said:
 We believe the commission should at once revise the contract, require consolidation of Alaska Steam and Northland, and permit Alaska Steam and Alaska Trans pOrtation to serve all of Alaska"
 His argument came at the con- cluding session of a tWo-day con- ference called to consider a com plaint of Alaska Transportation against Northland.
 Officials of Alaska Steamship and NOrthland denied contentious of the other company, but also said they were tired of the interim service and wanted a return to a purely commercial basis.
 Ralph Rivers, attorney general of Alaska, criticized present oper- ations and also urged consolida- ton of Alaska Steamship and Northland.
 The interim agreement restricts Alaska Transportation and North land to serve Southeast Alaska and Alaska Steamship to serve western Alaska. Alaska TranSpor- tation contends Northland viOlat- ed this.
 J. A. Talbot, Alaska TranSporta- tion's agent at Ketchikan, testified that during the last summer, after he had agreed with cannery man agers that his company would take out their salmon pack, they noti- fled him at the last moment that the business had been given to Alaska Steamship.
 He charged Alaska Steamship brought pressure upon the can 1 nery owners to force them to use its service. He testified some can- neries also had branches in west ern Alaska, served by Alaska Steamship, and said in one in- stance the manager of an eastern Alaska canner was told by Alaska Steamship if he did not ship by it his workers would not be taken out at the end of the season.
 Gilbert s. Skinner, president of Alaska Steamship denied his com pany had used any influence to

cause the Southeastern Alaska cannery managers to refuse Alas ka Transportation business.
 Norton Clapp, President of Alas ka Transportation, and other off cials of the company urged the commission to set aside the inter i'm operation agreement, require Northland to consolidate with Alaska Steamship and permit op- eration of the two to all parts of the Territory.

STRANGE THINGS MAY HAP

New York, N. Y. Now that the
Brooklyn Dodgers have broken the
Jim crow ice in the major leagues
by hiring Jackie Robinson, some
thing strange seems to be looming
on the baseball horizon. Rumor
has it that some of the western
clubs are planning to come up with
a Negro player. Some credence
letting the East get ahead of them
in doing things, not even when it
gets under their jimcrow pride.
So look for anything to happen
now that the major league color
bar has been broken down.
This writer predicted half a doz-
en- years ago that if and when a
Negro entered the majors it would
be by way of the Brooklyn Dod-
gers.
Watch for the next Negro play

Cincinnati Reds or the st. Louis
