out in lines 23 and 24 thereof the words, where adequate terminal connections with rail carriers can and will be made or already exist
 This language having been strick- en out, the Shipping Board will have the power, in case of a mon opoly at excessive rate charges or inadequate service by the present American lines to Alaska, to estab- lsh a government service, or to sell or charter vessels to American citi- zens, who desire to engage in such business. A failure to strike out without the protection from monop- oily which safeguards every other coast trade in the United States
 Section 22 should be stricken out if the foregoing amendment to Sec tion z is made, for the reason that otherwise it might be construed as a limitation upon the power of the Shipping Board to establish vessels in Alaska trade. If it is not strick- en out the following words in lines 15 and 16, Sec. 23, p. 25, should be stricken out, 'the ocean terminal of the government railroad in Alas ka," and the words, Alaskan ports" substituted therefor As I said be- fore, however, the section is super fluous.

upon us. A force of one million men and the annual expenditure of two billions of dollars could not secure the adequate enforcement of this un. wise and vicious legislation.
 Industrial Fabric Menaced
 "5-It menaces our whole industrial fabric, and millions of workers are filled with resentment at this invas- ion of their personal liberties.
 "6-It is the main impelling cause. as shown by investigation of the Federal Department of Labor, why two millions of men of foreign birth plan to return to their native lands. The Department of State is refusing their applications for passports, while the Department of Justice is making mass arrests and threatening depor tation among the very same class, whose mental condition thereby bor- ders upon panic and renders them the prey of every red agitator.
 "7-It falls between the two stools of State and Federal authority. No law providing for concurrent juris- diction of Federal and State authori- ties can be successfully enforced Conflict of authority, jealousy and failure are inevitable.
 "8-It blocks the way for the con sideration of vitally important post war constructive legislation by the demoralization which this unwise and drastic law has forced upon us."

Objections of the Delegate From Alaska to H. R. 10378 As
 Amended Rv the SenatI

Section 29. That no mer-
 chandise shall be transported
 by water, or by land and wa
 ter, on penalty of forfeiture
 thereof, between points in the
 United States, including Dis
 tricts, Territories, and posses
 sions thereof embraced within
 the coastwise laws, either di-
 rectly or via a foreign port,
 or for any part of the trans
 portation, in any other vessel
 than a vessel built in and doc
 umented under the laws of the ~- United States and wholly owned
 by persons who are citizens of
 the United States, or vessels to
 which the privilege of engag-
 ing coastwise trade is extend
 ed by sections IS or A of this
 Act"
 This section was drawn by MT. W. l.. Clark, who appeared before the Senate Commerce Committee as the aNowed representative of the Pa cific Coast Company. Up until re gently MT. Clark also represented the Alaska Steamship Company. MT. Clark is an expert transportation man, and has spent the past several months in assisting in framing leg islation of whidh the present bill is the result In November last MT. Clark drew an amendment to the Railroad Bill H. R. 10453, which was introduced in the House by Congressman Albert Johnson, and in the Senate by Senator Jones, which was designed to eliminate or reduce competition of the Canadian lines in the Alaska trade This amend ment was as follows:
 It shall be unlawful for any United States carrier or carriers by rail or water to par ticipate in the continuous or in-

An account of the fight made by Delegate George B. Grigsby against the provisions of the Merchant Mar inc bill protested by many Alaskan Commercial organizations, received here show that he was at least par tially successful. The Yukon river navigation was excluded from the measure and the provision aimed at the prevention of establishing gov ernment steamer lines to ports with out rail connections was knocked out.

The Joker in the Bill, Drawn in the Interest of Private Monopoly
 of Alaskan Trade

In this connection I call your at ention to Section ' of the bill, as 'ollows:
 That the Board is author iZed and directed to investigate and determine as promptly as possible after the enactment of this act and from time to time thereafter what steamship lines should be established and put in operation from ports in the United States, or any Territory. district or possession thereof where adequate terminal con nections with rail carriers can and will be made or already is ist to such world markets as in it's judgment are desirable for the promotion, development, ex- pansion and maintenance of the foreign and coastwise trade of the United States The
 Board is authorized to sell and
 if a satisfactory sale can not
 be made, to charter such of the
 vessels of the United States as
 will meet these requirements to
 responsible persons who are
 citizens of the United States wh oagree to establish and
 maintain such lines upon such
 terms of payment and other con
 ditions as the Board may deem
 just and necessary to secure
 and maintain the service de-
 sired; and if any such steam
 ship line is deemed desirable
 and necessary, and if no such
 citizen can be secured to supply
 such service by the purchase or
 charter of vessels on terms sat
 isfactory to the board, the board
 shall operate vessels on such
 line until the business is de-
 veloped so that such vessels may
 be sold on satisfactory terms
 *"
 It will be noticed that the powe of the board to determine the ne' essity for establishing steamshi lines lTOlu pOIlS III lne Onlleu Sldtt or any Territory, District or pol session thereof. is limited by Sectio ' to such ports as have adequat terminal connections with rail ca riers," or where such connection will be made; and the power of tl Shipping Board to sell or chartt vessels to citizens of the Unite States, is limited to such citizens { will agree to establish and maintai such lines, WHERE ADEQUAT TERMINAL CONNECTIONS WIT RAIL CARRIERS CAN AND WILL BE MADE OR ALREADY EXIST This section is carefully and adroi iy drawn. probably by Mir. w.

the hearings before the Shipping | Board, for two reasons. (1 the av-
 craze shipper has not enough indi-
 vidual interest to justify the eX- pense, and CD fear of reprisals by
 the companies Transportation rates
 10 Alaska have constantly increased
 for several years past. The only
 check on these increases has been | the little Canadian competition there l is
 In the year 1919 the total freight { carried to and from Alaska ports 1 by common carriers, including that | carried by the Canadian lines, was 573,689 tons The total freight car
 ried to and from Alaska ports by Canadian lines was 16,871 tons, a trifle over 3It of the total This is the extent to which Canadian com petition threatens the extinction of
 the American lines up to the pres
 ent time; yet small as this Canadian
 tonnage is, it operates as a check
 upon the power of the American
 lines to arbitrarily raise their rates.
 It also affords the merchants of Southeastern Alaska opportunity for quick shipments of merchandise from the east when occasion requires. The extent to which Canadian lines at present compete with American lines is so trifling that it cannot be considered the reason for drafting Section 29, but potential compoti- ton creates the motive. It is this potential competition, however, that, prevents to a large extent further increases in freight rates. At theI present time there is no necessity for the inclusion of this section in the bill as far as Alaska is concern ed. On the other hand, Alaska needs this service; transportation is the great problem of the coun- try; what Alaska needs is more in-I stead of less service. When Can adian competition develops to such an extent as to threaten the exis- tence of American lines, if it eyerl should, will be the proper time forl the passage of such legislation. Such a situation does not exist today, TOT threaten to exist; but a monopoly is threatened and will be the result |, of the passage of this section
 The section should be amended i so as to exclude Alaska from it's provisions, or else stricken out. ItI was drawn for the express purpose of including Alaska, and as I shall further show, for the purpose of af- fording an opportunity to the pres ming to Alaska to monopoliZe the trade
