| A Letter To You Who Pay The Freight:
Our first vessel in the newly inaugurated Bering Sea
Service of the Consolidated Olympic Line, the El Capitan,
has come and gone—she is now bound for Keewalik with
1000 tons of freight for the Arctic Circle Exploration Co.
We expect to sail the El Capitan from Seattle in late July
or early August on her second voyage.
There are a few things we would dike to discuss with
you, all of them, pertaining to our mutual economic welfare.
The American business system has always been basic
ally competitive. Occasionally monopoly reaches out
endeavoring to embrace an entire district, section or country
within its grc>edy tentacles. Once this objective has been
achieved, there is nothing that this octopus leaves undone
to keep its unfortunate victims in a constant state of servi
tude, the methods employed being similar to those of the
Robber Barons of the Middle Ages, the only difference being
that the victims of modem monopoly can be afforded relief
through what are termed Independent Companies, while the
oppressed of the Middle Ages had to take it and like it.
The Nome, Seward Peninsula and Kotzebue Sound Dis
tricts have for some years past been in the grip of monopoly
as reflected in the high cost of moving thousands cf tons of
freight annually from Puget Sound Ports to the above men
tioned districts. The proof of this statement lays in the
fact that when our company entered into competition with
the sole steamship company serving these districts, they
immediately dropped the freight and lighterage rates Dollars
per tori, that had prevailed for years, to conform with the
rates set by the Consolidated Oylmpic Line and which rates
the Consolidated Olympic Line considered to be equitable
and just to all concerned for the service rendered. This dif
ferential in present rates, due to our entry into the field,
' over the prior prevailing rates amounts to a considerable
sum when you consider that some 30,000 tons of freight are
involved each open season of navigation along the Bering
Sea and Kotzebue Sound Route. This considerable saving in
freight and lighterage is reflected in many ways—merchants,
mining concerns, shippers of all descriptions—the consuming
public—all are being materially benefitted.
I We would like to see these rates continue. We are sure
j that the shippers and the consuming public likewise echo
this sentiment. We know from past experience that these
lower rates can only be continued just so long as there is
P competition for the business. We also know that a competing
steamship line cannot continue to serve this district unless
it receives a proportionate share of the freight. We also
know what always happens when legitimate competition
is eliminated. jWe have seen and felt the results of this
occurrence several times in the past decade.
Powerful forces are now at work and have been since
prior to the sailing of our first vessel in the Bering Sea trade,
seeking our elimination and the restoration of monopoly.
There can be but one purpose behind these actions—higher
\ freight and lighterage rates.
He indeed dwells in a fool’s paradise, who permits him
self to think that any monopoly is ever guided by an altrlu
istic motive or that will not charge, as the saying ds, “All
that the traffic will bear.”
And so we are putting the matter strictly up to the
public. We have scheduled two moo<e boat sailings from Puget
Sound Ports to Northwestern Alaska for this season. We
earnestly hope that with your assistance and cooperation we
can fill these vessels with your freight. We have a dependable
competent organization opeCating our vessels, with a person
el that has for many years operated steamers between Pac
ific Coast Ports, and a fleet of vessels. \ye know that wie can
continue to maintain a proper freight service to all points
of S wand Peninsula and Kotzebue Sound Ports. What we I
want is your goodwill1, your cooperation and your freight.
