherwise, he shall represent the same to the master or officer in charge of the vessel, in a quiet and orderly manner, who shall thereupon take such steps as the case may require. And it is also agreed that (here any other stipulations may be inserted to which the parties agree, and which are not contrary to law).

Generally only those ships which maintain a regular schedule from an American port to certain foreign ports and return end their voyage at the port of shipment. The common practices of maritime law holding an American ship engaged in foreign trade responsible for the return of its sick or disabled seamen to the port of shipment, unless signed off by mutual consent, have been upheld by the courts, and steamship companies in general provide the necessary transportation as soon as such seamen are able to travel. Under the provisions of the navigation laws, there is also appropriated a special fund ‘to provide for the seamen of the United States who may be found destitute” in the various consular districts of foreign countries ‘sufficient subsistence and passage to some port in the United States, in the most reasonable manner. REGULATIONS AFFECTING SEAMEN 23 at the expense of the United States, subject to such instructions as the Secretary of State shall give. The seamen shall, if able, be bound to duty on board the vessels in which they may be transported, according to their several abilities.” This destitute seaman’s fund is available for use by the consuls and vice consuls who look after the interests of sick and disabled seamen put ashore in foreign ports and often make complete arrangements for the return of the seamen to the United States either as a “consular passenger’’ or, if able to perform duties, as a “work-a-wayv.” Reporting Injuries or Illness The routine of events following every case of illness or injury of a seaman begins with the entry in the ship’s log showing the nature of the injury or illness, the medical treatment given, and usually if an injury, the manner in which it occurred. The master then makes up in duplicate or triplicate a report of the occurrence to be forwarded to the offices of the owner and to the underwriter or insurance broker if the owner is not a “self-insurer.”” Although these reports provide space for a complete description of nearly all pertinent matters concerning the seaman and his injury, the bureau found that the reports are seldom filled in completely and often some of the more important items are wanting. Shown below are two fypes of forms largely used in reporting injuries, and two used for illnesses. 24 SETTLEMENT FOR ACCIDENTS TO AMERICAN SEAMEN REPORT OF PERSONAL INJURY E.8 consis Managing Agent eee eens ene aes Dete 0F SANG -.eeemmeemsemmenmeeeesseemmeee seems emmeemmere VO0F8Z0 NO. eemmemoemee creme emeeenmermecns msermsecmesmmanns wen eeemeermeemeemnnn Articles NO. oemoeereeee.

If the injury is not of a serious nature and reasonable medical attention can be given him on beard ship the voyage may continue to the next regular port of call. If the seaman is left in the intermediate port or the next regular port of call, the master must pay him at that time the accrued wages up to the time he leaves the ship. This is done before a duly authorized shipping commissioner, or, if the ship is in a foreign port, before a consular officer. The general maritime law, as adopted by the courts of the United States, allows a seaman falling sick or injured during the course of a voyage wages to the end of the voyage, whether he remains on board or 1s left in a port for medical treatment. Very often—probably in the greater number of cases— when the injury is of a minor nature, the seaman continues the voyage doing less important tasks and receiving full wages to the end of the voyage although his value to the ship is considerably impaired. Injured seamen left in a foreign port are, when practicable, returned to the port of shipment on the same ship or another ship belonging to the same company. If they recuperate sufficiently, they sometimes work their way back aboard other ships, or seek other employment ashore. After a seaman has recovered from an injury or an illness, it is his duty, as expressed in some court opinions, to seek employment to minimize the amount of wages that the vessel owner may be called upon to pay. Wages for the period from the time a seaman is put ashore for medical treatment after being injured to the termination of the ship's articles are usually a constituent part of the settlement made by the shipowner or the underwriter with the seaman in closing claims for damages, pain and suffering, maintenance, ete., due as a result of the injury. A number of cases were used in the study in which the seamen, left ashore for treatment, were able to go to work prior to the date of the end of the voyage on which the injury occurred. The settlement in some of the cases was negotiated with the respective seamen at the time a medical examiner pronounced him fit for duty. The bureau could neither establish the date on which the seaman actually went to work, if at all, nor the amount of earnings, if any, earned before the end of the voyage. Hence the amount of wages the seaman was entitled to in such cases was computed to the date the seaman was physically able to work, on the assumption that he did find employment immediately and earned an amount equivalent to his former wage plus maintenance. A brief summary of the development and the adoption of maritime law by the United States and a brief outline of court decisions construing the seaman’s right to wages, prepared by the legal department of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, follows: The present maritime law, which allows a seaman injured in the service of the ship full wages at least to the end of the voyage, is based on the Laws of Oleron but probably has an earlier origin. (Arts. 6. 7. I Pardess 327); the Laws of Wisby (arts. 19, 20, 21, I Pardess. REGULATIONS AFFECTING SEAMEN 33 473, 474); and the Laws of the Hanse Towns (arts. 39, 40, 45, 46; 1614, t. 14, arts. 1, 8, 2-2 Pardess 519, 521, 556). He receives full wages for the whole voyage because the disability is supposed to have continued until the termination of the voyage. (See opinion by J. Davis in Natterstrom v. The Hazard, Bee 441, Fed. Case No. 10055.) This principle of general maritime law has been adopted by several countries. * (See French Ordinances, liv. 3, tit. 4; Des Loyers des Matelots, art. 11-4, Pardess 366; Code de Commerce, art. 262; L'Ord de la Marine, liv. 3, tit. 4, art. 11; England, Chandler ». Grieves (1792), 2 H. BL. 606, note (a); see Abbot, Merchant Ship, 14th Ed., London, 1901, p. 250.) This principle of maritime law has been adopted in the United States. The general maritime principle that a seaman injured in the performance of his duties is entitled to receive full wages at least to the end of the voyage has been construed to include wages to the end of the voyage of the ship whether he remains on board or is left in a foreign port. (See George Ticknor Curtis's Treatise on the Rights and Duties of Merchant Seamen, Boston, 1841, page 290.) Cases adopting these principles in the United States are as follows: Fireman injured on outbound trip from New York to Rio de Janeiro, placed in hospital at St. Thomas, picked up on return trip and returned to New York though he was unable to work on the return trip, was entitled to wages for the entire voyage. (The North America (1872), D. C. E. D. N. Y., Fed. Case No. 10314.) Seaman out of Boston was injured and discharged at Melbourne and was shipped home by consul. He was entitled to wages to end of voyage. (Callon ». Williams (1871), D. C. D. Mass., Fed. Case No. 2324.) Seaman injured on trip from New York to Vera Cruz was cared for at the expense of the ship and wages paid to the end of the voyage. Apparently he continued on board. = (The City of Alexandria (1883), D.C.8.D. N.Y, 17 Fed. 390.) Seaman on ship from San Francisco to Australia via Puget Sound was injured at Puget Sound while loading the ship and was immediately sent to a hospital and paid off. Held he was entitled to wages from time of accident to the date of the vessel’s return from Australia to an American port. (The Governor Ames (1891), D. C. D. Wash.; N. D. 55, Fed. 327.) Cook was injured while ship was being towed from dock at Seattle to open water on trip to Alaska and was immediately put ashore and caused to be taken to a hospital. Held injured man was entitled to wages to end of voyage. (Wilson ». Manhattan Canning Co. (1914), D. C. W. D. Wash.; N. D. 210, Fed. 898; affirmed on appeal (1914), C. C. A. 9th Circuit, 217 Fed. 41.) Share fisherman, third mate, on trip to Alaskan coast, was injured and may recover wages based on share of catch to end of voyage. (Olsen ». Whitney et al. (1901), D. C. N. D. Cal., 109 Fed. 80.) Seaman was injured on the return trip from New Orleans to New York. Held he was entitled to his wages to end of voyage. (The Cortes (1872), D. C. E. D. N. Y., 6 Fed. Case No. 3258.) Seaman was injured on return trip from Darien, Ga., to New York and put ashore at Wilmington. Held he was entitled to his wages to end of voyage. (The Robert C. McQuillen (1899), D. C. D. Conn., 91 Fed. 688.) 34 SETTLEMENT FOR ACCIDENTS TO AMERICAN SEAMEN Provided Hospital Treatment In event the ill or injured seaman is put ashore in a foreign port and placed in a hospital, the cost of hospitalization is paid either by the shipowner, or, if discharged by mutual consent, by the consul. If the seaman is kept aboard the ship until it arrives in a port where there is a United States marine hospital, he is given a “hospital certificate” (a copy of the form is shown below) and placed in the marine hospital, where he receives free treatment. In other ports of the United States he is placed in public hospitals, where the cost is charged to the ship and the seaman is usually transferred to a United States marine hospital as soon as his condition will permit.

REGULATIONS AFFECTING SEAMEN 35 American seamen were given the right to free treatment in the United States marine hospitals under authority of section 4803 of the Revised Statutes, which provides: Src. 4803. * * * Such fund is appropriated for the expenses of the marine-hospital service, and shall be employed, under the direction of the Secretary of the Treasury, for the care and relief of sick and disabled seamen employed in registered, enrolled, and licensed vessels of the United States. This fund was originally raised under authority of legislation providing for hospital dues to be assessed from seamen’s wages. This legislation was repealed by the act of June 26, 1884, chapter 121, section 15 (23 S. 57), as follows: Sec. 15. Sections 4585, 4586, and 4587 of the Revised Statutes, and all other acts and parts of acts providing for the assessment and collection of a hospital tax for seamen are hereby repealed, and the expense of maintaining the marine hospital service shall hereafter be borne by the United States out of the receipts for duties on tonnage provided for by ‘this act; and so much thereof as may be necessary, is hereby appropriated for that purpose. The act of March 3,1875, chapter 156, section 3 (18 S. 485) defines— The term ‘seaman’ wherever employed in legislation relating to the marine hospital service, shall be held to include any person employed on board in the care, preservation, or navigation of any vessel, or in the service, on board, of those engaged in such care, preservation, or navigation. In practice the treatment of patients in public hospitals differs considerably from that afforded seamen by the Public Health Service in the marine hospitals. Customarily if a seamen is placed in a public hospital he would be discharged as soon as able to care for himself and live at an outside residence. In the marine hospitals, conditions permitting, the seaman may remain and receive food and quarters, until he is fit for duty. It should not be understood, however, that a large percentage of seamen patients remain until they are fit for duty. Many of them are discharged sooner with such notations as “Granted a pass and did not return,” “Absent without leave,” ‘Discharged at own request,” which is usually followed by “against advice.” Such discharges may be due to a large extent to the roving nature of most seamen who are probably somewhat bored at the confinement while not going anywhere. The more legitimate discharges are followed by such notations as “Recovered,” “Cured,” “Fit for duty,” “Treatment completed,” “No further hospitalization necessary,” “Transferred” (to another hospital), etc. The United States Public Health Service publishes figures showing the extent of the services rendered seamen by the Public Health Service in the marine hospitals and relief stations. The figures are for seamen becoming ill or being injured on American-flag ships. Table 8, drawn from the 1926 Annual Report of the Public Health Service, shows that American seamen constituted 43.2 per cent of the total number of patients treated and 55.4 per cent of the number treated in the hospitals; that of the total number of deaths occurring in the hospitals 75.9 per cent were seamen; that 66.4 per cent of the total number of days of relief furnished in hospital were given seamen; that 40.7 per cent of the number of patients furnished office treatment were seamen; and that 45.5 per cent of the total number of office treatments were given seamen. 36 SETTLEMENT FOR ACCIDENTS TO AMERICAN SEAMEN TaBLe 8.—American seamen as beneficiaries of United States Public Health Service in marine hospitals [Drawn from U. 8.

The table also shows that more seamen were discharged in each disease group except leprosy and parasitic diseases than all other Patients combined in the respective group; that except for leprosy, Parasitic diseases, and psychiatric diseases, American seamen spent More than half of the total one-man hospital days for each respective disease group; and that excepting diseases of the blood and blood forming organs, leprosy, parasitic and psychiatric diseases, American seamen averaged more days of confinement for each respective complaint than all other beneficiaries combined in each respective disease group. Records of Treatment Unsatisfactory IN THE effort to secure continuous records of seamen’s disabilities a small percentage, chiefly aliens, was found who used assumed Dames in signing articles or upon admittance to the marine hospitals. This was determined by the fact that some very serious injuries could hot be found under the proper name on the records of the hospital to Which the injured man was taken. Such names as “Joseph Johns” Were found to be entered as “John Josephs,” etc., making the tracing of the records difficult in a number of cases. In some instances the agents of the bureau could find no record of treatment at all while 38 SETTLEMENT FOR ACCIDENTS TO AMERICAN SEAMEN in others the names were substantially different but ail other facts concerning the injured man agreed. Company records in an exemplary case showed the seaman as “Reggio” while the hospital records were “Roggas.”” Numerous instances were found where a seaman who had received a slight injury had left the ship with no hospital certificate, and later, although the wound was treated properly on the ship, it had become infected and the seaman had gone to the marine hospital for treatment. Several such cases for which data were obtained resulted in the amputation of a member. Making Claims WHILE the seaman is confined in the hospital generally no claim is presented and no steps are taken by the shipowner or underwriter toward a settlement. There are, on the other hand, a few companies and agencies who make a practice of starting settlement negotiations as soon as an opinion can be obtained from their physican on the possible length of the man’s disability. The seaman, however, is more often notified to call on the claim adjuster as soon as he is able to get around. At that time, if an attorney has not been retained, the seaman presents his claim. If an agreement is reached the claim is paid in cash or by voucher as soon as the proper releases have been executed and the case is considered closed by the shipowner or the underwriter. Such settlements are based usually on the amounts which the seaman is entitled to as maintenance and as wages to the end of the voyage. Often the seaman makes demand for wages during disability with no mention of his right to maintenance. The adjuster in these cases usually computes the amount the seaman should receive as maintenance and wages, and limiting his settlement to that amount proceeds to settle on the basis of “wages during disability” not to exceed the computed figure. Cases were found where the settlements made under these conditions were more than the amount demanded though the usual aim seemed to be to please the injured seaman without payment of further sums. Many settlements are based on very meager information. The claim adjuster may have a master’s report showing that a seaman was injured aboard a ship on a certain date. No claim is presented immediately, but after a period of possibly three months, six months, or a year, the seaman presents himself and asks for a settlement. The adjuster inquires as to the treatment which the seaman obtained after the accident and then makes an effort to verify what the seaman has related. This can sometimes be done and sometimes it can not. For example, it may be that the seaman was burned and a report was made by the master, but no record of his having obtained treatment after leaving the ship could be found, yet he may have displayed the scars resulting from the burn. The adjuster calls in his examining physician and makes a settlement on the basis of the doctor’s opinion of probable disability and the facts shown in the master’s report of the injury. Should there be any possible chance of the seaman’s going to an attorney on the ground that the ship was unseaworthy the settlement may be for a considerable amount. Such action is taken as a preventive measure on the theory that the costs of litigation would be far more than the amount of the settlement personally negotiated with the seaman. Settlements negotiated on questionable grounds are usually termed ‘nuisance’ values. MAKING CLAIMS 39 There is also a class of accidents which results in a known period of disability in which the ship is definitely liable. In these cases the settlement is usually much higher than in a similar case not involving liability. This is, of course, a matter of policy on the part of the shipowner to protect himself against a possible action for damages on the basis of unseaworthiness of the ship. Many cases are entered on the court calendars regardless of the facts as to whether liability exists or not. Usually they are carried up to the point of being ready for trial and then the attorney for the plaintiff, rather than take the case to court, offers a compromise which often results in a settlement by the shipowner on his own terms. In such cases the result is that the final settlement, which may be for approximately the amount first offered by the shipowner, is delayed sometimes for the greater part of a year and sometimes for several years, and from the amount obtained the legal fees of the plaintiff’s attorney have to be deducted. All in all, the seaman who was injured usually gets no more out of the claim than the attorney who was not injured. In claims where there is a bona fide liability on the part of the ship, the settlement is made, if possible, by the shipowner directly with the seaman at the earliest possible opportunity, and usually for a liberal amount to prevent the claim from going into the hands of negligent lawyers for the injured. It is not uncommon in this type of case for the settlement to be made long before the extent of the seaman’s disability can be determined, and before any sort of claim has been presented. For this reason there is an occasional case where the amount of the settlement does not equitably recompense the seaman for the disability sustained. Some cases of this type were found in the course of the study in which the seaman presented further claim even though the usual releases had been signed at the time the original settlement was made, and the claim was reopened. The seaman sometimes refuses the wages due at the time he is put ashore for treatment, probably on the “theory” that the acceptance of wages might jeopardize his chances of getting a settlement for the injury. At any rate, in several cases where wages were refused, the wages due were never collected and the voucher for the wages as it was originally drawn is still held as “unclaimed wages.” In one case this was for the amount of $156.61. (Case 371. ‘‘Personal agreements.”’) Settlements of claims were found to be delayed in many instances because the seaman signed articles for a voyage before the settlement was consummated. The lapse of time from the injury to the settlement in these cases was often more than a year. As soon as an agreement is reached between the claim adjuster and an injured man the proper releases are executed and the seaman is paid either in cash or by voucher. The case is considered settled by the shipowner or underwriter as soon as the releases are executed. Two forms used in closing cases, by settlement for injury, are shown below.

He may be paid wages through the period of his disability not exceeding the remainder of the voyage during which the injury was received. 2. He is customarily paid a sum as maintenance at a specified rate per day or week through that portion of his disability during which he may be forced to pay for food and quarters, i. e., during outpatient hospital treatment and convalescence. 3. If he is entitled to an additional amount as indemnity, it is secured either through agreement with the claim adjuster of the shipping company or of the underwriter, or by direct litigation. Generally there is a difference in the policy of steamship companies in settling the claims of their licensed officers as compared with the unlicensed personnel. Some continue the wages of the officer throughout his period of disability even though he is entitled to wages only to the end of the voyage. Others pay their officers wages only to the end of the voyage and pay in addition a liberal amount as indemnity, while still others give no special consideration, except that the rate paid for maintenance is usually somewhat higher than for the unlicensed seamen. In many cases an attorney negotiates the settlement for the seaman even though it is made by agreement and is never taken into the courts. An interesting sidelicht on this phase of settlements is a practice which the bureau found operating in the following manner: The arrival of an injured seaman in the port of New York, especially if he stops at the places frequented by seamen instead of the hospital, kindles a spontaneous desire on the part of his friends, and seamen in general, to help him—usually in the way of free advice. A novel method of capitalizing on this practice has been developed by a few seamen who have been injured and are experienced in the methods used by certain agencies in making settlements. One of these seamen makes a bargain with the injured man to show him for a stipulated fee how he can realize a cash settlement immediately. The injured man is then escorted to the proper claim adjuster for the purpose of making an agreement and getting a settlement. If it is negotiated, the “adviser” gets his fee from the seaman and the case is a closed incident. No mformation could be obtained on the extent of this practice nor the amounts of the fees charged except that the fee is usually a nominal sum. The business of soliciting clientele among injured seamen has become well established not only among the so-called “sea lawyers” but also among a certain class of admiralty lawyers who have built up an organization by means of which they get injured seamen to sign their retainer contract in almost any part of the world. This practice is carried on usually through “runners,” seamen and others, who have at all times a supply of blank retainers. In case of accident they make it their business immediately to approach the injured with promises of prompt action and a lucrative settlement. The runner in turn usually receives a fee from the attorney for each retainer contract which he may secure. One example of the methods used may be cited in connection with case No. 106 (in the ‘Personal-screement” tabulation). In 42 SETTLEMENT FOR ACCIDENTS TO AMERICAN SEAMEN this instance the widow was approached by the runner of a New York attorney and offered $1,000 in advance if she would give the attorney in question “powers of attorney’ in the case. It is not uncommon for an injured seaman remaining aboard ship to be approached in several ports by these runners, and neither is it uncommon for a seaman to sign a number of these retainer contracts. In one instance the seaman had retained three attorneys, each in a different port, to look after his interests. The attorney last retained negotiated a settlement for the seaman under a contract to receive a fee of 50 per cent contingent upon any recovery. Not long after the settlement was completed it was found that each of the first two attorneys had also secured a signed contract entitling each to 50 per cent of any settlement, also contingent on recovery. In another case (No. 177, tabulated under ‘“Compromised actions’) the injured seaman was treated on the west coast by a physician who in turn depended upon the attorney retained in the same locality by the sea-~ man for his medical fees, amounting to between two and three hundred dollars. The seaman, however, proceeded to the east coast, where he retained another attorney. The last-mentioned attorney completed the settlement for the seaman and neither the physician nor the attorney on the west coast received any remuneration. Many methods of obtaining information or gaining access to the confidence of the injured seaman are resorted to by attorneys and their runners. Several cases were investigated, one where the injured seaman was taken to a hospital. The seaman was of Spanish nationality. A visitor who represented himself as a cousin (but obviously not of the same nationality) was later found to be a runner for certain attorneys. In another instance correspondence was shown by relatives of the injured seaman in which an attorney had appealed to June is be informed concerning the injured man in his interest and behalf. Information which would be held vitally pertinent to an unprejudiced settlement, especially in legal cases, is usually available to the plaintiff’s attorney while considerable “red tape” has to be resorted to by the shipowner to obtain the same information. The record of treatment given by the Public Health Service in the marine hospitals, for instance, is extremely important in many cases. Present regulations, however, prohibit the use of such records without the signed approval of the seaman. The shipowner has to make application for this information on a form supplied by the Surgeon General’s Office. If the seaman signs the form the record is then made available to the shipowner, but in legal cases the seaman is often advised by his attorney not to give any information. In such cases the hospital record becomes available only after an order of a court in the proper jurisdiction has been secured. On the whole, information concerning injured seamen is probably more available to to attorneys specializing in such cases and less available to the employer than similar information in any other industry. Certain hospital authorities informed the representatives of the bureau in substance that “we have suspected some employees at times of aiding runners by notifying them of the arrival of injured seamen, but because of the ease of stepping into a telephone booth and calling such people without proof of the act, such suspicions could not be proved as fact.” SETTLEMENT FOR ACCIDENTS TO AMERICAN SEAMEN 43 Methods of Underwriting SOME shipping companies underwrite their own claims and are known as ‘‘self-insurers.”” Others insure with protective and indemnity companies. Some companies are managing operators for Shipping Board vessels in addition to operating ships of their own. Claims arising from the operation of the Shipping Board ships, whether the claim is for property damage, personal injury, cargo shortage, etc., become the business of the United States Protective and Indemnity Agency (Inc.). This organization was incorporated for the purpose of settling all claims arising against vessels owned by the United States Shipping Board. The premium charged for such coverage is a flat rate per gross ton of each ship. The claims arising from the operation of ships owned by the managing operator are sometimes only partially covered by their underwriter } that is, such companies have an agreement with the underwriter known as a “deductible franchise.” As applied to injury claims the franchise operates in the following manner. A minimum amount is specified in the franchise, for instance, $500 and all claims for amounts under this sum are settled by the shipowner and such claims do not become the business of the underwriter. For claims in excess of the stated figure, the excess is paid by the underwriter. The premium for such coverage is inverse to the amount of the franchise; that is, the premium for coverage in a $50 deductible franchise would be somewhat higher than in the example given above. : A unique method of covering injury claims is employed in one instance. An insurance company has issued an accident policy to which is attached what is termed a “Voluntary compensation indorsement.” This indorsement obligates the insurance company to pay injured employees of the insured an award in the amount that would be payable were the accident legally covered by the New York State compensation law. The indorsement is shown below. Voluntary compensation indorsement (New York) In consideration of the premium provided for in the policy, the company hereby agrees to voluntarily pay to employees injured in the course of their employment and covered by said policy, or to their dependents in fatal cases, such amounts as. would be payable according to the New York workmen’s compensation law, including the cost of such medical, surgical, and hospital treatment as is provided in said law, even though such persons may not have a legal claim under said compensation law against this employer; provided, however, that such payment shall be made only on condition that the employee or dependents shall execute a full legal release of all claims against this employer as may be required by the company and shall in addition execute an assignment to the company of any right of action which may exist in behalf of the injured employee or any person claiming by, through, or under him against any person, firm, corporation, or estate other than this employer which is or may be legally liable for such injury. If the company proceeds upon such assignment and recovers and collects a judgment against the party at fault in excess of the amount of compensation voluntarily paid and incurred under this policy, the company shall first take the necessary expenses of the procedure and shall pay any remaining balance of such excess so obtained to the person or persons executing the assignment. The company shall have full power and discretion to proceed against the party at fault or to settle with such party upon such terms as may fem Ausiello to the company, either without litigation or during the pendency ereof. If the injured employee or any person claiming by, through or under him shall refuse to accept the voluntary compensation payments offered under the provisions of the preceding paragraph, then the company shall be permitted at 44 SETTLEMENT FOR ACCIDENTS TO AMERICAN SEAMEN any time in its discretion to withdraw such proposal to pay compensation without notice, under which circumstances the company will be no longer bound by the undertakings expressed in the preceding paragraph. If thereafter any claim, suit or demand is made upon this employer for damages, for such injuries, the obligations of the company as expressed in paragraph 1 (B) of the policy, as well as all parts of the policy having reference thereto, shall be available to this employer and shall be and remain the obligations of the company as fully and completely as if this indorsement had not been written. This indorsement is effective as of policy date. Nothing herein contained shall waive, vary, alter or extend any provision or condition of the undermentioned policy other than as above stated. There remains considerable room for conjecture as to how a compensation law for seamen would effect the premium rates for injury insurance. Compensation, if the same as the longshoremen’s, would limit settlements for injury and death to a maximum of $7,500, all of which is payable to the beneficiary. Litigation under present methods occasionally results in verdicts for the seamen of $25,000 or $30,000 and cases are on record as high as $50,000. Out of all court verdicts however must come attorneys’ fees and other expenses, possibly reducing the net compensation to one half of the verdict, APPENDIXES APPENDIX A.—MARITIME LAW Development and Adoption THE maritime law of the United States at present is a composite of court decisions of varying degrees of modernness, and codes and compilations of law running back to the middle ages and beyond. No recent codification of this law has been attempted; and while it is assumed to be of general acceptance by the nations of the world interested in maritime affairs there are considerable local variations. Like international law, maritime law has effect in any country only in so far as it is accepted and enforced therein. Without definition, the Constitution, Article ITI, declares that the Federal judicial power extends “to all cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction.” The only implication can be that a general understanding of the meaning of such language was assumed. What it then signified is of less importance than what its present meaning is, as indicated by the decisions of courts and modified in measure by congressional enactment. A brief summary of its provisions and of the acts affecting the older constructions is submitted as of interest in a study of accidents and recoveries therefor, and especially in view of the great difference between admiralty and the widely prevalent idea of compensation. Status and Rights of Seamen Suffering Injury Distinctive Features Among the several factors that operate to give to seamen a legal and an economic status that differs from that of employed persons generally, two may be noted as especially influential: First, the absoute dependence of the sailor upon his master for the necessaries of life—food, lodging, care in case of sickness or accident, etc., on account of his isolation from other recourse; and second, a like dependence of the master upon the continued and constantly available services of his employee until the completion of his undertaking. These facts alone are sufficient to go far toward explaining the peculiarities evident on the one hand in the rules of Liability for care and cure, and the application of the fellow-service rule, and the doctrines of assumed risks and contributory negligence, all of which are differently developed in admiralty from the more familiar forms of the common law; and on the other hand, in the methods of enforcing the performance of contracts (e. g., by fines, imprisonment, or flog-105676°—28——4 4k 46 SETTLEMENT FOR ACCIDENTS TO AMERICAN SEAMEN ging) which, although now modified by statute, led the Supreme Court of the United States so recently as 1897 to say of seamen (one justice dissenting): ‘It can not be open to doubt that the provision [of the United States Constitution] against involuntary servitude was never intended to apply to their contracts.” (Robertson o. Baldwin (1897), 165 U. S. 275, 17 Sup. Ct. 326.) Another element in the situation is the persistence from very early times of rules and customs that grew up under conditions and rested on theories that long since lost influence in every other field of employment, but whose dominance in this field has only comparatively recently been modified and is yet far from complete abrogation. Summary of Admiralty Rights Passing by the incidents of wage payments, penalties for desertion, the methods of securing employment, the use of the log book, ete., all of which are distinctly maritime in form and effect, the rights of recovery for personal injury to seamen may be concisely stated in the words of the Supreme Court: 1. That the vessel and her owners are liable, in case a seaman falls sick, or is wounded, in the service of the ship, to the extent of his maintenance and cure, and to his wages, at least so long as the voyage is continued. 2, That the vessel and her owner are, both by English and American law, liable to an indemnity for injuries received by seamen in consequence of the unseaworthiness of the ship, or a failure to supply and keep in order the proper appliances appurtenant to the ship. 3. That all the members of the crew, except perhaps the master, are as between themselves, fellow servants, and hence seamen can not recover for injuries sustained through the negligence of another member of the crew beyond the expense of their maintenance and cure. 4. That the seaman is not allowed to recover an indemnity for the negligence of the master, or any member of the crew, but is entitled to maintenance and cure, whether the injuries were received by negligence or accident. (The Osceola (1903), 189 U. S. 158, 175, 23 Sup. Ct. 483.) No right to recover in fatal cases existed under the maritime law. (The Harrisburg (1886), 119 U. S. 199, 7 Sup. Ct. 140.) Emplovers’ Defenses While the defense of fellow service is seen to be very broad, that of contributory negligence is modified in admiralty so as to permit a recovery in the measure of the excess of the employer's negligence over that of the injured employee. This defense may even be barred for the same reasons that operate in connection with that of assumption of risks, as set forth below. (Eldridge ». Atlas S. S. Co. (1892), 134 N. Y. 187, 32 N. E. 66.) , As to the third defense so frequently referred to in common-law activities—that of the assumption of risks—it has been broadly said to be “a long and well-established principle that a seaman does not assume the risks of his employment. The rule is grounded in sound public policy.” (Dopico ». New York Marine Co. (1926), 217 N. Y. Supp. 295.) “If vessel owners sail their ships with improper appli ances, they must assume the risks; not the seamen.” (Ib.) And this is true even though the seaman knew of the imperfection when sailing. (Cricket S. S. Co. ». Parry (C. C. A. 1920), 263 Fed. 523.) APPENDIX A.—MARITIME LAW 47 The rule is peculiarly applicable in connection with obedience to orders, though not restricted thereto. As said in Lafourche Packet Co. v. Henderson (1899), 94 Fed. 871, 36 C. C. A. 519: A seaman aboard ship is bound to perform such services as may be required of him in the line of his employment. He can not hold back and refuse prompt obedience because he may deem the appliances faulty or unsafe. Masters, of ships exercise large powers, and they may legally compel observance to orders. A seaman necessarily surrenders much of his personal liberty and freedom of action, and he is never at liberty, like the landsman, to quit or make much objection to the circumstances surrounding the work commanded. And in Panama R. R. Co. ». Johnson (C. C. A. 1923; 289 Fed. 964), it was held that the Jones Act, incorporating the Federal liability law as to railway service in the seamen’s act of 1915 by the amendment of 1920 (see p. 51), did not thereby fix the rule as to the assumption of risks by seamen, the court saying that, in view of the obligations devolving upon seamen to carry out orders, they can not be said to assume the risks, which must be a voluntary act to operate as a defense. However, the rule is not absolute, as appears from a finding that a fireman on a seagoing vessel assumes as an ordinary risk of his employment that of an unsecured ladder being thrown down by the pitching of the boat during a storm (Balleng ». S. S. Co. (1899), 58 N.Y. Supp. 1074, 28 Misc. 238); and that a deck hand on a tugboat assumes the risk of slipping on the deck and being caught in the towline (Direct Nav. Co. ». Anderson (1902), 69 S. W. 174, 29 Tex. Civ. App. 65). Maintenance, Cure, and Wages It is evident from a perusal of the statement in the Osceola case that there is, under the maritime law, a broad general right to maintenance, cure, and wages, but that this right is not enlarged by reason of op negligence of fellow servants. including the master of the vessel. | The question of indemnity, or compensatory damages, arises only when unseaworthiness or a failure to supply and maintain proper equipment is proved. The term of the payment of wages is said to be “at least as long as the voyage is continued.” No fixed rule seems to exist as to the exact duration of wage continuance, or of the period during which maintenance and cure must continue. ‘‘Cure” is not nsec in the absolute sense, as it may often be impossible, but only as meaning proper care in view of the circumstances. (The Mars (1907), 149 Fed. 729, 79 C. C. A. 435.) What the standard is “has been the subject of discussion in several cases; but each depends so largely upon its own particular facts that the rule laid down in one may afford little or no aid in determining another.” (The Iroquois (1904), 194 U. S. 240, 24 Sup. Ct. 640.) , An indemnity was held recoverable where the treatment given an Injured man was evidently the best the ship afforded, but where it was held that the master was negligent in failing to put into harbor at an intermediate port, even at some expense and delay, in order to secure better surgical treatment. (Ib.) That negligence in the attempted treatment, or refusal to treat, entails liability is obvious. And even though the master believes that the injured man was shamming and refuses him treatment or excuse from duty on that 418 SETTLEMENT FOR ACCIDENTS TO AMERICAN SEAMEN ground, there is still liability. (Morris ». United States (C. C. A. 1924; 3 Fed. (2d) 588.) The compulsion to perform work while the injured man ‘was entitled to be maintained in rest for cure’ was held to furnish a basis for a compensatory recovery representing wages for the period. Naturally, the term of treatment reasonably required to effect a cure may extend beyond the term of the contract of employment, and it has been held that such continuance is a right. (The Bouker, No. 2 (1917), 241 Fed. 831, 154 C. C. A. 533; Great Lakes S. S. Co. ». Geiger, C. C. A. 1919; 261 Fed. 275.) But such extension does not carry with it a right to continuance of wages, and a judgment to the contrary was reversed by the court of appeals in the Geiger case, supra, though the judgment for maintenance was held proper. Unseaworthiness The term seaworthiness, the lack of which affords a basis for indemnity, is defined as “the sufficiency of the vessel in materials, construction, equipment, officers, men and outfit, for the trade or service in which it is employed.” (Bouvier: Rawle’s 3d Revision.) A few cases under this head may be noted by way of illustration. In one of these (Carlisle Packing Co. ». Sandanger (1922), 259 U. S. 247, 42 Sup. Ct. 475), a seaman undertook to start a fire “according to the prevailing custom in those waters,” using firewood upon which he had poured coal oil, as he supposed. In fact, he had used a can so marked, but it contained gasoline; an explosion occurred and the man was badly burned. He jumped into the water to extinguish his flaming clothes, but delayed in an effort to find a life preserver. None was to be found, and the court ruled that it would have been a proper instruction to say that the vessel was unseaworthy by reason of the gasoline found in a can marked “coal oil”’; also that it was unseaworthy if no life preservers were on board when the boat left the docks. For both these reasons the injured man “was entitled fo recover compensatory damages.” A second aspect of unseaworthiness entailing indemnity was a case in which, during a storm, an engine cover fell upon a seaman because of insufficient fastening (The Drumelton (1907), 158 Fed. 454); likewise where a skid of known defectiveness was kept in use, causing a barre] being moved thereon to fall upon and seriously injure a seaman. (Lafourche Packet Co. ». Henderson (1899), 94 Fed. 871.) A third phase appeared in a case in which the vessel employed a mate “with a reputation for ferocity as wide as the seven seas.” He was physically powerful and so maltreated the seamen under him that various ones suffered serious and permanent injuries. The boat was held liable on the assumption of the master’s knowledge of the assaults, a denial of which would be “simply to trifle with the court.” Since seaworthiness implies that a boat be properly manned, the condition was found wanting in this case, with corresponding liability. (The Rolph (1923), 293 Fed. 269.) It will be observed that in none of these cases was there a circumstance affecting the staunchness of the vessel or its fitness for the general purposes of navigation, to which the rule would obviously apply. In a fourth case, unseaworthiness was charged where the master ordered a stick intended for one use to be applied to another use for APPENDIX A.—MARITIME LAW 49 which it was not fitted, injury resulting. The injured man was denied full indemnity, however, inasmuch as the fault lay, not in the equipment supplied, but in the “improvident order of the master, for which the owners are not liable.” (John A. Roebling’s Sons Co. ». Erickson (C. C. A. 1919), 261 Fed. 986.) Joinder of Claims A point of interest in this case was a requirement by the trial court that the seaman elect whether to “stand upon his right to wages and expenses of maintenance and cure to the end of the voyage,” or to sue for indemnity. The court of appeals ruled that this was error, since he was entitled to the former “under any and all circumstances, except his own willful misconduct. If he recover indemnity, it will be included; but if he claim indemnity, and fail to get it, he is not for that reason to be deprived of his right to wages and expenses of cure and maintenance to the end of the voyage.” However, since this action was for an indemnity that was denied, with no other claim before the court. a new trial must be had. Procedure Before taking up the statutory changes made by Congress in the rights of recovery, certain differences between the common law and admiralty may be referred to as regards the general subject of actions by an injured employee. Thus, under the maritime law two forms of procedure are possible, one against an individual, as the master, captain, or owners of a vessel, known as an action in personam, and another known as a proceeding in rem, in which the action is brought against a vessel, its cargo, or other such matter as defendant, not naming an individual, and accompanied by a provisional seizure of the article or object against which the action is brought, a form of attachment as by lien being an essential factor. The Federal Constitution provides that the judicial power of the United States shall extend “to all cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction,’ assuming a common understanding of the meaning of such language. The desirability of a certain measure of flexibility in regard to recovery of damages for maritime torts was indicated, however, in the provision found in the Judicial Code granting to the courts of the United States jurisdiction over “‘all civil causes of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction,” by a provision “saving to suitors in all cases the right of a common-law remedy where the common law is competent to give it.”” (Judiciary act of 1789, R. S. sec. 563.) This grant relates to “the right of a common-law remedy,” and this may be prosecuted in the State courts; however, it does not confer common-law rights, but only permits the common-law courts to enforce maritime rights by common-law procedure, and therefore gives them no power to proceed except against individual defendants, by actions in personam. (Chelentis ». Luckenbach S. S. Co. (1918), 247 U. 8S. 372, 38 Sup. Ct. 501.) Proceedings in rem can be brought only in admiralty courts. (The Moses Taylor (1867), 71 U. S. (4 Wall.) 411, 431: The Glide (1897), 167 U. S. 606. 17 Sup. Ct. 930.) 50 SETTLEMENT FOR ACCIDENTS TO AMERICAN SEAMEN Modification by Statute The grant given by the Judicial Code enacted in 1789 was the sole provision on the subject until 1915, when the seamen’s act of that year (Ch. 153; 38 Stat. 1164, sec. 20) provided: That in any suit to recover damages for any injury sustained on board vessel or in its service seamen having command shall not be held to be fellow servants with those under their authority. Within the year of this enactment a fireman was injured on the high seas and charged ‘negligence and an improvident order of a superior officer.” A common-law action was instituted in the supreme court, New York County, N. Y., demanding full indemnity for injuries sustained. The case was removed to a Federal court on grounds of diversity of citizenship. There was no charge of unsea~ worthiness, which would base an action for damages under the maritime law; nor was there any claim made for maintenance, cure or wages. In other words, maritime rights were remitted and a common law recovery sought. Both the trial and appeals courts denied such recovery, and the case came to the Supreme Court, where the judgment below was affirmed. (Chelentis». Luckenbach S. S. Co., supra.) It was pointed out that “the distinction between rights and remedies is fundamental,” and that while the saving clause of the Judicial Code permitted any “right sanctioned by the maritime law’ to be enforced “through any appropriate remedy recognized at common law,” the act of 1915 did not indicate “an intention to give the complaining party an election” between common law and maritime rights. “Under the circumstances here presented, without regard to the court where he might ask relief, petitioner’s rights were those recognized by the law of the sea.” The provision against fellow service as between those in command and those under their authority should be given ‘‘full effect whenever the relationship between such parties becomes important. But the maritime law imposes upon a shipowner liability to a member of the crew injured at sea by reason of another member’s negligence (i. e., for maintenance, wages, and cure) without regard to their relationship; it was of no consequence therefore to petitioner whether or not the alleged negligent order came from a fellow servant: the statute is irrelevant ’ Merchant Marine Act Passing over two attempts to amend the Judicial Code so as to permit the application of State compensation laws to localized maritime employments, both of which were held to violate the provisions of the Constitution as to fundamental requirements of uniformity in maritime law, an effective change is found in a provision of the merchant marine act of 1920 (ch. 250; 41 Stat. 1007, sec. 33), amending the section of the seamen’s act of 1915 above considered. This amended section applies to “any seamen who shall suffer personal injury in the course of his employment,” and gives him the option of suing “for damages at law, with the right of trial by jury, and in such action all statutes of the United States modifying or extending the common law right or remedy in cases of personal injury to railway employees shall apply.” Injuries causing death are included. APPENDIX A.—MARITIME LAW 51 This is obviously a modification of the maritime law, since it gives the ‘‘common-law right” as well as remedy, the measure being the provisions of the Federal statute of 1908-1910, relating to employees on railways. Naturally, such a departure from the old rule of nonliability (beyond the expense of maintenance and cure) for injuries due to negligence of the members of the crew, including the officers, as was involved in this amendment by a substitution of the doctrine of indemnity or compensatory damages gave rise to objections as to its constitutionality. In what appears to be the first case reaching the Supreme Court involving an application of the liability principle of this act (Panama R. R. Co. v. Johnson (1924), 264 U. S. 375, 44 Sup. Ct. 391), the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit had maintained the validity of the law (289 Fed. 964) in this case, which involved an injury suffered at sea by.a seaman while ascending a ladder from the deck to the bridge. There was allegation of negligence in regard to the adequacy of the ladder, for which the employer was held responsible, and also the negligence of the officers of the vessel in permitting an unsafe arrangement with regard to it, and in ordering him to go up the ladder. The charge of unseaworthiness was not stressed, but the action was brought on charges of negligence—a common-law basis—but modified by statute. It was held by the Supreme Court that such a modification of the law by act of Congress was within its power, and that no reason appeared why it might not bring maritime rules applicable to injuries to employees ‘‘into relative conformity to the common-law rules or some modification of the latter, if the change be country-wide and uniform in operation.” The law was held not to withdraw “injuries to seamen from the reach and operation of the maritime law, nor to enable the seaman to do 80.” An election between alternatives is granted, making use of the maritime law as modified, if desired, or pursuing maritime remedy according to the old rule. In contrast with the act of 1915, the court held that the amendment of 1920 disclosed a purpose to modify existing law, if the injured person so elected, by extending to maritime cases the common-law right and remedy enjoyed under Federal statutes by railway employees. This provision operates only in case of proceedings in personam, as on the common-law side, when there may be a trial by jury; maritime law is not dispensed with, and if the action is in admiralty the issues would still be tried by the court under the new rules embodied in the act. “So construed, the statute does not encroach on the admiralty jurisdiction intended by the Constitution, but permits that jurisdiction to be invoked and exercised as it has been from the beginning.” The contention that the act is discriminatory and arbitrary in permitting seamen to elect which form of action to employ, while failing to grant such rights to the employer, was rejected. To permit a choice between alternatives was held not to be a denial of due process of law; and “‘in the nature of things, the right to choose can not be accorded to both parties, and, if accorded to either, should rest with the one seeking redress rather than the one from whom redress is sought.” 52 SETTLEMENT FOR ACCIDENTS TO AMERICAN SEAMEN Limited Liability As already stated, the amendment of 1920 gives a right of action in case of death, but it does not affect the shipowner’s right to plead limited liability as that right existed in admiralty prior to the amendment. The principle is expressed by the Supreme Court in The China (1868), 74 U. S. (7 Wall.) 53, as follows: Originally, the primary liability was upon the vessel, and that of the owner was not personal, but merely incidental to his ownership, from which he was discharged either by the loss of the vessel or by abandoning it to his creditors. Thus, where his administratrix sued under the act of 1920 to recover for the death of the captain of a tug which sank because of the explosion of its boiler, the defendant company pleaded limited liability. The district court denied the plea on the ground of a repeal of this rule so far as applicable to such a case. (In re East River Co., 294 Fed. 686.) The case reached the Supreme Court on this question, where it was held that the owner was entitled to an injunction restraining further prosecution of the suit. (Same case (1924), 266 U. S. 355, 45 Sup. Ct. 114.) Assuming the complete loss of the sunken tug, the basis of recovery was nil, the court saying that while the act of 1920 ‘‘determines the extent of the seaman’s substantive rights and the measure of damages,” the source from which the damages could be recovered, in those exceptional cases in which the surrender of the ship is made, is fixed by the earlier law. What this signifies is more fully set forth in an earlier case (The City of Norwich (1886), 118 U. S. 468, 16 Sup. Ct. 1150), where it was held that the value of a surrendered ship and the freight earned, as a basis of recovery of damages, was the value at the termination of the voyage; and if she was lost at sea that would be the termination for the purpose of fixing the owner’s liability, her value as a sunken vessel being the limit. A subsequent raising and repair, giving an increased value, would not affect this limit; nor would any msurance be construed as a part of the owner’s interest or enter into the amount for which he would be liable. Other provisions of law limit an owner's liability to the interest be has in the vessel attached and provide for the pro rata adjustment of losses where they exceed such value. This limitation operates where the employment relation is in effect, but where the death of a seaman was caused by a collision between two vessels, both being at fault, even though as against his own vessel recovery would be subject to limitation as above indicated, no restrictions would exist in so far as the other vessel was concerned. (The Hamilton (1907), 207 U. S. 398, 28 Sup. Ct. 133.) It may be noted in passing that none of these limitations affects the right to compensation secured by the longshoremen and harbor workers’ compensation act of March 4, 1927. (Public Act No. 803.) This act, by its terms, does not apply to “a master or member of a crew of any vessel,” but does apply quite generally to other maritime employments. * Death Act * of 1920 A second statute that modifies the maritime law was also enacted im 1920 (Ch. 111, 41 Stat. 537), providing recovery in case of death “by wrongful act, neglect, or default occurring on the high seas beyond a marine league from the shore of any State.” This law is APPENDIX A.—MARITIME LAW, 53 not applicable to the Great Lakes or other inland waters, and, by its terms, does not in any wise affect any State statute regulating rights of action or remedies for death. The action provided for is “a suit for damages in the district courts of the United States, in admiralty.” The principle of comparative negligence embodied in maritime law is retained. This statute, like the Lord Campbell’s or “death acts’ of the States generally, is not essentially an employee’s act, but is available for seamen on the same terms as other persons exposed to maritime hazards, thus curing the defect of nonrecovery for death which admiralty shared with the common law until corrected by statute. The act provides that, if a person die of the injury during the pendency of a suit for damages, the personal representative may proceed with the suit. It has been held, however, that where a seaman was injured on the high seas and carried ashore, dying before action is begun, no survival of right exists under this act, as the provision of law is for a survival of action and not for a survival of a cause of action, a court of admiralty having no jurisdiction over a cause arising on land. (Pickles ». F. Leyland & Co. (1925), 10 Fed. (2d) 371.) Such a construction is out of harmony with the reasoning in Van Doren ». Pa. R. (C. C. A. 1899, 93 Fed. 260), where it was said: “The fact of death is not the tort, but its consequence’’; while in an action under the Jones Act (1920; ch. 250, sec. 33), it was said that the fact of a death on land from an injury on board ship did not affect the right of relief accorded his personal representative. (Luckenbach S. S. Co. ». Campbell (C. C. A. 1925), 8 Fed. (2d) 223.) And independently of both statutes, jurisdiction was maintained in a similar case, the court saying that “it is well settled by the weight of modern authority that the place of the injury is the test of the jurisdiction. (Hamburg-Amerikanische P. A. G.v. Gye (C. C. A. 1913), 207 Fed. 247.) (See also the Greenwald case below.) State Laws Prior to the enactment of the death statute, recourse could be had to State laws giving damages if a death occurred on waters under the jurisdiction of the State, but subject to the terms of such State laws in respect to limitations, contributory negligence, etc., although differing in these regards from the practice in admiralty. (Western Fuel Co. ». Garcia (1921), 257 U. S. 233, 42 Sup. Ct. 89; The A. W. Thompson (1889), 39 Fed. 115; O’Brien ». Luckenbach S. S. Co. (C. C. A. 1923), 293 Fed. 170.) Thus the Supreme Court found it necessary to reverse a judgment in favor of the administrator of a seaman killed in San Francisco Harbor, the case being heard under the death act of California. The district court had held that the limitation of one year therein prescribed, while binding on State courts, was not binding in a proceeding in admiralty, a finding that the Supreme Court rejected. (Garcia case.) A State statute (or to be exact, one of the District of Columbia) was held to be applicable to a case of death in 1919, chargeable to the neglect of the owner of a ship and its agents in respect to the supply of proper food. Though the cause of death was illness occasioned by food supplied on the vessel, and the death took place in Africa, in a country governed by Great Britain, the liability was held to be fixed by the law of the flag of the vessel on board which b4 SETTLEMENT FOR ACCIDENTS TO AMERICAN SEAMEN the injury was suffered, and which was owned in the District of Columbia. Recovery was therefore allowed under the death act of that jurisdiction. (United States Shipping Board E. F. Corp. ». Greenwald (C. C. A. 1927), 16 Fed. (2d) 948.) Foreign Seamen Section 33 of the Jones (merchant marine) act of 1920 is held to apply to employees of foreign corporations doing business in the United States (Stewart ». Pacific Steam Nav. Co. (1924), 3 Fed. (2d) 329; and to injuries to seamen on foreign vessels injured while in an American port, The Apurimac (1925), 7 Fed. (2d) 741); for while “the jurisdiction and laws of a nation accompany her ships not only over the high seas, but into ports and harbors, or wheresoever else they may water borne” (United States v. Rodgers (1893), 150 U. S. 249, 265, 14 Sup. Ct. 109), “in the present state of international intercourse and commerce, all persons in time of peace have the right to resort to the tribunals of the nation where they may happen to be, for the protection of their rights.” (Benedict Adm. 1925, sec. 82.) For “where a foreign merchant vessel comes into our ports, like a foreign citizen coming into our territory, it subjects itself to the jurisdiction of this country.” (Patterson ». Bark Eudora (1903), 190 U. S. 169, 23 Sup. Ct. 821) Summary The early developments of maritime law that controlled recovery for injury to seamen up to the opening of the present decade have been largely modified by the enactment of statutes that affect cases in which the rule of fellow service was formerly excluded. Negligence of the master or other member of the crew is basis for an action for damages, while improper or defective equipment not only give ground for an action in admiralty as for unseaworthiness, but would also base a suit in the forms of the common law in line with the terms of the Federsl statute governing railroad employees. No repeal is made by any law of the provision relative to maintenance, cure, and the payment of wages to the end of the voyage; and in case of death, suit may be brought under the railroad act, the death act of 1920, or, locality permitting, under State laws. , No redress beyond the maritime allowance of maintenance, etc. is available in any case in the absence of proved negligence or wrongful act, established before the court alone in admiralty proceedings, or by a jury trial in an action at common law. State courts have jurisdiction concurrently with the Federal courts, except as to actions under the death act of 1920, where proceedings can be initiated only in the United States district courts. In the absence of treaty provisions to the contrary, the laws of the United States may be availed of by foreign seamen in American waters seeking redress in courts of the United States. SETTLEMENT FOR ACCIDENTS TO AMERICAN SEAMEN 55 APPENDIX B.——-GENERAL TABLE The general table shows in detail for each accident case covered the occupation, age, wage rate, the nature of the injury, the number of days of disability, the number of days of treatment and convalescence, the number of days during which the seaman was entitled to wages and the amount of wages to which he was entitled under the principles of maritime law, the amounts actually paid as wages, maintenance, or other settlement, and the estimated total amount that would have been paid under the adaptation of the longshoremen’s act, with the number of days for which compensation was computed. The cases are grouped by method of settlement as follows: 1. Cases settled by agreement between the seaman and the claim adjuster of the shipping company or the underwriter, also including a small number of cases which were referred to the United States Compensation Commission for adjudication. 2. Cases in which the injured seamen made no claim but were entitled to some money settlement. 3. Cases in which the seaman retained an attorney to look after his interests, the attorney having settled the case by agreement with the claim adjuster of the shipping company or the underwriter. 4. Cases in which legal action was commenced and settlement reached by compromise before or during trial. 5. Cases in which legal action was taken and the case prosecuted to judgment. Methods Used in Tabulation Occupation.—The occupation as shown in the tabulations of this report is the regular occupation at which the injured seaman was employed and does not necessarily mean the particular occupation at which he was working at the time of the accident. For instance, data are reported for several accidents which occurred while the seaman was returning to the United States as a work-a-way. In such cases the seaman is usually bound to do duty at a very low rate—often at $0.01 per month. The occupation shown in such cases is the customary occupation of the seaman. Wage rate per month.—The wage rate per month as shown in the tabulation, except work-a-ways and those noted otherwise, is the rate per month at which the seaman was signed on articles or performing service under contract of hiring at the time of his injury. In computing the compensation for disability the bureau has added to the rate shown an allowance of $30 per month for food and $15 per month for quarters in each case where the money rate did not include such allowances. Part of body injured. —If the accident caused injury to more than one part of the body, the entry has been made for each part injured with respect to the nature of injury of the different parts affected. See “Nature of injury” below. Nature of injury.—Injuries affecting various parts of the body show the nature of the injury entered respectively with the part of the body to which it applies. For instance, “Second degree burns of the face and comminuted fracture of the right arm’ is entered under the above heading in the tabulations as “Burns: fracture,” 56 ~~ SETTLEMENT FOR ACCIDENTS TO AMERICAN SEAMEN and under “Part of body” as “Face; right arm,” inasmuch as the degree or extent is indicated by the length of the ensuing disability. Disability —Disability as shown in the tabulations of this report is the time during which the injured man was unable to render any service in his regular occupation, or during which he rendered service in another occupation at a lower wage because of incapacity to work at his regular occupation. Many seamen who are injured continue to render only partial service through the remainder of the voyage for which they are signed and at the same time draw full wages for the partial service. Unless the seaman was unable to render any service in such cases while wages were continued the bureau has not considered any disability during the voyage. If an injured man recovers to a degree which enables him to work at another occupation, but not at his own occupation, the bureau has considered the period at the other occupation as partial disability, provided the wages earned in the second occupation were less than he would have earned in his regular occupation. Compensation for such partial disability was computed on the basis of two-thirds of the difference between the injured seaman’s weekly wage before the injury and the weekly wage at the second occupation, during the continuance of his employment in the second occupation. Treatment.—Treatment on ship is the number of days that a sea~ man was aboard a ship after becoming unable to render service. It includes the days he continued aboard the ship on which he was injured and the days, if any, aboard another ship while being brought ashore or while being returned to the port of shipment. In-patient treatment is the period of confinement on land during which the seaman was furnished subsistence, either by shipowner, marine hospital service or the consular service. Out-patient treatment is the total number of days during the seaman’s disability that he was maintaining himself while visiting either a hospital, dispensary, or a private physician for treatments. Convalescence.—The period shown as “convalescence” in this report is that portion of the seaman’s disability after the cessation of treatments during which he obtained board and lodging at his own expense. This is so shown to make the total of the out-patient treatment and the convalescence represent the period during which the seaman is entitled to an allowance for maintenance. Days entitled to wages—The number of days shown under this heading is the number of days from the beginning of the seaman’s disability to the end of his agreement as practiced under maritime law. (See p. 32.) Days entitled to maintenance~—The number of days a seaman is entitled to maintenance is the total of the days shown as an outpatient and as a convalescent. Amount entitled to as wages.—The sum shown as the amount of wages to which the seaman was entitled is wages computed at straight rate from the beginning of his disability to the end of the voyage in accordance with the practice of wage continuance. One thirtieth of the monthly wage was used as the daily wage. (See pp. 18, 32.) Amount entitled to as maintenance.—The sum shown as the amount entitled to as maintenance was computed by allowing each unlicensed seaman (except steward) $2 per day and licensed officer and steward $3.50 per day for each day of out-patient treatment and convalescence APPENDIX B.—GENERAL TABLE 57 shown in the tabulation. If the maintenance allowance was specified in any case as being more or less than the above amounts the specified figure was used and the tabulation noted accordingly. Days from injury to settlement.—The days from the injury to the settlement indicates the lapse of time after the injury before the seaman realized compensation for time lost, pain and suffering, or for indemnity. In cases where payments were made at different times the lapse of time shown is from the date of the injury to the date of the first payment. Amount actually paid as wages.—The amount shown as wages actually paid is the unearned wages at straight rate paid the seaman under his right to wages to the end of the voyage. It does not include pay for extra work, overtime, or for any period during which he was rendering service. Such items were due the seaman in some cases and were included in the final settlement but were deducted before entering the amount in the tabulation. For instance, in one case a seaman was entitled to unearned pay for six watches ($15) to the end of the voyage. The wage voucher which the seaman actually received was for $29.80, which included pay for .overtime earned before the beginning of disability. The amount shown as wages paid in this case is $15. Amount actually paid as maintenance—The amount shown as maintenance actually paid includes all sums paid to the seaman as an allowance for maintenance and also any amounts that were paid directly to other parties by the shipowner or the underwriter to satisfy bills for board and lodging which accrued against the seaman during his out-patient or convalescent period of disability. Amount actually paid as other settlement —The amounts shown as other settlements are sums paid the seaman in settlement of his claim other than for wages and maintenance, except in cases where the sums representing wages to the end of the voyage and maintenance were obscure and neither indicated nor specihod in the records of settlement. In such cases the amount shown is the full amount of the entire settlement. Total amount actually paid. —The total amount actually paid is the amount paid by the shipowner or the underwriter to the seaman or his attorney to satisfy the claim. If the settlement was made by personal agreement, the amount is net to the seaman. If the settlement is through agreement with the seaman’s attorney, a compromised action, a jury verdict, or a’ court decree, the amount shown includes the plaintiff's attorney’s fee but not court costs. Amount of probable recovery under compensation act.—The amount payable under the adaptation of the longshoremen’s act includes the following items: (1) The amount to which the seaman was entitled as wages shown in the tabulation; (2) The amount to which the seaman was entitled as maintenance as shown by the tabulation; and (8) The lump-sum value of compensation payable by applying the provisions of the longshoremen’s act as discussed in this report.
