HAINES IS NOT
ENTHUSIASTIC
FOR MERGER
“In regard to consolidating the two
Alaska steamship companies, I told
Secretary Payne, in Washington, D. C.
that we were willing to either buy or
sell if satisfactory terms could be ar
ranged,” stated A. F. Haines, vice
president and general manager of the
Admiral Line, who has just returned
from a six weeks' trip east on busi
ness in connection with the shipping
board and who is a round trip pas
senger on the Spokane, sizing up the
transportation situation in the terri
tory, according to the Alaska Daily
Dispatch.
‘‘I don’t think that consolidation
will work out practically and to the
satisfaction of the public as it would
mean less steamers on the run,” be
pnntinnofl
“Five new vessels have just been
assigned to us by the shipping board
the first one, the Wenatchee is due
to arrive on the Pacific coast in De
cember,” said the official. “Thej
will be used in the trans-Pacifie
trade with the Orient. These ships
are 535 feet long, are 12,500 tons
capacity and carry 570 first class
passengers. At present we are hand
ling 19 steamers in the Orienta
trade.”
Shipping is seriously affected bj
the fuel oil situation, according tc
Mr. Haines. No oil company will
promise any oil for their steamers
after this year when present con
tracts expire, and if oil could be ob
tained it would cost $1,00 a barrel
more, which means an additional fuel
expense of one and a half million dol
lars, which must be borne by the pub
lie if the steamship companies are tc
■operate, he stated.
Under present conditions, while the
companies appear to be doing a flour
ishing business, he said, it requires all
the money taken in to operate unaei
the present high cost of labor and sup
plies. Recommendations have beer
made to change from oil back to coal
but this is regarded as impossible with
some of the vessels which -were built
to burn oil.
Mr. Haines is accompanied by Mrs
,^?*%W.VA:.%v.v.v.v.;.v.y.w.v.v.v.y.v.y.y.y.y.y.y.v
Haines and four of his daughters.
After visiting Skagway and Sitka Mr.
Haines will return to Seattle.

as saying that there will be no op
position to the bill next session and
it will undoubtedly pass. As you
