y Coincident with the meeting Of the
committee to wrestle anew with the
bonus question, statement was made
by white house officials that many let

this time Of bonus legislation, while
the legislative committee Of the Amer
lean Legion made public a telegram to
the president from the Legion's ma
tional commander, Hanford MacNi-

longer deferred.
The letters reaching the president
opposing enactment at this time Of
bonus legislation greatly outnumber
those favoring immediate legialation,
it is said ct the white house. Some Of
the opposition letters, however, show
a similarity in form.

TRADER OBJECTS TO TARIFF;
 WILL SHIP VIA YUKON RIVER

Sam Dubin, well known trader. who is interested ia 2 chain of stores on the hoyukuk river, acquir- cd last year from the Northern Com mercial Companr. arrived n Nerana yesterday from Fairbanks to make necessary arrangements in the mat ter of handling freight for the sever al stores n which he is interested, which will be landed al Eeaaaa via the Alaska Railroad.
 For the purpose of transporting this freight 10 the points named. Mir, Dubin recently purchased the steamer Teddy H. and two barges. The steamer is commanded 5v Capt. Andy Livingstone, formerly Of the White Pass service, and has a full crew Of certified engineers and officers.
 Mr. Dubin told 2 representative ot The News this morning that ke has 136 tons Of freight in the railroad warehouse here awaiting shipment to the Koyukuk and that this will be taken by the Teddy H. as soon as she has completed a round trip to the Kantishna with a load of freight for that district. He has additional shipments Of approximately eighty tons for later shipment which he will arrange to have shipped to his store al the mouth of the Koyukuk river by way of St. Michael, al a lower rate than is obtainable on shipments coming over the Alaska Railroad.
 h explanation of this. m., Dublin stated that the water ard rail rate, from Seattle to Nerara, via the Alaska Railroad, of $42.00 per ton appeared to be somewhat mythical, as the 136 tons shipped in via that route cost him al the rate of s51.36 per ton, 10 which must be added the cost of the long haul to the Koyu- kuk; whereas, he says, the White Pass quotations, by way-of St. Mich ael, give him rate of s44.00 per ton, Seattle to the mouth of the Koyukuk river, with much shorter haul to destination. He had intend ed making Nenana his headquarters and having all freight shipped via the Alaska Railroad; and he also probably would have .wintered his boat here. but in view Of the sub stantial difference in freight rates, he has concluded that t vii! be poo- business on his part to put his ear Her intentions into effect. He will make other arrangements unless 2

radical change is made in railroad tariffs, precluding rhe possibility of competition by way Of the lower Yukon.
 Mir. Dub;n is also of the opinion. as the result of observations and in- quiry. that a large quantity of freight, which might be routed by way of Nenana, will be diverted to the St Michael route as a result of the difference in rates on the two routes, and thinks that commercial bodies of the Interior towns should look in-o the matter and take early action to bring about more desirable conditions.
