RECEIVED FROM JUNEAU
LAST EVENING, PREPAID
r
Juneau, Alaska,
March 11, 1918.
< WORKER,
Nome, Alaska.
In 1917 Congress passed a bill
■which permits foreign ships to en
gage in American coastwise trade,
This was a war measure made ne
cessary by the shortage of ships,
and to relieve the pressing needs
for transportation. Nowhere was
the need Tor this relief greater than
in Alaska. Canadian boats regular
ly ply our-waters but thousands of
pounds of fresh fish have spoiled
for lack of transportation because
they could not be shipped except in
American boats. Yet the bill con
tained proviso excepting Alaska from
its operation.
No one knew precisely the reason
of this until Mr. Sulzer addressed
the .people of Juneau on November
13, 1917. On that occasion John
A. Hellenthal, corporation attorney,
introduced Mr. Sul/, r, and in doing
so said: “Mr. Sulzer has been criti
cized for agreeing to permit on ex
ception to appear in the bill pa •-•sod
by the recent Congress, permitting
, foreign ships to engage in coast
! wise trad?. When this matter was
up before the committee it was
suggested that an exception should
be introduc'd in the bill providing
that foreign ships could not ply be
tween American ports and Alaska.
Mr. Sulzer agreed to it before he
! left Washington and the bill passed
exactly as agreed. Thsrd was noth
ing more to do.” Mr. Sulzer was
put on the stage and his address
immediately followed, and lie did
not contradict the statement. In
| order then to preserve tliG* absolute
monopoly of the carrying business of
Alaska held by tin Guggenheim
Syndicate . Mr. Sulzer agreed to ex
cept Alaska from the operation of
j the shipping bill, and if the fisher
| men of Alaska thereby loo thou
j sands of dollars and the naton thou
i sands of pounds of much c eded,
I food, why it is onlv a part of tlie I
price paid for the monopoly and |
for Air. Sulzer. The people of j
South-eastern Alaska are Justiv in- j
dignant at Mr. Sulzer for thus be
traying tbeir interests in the hour
of need, and, if nothing e|o^ stood
against his record this will drive
the nail in his political coffin. But
this is not all the people of the ter
ritory hold against this sel:' styled
leader. It is evident that this so
called Home Rule bill reopens the
liiuor, which the people haa settled
b>' a vote of o’er tiirce to one. and
it opens a gap for *hc Gug;,enheims
and the other big interests to a'.oid
their just burden of taxation. In
addition to this, the bill attempts
to create a sufficient number of
officers to supply every inhabitant
of the territory. The whole bill
i is regarded as an eleventh- hour
measure concocted for purely politi
cal effect. His support of Riggs,
who opposed the eight-hour law, has
turned Jhe whole laboring population
against him, and it is reasonable to
| predict that he will not receive ten
I percent of thehr votes. In fact, he
j will receive no supporrt from tin's |
clement, except from hangers on and
such as may properly be styled j
company men. His overwhelming'
defeat is certain.
