Private operation of vessels is preferred to Government operation. 2. Competition in the Alaska trade should be encouraged, and any tendtney toward monopoly resisted. 3. Federal legislation, similar to the Railway Mediation Act, should be enacted which, while protecting the rights of Labor, would provide a suitable means of settling Maritime disputes without causing interruption of service and hamship to the public which is dependent, as are all the people of Alaska, upon water transportation. 4. In considering the reasonable ness of rates to Alaska, the Maritime Commission should insist on honest, economical, and efficient operation by the Companies before accepting their costs as a basis for rate making. Included In the concept of economical and efficient operation should be a consideration of the age andi condition of ships and of their suitability to use ,in Alaska trade. There should also be considered the diligence of management in resisting unreasonable demands by labol-, and in seeing that labor lives up to Its agreements. The excesses of Maritime Labor, including slow-downs and "feather-bedding" practices which contribute toward high transportation c o s ts, should be curbed. The people of Alaska, through their Territorial offices, including the Attorney General and the Alaska Development! Board, should be vieilant in resisting rate Increases and In seeing that the Public's case is presented effectively in proceedings pending, or which may be brought, before the Maritime Commission. , No exclusive arrangement be tween the Alaska Railroad and any Ocean carrier for joint through service to the Alaska rail belt should be tolerated, but other carriers should be encouraged to operate on the water portion of this haul, under Joint tariff arrangements to be concluded with the Railroad. 8. The proposal of the Alaska Steamship Company and N o r 5 h land Transportation Company dated-November 19, 1946, covering interim operation In the Alaska trade, should be rejected, as tending toward monopoly and because its proposed overall rate Increases cannot be borne" bv Alaska shippers without doing grave damage to the TerrU tory's economy. 9. The Jones Act should -bo amended to remove the discriminatory provisions affecting Alaska. 1C Lightcraje rates and terminal rates, because they also are definitely part of the costs of transportation 'to Alaska, should be carefully scrutinized by the Maritime Commission as to their reasonableness.
