may be permitted to put into effect
another increase in rates, which was
proposed last fall, but which the ter
ritorial shipping board declared wotiHck
be vigorously resisted.
Mr. Semmes was asked if his esti-1
mated annual revenue of $450,000 j
would provide a sufficient contract j
fund to make the segregated routes at
♦tftactive at reasonable rates. For an- j
swer he produced figures showing that
the amount would compare very favor
ably with the Canadian contracts, even
at the increased rates of the last few
years. The Canadians have been very
successful in this contract system,
chiefly because the Canadian lines
thereby been enabled to maintain defi
nite schedules, and they have also
avoided a duplication of service upon
unprofitable routes. Mr. Semmes says
the American lines should be even
more successful in developing tourist
traffic to Alaska, and an added feature
would be the ability of the territorial
board to encourage local boats from
the principal towns and give the
smaller places a better service for
mail, passengers and perishable
freight.
The plan will not interfere with Ca
nadian ships, nor will it militate
agaiifct a territorial shipping line later
if this be found advisable and congress
can be induced to authorize a bond
issue for that purpose. Indeed, the
bill takes the first necessary step, for
a territorial line could not operate
without some contribution from the
interests which handle their traffic on
the private ships. No regulation can
be effective which extends to less than
one-fourth of the Alaska tonnage, with
out any control of the other three
fourths. This would simply leave the
territorial line in the same situation
as the present independent lines,
which serve the unprofitable portion
of the traffic and provide a year
round service for the territory, with
out any contribution from the larger
interests. ♦ „
SEAMEN’S OPPOSITION
Mr. Leehey says that one reason why
4 it is utterly impossible to get any au
thority from congress for a bond issue
Qfor a territorial steamship line is the
opposition of the International Sea
men’s Union, and he calls attention to
an excerpt from the committee hear
ings in which Andrew Furuseth, presi
dent of that union, is quoted as say
ing that the government should get
out of the shipping business as soon
as it consistently can. He proposed
that the ships now in the hands of
the government should be disposed of
with the idea of getting them ulti
mately into private hands.
