Locs El'on E. Engstrom wired the Marit.me Ad- ministration that the increas freight rates on frozen 1ish be pended as of today Engstrom’s telegram s'ated that the rates “are unjust and unneces- sary and will divert more fishing vessels to Prince Rupert. Thils competition already serious enough. We are resident buyers at Juneau, Wrangell and Pelican for Seattle concerns and wish to con- tinue and believe hearings should be held.” The telegram was signed by Engstrom for the Engstrom bro- thers. The answering telegram from A J. Williams of the Maritime Ad- ministrations, Washington, D. C. follows: “Mari‘ime Board on ust 29 voted not to suspend Alaska Steamship Co. increases on frozen fish. Action predicated on carriers agreement to segregate rived from raises. “Increased portion of revenues shall be set aside for 30 days with- in which time protestants m file formal complaint.

As yet no de- cision has been handed down K. N. Peterson, general trafiic manager for the Alaska Steamship Co., recently wrote Engstrom stat- ing: “We are making similar in- creases in the rates from all south- east points to Prince Rupert. 9o, as far as Prince Rupert con- cerned, there is no material change in the picture, As a matter of fact, the rate increases to Prince Rupeit on a percentage basis are greater than they are to Seattle. “Since July 1, 1948, we have been paying regular statutory charter hire, which amounts to several hundred thousand dollars a year, and insurance, on chartered ships from the Maritime Commission and we have come to the conclusion that it is proper now to ask the frozen fish industry to bear its proper proportion of the increased cost of operations, and not to exs pect to have the whole burden fall on other industries and freight for the benefit of the frozen fish in- dustry. | “I am hoping, when you consider all of the facts, you will agree that this increase is justified and we respectfully ask that you wire the Maritime Commission withdrawing your suspension request.” Engstrom stated this morning that he believes the increased freight rates is driving more fish- ermen to make their landings in | Prince Rupért instead of here. is NEW CATHOLIC RADIO PROGRAM | The Catholic Church 1s beginning a new weekly radio program to be; broadcast each Saturday at 4 p.m. over Station KINY.
