The act was introduced by Nelson Dingley, Jr.
The Dingley Act of 1884 was a United States law introduced by U.S. Representative Nelson Dingley, Jr. of Maine dealing with American mariners serving in the United States Merchant Marine.
Among other things, the act:
- prohibited advances on wages,[1] and
- limited the making of seamen's allotments to only close relatives.[1]
In 1886, a loophole to the Dingley Act was created, allowing boardinghouse keepers to receive seamen's allotments.[1]
