 RATE CASE
Says Regular Shipping Lines Threatened by

Continued from Page One)
The Daily Alaska empire., 1947-10-30

(COnUnUeq rom EdBe OIltj Steamship Company, Northland Transportation Company, and the Alaska Transportation Company are Alaska shippers under the in terim contract.
 Cross Examination
 Attorneys for the three lines cross examined witnesses today on testimony entered Monday and Tuesday. with Alaska Steamship and Northland on one side and Alaska Transportation on the other.
 Ira Ewers. Alaska Steamship at torney, explained that he was trying to test the integrity Of the exhibits.
 Skinner, who was on the stand good part of yesterday, was questioned at length by Albert E. stephan, attorney for Alaska Transportation Stephan brought out testimony to show that Alaska Steamship ard Northland are owned and controlled by Skinner and his associates.
 Ewers and Attorney Stanley B. Long, also representing Alaska, frequently objected to Stephan's line of inquiry, asserting it was irrevelant.
 In several instances, Examiner c. w. Robinson sustained the ob- jections, asking all parties to stick to the rate issue.
 Nathan Jacobson, Secretary Treasurer of the Marine Cooks and Stewards (CIO), testified that the steamship companies created i'm possible situations with the crews of their passenger ships by disput- ing legitimate overtime claims, causing numerous port committee meetings and in some instances barely averting delays or tieups of their ships.
 Tn my opinion. they were trying to build up a high labor cost in order to show case for a rate increase" Jacobson said.
 Both CIO unions are intervenors in the case and are attempting to show that the increased rates are unjust and unreasonable.
 Juneau Case
 fto CTn Tnno- shore Union said freight handling costs in Alaska are high because steamship companies serving the Territory have not installed modern cargo handling facilities at Alaska ports. The speaker was Germain Bulcke of San Francisco, second vice president of the International Longshoremen and Warehousemen's Union.
 Bulcke said longshore gangs in Alaska ports would turn out more work if the companies installed modern mechanical equipment and work methods, and utilized man. power properly.
 Under cross examination, the C1O official cited lack of cargo- handling lift trucks on the Juneau docks. Said Bulcke: That kind of method is in my opinion deliber- ate effort to set a pattern Of high CT cost to justify the setting of higher freight rates for Alaska" The union official also described longshore methods in Alaska as "antiquated, ill-planned and grossly nlis-managed."
