Alaskan Freight Rates Will
Be Higher
The Pacific Coast and Alaska Steam
ship Companies have agreed upon a
new schrdyle of rebate# for regular
shippers which is equivalent to a raise
in the freight rates of from 1! to 20 per
oenu, the lesser percentage applying
to the big shippers and the larger per
centage to the smaller shippers. The
business men of Skagway and other
southeastern Alaskan points are com
plaining not a little because of the
action.
The freight rates on the southeastern
Alaskan route to Skagway are classified
and run from about 110 to a sum con
siderably larger tan that. Heretofore
it has been the custom of each of the
companies to allow any person a reduc
tion from these rates of 20 per cent,
upon their sighing a contract to ship
all their freight with the one company,
irrespective of the amount of freight
shit ped. Further rebates were allow- J
ed, depending upon the amount o f
?freight shipped. These were graduated
from 7 to 20 per cent. This made the
highest rebate allowed 3* per cent, of
the face of the freight bills: that is, 20
per c?.nt. off for (he contract and 20 per
cent, ofihe regaining 80 percent, on
account of the quantity of goods shipp
ed. The lowest rebate allowed was the
20 per cent, for the signature to the
contract.
In the readjustment the 20 per cent,
rebate for the signature to the contra :t
is "eliminatedjentirely. The rebates on
account of the quantity of goods ship
ped have been rearranged. A person
whose freight bills do not amount to
1500 or more gets no reoate at all, and
is thus 30 per cent, worse off than be
fore. The lowest rebate allowed Is 2?
per cent , and the highest 25 per cent.
Another provision of the new con
tract is for semi-annual settlements in
stead of quarterly.
The proposed schedule cf rebates is
as follows:
Where the freight bills amount to
from?
8 500 to $1000 2* per cent.
1000 to 2000 5 per cent.
2000 to 3000 10 per cent.
4000 to 5000 20 per cent.
5000 or over 25 per cent.
