KERRY EXPLAINS
SEATTLE STAND;
FEARS DISPUTES
Says Might Involve Seattle
Chamber of Commerce
on Local Controversy.
Fear that « request from the Se
attle Chamber of Commerce might
involve It tin a local controversy ap
parently was the foundation of that
organisation's refusal to support Ju
neau in the effort to get the order
fOT removing tho local Land Office
suspended until the arrival of Presi
dent Harding and Secretary Work in
the Territory. The position of the
Seatt.lip Chamber Is explained in a
telegram received Saturday by Allen
Shattuck, president of the Juneau
Chamber of Commerce.
The telegram is signed by A S.
Kerry, chairman of the Alaska Com
mittee of the Seattle Chamber. It
said:
“Upon organization of committee
wo adopted a fixed policy of en
deavoring to assist Ala“ka in such
matters as Alaska generally wished,
end not advocating any preferences
we might have and to also avoid in
terfering in any local domestic con
troversies, believing that only in tb -
way could we be of real assistance
to your Territory. Our committee
feels satisfied that it cannot "on
slstently with this policy assist you
In the manner that you suggest.''
Tho Seattle committee evident, yj
did not give very srrlous cox.-c'et-j
tion to the information sent It h;> t.v!
Juneau chamber said Mr. Sint'..: U.
commetltlrg on the telegram. Tn"j
iooai claamhcr emphasized the fact)
that (hero Is no controversy over the j
1 >ct that a land office should be es- ,
tabiishod at Anchor a go. It merely j
e«kei that Seittle help Jitncut retain ;
the lotfal land office now .1 re as a'
matter Involving materially the best!
interests of the Territory, at'feeiine
the welfare particularly oi the min-;
lag LndJistry of all South :i-„.ern Al
aska. It did not ask that Seattle re
quest revocation of the tra.;.fer or
der, and is not askSng tha. Itself—
inercDy that the order held in
abeyance until the President and SiH
rets.ry Work have opportunity to
view local conditions from on the
ground, Mr. Shattuck point'I out.
