Chamber Protest Over Alaska Mail Handling Plan
The Juneau Chamber of Commerce led a protest to the Post Office Department against abandoning the present contract mail system between Alaska and Seattle in favor of freight handling without route clerks. Protests from other towns and the Seattle Chamber were noted as officials consider the change, which labor and business groups fear will worsen delays and costs. The move, potentially taking effect January 1, was challenged as detrimental based on wartime freight experience and public dissatisfaction.
