possible strike if demands for
increased wages were not
met recently, wrote the gover
nor, in an open letter dis
tributed to the press and A
laska Chambers of Commerce,
asking for his suggestions and
criticism.
The bargaining now being
carried on is on a “level be
yond that of the territory of
Alaska”, Gruening pointed
jut, and the “economic well
being of an area embracing
Washington, Oregon, Cali
fornia, Hawaii and Alaska is
nvolved.”
It would be “presumptu
rns”, he adds, fo'* him to pro
rose a solution to a problem
;hat “extends beyond the
rounds of Alaska” and he has
,herefore invited the gover
rors of the other states and
territory to assist him.
However, he tells Skinner,
f ASC and the union wish to
>argain independently re
garding workers in the Alaska
rade, the department of labor
vill offer its facilities “for the
legotiation of fair and equi
able terms of settlement. ”
Answering Skinner’s com
nent that Gruening is opposed
o increased rates to meet an
ncrease in wages, the gover
ror rolled back his sleeves and
rolled no punches in a thinly,
veiled attack on the steamship
:ompany.
i am not opposed to m
:reases which can be demon
itrated as justified, fair and
lecessary. ... I am opposed
;o the concept that any cost
ncurred by a carrier is a . . .
ustification of rates present
>r proposed, that every in
:ompetence of a carrier should
>e provided for in rates. . .
o the continued existence of
if discriminatory rates. . . to
[^proportionately high rates
ietween Alaska ports.”
Gruening has petitioned the
r'ederal Maritime Board for a
uspension of the increase in
ates asked by A SC to meet
he demands of the union, he
vrote Skinner, and requested
learings he held.
‘‘In view of your repeated
lublic statements that the in
reases are justified, I can not
inderstand your reluctance to
lave the matter aired and
rour position possibly vindi
:ated through such hearings
ind investigations,” the
governor concludes.
Skinner had earlier indi
cated his company would wel
come a public hearing on the
[uestion.
