EXPERT MAKING TRIPS

In the effort to relieve the short
zee of labor and seed, the Burlington
route is sending an expert over It's
lines to hep in the fight for increas-
ed production. 1t is termed emery
ency work, and is to be carried out
through this month. ]. A. Hweil OF
the state agricultural college at
Ames, was here today in his swing
around this district to organize ou-
reaus in the various towns.
There is great need for some
organization to aid the farmers In
securing seed and labor necessary to
carry out the campaign OF increased
production. To meet this need 1t Is
proposed to organize labor and seed
bureaus. The territory along the
Burlington lines has been divided In
to thirteen districts, reaching from
eastern Iowa to western Nebraska,
and Kansas, with an agent assigned
to each district, whose work 1t will
be to organize the bureau In each
town.

campaign, and to establish bureaus
wherever he finds they will be of
benefit and are necessary to prose

RECEPTION BY LEAGUE

DOUGLAS, June P. The busi ness meeting of the Ladies League of the Congregational Church yester- day afternoon was one long to be re- membered by the friends and mem bcrS of the organization. The com mittee having matters in charge had arranged quietly to make it the oc- casion of reception to Mrs. R. R. Hubbard and Mrs. James Wallace, both most efficient and helpful mem bers for years, but who will leave Douglas in the near future. This league is one of the oldest organiza- tions on the Island and they will keenly feel the loss they are sus- taining during these days. But the League will be pushed for the con tinuation of it's good work. While it is allied with the church it controls its affairs independent of the church. The next social feature will be Pa. triotic meeting on July 5th. in the interests of the local Red Cross. All the proceeds of the affair will be turned into the Red Cross treasury.
 Photographer Andrews took a pie ture of the company on the church steps after adjournment.

VICTORY WON BY STEAMERS
 IN DECISION
Alaska Companies Are Victorious in the Hearings Upon
 Freight Rates.

SEATTLE. June 16.-Sweeping vic tories were won by the Alaska rail roads and steamship companies op- erating between Seattle and Alaskan ports in the Interstate Commerce Commissions recent decision on Al aska rates, says the Seattle Times. The inquiry, originally instituted by the Samson Hardware Co, of Fair banks, and by James Wickersham. then Delegate from Alaska, was ac- tually prosecuted by the Interstate Commerce Commission itself for the proofs advanced by the complainants were negligible.
 The Interstate Commerce Commis. sion held hearings at Cordova, Ju- neau. Seattle. and Washington, D. c. All steamship companies engaged in the Alaska trade. the White Pass & Yukon, the Copper River & North western. the Valdez Dock Company. the Port of Seattle, merchants of Valdez, Skagway, and other Alaska towns, the Kennecott Copper Com pany and others were represented during the hearings.
 The port of Seattle complained that the Alaska steamship companies re- fused to absorb wharfage charges oy-
The Alaska daily empire., 1917-06-22

CT the municipal wharves at Seattle panies only absorbed charges on wharves owned and operated by them selves and that they treated the port wharves just the same as pri- vately owned piers The Interstate Commerce Commission found that the port had no right to complain
 A similar situation arose in Val dez where the municipality owns a wharf the company refuse to use It was shown that the company wharf was conveniently situated and ade. quate for transportation purposes and that there was no evidence of fered that wharfage rates were ex- cessive.
 Favor For Shippers
 The kennecott Copper Company. which owns the stocks and bonds of the Copper River & Northwestern was alleged to be charging other shippers an unjust rate through the railroad. The commissions inquiry showed that as the railroad lost money, the Copper company, which had to make up for deficits and which supplied S4.8S per cent of the traffic handled was really conferring a favor on independent shippers by quoting rates less than the cost of operation.
 Though the White Pass X Yukon pleaded that it was Canadian road and not subject to the orders of the Interstate Commerce Commission it submitted it's books to investigation and supplied all information asked by the commission In the findings it is stated that the commission did not assume Jurisdiction over the rail road but as no discriminations were found that point was immaterial. The White Pass had been accused Of granting rebates of $2 per ton to the Northern Commercial Company.
 It was found that traffic of can neries and several mining companies at scattered points was being han dled by contracts instead of by pub lished tariffs Thes contracts were abrogated November 1, following the passage of the act that created the

shipping board and the condition com plained about was not before the commission. However, in it's findings the commission shows that the steam ship companies when they made contracts with the canneries, had to fix rates that would closely approxi- mate the cost of the canneries in handling their supplies and shipments of canned salmon in their own boats. Apparently the commission believed this practice was justified though it now is illegal In conclusion the commission holds in favor of tho Al aska transportation companies.
