Attachment of Fishermen's Wages 46 U.S.C. 601 § 601. Attachment or arrestment of wages; support of wife and minor children; State tax laws. No wages due or accruing to any master, seaman, or apprentice shall be subject to attachment or arrestment from any court, and every payment of wages to a master, seaman, or apprentice shall be valid in law, notwithstanding any previous sale or assignment of wages or of any attachment, encumbrance, or arrestment thereon; and no assignment or sale of wages or of salvage made prior to the accruing thereof shall bind the party making the same, except such allotments as are authorized by this title. This section shall apply to fishermen employed on fishing vessels as well as to seamen: Pro vided, That nothing contained in this or any preceding section shall interfere with the order by any court regarding the payment by any master or seaman of any part of his wages for the support and maintenance of his wife and minor children: And provided further, That no part of the wages due or accruing to a master, officer, or any other seaman who is a member of the crew on a vessel engaged in the foreign, coastwise, intercoastal, interstate, or noncontiguous trade shall be withheld pursuant to the provisions of the tax laws of any State, Territory, possession, or Commonwealth, or a subdivision of any of them.

REFERENCES IN TEXT Words "this title" in first sentence were so in original. The act of Mar. 4, 1915, was not subdivided into titles, and section 12 thereof did not directly amend any section of the Revised Statutes. The term "this title" is therefore ambiguous, but was probably intended to refer to Title 53 of the Revised Statutes, for distribution of which, see note under section 543 of this title. The preceding sections of act Mar. 4, 1915, referred to in proviso of this section, affected sections 80, 569, 596, 597, 599, 656, 673, 701, 703, 712 and 713 of this title. AMENDMENTS 1968-Pub. L. 90-293 substituted "master, seaman, or apprentice" for "seaman or apprentice" wherever appear ing and substituted "master or seaman" for "seaman" in provision prohibiting interference with court orders regarding the payment of a portion of wages for the support and maintenance of a wife and minor children. 1959-Pub. L. 86-263 added proviso prohibiting withholding from seamen's wages for State, Territory or Commonwealth taxes.

Articles withdrawn from bonded warehouses, bonded manufacturing warehouses, continuous customs custody elsewhere than in a bonded warehouse, or from a foreign-trade zone, and articles of domestic manufacture or production, laden as supplies upon any such vessel or aircraft of the United States or laden as supplies (including equipment) upon, or used in the maintenance or repair of, any such foreign vessel or aircraft, shall be considered to be exported within the meaning of the drawback provisions of this chapter. (c) Articles removed in, or returned to, the United States. Any article exempted from duty or tax, or in respect of which drawback has been allowed, under this section or section 1317 of this title and thereafter removed in the United States from any vessel or aircraft, or otherwise returned to the United States, shall be treated as an importation from a foreign country. (d) Reciprocal privileges. The privileges granted by this section and section 1317 of this title in respect of aircraft registered in a foreign country shall be allowed only if the Secretary of the Treasury shall have been advised by the Secretary of Commerce that he has found that such foreign country allows, or will allow, substantially reciprocal privileges in respect of aircraft registered in the United States. If the Secretary of Commerce shall advise the Secretary of the Treasury that he has found that a foreign country has discontinued, or will discontinue, the allowance of such privileges, the privileges granted by this section and such section 1317 shall not apply thereafter in respect of aircraft registered in that foreign country.

If, after such efforts by the President and by other countries which have agreed to engage in such negotiations, any other country whose conservation practices or policies affect the interests of the United States and such other countries, has, in the judgment of the President, failed or refused to engage in such negotiations in good faith, the President may, if he is satisfied that such action is likely to be effective in inducing such country to engage in such negotiations in good faith, increase the rate of duty on any fish (in any form) which is the product of such country, for such time as he deems necessary, to a rate not more than 50 percent above the rate existing on July 1, 1934.

(b) Whoever, in violation of this section, takes or attempts to take, or authorizes the taking of any such vessel, out of port or from the United States, shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both. In addition, such vessel, her tackle, apparel, furniture, equipment, and her cargo shall be forfeited to the United States.

(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 747.) LEGISLATIVE HISTORY Reviser's Note.-Based on title 18, U. S. C., 1940 ed., §§ 34, 36 (June 15, 1917, ch. 30, title V, §§ 4, 6, 40 Stat. 222; Mar. 28, 1940, ch. 72, § 5, 54 Stat. 79). Section consolidates said sections of title 18, U. S. C., 1940 ed. Words "within the United States" were substituted for "within the jurisdiction" etc., in view of the definition of United States in section 5 of this title. Mandatory punishment provision was rephrased in the alternative. Words in subsection (a), referring to title 46, sections 91, 92, and 94, "each of which sections is hereby declared to be and is continued in full force and effect," were omitted as surplusage. The conspiracy provision of said section 36 was omitted as covered by section 371 of this title. See reviser's note under that section. The final paragraph of the revised section was added on advice of the Treasury Department, to conform with administrative practice and because of the unnecessary burden upon domestic commerce had the provisions of this section been enforced against coastwise, fishing, and pleasure vessels. Minor changes of phraseology were made. REFERENCES IN TEXT Section 92 of Title 46, referred to in subsec. (a) was repealed by Pub. L. 87-826, § 3, Oct. 15, 1962, 76 Stat. 953.

It shall thereupon be unlawful for the vessel to depart. (b) Whoever, in violation of this section, takes or attempts to take, or authorizes the taking of any such vessel, out of port or from the United States, shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both. In addition, such vessel, her tackle, apparel, furniture, equipment, and her cargo shall be forfeited to the United States. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 747.)

Section consolidates said sections of title 18, U. S. C., 1940 ed. Mandatory punishment provision was rephrased in the alternative. The phrase "by the head of the department or agency charged with the administration of laws relating to clearance of vessels," was substituted for "by the Secretary of Commerce" in view of Executive Order No. 9083 (F. R. 1609) transferring functions to the Commissioner of Customs. The conspiracy provision of said section 36 was omitted as covered by section 371 of this title. See reviser's note under that section. Minor changes of phraseology were made. CANAL ZONE Applicability of section to Canal Zone, see section 14 of this title. CROSS REFERENCES Jurisdiction of offenses, see section 3241 of this title.

It shall thereupon be unlawful for such vessel to depart. (b) Whoever, in violation of this section, takes or attempts to take, or authorizes the taking of any such vessel, out of port or from the United States, shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both. In addition, such vessel, her tackle, apparel, furniture, equipment, and her cargo shall be forfeited to the United States. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 748.)

(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 762.) LEGISLATIVE HISTORY Reviser's Note.-Based on title 18, U. S. C., 1940 ed., § 387 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch. 321, § 237, 35 Stat. 1136). Reference to persons causing or procuring was omitted as unnecessary in view of definition of "principal" in section 2 of this title. Words "in interstate or foreign commerce" were substituted for involved enumeration of places, thus permitting section to be condensed and simplified without change of meaning. See definitive section 10 of this title. The rewritten punishment provision is in lieu of the following: "for the first offense, be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than two years, or both; and for any subsequent offense shall be imprisoned not more than two years". There seems no point in fixing a punishment for a second offense less than that for the first offense. Minor changes were made in phraseology. 18.
