The Water{ront Employers Asso- ciation immediately declared the Port closed to all shipping, except “local ferries.” The trouble is over “jurisdictional duties” believed to be the right of the sailors instead of longshore- men Inter-Nation Highway Plan Moving Along Pattullo Spuu Efforts to Get British Colum- bian Loan WASHINGTON, April 30.—Nego- tiations for joint American and Canadian construction of a road from the State of Washington to Alaska were resumed today by Prime Minister Pattullo of British Columbia. Pattullo announced his intention to confer with Dominion officials. He talked today with Dr. Ernest Gruening, Director of the Interior Department’s Territory Division, and had arranged for a later conference with Alaska Delegate Anthony J Dimond. The British Columbia Prime Min- ister invited interested officials to a dinner tonight during which the proposed international highway will be discussed. Last week reports were current that the Administration might ask Congress to authorize a $15,000,000 loan to British Columbia to finance the chief remaining link of a 200- mile highway. Dimond said officials are still “seeking a formula” for assistance to the Province of British Columbia and further said he had reason to believe President Roosevelt favored the loan. e - FOUR 60 OUT - WITH SIMMONS Three passengers went to Hirst | and one to Tenakee this morning with Shell Simmons.
