SECOND ATTEMPT T0RA|SERATES
 DEFEATED
Two Transportation Com' panies Oppose the Move
 and Block Action
f Iseociotsd Presso

SEATTLE, Aug. 17-Another at tempt to raise the Alaska freight rates was made last night at a meet inx of representatives of various transportation companies. but wn'cn failed owing to the opposition or two companies.
 There Is a report that the Seattle Chamber of Commerce Is also oppos' ing the move. as these fleets form the backbone of Seattle's domestic com merce and considers that since Alas ka is wholly dependent on the Seat'e fleets. any curtailment would anect both Alaska and Seattle for years.
 Those who favor the increase claim that added expenses force them 10 take the step A. F. Haines. manager of the Admiral line give the reasons thus:
 "The steamship companies have granted large increases in wages. The nrice of fuel oil Is soaring upward. as ia also food, gear and equipment. u can speak, of course. only TOT our own line. Since May l the Fac fife Steamship Company. has granted increases in wages aggregating $52z. 900 a year. But that is merely one item. Our fleet burns 100000 bar rels of oil . year. Under our con- tracts for the year just ended, we paio 80 cents a barrel for fuel oil.
 "The new price is $1.65, an increase of ss cents, or more than 100 per cent. This Is the price to be paid during tho next twelve months. It represents an increase of more than $1.000.0OO . year for the fuel oil used by our fleet Everybody knows about the increase in the cost of foods. of which we use an enormous quantity on our vessels. Food, gear and equipment have tump' ed easily 50 per cent in cost during the last twelve months.
 Speaking roughly, our fleet ex' penses have increased more than $l'. 700, 900 for the coming year as com pared with the past-year. Under these circumstances an increase in rates fs more than probable. It is becoming necessary"
