 A clipping received this week by The Sentinel and which appeared in the Seattle Post-Intelligeneer of January 28, takes exception to an editorial in The Sentinel in the Jan. I17 edition. The article in the P-I was written by Charles Regal and says:
 'Alaskans are still peeved over Seattle dock storage charges on AL aska freight ruling the recent shipping strike.
 Earlier protests by Alaska mer- chants and territorial officials were followed by a sharp editorial blast in The Wrangell Sentinel. fl; was learned here yesterday.
 Declaring Alaskans are pay ing through the nose to the bene- fit of Seattle" the Alaska news paper objected strongly to demur- rage charges of 2 cents a day per ton on strikebound freight and urged Alaskans to support Prince Rupert as their new trade route.
 "Spurred by these and other complaints on Seattle-Alaska rela- tions, the Alaska committee of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday reviewed the whole troubled situa- tion at a meeting with business and shipping officials.
 "In defense of the demurrage charges, c. A. Cooper, assistant manager of Arlington Dock Com pany, said they were made in ac- eordance with long-standing tar if covering cargo stored on docks longer than a so-ealled To-day "free-period.
 We fulfilled our responsibil- ities in maintaining watchmen to protect the freight Cooper said. If any freight had been damaged or short on the dock we'd have been expected to pay for it. The charge is listed right in the tariff and has been for a long time
 'The dock company supplies berthing and pier facilities at Pier 56 for ships of Northland Trans portation Company.
 Spokesmen for Alaska SteamshiD Company and Alaska Transporta- tion Company said no demurrag5 was charged at their piers during the strike period
 Without naming any particular company, the Alaska newspaper ed- itorial declared:
 " Apparently the dock companies of the Queen City, which supply Alaska, aren't taking any loss - nor are the unions for whose bene- fit the strike was called. It's Alas kans who not only took losses, but appear now to be footing the bill.
 Asserting this should be the last straw the editorial conclud ed bitterly:
 "'We hope Wrangell's merch- ants will not only join those Of Juneau in protesting the unfair demurrage charges, but further, that we will all get back of and support the new trade route through Prince Rupert - due to start operations in March-and let Seattle sit and 'sweat.''

ACTING MAYOR REPORTS
 PLEN1Y OF WATER IN DAM

l Acting Mayor Olaf Hansen and | Istre=t superintendent Leth Mea- Gows akied mp to the city dam this week and came back reporting that 4espite the present cold snap and many faucets being left open to prevent freezing pipes, ther Is plenty of water on hand
 They reported lots of snow up there and a successful trip - MT. Meadows emphasizing that he was on skis at least part of the time. City Council at its meeting last night in the Fire Hall relieved Forrest Stephens of his duties as Chief of Police and appointed Ed Dick to succeed him. Reasons given were Stephens operated slot mach ines and Council had received number of complaints about him from citizens. Stephens is at pres ent in the south.
 Louis Paul appeared, in behalf of Mrs Paul. to protest City talk ing over more of Mrs. Pauls pro perty for a roadway on lower SLik- inc avenue than called for in anI easement granted the city Matter was taken under adyisement
 Leth Meadows reported on the street situation sayng that two of the machines used for removing snow had broken down and were awaiting repair. It was also brought out by Council that per sons who shovel snow from their roofs must disposed of the snow as it constitutes a hazard when piled in streets or alleys. Cow Alley Was pointed out as an example where fire trucks could not get through in case of fire.
 Carl Bradley and Loyal Binhey appeared to ask the Council to put in a road on Shustak Point to l. site on the channel where they plan to put in a small cold storage plant, Council pointed out that they must get an easement from prOpery owners and after this was accomplished the City would do all in it's power to help them with water supply, construction, etc.
 Deputy Marshal Jack Krepps, appearing for the Junior Chamber of Commerce, asked the City's per mission to put up street signs on all main streets, the Junior Cham Der furnishing signs and materiai. krepps offered to bring a sample of the signs to the next Council tl that they were sure there Wouia would be no obJecuons as long as the City Treasury was not dls tdrDeu.
 A letter was read rom the tele- puUne cOnpdny asnlug the city f1l be responsible for the up-keep 5l Jue tclephone on the CraD Cannery float. IL pointed out that yandala continually destroyed the phone box or stole batteries, demonsh the h. strument, etc. City decided to take responsibility of the up-keep ana build a suitable booth as the phone is necessary there in case of fire.
 An amendment to Ordinance 5e, Section l3 was read the first time which had to do with payment of penalty on delinquent taxes. IL seems this particular clause Was omitted from Wrangelis present ordinance.
 City Clerk Margaret Bronson re- ported tests of WrangelIs water received from Ketchikan showed the water supply to be pure.

Thanks to the P-I for letting people of Seattle know how we feel up here about things.
 Perhaps some dock companies didn't charge the demurrage but Wrangells merchants paid them and if some did charge and some didn't that complicates the situa. tlon that much more. MT. Cooper points out above a long-standing tariff covering cargo STORED on docks longer than 10 days"
 Alaska merchandise at the time was not STORED - it was im- pounded. At least, as we said be- fore, all efforts to recover it from the dock were futile.
 As for the Prince Rupert route. T. might be of benefit to the Seat Ie Chamber of Commerce if they would check prices to merchants In Wrangell from Seattle and from Canada: For instance, from one of our merchants records, which we are copying from right now let's ask - why are Wenatchee apples $2.5O box from Canada and $4.5O a box from Seattle? Why are Can adian eggs 37 cents a dozen as a. against S1 cents from Seattle; Cal 1fornia oranges $500 a case from Canada as against $5.15 from Seat tle and American cheese, shipped through Canada, less than half what it costs from Seattle? And these items through Canada are all tagged with double duty - and still cost less.
 On top of the above comes a de- mand for 35 per cent increase

Dan gets an idea: wait a minuter' he saws
to Kitty. "Johmie's making the rounds by

trot around with him. We could stay here"

Kitty goes over and pats him on the shoul-

She's back in half an hour, leading kid by

face, and her twin. Bobby, is pirate with a
black mustache that won't stay on Dan pats
them both on the head and pours half a
pound of candy into each of their paper bags.

angrily - "and if she's pulling a garbage
truck today, it's fine with me-"
Dan now feels like lifting the little guy up
by the coat collar and shaking him. ANY
thing good said or implied is hereby retracted,
you little rat, he states "And now here we
are at Headquarters. III book you for a
burglary rap, and sure hope the D.A. can
make 1t stick, if only to make up for what you
did to that poor filly, Glad Princess" 90.
All this happens the first week in October,
and by the end of the month, when Roger the
Runt's trial is set to come up. it looks as
though Dan would get his wish, and Glad
Princess, wherever she happens to be, her
revenge. Roger is held without bail. So he's
safe and snug in the city prison. The DA has
a sme-fire case - there's Dan to swear Roger
drops out of the jewelry-store transom, and
there are the stolen rocks on Rogers person;
and if all this isn't enough, there are his finger
prints all over the glass showcases inside.
A conviction is in the bag and Dan feels
pretty good this evening as he drops in to see
his mouse, Kitty.
He kisses her first, then drops some pack
ages on the table. Il got six pounds of Hal
loween candy" he says happily, land ten
dozen chocolate cookies. Do you think it's
enough?"
Its enough to spread stomach-ache cpl
demic all over town" replies Kitty.

kid that won't swap nights fun on Hallow-
cen for stomach ache, will grow up to be
mean guy like that Roger the Runt As say
to the Inspector this afternoon, next to Christ

I'VE amt going out tonight, protests Dan.
We'll do Just like last year. Well stay here,
and the kids in costume will come around
in droves, and we'll pour the candy and stuff
into their paper bags" He chuckles loudly.
Il sure get a kick out of them little tykes
with the false faces. It makes me feel like
kid again.
"And act like one," says Kitty. Il don't
want to spoil your fun, but promised my
cousin Ethel we'd go out tonight"
"Halloween's not a visiting night" says
Dan. Tonight belongs to the kids
We're not visiting" explains Kitty.
Ethel is laid up with the grippe, and her
twins want to 60 around the neighborhood.
But they're only six, and Ethel thinks they're
too young to 60 alone So said we'd trail

he gets into the middle of the street to direct

corner on two wheels and it bears down on the
guy in the street at taM's customary three

than plenty.
Dan doesn't waste any time thinking. He

neat flying tackle, and ends up at the oppo-
site curb, carrying the traffic -diracting come
dian with him. The taxi comes to squealing
stop, and Dan gets up and dusts himself off,

fool But at the moment have my hands

He LIMPS back across the street, and there
is Roger the Runt waiting patiently to be
arrested again. Roger" says Dan, nodding
his head at the little guy. Il never think
will say anything good about you since you
keep Glad Princess from winning that day.
But maybe you're not complete louise, after
all. 1t you'd done run out on me Just now
while l am saving that drunk's life, it would
be most embarrassing"
WELL" sighs Roger sadly "for moment

do me one: Stop talking about that Glad

She's no-good filly."
II ADMIT Glad Princess is washed up after
that race you threw" comedies Dan. Her
spirit is gone from then on, and she's finally
retired from the tracks. But personally,
think you ruin her that day. Glad Princess
knows she can win that race by five lengths,
and you hold her in; it breaks her racing
heart so that she can never run again."
You don't get it at ALL" says Roger the
Runt. Il call Glad Princess no-good filly
because she fights me every yard of the way
in that race, and I'm afraid at one time she
will get the bit in her teeth and win, despite
anything can do. So if I break her heart I'm
glad of it, because she breaks up my career.
She makes me look like such heel that day,
I'm brought up on charges and barred from
the tracks. Glad Princess ruins very sweet
racket for me" - Rogers small eyes flash

p1AnqeIo's Return

Citizens of Toledo who are interested
in securing and maintaining good govern
ment will welcome the return of Edward
DeAngelo to the safety directors post
which he resigned one year ago after
serving with honor and distinction for
six years.
Despite the political implications
which are inherent in any appointment
in our city government, nobody can take
it away from Ed DeAngelo that he was
one of the best, if not the best safety
director that this city has ever had. His
return to his former post in the city ad-
ministratiOn not only is tribute TO his
personal honesty and integrity, but guar
antee that our safety department will be
operated at a high degree of efficiency.
We believe that we echo the senti-
ments of the majority of the workers of
Toledo when we say that we welcome
back Ed DeAngelo to his former post
and wish him success in his future efforts
to IIaa the police and fire depart

Prices And Wages

/ think the JOURNAL should
be complimented for the way
it has handled the significance
of the price-wage problem and
It's insight into what makes
our economy tick, or fail to
tick, as the case might be.
Those of us who work In
the plants know what a strug-
gle it has been in trying to
make both ends meet on the
wages which we are now re-
ceiving. We also know that
the answer to the economic
problem is not to raise wages
and prices at the same time,
but rather to raise wages and
hold prices down. I know the
problem isn't as simple as it
sounds, but sooner or later
those who are now reaping
the profits must trim their sails
or we will land in another
crash worse than the one
which ended when the last
war began.
Keep on writing economic
sense and maybe, who knows,
the workers might become ed
ucated enough to realize that
only by sticking to their
unions and acting in unity
can greater security be won.
Fraternally yours,
