CHAMBER URGES ACTION
 TO ADJUST MERCHANT CLAIMS

In an effort to assist Wrangell and Alaska merchants in getting action on claim adjustments pend ing with the transportation comp auies. Wraugel Chamber of Com merce at its luncheon meeting yes terday voted to urge action by the Territorial Chamber as representa- tive of the entire Territory Inform ation was presented to the Chamber that claims running into thousands of dollars have been largely unpaid for nearly two years, the hitch ap- parenuy being with the War Ship ping Board, which actually operates the vessels, rather than with the transportation companies. Under the war emergency. WSB directs move ment of all commercial vessels into Alaska. Transportation companies. as a result are hamstrung from do- ing anything without WSB ap- provaL
 For example, vessel might leave Seattle with a shipment of perish ables for Wrangell. Before arriving here, WSB might direct her to some. other port on some war mission and thence back ito Seattle without ev- CT touching here.
 Perishables would spoil and the merchant would put in his claim, as has been done in countless in- stances, but nothing happens. Mean while, merchant orders new supply and holds the sack in claims. Ter ritorial action is being urged by the Chamber to see why claims cannot be adjusted.
 Small boat owners whose vessels were requisitioned have been in much the same quandry but report is that adjustments are now being made.
 Chamber passed a resolution en-. dorsing the suggestion of Delegate Dimond to the U. S Maritime Com mission that the late Bishop Peter Trimble Rowe and Dr Sheldon Jackson be honored in theMaritime Commission's plan to name some of the new Liberty ships for eminent @aio9h1Ao. JOHH M. Cdi lhouy Oudl man of the Commission, had inform ed the Delegate such plan was in mind and the Delegate offered the name of Bishop Rowe and pr. Jack son, pioneer missionaries whose great work in pioneer days are well known in the north. Chamber action supported the Delegate.
 Due to conflicting holiday dates, Novemner meetings of the Chamber will be held on November 4 and Is.

ing the Smith Connally Act as not
only IAN attack against labor's pa

national unity and hence upon the

this week voted unanimously to
call upon Congress to repeal this
anti-labor law.
The resolution passed by the
delegates also denounced the Hobbs
Bill now pending in the Senate as
aimed at making possible the
prosecution Of unions for legitimate
activities. and condemned all "sim-
liar bills to hamstring labor unions
which have been introduced in
Congress by q number of Congress
men "who want to turn the war on
the American people"
The convention described all
proposals which interfere with the
operations Of labor unions as dan
gerous to democracy and to the
war effort" and urged that they be
defeated.
All CLIO affiliates were reminded
Of the "need to carry on an In
