SEWARD’S BATTLE FOR SQUARE j
DEAL TIE SITUATION LAUD
ED, SUPPORTED ;
From many sources, including
members of Congress, and all of
the Southeastern Alaska Chambers
of Commerce have come endorse
ments of the Seward Chamber of
Commerce and The Gateway in
their battle for a square deal for
Alaska and Alaska workmen in
utilizing at hand Alaskan Droducts
for any purpose where they are
available, and especially cross ties
for the Alaska Railroad.
From the Tacoma Chamber of
Commerce comes a request for full
information on the subject under
consideration, and a pledge of its
forces behind Seward in its cour
ageous stand for principle.
All of which goes to prove that
“thrice armed is he whose cause
is just.” *
While the tie contract appears
to, for the nonce, settled as far
as the railroad and the former ad
ministration is concerned, it is not
a dead issue by any means as is i
shown by the letter of Representa- j
tive Louis T. McFadden of the;
15th Pennsylvania district
The matter bids far to reach the I
floor of Congress where, in all like- :
lihood, Alaska's cause will find |
many adherents.
Encouragement is found in the j
i following response to the airing by !
'The Gateway of the tie situation:
From. Rep. L. T. McFadden
Washington, D. C„ Feb. 8, 1339
Seward Chamber of Commerce,
Seward, Alaska.
Gentlemen:
Your circular letter, setting forth
the view's of your organization as
regards the deplorable conditions
which have been allowed to grow
in Alaska and which have contrib
uted toward te stagnation of de-j
velopment w'ithin the Terriory, is j
received.
! I shall look over with a great
I deal of interest copy of the Sew
j ard Daily Gateway which you are
I sending. Very truly yours,
L. T. M’FADDEN.
j Rep. 15th Penna. District.
From Ketchikan Chamber
Ketchikan, Aaa., Feb. 15, 1933.
i Hon. James Wickersham,
| Delegate to Congress, Alaska,
Washington, D. C.
Dear Judge Wickersham:
This will advise you that at a
regular meeting of this chamber
on February 8th. we endorsed the
open letter of the Seward Chamber
of Commerce, addressed to Hon.
Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary of
the Interior, on the subject of the
purchase of ties for the Alaska
Railroad, at Seattle, which letter
was published in the Seward Daily
Gateway on January 14, 1933.
We are very glad to have our
protest recorded in this matter of
| the purchase of outside ties for the
railroad and we feel that Alaskan
materials as well as labor should
at all times have preference for
Alaskan projects, where competi
tive conditions are anything like
equal. Yours very truly,
KETCHIKAN CHAMBER OF COM
MERCE, Frank S. Shelton,
Secretary.
From Juneau Chamber
RESOLUTION
To the Hon. Secretary of the In
terior, Washington, D. C.:
Whereas it has come to the no
tice of the Juneau Chamber of
Commerce that a contract has
been recently awarded to Seattle
timbering interests for the fur
nishing of 75,000 creosoted ties for
j the use of the Government Rail
road, uperating between Seward
| and Alaska, and
! Whereas reports of the investi
gations of the Forestry Bureau
disclose that the mountain hem
lock which compi'ises the greater
portion of the forests of Alaska is
of great durability for use as rail
road ties, having a life of more
than 10 years when used for that
purpose, which finding has been
proven by the experience of all
railroads operating in Alaska; and
Whereas a large number of citi
zens of Alaska residing adjacent
! to the Alaska Railroad are depend
ent almost wholly upon tie cutting
for a livelihood and for the means
of sustaining themselves and their
families while developing home
steads and mining claims in the
Railroad Belt; and
Whereas the Government of the
United States has for many years
made large appropriations for the
maintenance and development of
the forest reserves of Alaska which
by reason of lack of market are
unable to dispose of the mature
timber therein contained as a re
sult of which many millions of
feet of high-grade mountain hem
lock rot and fall eacii year; and
Whereas the avowed purpose and
object of the construction of the
Alaska Railroad was the develop
ment of the Territory of Alaska,
which purpose we feel is being de
feated by the failure of the man
agement of the railroad to utilize
[ local labor and materials where
possible;
Now therefore be it Resolved by
the Juneau Chamber of Commerce
that we are opposed to the grant
ing of contracts for the purchose
of ties outside of this Territory
and that we vigorously protest
against the same and we do re
spectfully request that any such
contracts so made be cancelled as
unjust to the citizens of this Ter
ritory and uneconomical and un
businesslike on the part of the
Government, the Administrator of
the National Forests in Alaska,
