New* that the greet longshoremen'll
strike on the I'liclth* coast Is practically
nettled oonus on h welcome relief to the
resident* o, thlN district or to thus** at
leant who tile t apttole of apprehending
tin- condition* Which udgh* have d*
veloped as a result of an extended pr*.
longutloii of tin* strike period The suine
"feeling of relief prubilbM obtains In
every other section of Alaska, although
possibly no, In the degree that it Is felt
it Nome, for I he reason that Hourly every
other section of the territory Is In a
much better poult ion to endure a ship
ping th-up or the other dUth-tillles which
might develop out of strike conditions
In the event of u prolonged strike at
this period of the year the people ol
Nome and Northwestern Alaska gen
erally would hnd themselves facing a
condition of the utmost seriousness,
l radically every pound of every commo
dity that we consume In the lino ot
food and Clothing Is dependent upon th<
maintenance of ocean t rattle will* the
I'ucllle coast. Nut uloiie life We forced
to rely on outside sources for our food
and clothing but wo an- also complete!),
dependent for our fuel supplies. We
produce practically nothing to Insure the
sustenance of the community In the event
of a paralysis of shipping
We have a few reindeer and llsli, but
nothing else on which o epctid In the
event ot onrallpplics being cut off. Near
ly every other Mottled section of AhiNku
has an abundance of gam*- ot several
varieties and can, In a pinch, raise
enough Vegetable food stuns to meet the
requirements ol the people Also tln\\
are provided with timber, and. in many
cases, eon!, to insure tlu-lr warmth and
comfort, rutthci, the majority of the
populated districts are mo situated that
they nit* more or loss accessible at all
times. I'vrn such a remote settlement
its Cali banks, for Instance, Is only a few
days Journey from the coast by stag**
and In Iii a position to secure sulflchmt
food conunodttcos to support tlu* popu
lation at any time of the year. Hut,
with us It Is different. Practically all
01 the western section of the territory
north of the Kuskokwlm is completely
cut off from commercial intercourse with
the outside for the greater portion of the
year.
Oniy during the brief summer season
are we enabled to secure troni the out*
wide markets the various commodities
w hich contribute to our existence. If we
do not secure the supplies we need when
the ocean highway Is open wo arc Ir
revocably cut olt from securing them
until another year has passed.
One can hardly imagine a situation
more precarious than our would U» had
the great Mtrlkt* continued over the open
season.
Not only would we have faced a cer
tain prospect of food shortages but
would also have hnd a moat uninviting
probability of being cold ns well as hun
gry unless the government took a bund
In relieving the situation Kaillng in
ttus alternative, suite ring and distress
were the mumble portion Of tin* people
of this sect nut of Alaska.
Considering the possible gravity of
such a situation we may all feel thor
oughly thankful that the longshoremen
had their way

An important • ttvi t of the operation
of the new seaman « law, apart from
the feature that requires the employ
ment of high priced labor, is the added
expense of maintenance In other depart
ments that It places on American car
riers The steamship linen In the Seat
tle-Aiasku trade have recently given no
tice of a raise in rates on account of
the expense ol complying with the law
in reference lo life Loaiage and extra
watches, as well as on uccount of the
special conditions brought on by the
war Seattle lines. It Is announced, will
lie obliged to expend approximately $Gmjh,
(xJO to comply with the requirements
Alaska freight rates have therefore
been advanced from It to $3 per ton,
arid passenger rates have also been
raised slightly The statement is made
by shipping Interests that, even with
t tie advanced rates, ships will he op
erated at a less net profit than under
the old conditions
Alaska lines have been hard hit by
the l,u Kollette law, and they have met
these losses In the fuoc of tempting of
fers from Atlantic Interests lo purchase
the larger ships al two or three times
t be \ ulut'S of the vessels two years ago.
In the present conditions of Alaska
development the loss of these carriers
would have been a great blow to Seattle
trade. This trade has survived many
hazards In Its years of upbuilding, but
i one more serious than Hint imposed
I y the new shipping law mid the emer
gent conditions.—Ex.
