1Opinion of the Court
ROCHE, District Judge.
Rylander, United States Shipping Commissioner for San Francisco, refuses to acknowledge and certify shipping articles (see 46 U.S.C.A. § 565) unless the seamen desiring to sign them first produce their “continuous discharge books” authorized by 46 U.S.C.A. § 643. This action is justified by him under a regulation of the Secretary of Commerce to that effect. (See Rules & Regulations for Issuance of the Certificates of Service and Efficiency and of Continuous Discharge Books, promulgated by the Secretary Of Commerce December 26, 1936, section 2.)
