TERRITORY LOSES FIRST
ROUND IN FIGHT
ON JONES BILL
liy a decision of Judge Robert Jen
nings denying the petition of the Ter
ritory of Alaska and Juneau Hardware
Company to enjoin Collector of Cus
toms Troy from seizin# a shipment nl
merchandise made via the Canadian
steamship lines to Juneau, the Terri
tory has lost the ftrst skirmish in a
legal battle to determine the const I
tutionality of Section 27 of the Jones
Marine Act in its application to AI
The action was brought in the Dis
trict Court at Juneau June 3. under
the contention that Section 27 of the
Merchant Marine Act is unconstitu
tional because it discriminates against
Alaska. Attorney General Rustgard
irejpreaented the complainants, Terri
tory of Alaska and Juneau Hardware
Company under the authority of ,t
resolution lvunsod by the last legis
lature. According to the Juneau Em
pnre of that date, the original complaint
recited that on or about May 13, the
Juneau Hardwafre Company purchased
(merchandise for shipment from Evart.
Michigan. via. the Pere-Mairquette
Railway to Chicago and via the.Sault
St Marie Railway and Canadian Pa
cific Railway to Vancouver and thence
by British bout to Juneau. It was ad
mitted that such shipment was in vio
j lation of the provisions of Section 27
I of the Merchants Afiurtne Act. The
complaint farther alleged that the Col
lector of Customs h-td threatened to
confiscate the shipment and was so
| instructed by the Treasury Depart
ment. In asking a restraining order
to prevent the seizure of the jtfripment
pending final deterani nation of the
lease, the complaint declared that sec
tion 27 is unconstituticm:iJ and that
“It gives by a. regulation of commerce
, a preference to some parts over other
parts of the I'nited Suites and by
reason of such fact and to the extent
fc^ve and effect,*' owing to its alleged
of Article t of the Constitution, which
provides that. “No preference shall be
