To Raise Freight
Rates At Present
(Continued from Page One)
.ermined to make every possible
effort to maintain these rates at
t.,e pre-s'rike level.”
Zeusler said events of the next
s:x months, or so, will de.ermine
whether increased freight rates
mnye be avoided. The current
general freight tariff structure
went into effect May 21, 1947.
Recent wage increases to ship
personnel and other increased op
rating costs have added greatly to
the company’s expenses since the
present rates went into effect.
Zeusles said.
To continue operation under
this rate structure, Zeusler de- j
dared, will require “full coopera-'
lion” of unions :n observing new
contrac s, and “full support’’ of !
Alsnkans and freight shippers.
Alaska Steamship com p any |
emerged from the strike as the i
only major water service to Alas- ;

pany was consolidated with Alas
ka Steamship company. Another 1
ship line, Alaska Transportation
'■ompany, and a barge line, Alaska
Freight Express, bo h suspended
operations.
