CHARGE AGAINST GRIGSBY
PROVEN TO BE UNJUST
The following, taken from the
Seward Gateway of October 2d, in
dicates that some of the opponents
of Delegate Grigsby are neglecting
to acquaint themselves with the
facts in the case before making
charges.
A pamphlet is being circulated in
this division of Alaska purporting
to be a reproduction of a speech
delivered by John Rustgard, candi
date for attorney-general, at Wran-;
gell, Alaska, on August 26th last, j
This pamphlet is entitled: “THE
CAPITULATION OF GEORGE B. j
GRIGSBY TO THE SEATTLE j
STEAMSHIP TRUST."
The charge is made that Grigsby j
failed to lift his voice in protest
against the passage of the Mcr j
chant Marine Bill, which was passed
by the last Congress on June 4th,'
1920, and which contained provi
sions designed to put the Canadian
steamship lines out of business in
Alaska waters. It is contended that
.the interests of Alaska, particularly ;
Southeastern Alaska, require the
continuance of this Canadian com
petition and service, and that the
elimination of this Canadian com
petition would result in a monopoly
for the two American lines) and
consequently a raise in rates and
inadequacy of service. / Mr. Grigsby :
for the first time was handed a
copy of this Rustgard pamphlet at'
Anchorage on the 29th of Septem-;
her, and immediately sent tele-;
grams to members of Congress to
prove his activity against the Jones
Merchant Marine Bill. Among oth-,
ers, he received the following an-.
swers, which have been eichibited to j
the Gateway, and which completely j
refute the accusation made by Rust-,
gard: j
“Tullahoraa, Tenn.,
“Sept. 30. 1920.
“Geo. B. Grigsby, Delegate,
“Seward, Alaska.
“Your telegram 29th instant re
ceived. You certainly openly and
actively fought the Jones, Merchant
Marine Bill on account of the Alas
kan provisions. You filed with me
and members of the Merchant Ma
rine Committee strong signed argu
ment against the bill with particu
lar reference to the Alaska provi
sions, expressly charging such pro
visions were written by an attor
ney of the Seattle steamship trust
and in the interest of such and con
trary to the interests of the Alaskan
people You made the same argu
ments among members on the floor
of the House and endeavored to pro
cure time to speak against the bill,
but I understood at the time that
the Chairman of the Committee re
fused to grant you time upon learn
ing that you would speak in oppo
sition to the bill. The Congres
sional Record shows that as a mem
ber of the Merchant Marine Com
mittee I fought and spoke against
the bill chiefly because it was too
favorable to special interests and
you frequently consulted and co
operated with me in the tight. 1
know that you were strongly op
posed to the bill because of the
\laskan' provisions, and any accusa
tion that you capitulated to the Se
attle Steamship Trust is false and
.vholly unwarranted. I was im
pressed with the courage displayed
oy you in the bold signed charges
>ou made against this trust and the
part it had played in the prepara
tion of that bill. Your defeat
A'ould be a distinct loss to the coun- j
:ry and the Alaskan people whose:
interests you so faithfully repre- j
tented, and I sincerely trust that j
fou may be re-elected.
(Signed) “ERVIN L. DAVIS, !
“Member of Congress.”!
To show the bad faith of Rust
sard in this accusation^ Mr. Grigsby
calls attention to the fact that a3
!ong ago as last June the Juneau
Daily Empire published in full
Grigsby’s brief against the Jones
Merchant Marine bill.
Another telegram received by Mr.
Grigsby from William S. Green,
congressman from Massachusetts.
Republican Chairman of the Mer
chant Marine Committee of the
House of Representatives, is as fol
lows :
“Fall River, Mass.,
“Sept. 00, 1920. j
“lion. George Grigsby,
“Seward, Alaska.
“You asked for time to speak
against Alaskan provisions in Jones
Merchant Marine Bill. I refused
because all time had been allotted.
(Signed) “WM. S. GREEN."
Mr. Green was Chairman of the
Merchant Marine Committee, and
had control of the time, which was
iimited to or-c hour on a bill which
was 59 pages long when it came
out of conference.
v
Two other telegrams already re
ceived by Grigsby, with reference
to this matter, read as follows:
“New Orleans, La.,
“Sept. 30, 1920.
“George B. Grigsby,
“Anchorage, Alaska.
“The Merchant Marine Bill was
undoubtedly rapidly and expeditious
ly rushed throuph the House. Many
members that favored its peneral
provisions and underlying principles
voted against it because of the lack
of time to study and debate its
detail. I remember that you com
plained of Chairman Green’s refusal
to afford you time. I thought yon
managed the Alaskan railroad ap
propriation bill with legislative skill
and diplomacy.
(Signed) “JAS. O’CONNOR.
“Member of Congressi First Con
gressional District, New Orleans.”
“Jasper, Alabama,
“Oct. 2, 1920.
“Hon. George B. Grigsby,
“Seward, Alaska.

were being adversely criticised for
not opposing Jones shipping bill.

oorats only allowed twenty minutes |
to debate conference report. As I
member of Merchant Marine com
mittee I voted for bill despite some
bad features, with hope of amend
ing next session. Many Democrats
did likewise. You asked me for
time to oppose Alaska feature and
expose its vice. You were bitterly
opposed to that feature and wanted j
time to show its bad effect upon
Alaska interests.
(Signed) *‘\V. B. BANKHEAD,
“Member of Congress, Tenth Ala
bama District."
The telegrams above quoted speak
for themselves, and the people of
Alaska should resent by their votes
the dastardly attempt of John Rust
gard to discredit an official who is
able to show by indisputable evi
dence that he has been faithful and
zealous in the interests of the Terri
tory of Alaska.

Otis Ross, with a force of seven
men, was left in the field by Mr.
Walker. These are running town
; ship and section lines and tying in
oil claims that can be found. “While
