COAL BUNKERS BLOCKED
Those two famous Alaska-loving (?) Senators, Howell and Ken
drick. have blocked the construction of the Seward coal bunkers, ac
cording to a message received Tuesday by The Gateway from Anchor
age. The two named alleged statesmen will not agree to the Alaska
Railroad appropriation for this development project unless it can be
shown in black and white that 10,000 tons of coal will be handled an
nually through said proposed bunkers.
Thus, by a wave of the noble (?) palm, the labor of years of pio
neers, is swept aside by one or two wearers of the royal purple who
hold the destiny of-thousands of people in their clutches.
Why does not Howell and Kendrick want to see The Alaska Rail
road pay or Alaska’s coal mines developed?
They will plead economy.
Now we’ll tell one!
WHAT GOES WITH RAILROAD MONEY
R, ports from Washington are to the effect that Senator Howell of
Nebraska, committee chairman of The Alaska Railroad farsical probe,
aet himself against any reduction in passenger and freight rates on
the railroad; threatened, if rates were reduced, to use his power to
have the road closed down.
What Senator Howell claims to have found in his cut-and-dried
burlesque of fact finding was that some 260 laborers were excess bag
gage and ordered them removed.
In his report to Congress he scouted every item which might have
had a comprehensive bearing upon the real situation. For instance he
might have asked why it is possible to maintain high-salaried men in
sinecures, who spend four months working in Alaska and eight months
drawing salary while rusticating in the States.
We have reference to the river boats personnel; two captains, two
engineers and two pursers. The same orders from Washington which
' permit this, and which Mr. Howell overlooked, should at least make
these men spend a few months extra in the northland assigned to
others duties. Not even a banker has such a full-time sinecure.
Iu Chicago is maintained a district freight and tourist office en
tailing an annual office expenditure of something like $25,000; there
are three or four people employed. The records of the Senate inquiry
revealed that the amount of business secured by this agency was neg
ligible. Yet it is still doing business at the same old stand. Why?
These things, as we understand it, are controlled from Washing
ton. Why did Senator Howell with his blood-getting program swing
the ax in a quarter where it would produce poverty and want and over
look these drains upon The Alaska Railroad funds, and pile on the ad
ditional load of high rates in an effort to cover up this glaring defect
in governmental ownership and operation?
Siberia is a long way to go for a little piece of fur.
