lying idle at Seward
docks. The question
under discussion is
not new, and it is
understood that the
home office of the
longshoremen has
wired the union to
press for a final
settlement.
Arbitrators and
representatives of
Anchorage business
houses were in Seward
last week to urge the
longshoremen to begin
’onloading the vitally
needed food and sup
plies .
Longshoremen have
agreed to unload the
three ships, but say
they will work no
other vessels until
the Question is set
tled. However be
cause the steamship
Denali holds priority
over the relief ves
sel, the longshoremen
who returned to work
Tuesday were handling
only the Denali!s
cargo.
According to in
formation received
from Seward, cold
weather and heavy
snows are hampering
the unloading opera
tions, and the earl
iest estimated time
for the handling of
Reef Knot cargo was
either Friday or to
day.
At this time offi
cials of the Alaska
Steamship Co., cannot
give any estimated
arrival time in Sel
dovia for the Reef
Knot.
