OPA Breaks
Log-jam Of Claims
Persistent work on the Alaska
1 Office of Price Administration to
break the log-jam of unpaid ship
ping claims, which has been a
major headache for retail mer
chants throughout the Territory,
has been successful, according to
word received by Mildred Her
mann, Alaska Director of OPA
from Guy Green, Jr., Regional
Enforcement Attorney of the 9th
Region, who at Mrs. Hermann’s
request has been handling the
problem with the War shipping
Administration in Washington,
D C
According to word transmit
ted by Mr. Green, reports re
ceived from the Alaska Steam
ship Company indicate that out
of approximately 1,000 claims
processed, 18 per cent have been
paid and 80 per cent have been
approved and forwarded to
Alaskan agents for payment.
Only 2 per cent of the claims
were disallowed and 2,000 are
still pending. Due to the man
power shortage, work on this
matter has been slowed up to
some extent, the report stated.
11 is expected that simi'ar re
ports will be received from other
steamship companies in the
near future.
Unpaid claims for loss or
damages to goods in process of
shipment have represented a
ve<y serious problem to retail
merchants, Mrs. Hermann ex
plained. Without definite clari
fication as to responsibility in
the matter, the steamship com
panies have been reluctant to
settle claims until definitely
directed to by W. S. A. Losses
have been heavy, due to inex
perienced help and considerable
pilfering and have greatly added
to the merchants’ cost of doing
business, an item which had to

be absorbed by the merchant,
since it is not cbargable to
direct cost and could not be
passed on to the consumer
The Alaska Office of Price
Administration has been work
ing on this matter for- a long
time, Mrs. Hermann stated, and
is deeply gratified at the success
of its efforts.
Merchants are advised to
present their claims promptly,
giving all information necessary
to enable the transportation
company to understand the pro
blem involved. Settlement may
be delayed, but they may j,
