 Of Transportation Situation I'm Alaska
REAR ADMIRAL BENSON DECIDES ON INQUIRY FOLLOWING HEARING INTO
 FREIGHT RATES CHARGED PULP co.

SEATTLE Wah 7Rear Admiral w. S. Benson, Chairman the United Shipping declared that will order Alaskan transportation question provided he retains Shipping Beard when reorgand by members by the Harding Administration according special Washington despatch today by the Seattle Times
The Alaska daily empire., 1921-05-07

The announcement followed a hearing regarding difference in freight rates on wood pulp shipped by the Alaska Pulp and Paper Com pany from its plant at Speel River near Juneau as compared with rates charged a British Columbia concern.
 Testimony at the hearing indi cated that a nine dollar ton rate had been charged the Alaska product as against four dollars for the Canadian. Representatives of the Alaska and Pacific steamship com panies testified that the higher rates because the steamship companies were unable at the time the rate was quoted to estimate the size of the bundles. When this informa ton was forthcoming, they said, the rate was reduced to five dollars.
 Delegate Dan Sutherland had in troduced a memorial asking investi gation of the matter.
 Admiral Benson declined today to fix date for the inquiry on the whole transportation situation but indicated it would be in the near future.
 Pulp Plant Closed.
 Claiming that the low price of pulp, $35.00 a ton, coupled with freight charges that total $12.40 on every dry ton landed at Seattle makes 1t impossible to operate at q profit, the Alaska Pulp and Paper Company this week decided to close temporarily their Speel River plant.
 Official of the company said they were willing to mark time for a while, or until conditions adjust themselves so that operations will agcin be possible.
 One Shipment Made.
 Starting actual operations a few months ago the company has now cbout 300 tons of pulp on hand and had made one shipment of a hun dred tons to the South.
 Several employees of the Alaska Pulp and Paper Company arrived in the city yesterday on the mail boat Pheasant. The Anita Phillips left today to bring the rest of the force to Juneau.
