Where Service. Price and Quality Meet LARGEST SHIPPERS IN ALASKA!

ing on account of trimmings and replacement of rotten goods and the condition the commodities arrive here The steamship company passes the buck on to the War Ship ping Administration. we have yet to collect anything on perishable goods spoiled by the steamship company since the war started Taking into consideration the distance the com- modities are shipped from the time they leave orchards and farms until arrival here is between two or three weeks or more. We have paid as high as $1250 per crate for celery just short time ago. If it wasn't for the terrific loss in handling fresh vegetables we would be able to sell canned goods 15ao cheaper.
 T checked over very carefully the invoice of BPC February 18th and find the prices very fair and in fact, the prices on some of the commod- ities should have been charged higher. The last trip of the motor ship, Silver Wave, we received 5 crates of cantaloupes costing us S62.50. We salvaged at the most $4.0o out of the whole shipment and the balance was a total loss. 2
 'The fruit and vegetable business is headache no matter how you look at it. I have managed the fruit and produce department since 1923 and found that the only way one can run it is not from a swivel chair but by working at it. I know because I have tried it and it wouldn't work. It's the toughest business in the world to work at.
 If you have any questions or wish further information would ap- preciate your calling me at your earliest possible convenience as I am leaving very shortly for the south on combined business and medical trip. I plan on being away approximately two months. Or. if you prefer we may take the matter up upon my return"

We retailers must anticipate our wants from 10 days to two weeks due to boat sailings The boats are so overloaded with freight that they ire not given proper care as before Jhe war.
 Now we will go back to February 9f this year. The celery is shipped rom Florida sent to Seattle prob ably lays on dock for day or so, then shipped up here, and another four or five days on way. We then must 5eep it for another two weeks. This must be repacked for shipment and we will take 25a5 to 30Go loss on re- packing. The lettuce is shipped from Imperial Valley in iced cars to Seattle, then from Seattle to Ju- neau, taking from two to three weeks 1y the time we get them We in
 urn must repack this again taking rom 25qe to 30@5 loss in trimming. Cauliflower and cabbage are the anne. Carrots the shrinkage is ter rife, onions keep sprouting so that he loss in trimming and repacking will run from 15Ge to 20q6 and also replacement of rotten ones. Pota- oes are shipped in from Idaho due 70 scarcity of Yakima potatoes and the replacement of shrinkage and cullS will run from 159o to 20G5. Apple prices have been terrible. Never in history of grocery busi- ness have I seen prices so high. In the past few weeks we have paid S6.25 box FOB Seattle. The apples have been carelessly graded due to scarcity of labor at orchards. We then must repack them on account of replacement of rotten ones. The orange crop runs twice year; Navels, picked in November, Val encias picked in June. They must be kept in storage and shipped in refrigerated cars to Seattle and then to Juneau. The shrinkage in or anges and grapefruit will run from, l5% to 25%. We have over 130 boxes of oranges and grapefruit now and will take loss of 20q6 to 30% in shrinkage and replacement of rotten ones.
 There are other things that we have to face besides loss in repack-

GEORGE BROS. SAY PRICES CHARGED
 WERE NOT UNFAIR
More than B Percent Loss in Produce Shipped
 10 Juneau

George Brothers, Juneau grocerS now facing an OPA suit for an al- legged overcharge on shipments of produce to a Skagway contractor, said today that due to war condit- ions the loss in shipments of pro- duce to Juneau from the points of origin has been found to be more than B percent in shrinkage, re- packing and trimming, and for that reason the price schedules set by the OPA on such produce may not be applied here as in the States
 The company said the OPA office in Juneau had been informed of this in a letter sent July 26, but that the letter had not been acknowledg- ed by the OPA. The letter. writ ten by Joe George, partner, fol- lows:
 T was quite surprised to find that the USED refused to pass on the in- voice of BPC, dated February 18th, because of prices. It so happened at different times while I had been trimming vegetables for display, I had called MT. Fagersons attention to our loss in trimming. At times have found the loss to us to be over 3396. The other day I had taken your employee down to our warehouse to show him the loss we will take in repacking of oranges. Conditions here in this country are different than the States. The re- taller outside can order his goods every morning and it is delivered to him free of charge the same day.

An employer can't refuse to take
back man just by saying he had
meant to discharge the man before
his induction. And he can't evade
his responsibilities by firing him just
before he enters the service, AS the
Unemployment Division says:
"In cases where this is unjust to
the employer, he is suffering only
the same type of loss as he does
when selling goods on credit to
customer already in unsound finan-
cial condition"
If an employer has reorganized his
plant so a veterans old job has dis
appeared, he still has to take the
veteran back If the employer is able
to afford employment and the vet
eran is able to work. Unreasonable

only extenuatlng circumstance.
A labor union cannot exclude a
man from unemployment by having
negotiated a closed shop or imposed
some other rule in his absence, since
private agreements or contracts can
