Discrimination Against
 Alaska SaWmillsi

A leading Alaska sawmill has called attention to an unjust and discriminatory practice, in- voiving shipments over Canadi- an lines into the United States and has asked The Timberman to cooperate in correcting this unfair situation.
 The communication says Our Alaska mills are badly hampered in our attempt to get into the markets in the Twin Cities and eastward by reason of the fact that the Merchant Ma rine Act of 1920, generally known as the Jones Act, ex- cludes Alaska from the privi- legeS enjoyed by the rest of the United States in shipping over Canadian lines of transporta- tion.
 Section 27 prohibits the use of foreign ships in transporting American goods between Am erican points and has this pro- viso attached.
 (The famous section 27, which was slipped in while Delegate George B. Grigsby was "sick" in San Francisco, was here inserted in the article-Editorial note).
 You will note that this sec tion established the right to ship freight from one part of the United States to another part of the United States over Canadian rail and over the wa ter part of such routes by for elgn vessels. Alaska is eXclud- ed from equal rights with the rest of the United States. We are prohibited from enjoying the right of shipping through Prince Rupert and thereby los- ing a very strategic means of shipping.
 "We have wired our delegate to Congress, Dan Sutherland, in Washington, to introduce a bill whereby Alaska may be allowed the same privileges as the rest of the United States"
 The Timberman can conceive of no good reason why the saw mill operators of Alaska should have closed against them any Canadian gateway which is available to the mills of the United States, and is pleased to be of assistance in calling the attention of congress to this discrimination which has a tendency to restrict the devel- opment of the lumber industry in that rich storehouse of na- tural resources.
