Clifford represents Zellerbach Pa- |per Company and Dunham, Carri- gan and Hayden Hardware, among other well-known lines. of goods destined for this port might be discharged. There is a big con- signment of meat and fresh veget- ables on the ship which was ex- pected to go toward building up the stocks here in the event of an ex- tended strike. Further Wires The Governor also sent a message to T. B. Wilson, Vice President and General Manager of the Alaska Steamship Company, urging that he use his influence toward getting at least one boat a week for Alaska so that the Territory might have adequate foodstuffs. The Chief Executive explained that the re- quest was made from the viewpoint of an emergency and was without bearing on the status of the strike. He pointed out the needs of Alaska and said that at least a ship a week from the south was essential to supply the Territory’s needs. Freight Aboard Unloading of the Northland here yesterday resulted from orders from the LL.A. headquarters in Seattle and the Sailors’ Union headquar- ters in the South, it was reported. In an effort to get the shipment discharged, Mayor I. Goldstein rusi- ed a message yesterday to the Mari- time Federation in San Francisco asking permit for the longshoremen to work the ship but San Franc..co referred him to Seattle and Le r ceived no reply to a query to the headquarters there before the vessel sailed for Sitka. Lumber Shipment A shipment of some 25,000 feet of lumber, loaded at Wrangell for Sitka, also figured in the matter of unloading, it was stated, as the workers refused to work a ship where cargo had been loaded since the union men walked out in Se- attle. i | Mail, passengers and baggage was taken off and two automobiles had a brief delivery here. The machines were consigned to L. W. Kilburn and P. Ecklund and were loaded so as to block the exit for mail. It was necessary to swing the autos off on the dock to remove the mail. When this was completed, the machines were swung back again to continue: their long ride from Seattle. | | .
