DOCK COMPANIES CHARGE DEMURRAGE ON FREIGHT
 HELD UP BY STRIKE

JUNEAU - Local merchants were mp in arms today over bills for demurrage they have been receiving. along with freight bils covering shipments on the steamers North Sea and Alaska. These bills include demurrags charges for freight which has been tied up on Seattle docks all through the long maritime strike. Before shippers here are permitted to take delivery of their freight, they are required to pay the attached demurrages charges.
 These charges were imposed by the dock companies in Seattle and range in most cases from 3 to 100 days. The charge amounts to two cents per ton per day.
 Merchants were particularly bit- ter about these charges inasmucn as they had found it impossible to reclaim from the docks in Seattle freight which had been deliyedel there. SMany merchants sought to regain possession of their ship laents there in order to route them via Prince Rupert during the strike. Although they were not able to get the cargo off the docks 1t now appears they were expected to continue paying demurrage all through the long strike.
 Representative of the Board of Directors of the Juneau Merchants Association met here Wednesday afternaon to idscuss the matter with Governor Ernest Gruenins and other officials. It vas decided that the bills for demurrage will be collected and tOtaled and a pro test against the imposing of these charges filed with the U. $. Mari time Commission which, on Janu- ary 22, will open a hearing at seattle on terminal charges there.
 Clyde Smith, President of the Juneau Merchants Associatton, de- clared local merchants considered lhe demurrage charges wholly un- justified in view of the reason for the demurrage, namely, that the goods were impounded due to a labor dispute over which Alaskans Ead no control whatsoever.
 This is one of the many reasons nny they, the merchants of AL
 ska, are aggressiYely supporting . new source of supply which win be permanent and reuglar," Smith said.
 , Other ports of Alaska are being contacted through their Merchants AssociatiOns on this sane matter. Another source of grievance ex- pressed by merchants at their meeting was the matter of stand by charges on merchandise being delivered at the docks in Seattle and amounting to as high as S26 on single S0O-pound shipment. In many cases the trucking charges at Seattle amounted to more than the freight between Seattle and Ju- neau.

MARITIME COMMISSION DENIES RATE INCREASES
 TO ALASKA Ss LINES

JUNEAU The U. S. Maritime Commission Tuesday entered an order denying all rate increases requested by steamship lines serv- ing Alaska. This decision followed the recommendation of the exam iner who heard the case in Seattle and Washington, D. c.
 War Shipping Administration and operating companies h a d petitioned for increases up to one hundred per cent.
 The Alaska Development Board retained David D. Scoll as counsel to oppose any increases. Governor Ernest Gruening hailed the out come as an important victory for Alaskans and shippers. He declared that this result could never have been achieved unless the Develop ment Board had entered the case energetically and stated. this de- eisiOn is the first in history in favor of the people of Alaska in a case of this kind and may be at tributed to the fact that the De- yelopment Board stood ready to defend Alaska against increases which would have disrupted our economy and made future develop ment difficult, if not impossible"
 George SundbOrg, General Maa- ager of the Development Board, said that in addition to Scoll, others to whom great credit was due for the outcome included Al torney General Ralph Rivers, Don O'Conner and George Rogers, for merly with OPA.
 Savings to Alaska shippers to date, due to the successful opposi- tion to requested increases, are es- timated at eights million dollars.
