 Protection Given

With Alaska bound shipping still tied tightly to the Seattle docks, Alaska communities through their Chambers of Commerce today join- ed the efforts of Gov. John w. Troy to obtain assistance from Federal authorities in breaking the jam, caused by the longshoremen'S strike in Pacific Coast ports, as far as it affects shipping to the Territory.
 Juneau, Ketchikan and Anchor- age have wired President Roosevelt, Secretary Ickes and Delegate Di- mond urging immediate interven- tion. From Seattle Mayor John Dore telegraphed Secretary Ickes urging that Federal troops be sent there to guard non-union workers so Alaska vessels might be loaded and dispatched.
 Ickes Wires Troy
 Gov. Troy early yesterday even- ing, received a radiogram from Secretary Ickes saying he had tele- graphed both Gov. Martin of Wash ington and Mayor Dore. This was in response to the message sent by the Governor to Secretary Ickes Monday afternoon. At the time of the latter's reply he had not re- ceived Gov. Troy's urgent message sent early Tuesday.
 Advices received here by the Gov- ernor and others said the situation was unchanged There are many vessels tied up in Elliott Bay await ing break in the conditions. All efforts to load and dispatch them has been suspended as none of the operators care to risk the attempt without protection which Seattle officials frankly admit they cannot give.

One of them was sent to President Roose- welt, placing before him the critical nature of the strike as it affects the entire Territory. He was asked
