Anti-Trust
SEATTLE, UP) — The govern- j
ment’s anti-trust suit agai nst
Alaska Steamship Company, if j
successful, could mean the “end of ,
water transportation to all the
Teritory by private enterprise,” |
G. W. Skinner, president of the
ship line, asid in a statement last
Saturday.
The anti-trust division of the
U. S. attorney general’s office
filed a civil injunction suit in An
chorage, Alaska, June 9 against
the Alaska line and its officers.
Skinner, in a letter to the com
pany’s personnel and customers,
termed the suit “an unwaranted
attack” on the company and “sim
ply another strand in the noose
being prepared by certain ele
ments in government to hang so
called ‘big’ business.”
Skinner denied that the ship
line “conspired” to destroy com
petition or to “monopolize” the
Alaska trade. All ship line oper
ations. practices and rates are sub
ject to regulation under federal
shipping acts, he said.
“The suit, if successful, could
mer' n the end of water transporta
tion to all the Territory by private
enterprise,” Skinner said. “It is
the next step toward socialized
government operation of steam
ship service to the Territory, the

Sen. Byrd <D.-Va.), one of the
conferees, told a reporter that the
previously deadlocked lawmak

that this was no time to have the
world think there was a dispute
here over such a matter.
Previously the House had voted
a two-year extension o fthe peace
time draft act requiring registra
tion of young men 18 through 25
years. It retained in the hands of
Congress the authority for induc
tions or actual drafting.
