O'Neill, in filing his report on the hearing held before him on the Vestris sinking, entered in the Federal District Court his findings. One of the chief points admits the seamen of the Vestris, blatantly ac- eused of “cowardice” by the capi-| talist press which protected the Lamport-Holt Company, were per- fectly competent and would have saved the ship had it not been for the incompetent officers. “The crew seems to have been competent if led, but they were not properly led,” says O'Neill. Another point in the report is that, aceording to some humbug laws and loop-holes in them, the Vestris, a British boat but not touching her home port in her regular route, was immune from both British and American inspection laws. The ly- ing U. S. inspector, Edward Keane, was mentioned as a liar for saying he properly inspected the ship, which he did not, but even here the capi- talist Jaw lets him escape together with the company which was charged in one hearing with reach- ing him with booze.
