Manager of Alaska Railroad Opposes
Placing Alaska Transportation Under
Jurisdiction Of Interstate Commerce
ANCHORAGE, UP —A proposal
to include Alaskan transportation
under jurisdiction of the Inter
state Commerce Commission was
denounced Monday by John H.
Lloyd, manager of the Alaska
Railroad.
Lloyd was a witness at the first
session of a Senate Interstate and
Foreign Commerce subcommittee
hearing on a bill extending au
thority of the ICC to the terri
tory.
Sitting on the subcommittee are
Sens. Cotton (R-NH) and Schoep
pel (R-Kan).
Lloyd said the bill would put
the railroad, a common carrier,
at an unfair disadvantage to con
tract carriers because the bill
would not limit competitive rate
cutting among contract carriers.
The railroad would be restrict
ed against reducing its rates
while a contract carrier would be
able to appeal to customers by
offering lower rates.
Lloyd said he saw other de
ficiencies in the bill in that it
fails to provide regulation of oil
pipelines or of the government’s
Military Sea Transport Service,
which competes with common
carriers.
The manager said the bill is
aimed at halting discrimination
against communities, but he de
clared the railroad has never dis
criminated against carriers.
Lloyd said the bill does not re
cognize the problem of one gov
ernment agency regulating an
other.
In a dispute between the ICC
and the Alaska Railroad, the U.S.
Attorney would be called on to
represent both sides.
Among other witnesses were
Volney F. Grace, chairman of the
Chamber of Commerce Trans
portation Committee end William
A. Stookey, manager of Fuller
Paint and Glass Co. Both men
supported the bill.
Grace said the Chamber com
mittee wanted some sort of reg
ulation of Alaskan transportation.
Stookey said transport rates af
fecting his firm had been raised
nine times in two years and ICC
regulation of rates was necessary.
The bill was outlined ,by James
A. Murray, associate general
counsel of the ICC. Murray said
if the bill were passed, the ICC
would regulate operating routes
and rates of transportation with
in Alaska and between Alaska,
and the states.
A territorial transport board
would be appointed by the gov
ernor and confirmed by the Al
aska Senate. The board would act
as an advisory board to the ICC
on transport within the territory.
The bill would provide that
any two carriers may be compel
led to make joint operating agree
ments over one route between
two points.
