 menf Agencies Blamed

No freight for Juneau will be ac- cepted at Seattle by the Alaska Steamship Company pending com- plete stabilization of the present unsettled longshore situation here
 Advice to that effect was receiv- ed here today py Alaska Line Agent Horace C. Adams in wire from Halton N. Peterson, the lines traf- fic manager. Peterson's wire from Seattle states:

 The three-day truce under which local longshorsmen have been dis charging freight from the North land Transportation Companys North Sea, the Alaska Transporta- tion Company's Tongass and the Alaska Lines Glove Hitch and AL aska, will expire at 8 o'clock am. : Friday.
 Agents here of. the Alaska Trans portation Company and the North land Transportation Company. up until this afternoon, had not been advised that their lines also plan to embargo JItieau cargoes.
