of call to be serviced each sailing.
“Furthermore,” he said, “we are
unable to use our own vessels for
Alaska service because our fleet is
strikebound fully laden with no
provisions for unloading the cargo.
“We feel certain that the Alas
kans would not want you to turn
the Governorship of Alaska over
to the striking unions. Neither do
they want us to turn over to them
the operation of our ships.”
Skinner said that “if the Terri
tory of Alaska is to enjoy the se
curity of uninterrupted water
transportation, it is imperative
that the striking union leadership
be thwarted in their efforts to ruin
I completely the shipping industry.”
Gruening’s telegram also was re

ALASKA RAILROAD WILL
LOSE ON BARGE HAULING
ANCHORAGE, (/P)—Col. John
P. Johnson general manager of the
! Alaska Railroad, has predicted
; that barge operations will cause a
deficit for the line. He outlined
costs of the barge operations to the
chamber of commerce here and
said he hoped to find economies
which would make it unnecessary
to incerase freight rates. The rail
road will base its freight rates on
tariffs used by the Alaska- Steam
; ship Company.
;
; ness agent, said the refusal was
made because, he charged the com
j mission “double-crossed” the fire
men in recent transfer of the ship
Grommet Reefer to the army.
The ship was recently turned
i back to the commission by the
i
Alaska Transportation company
and then turned over to the Seattle
port of embarkation for Alaska
army service.
Greathouse asserted the union
“agreed to shift the Grommet
Reefer to the shipyard for survey
when the company turned her
I back to the commission, but it was
' with the understanding the ship
i would go direct to layup. Instead,
, she went to the army.”
The vessels which had been
1 scheduled to go to Columbia river
i layup are the Jumper Hitch and
Reef Knot. They were turned back
to the commission recently by the
' Alaska Steamship company.
