SHIPOWNERs ALASKA BOATS
 SAY AGREEMENTS EXTENDED

Steamship companies engaged in the Alaska service have arrived at a verbal understanding with all maritime unions whereby agree ments have been extended for an other year, so there should be nc difficulties on this account after Sep tember 30, according to word re- ceiYed yesterday by local agents from Seattle shipowners.
 The threat of interruption of boat service by maritime strikes in the event that the agreements which expire on September 30, would not be extended for another year, led many of the local mer- chants to stock as heavily on staple goods as their warehouse space per mitted. However it is not possible to lay in stocks to suffice for more than a few weeks without boat ser vice.
