SETTLEMENT
 EXpEC'TEDIN
 PORT TIEUp
Government Action Need ed to Break Strdngle-
 hold on Shipping

A break in the longshore work stoppage throtuing Alaska ports is looked for soon, it was indicated in local shipping circles today. Just what form settlement is expected to take was not reported.
 The several angles to the current dispute are reported all to hinge upon government action.
 Issues upon which loneshoremen in Ketchikan, Juneau and other Alaska ports balk at discharglng Cargoes are:
 1.-Payment of 22 cents per hour increase awarded by the coastWlSe increment reached at San Fran cisco and confirmed by the nation wide shipping settlement at Wash- :ngton last month.
 2.-Payment of retroactive wages 10 January, 1914 adjusted by Prof. Vernon A. Mund, arbitrator in the dispute that tied up Alaska ports earlier this year.
 Local dock operators at Juneau- the Juneau Cold Storage Compaiiy and Alaska Coast Dock Company already have paid the retroactive wages awarded the longshoremen bv Mund. Ship operators running rhe lines under the jurisdiction of the War Shipping Administration, are awaiting approval by the VISA before they can consider them selves in position to make the pay ments.
 Neither the local dock operators or ship lines are yet paying the new longshorc rate-increased from S1.32 per base hour to S1.54- though dock operators here have contracted to pay the new rate as soon as compensatingly increased wharfage rates are approved by the Wage Stabilizqtion Board. Ship op- orators again are waiting upon VISA approval
 In the meantime, at least three vessels are inactive-all with need ed Southeast Alaska cargoes aboard at Ketchikan. Vessels reported there are the Northern Voyager and Sword Knot, with the Clovs Hitch, which sailed from Seattle Saturday, due to arrive there today
 Advioes are that the Alaska Line freighter Victoria will arrive II port here tonight and has beer instructed to tie up here unti the expected break comes.
 Also affected, indirectly, is the To- cal mail boat Estebeth. Besides lacking cargoes usually transhippeo here. longshoremen will work her only from the Alaska Coast or Cold Storage docks. The City Dock operated under the VISA by the Northland Transportation Company has not been signed to new scale contract.
 Also meantime, the situation re- garding Canadian Pacific Railway ships seems to have simmered dowr somewhat Under present condi tions, CPR ships will, it is indi cated, continue to make port here with longshoremen handling line and mail CPR passengers to ant from Juneau are limited to ham baggage.

THE HEALTH INSURANCE FIGHT

scribers have to get sick before they
Can collect the cash indemnity. 1t does
not increase the doctors opportunity
to protect health by practicing proven
tion--best accomplished by routine,
periodic physical examinations. There
is thus no provision for early diagnosis
and treatment, before symptoms de-
volop, when the chance for cure of
most disease is greatest.
Second, group insurance does not
give real security, because it doesn't
furnish complete protection. Surgical
expenses and hospital charges may be
the heaviest sickness costs, which the
worker is apt to remember longest, but
actually they represent only a fraction
Of What the average wage Garner
spends for medical care.
Bills for the services of a physician
in the home and in the doctors office
along with expenditures for drugs
cost a great deal more in the long run
Very few policies, however, give you
this kind of coverage.
Even for the items which most
group insurance plans include, protec
ton is limited. 1t has to be, or. else
the insurance companies would not
make their usual profits, which is the
reason they re in business.
