 Dear Lew
 am compelled 10 clarify your haadliuar in the Perise0pe of June [. relative To wages paid langshore- men
 Evidently lIr. Clark either mad Hartanuy or deliberately gave the wrong impression when he said l8ueshoremeu received as high as sl0.55 per hour tits oyer 13.0o). In doing SC. he did dis-seryice to ihe Alaska Steam the hundreds of faithful longshoremen. and 10 the citizens of Alaska
 The rate that was spoken of is the overtime penalty rate for the H7udIae of Class A" explosives. luog Ho, tempsrs. small arms or IreHorks and then only. and for one hour only. AFTER the long shoremen have worked rive hours without meal period aad. in the opinion of the ships officers. # would De to Alaska Steam's adyan- tage 10 sail within the meal per- iod. ihls overtime penalty is work ed. Ihis penalty cannot be paid TWO straight hours.
 The Ioneshuramen for years have been the whipping boys" for the marine headaches but f you recall 1hsfe hasn't been g tie-up of an AlazEa ship far years. We have a no strike clause in the contract.
 A We are more interested in what bappens in this town. let me give fou an example. relative te 1hs welfare Of our locaI lonashore- men. Cur monthly freighter drop gea in la#t week with about l6a toHs of cargo. Under the old sys- t5H. taa average rate of discharge Wa -a Ions Der hour That would give tha men hours overtime and [ hours straight time. or a gross pay of a16.95. But this ship is pal letIzed, it arrived at a. m.; sailed al Il q. m., giving the men 1 hour overtime, three straight, or a gross Of 2l3.5o. Now, using the govern ments standard Of a married man. two children, lets see what he takes hone Social Security takes [ cents, Uncle 1.75 and our Alas la, ls cents or a total or S-.2O. leaving him $1L30. Has anyone else taken a pay cut of 90 per cent and not cried to high heaven?
 The Iongshoremen have always eo-operated in new methods and Improvements, in handling of cargo and We are not against any method Of palletizing but the blaming of one department does not solve the plight of Alaska Steam, who is m against a tough deal. When the air line can gaJ live to six miIlfc5 from Gnrle for flying premium cargo, can't see why Alaska Steam cant get 10 per cent of that to heep the American Flag on our ship coming 10 Alaska.
