Ask Suspension Of
SS. Rate Increases
'Continued From Page One
and consequent removal of losses
hitherto carried by freight, re
quire a re-examination of the
Alaska Steamship company.
"The tariffs now newly filed
are shown to perpetuate all the in
equalities and discrimination
v. ich existed in previous tariffs
»»
The Territory proposed that
regular passenger service be con
. ,ta to a direct route between
hca'.tle and the Gulf of Alaska. It
cited figures which it said showed
i s could be handled by two ves
sels.
Asserting the carriers propose
to operate “more vessels than the
needs of the trade justify,” the
petition said:
"The Territory expressed no
preference for any of the compet
ing lines. However, it cannot af
ford to pay for the "jockeying lor
position’ which is implicit in the
proposed schedules for Southeast
Alaska, and the resulting hike in
the tariffs which is necessary to
maintain these schedules.
"Before the war the freight ser
vices of Alaska steam, Northland
and Alaska Transportation over
lapped in Southeast Alaska. The
experience of the war shipping
administration shows that they
overlapped also during the war.
The result was a waste of ship
ping.
"Now it is proposed to perpetu
ate this situation by a substantial
increase in freight rates.
