 The Lifeline Committee was formed last June when the strike ot the Sailors Union of the Pa clfiC halted most Ot the shipping 10 Alaska. The Chamber prcsi- dent said in a statement that the CnanJCr is not commenting on, or taking a position rcgaru- ing the issues and OUjectiVeS in the present tic-up. We are serI- ousIy alarmed by the threat It brings to Sulpplng, maritime Op- crationS and waterfront employ mcnt in Seattle.
 Public attention must be Io- cussed on the fact that this tIe-up inN olives operations oI all ship ping lines. including A Ia $ k a Steamship Company CoastWIsc Lines, Alaska Freight Lines and Ocean Van Lines, shipping 10 Alaska. There is every reason to expect that in the face of such a situation, prcssures both from Alaska and from supplcrs and distributors in the states will be brought to bear on carriers to move their terminal operations from Seattle to ports not having the continued record of disrup- ton that has existed h CT c. Frankly, ports such as Tacoma and Portland can take our ship ping.

 The Alaska Steamship Co. attempted to sail the steamer Dcnali with passengers, mail and cargo in accordance with pub lished schedule last week.

J. P. JOHNSON, General Manager

The Alaska Railroad
 Ii is our plan to attend this ceremony in a body from Sew ard in order 10 make very clear 10 the high Interior Department officials" that in our humble opinion. the rehabilitation pro gram must be continued to in clude the Portage to Seward portion of the railroad and the erection of new docks in Sew ard, or be considered a farce.
 The expenditure of the vast sum of money appropriated by Congress for the rehabilitation program thus far has been very favOrably looked upon by Sew ardites who realize the neces- s,ty of the program. This same group. however, also knows the situation well enough to realize that without the continuation ot the program, the original grant is all but wasted. There is a very famous image in The Bible, de scribed by Daniel as having a head of gold, breast and arms of silver, thighs of brass, and feet of part iron and clay. This is quite descriptive of The Al aska Railroad today, Ii is a fine road. but unless the feet of part iron and clay" are made to match the rest of the system, it's days are numbered.
 We in Seward realize this. The Armed Services realize this. The Alaska Railroad realizes
