10 principals toward seeking a
solution to the problems were a
greed upon:
1. Private operation of ship
ping is preferred to government
operation
2. Competition should be en
couraged aad any tendency to
ward monopoly resisted.
3. Federal legislation should
be enacted to provide a means
of settling maritime disputes
without causing interruption ef
service and consequent hard
ships.

should insist on honest, eeonomi

companies before aoeepting their
oosts as a basis of rate making
5 Excesses of maritime labor,
including slow downs and “feath
er-bedding” should be curbed.
6. Alaskans should be vigilant
in resisting rate increases.
7. No exclusive arrangement
bet wees the Alaska railroad and
any oeenn carrier should be tol
erated.
8. The interim operation prop
osal of tne Alaska Steamship
company and Northland Trans
portation company should be re
jected, as tending toward mono
poly.
9 The “Jones Act” should be
amended to remove the dissrim-1
iuatorv provisions affeeting Alas
ka (To provide freight hauling
by Canadian vessels to Alaska
p ’I ts.)
10. Lighterage and terminal
rates, a part of transportation
cos’b, should he scrutia zed by
