ANCHORAGE, (AP)--Anchorage businessmen asked Portland's help Tuesday in finding an answer to waterfront tieups which have blocked ship sailings from Seattle for a week.
Businessmen's Association, Inc., a group representing 175 Anchorage firms, wired the Portland Chamber of Commerce that "businessmen here are resolved to find more reliable shipping schedules."
"Labor relations in Seattle have become intolerable, apparently destined to remain so," the telegram signed by the Association president Paul Hoblett said.
The telegram asked the Portland Chamber to help in forming long-range plans which would by-pass Seattle.
The Association said Seward and Fairbanks businessmen are interested in such a program.
