THE SHIPPING EMERGENCY
Juneau Empire)

Yesterdays grist of news anent
the Pacific Coast longshoremen's
strike is most disheartening to Al
aska. The situation casts a pail of
gloom over the entire Territory. In
a word, the striking unions, dis
regarding all considerations of hui
manity with the specious plea that
the operators have caused the dis
aster that confronts Alaska, have
blocksded Alaska, cut it off from
it's base of food, clothing, medi-
cines, supplies, equipment and ma
terials for its industries, just as abb
solutely as if a foreign enemy had
laid seige to us and held us con-
fined with its ships and guns. That
is exactly the effect of the strikers
vote not to permit any more ship
ping of any kind from Puget Sound
ports to territorial waters.
The delegates proclaim there is
no emergency because Southeast
Alaska is served by two Canadian
steamship lines. In that pronounce
President of the International Long
shoremen's Association. Even if that
were true, and it is not, the emer-
gency would still exist. Since last
September four ports in Southeast
Alaska-Ketchikan, Wrangell, Ju-
neau and Skagway have had meager
service from one Canadian company.
The Canadian Pacific all during the
winter operated a small vessel on
a To-day schedule. Its cargo and
passenger-carrying accommodations
are insufficient to serve either Ket-
chikan or Juneau with all other
means of transport cut off. Not I'M
til the middle of June will the sec
ond company-The Canadian Nat
ional-enter this field and then
only to cater to tourist trade. The
Canadian Pacific does transport
mail, but the Canadian National
does not. Each of them will oper-
ate but single vessel weekly and
this is far from sufficient tonnage
to keep the towns on the route sup
piled with supplies even if all bar
riers are removed
The greatest barrier is credit
accommodations for commerce. Al
aska's incoming commerce is based
upon upon credit arrangements
built up over the past 35 years be-
tween Alaskan merchants and those
of Puget Sound cities. 1t is a thing
that cannot be arranged overnight.
Without it, commerce can be car
ried on only on a limited scale. The
whole idea that Southeast Alaska
can get along on service from Cana
dian lines and obtain it's supplies
from Canadian sources is so fantas-
The Wrangell sentinel., 1934-06-08

tic and impraeticable 1t would be
laughable if it were not such a
life and death matter.
Nor is Southeast Alaska the only
section of the Territory affected by
the blockade. West and north of
the Panhandle lies most of Alaska.
Every inhabitant in it is dependent
for most of the food, all of the
clothing and medicine they use,
upon the operations of the vessels
that the strikers have tied up.
There is no possible way in which
they can utilize Canadian shipping.
Their plight is too desperate to con-
template with equanimity.
Despite the lightly-made asser-
tions of the striking unions that
does exist so grave in nature as to
endanger Alaska's existence IL it's
cause is not removed and the situa-
ton remedied. 1t has two phases.
The first, of course, is lack of sup
plies necessary for maintaining
healthful human life. There isn't
town or settlement in the entire
Territory that does not face
shortage of food. From all sections
appeals have come to Gov. Troy to
do something" And in answer to
his appeal on behalf of the people
of Alaska, the strikers Enthusiastically
respond, tell it to the operators,
they caused it."
The second phase of the emer-
gency is equally as serious and more
far-reaching than the first. For a
time most of us can live off the re-
sources of the country, although the
youngest must inevitably suffer
from malnutrition. But If our in
dustries are forced to close down,
as is unavoidable if there is no re-
lief furnished, we cannot longer
continue as an organized society.
We shall be deprived of our sources
of revenue, as individuals and as
a governmental unit. Without in
come, our businesses and our gov
eminent must cease to function.
That is the picture Gov. Troy has
painted to operators and strikers
alike. 1t is not exaggerated. 1t is
impossible to exaggerate it.
The operators. at least those con-
nected with Alaskan shipping, have
informed the Governor they are
willing to accept the demands. But
the unions will not deal with them.
They will deal only with all of the
coastal shipping as a unit, or with
none at all.
The strikers, arguing that the
conditions do not exist, retort even
if they do, they are caused by the
operators. In the words of Cain they
seek to shift the responsibility to
another and deny they are their
brothers keeper.
We think the issue has been
drawn finely enough now for the
Government to intervene. II the
operators of vessels normally ply
ing between Puget Sound and Alas
ka are willing to accede to the
strikers demands. and they have
said they are, then they should be
permitted to operate even though
the interests centered in Los Ange-
les, San Francisco and other ports
are not. Seattle shipping men can
not be held responsible for the ac-
tions and decisions of Los Angeles
and San Francisco. Neither should
Alaska be made to suffer absolute
ruin because the strikers cannot
compel the southern operators to
accept their terms. Government in
PREVENTION seems to be the only So
luton. 1t should be no longer de-
layed.
