Republican Convention Invites Other Parties to Conference MERCHANTS OPEN WAR TO REGAIN ALASKAN TRADE Local Men Wage Crusade in Opposition to the ; Seattle Jobbers CAMPAIGN PLANNED Steamships Will Be Run to North and Many Scouts ' Will Seek Orders LARGE MEETING HELD Commercial Leaders Decide to Win Back $15,000,000 Worth of Business San Francisco merchants declared war yesterday on the jobbers of • Seattle to regain the $15,000,000 a year business of Alaska. The cam paign was opened with the authori zation of a committee representing j all the big shipping firms affiliated . with the chamber of commerce to '\u25a0 negotiate for the establishment of a :: direct fine of steamers to Nome and ;lie southeastern points Jn the terri t. -. •>?\u25a0:> \u25a0 hen that is accomplished a. horde or.immercial scouts \u25a0will be tamed the northern territory to win away trade . which the Washington city grabbed since the discovery of holesalers. steamshipmen- and rep-; atetives of transcontinental \u25a0 rail s discussed the plan at a meeting of th» chamber of eoinroerce T«st«rt3s? -afternoon. -aed* lt was agTe**;*"thit •running expenses of a. steamer line r-ould be guaranteed until- the Califor nia houses had gained a foothold. The principal difficulty In the way is the fact that the Seattle men -have all but bottled the Alaskan trade through the purchase of interests In nearly all the big firms in the territory. By means of this end shipping contracts under Thlch transportation companies grant rebates of as much as 20 per cent, they have compelled the shipment of the '- bulk of Alaskan business from Seattle. I it wa* demonstrated that there are ? enough iruSependent firms to keep a Ran. Francisco line busy, provided the* •aroe. rates were given. This 'Captain John Barneson of the Barneson-Hib berd I!n« protnised^to do. Captain Barneson gave statistics showing that where a few years ago San •• Francisco enjoyed practically a monopoly of Alaskan trade, its busi ness with the northern territory had dwindled until if could claim but $1,000,000 of the 115,000.000 trade with Alaska last year. Captain ' Pierce of the Pacific Coast steamship company. Captain Robert Dollar' of the Dollar line and Captain Mats on, .who .runs oil steamers north, corroborated Barneson in the claim that transcontinental freight eoold be , snipped out. of ncr« cheaper than it could from Seattle. There were about 49 representatives *>tj wholesale shippers at the ' meeting. They were unanimous in the belief that cheaper rates could be. made. out of this port, and Assistant ' Freight Traffic Manager, Anawalt of the Santa T*. promised that all the assistance the railroad could rive in the way;- of. switching -and ' water f root storage facilities would be rendered. All the merchants asserted that most of the jobbers of Seattle" bought here and then reshipped at their home port. From this they argued ; that the freJght cost between here and the northern port could be lopped off by the San Francisco merchants dealing direct. It was feared, however, that the In terests the Seattle men hold in nearly all the large houses In Alaska would be v- Insurmountable obstacle to Ssn Francisco regaining Its lost position "as the supply center for the - north, but reports were read' showing that the independents were' eager to. deal through this, port, because of the f«a'r that their action In keeping the Seattle nsea out might.. result In reprisals whlcn would force them to th« f walL "Tb« Seattlo spirit," which is being, fostered > asirfdaously in the Yukon country. w*» brought forward* as an other . obstacle. '. But. this was ; dropped ; wb«n Charles H. Bentley gave : it as his opinion .that the Seattle spirit , would not make t profit proof the, Jobbers • who <3«al through .bouses here, when adl r*>ct line invited them to cut' their transportation charges.
