ADMIRAL STEAMSHIP LINE
TO QUIT ALASKA RUN
—
SEATTLE.—A special dispatch tc
the Seattle Times from its corre
I spondent at Washington, D. C., says
. that the Alaska Pacific Steamship
Company, generally known as the
Admiral Line, has applied to the
United States Shipping Board foi
permission to withdraw its vessels
from the service that it now is main
taining between Seattle and South
east Alaslea and Seattle and South
west Alaska, for the reason that
these routes are “overtannaged”.
The Pacific Steamship Company, in
its application to the Board, states
that its withdrawal from the South
east and Southwest Alaska services
would carry an agreement with the
Alaska Steamship Company that the
; latter company would not enter the
Puget Sound and California trade so
long as the former company did not
operate on the Southeast and South
west Alaska routes.
While the Board considers the re
quest of the Pacific Steamship Com
pany it will continue to maintain its
present Alaska services.
