S'l \RP ADVANCE IN RATES
TO ALASKA IS EXPLAINED
'1 )ic following circular addressed t»
Alaska agent of the Admiral line, ex
p’aias the why foi*s of the advance in
■*01 i and freight rates to Alaska:
Agents: We are now preparing
our new freight tariffs for the season
11919 operations and propose making
an increase of $1.00 per ton on all
<ammoditie.; excepting lumber north
bound which wall be advanced $2.00
•or thousand feet, and on salt fish
and canned fish southbound on which
there will be higher advances.
Wo are experienceing here quite \
kit of complaint from the canned and
salt fi-h men on the advances on this
commodity and assume you will havf:
complaints from your local shippers
i the $1.00 per ton advance on gen
era! cargo.
The situation is this, however. Wo
operated our Alaska fleet last season
at an actual loss and this based on
conditions, equally favorable as <o
•o t for this yea-r without particular
exception. La t year our fuel oil cost
us 8T cents- pc** barrel and beginning
January 1st'this year fuel, oil cast
advanced to $1.85 per barrel, or about
11214.per cent increase., When you
consider what a large .factor fuel oil
is in our operating cost you can read
ily see that if we lost monoy in our
Ala: ka service during the 1918 sea
son, based on our last season’s rates
we would in 1919 lose more money
on this service. What we are trying
to do this season is to only advance
our rates, sufficiently to take care of
the additional costs and try and de
pend upon a more .economical and ef
ficient sendee in an endeavor to at
.least break even in our Alaska serv
ice until more favoiable operating
conditions will permit of an adjust
ment of our ooerating our Alaska ser
vice on a basis of a reasonable profit
on our inv<*stnWt in Alaska steame
service. ' A. F. Zipf,
Traffic Manager The Admiral Line.
