Union demanded a full year’s Extension with

Result—another ship tie-up for Alaska.
The major part of the past year has been
consumed by strikes. Alaska is always in
one of three positions—recuperating from
a ship strike, enduring a ship strike or
fearing a ship strike. IIow long are we
going to sit idly by and let this continue*
How long is our National government going

the strike last winter which crippled and paralized our industries, drove living costs
out of sight and deprived children and invalids of many necessary foods.
These conditions are in part the result of granting special favors to a feu controll
ing companies and making it possible for them to monopolize the shipping betreen hero
and Seattle, Recently shipping companies were granted a 35$ increase in shipping
rates which were already higher than ship rates any where else. The Maritime Commis
sion has also agreed to provide the private operators with vessels at nominal rates
and carry the costs of Marine Insurance and depreciation. Plenty of protest have been
entered against this discrimination, but we notice it continues.
Like a spoiled child — after having its way—vh at do we get? The poorest kind of
service. Everywhere you turn'construction workers are still waiting for goods shipped
cut of Seattle two months ago. One would thunk that shipping companies—after all the
ill fefeling of'the past year—would bend every effort to promote the good will of
Alaska, but no, there seems to be a deliVerate effort afoot to trample on us. It is
all-tc-gether possible that there are interests beneath the surface wth the deliber
ate purpose-of hindering the development of Alaska, Consider the position of Alaska
in relation to the States and the rest of the world.
The Ketchikan Pishing Hews seems to feel that Seattle should "purge itself of the
Communist elema. t wh ich seems'to enter into Alaska shipping." They suggest that a
Railroad be built from Seattle to Alaska, 71© feol like doing seme thing of that nature
and letting the strikers and companies pull in their own belts for awhile, Cont.p.9
