AS NEW PORT FOR
TACOMA, Wash., July 7. (AP)
All previous records for cargo and
passenger movements at this port
were shattered today as Tacoma took
over the' task of handling all mari
time commerce between the United
States and the territory of Alaska.
Working 24 hours a day and In
six-hour shifts, union longshoremen
completed the loading of four ves
sels which sailed today. Five more
will be In port Sunday.
The thousands of tons of freight
and the more than 600 passengers
aboard the four members of the
Alaska fleet which sailed today was
but a part of the business which has
accumulated In northwest ports since
the first agreement to exempt this
trade from strike conditions was ab
rogated. Freight continues to pour into Ta
coma by rail, truck and sound steam
er faster than workers at the various
piers can handle It. Sunday will see
no cessation of the burst of activity
which began when all Alaska busi
ness was transferred to this port, the
only port on the Pacific coast where
no attempt-has been made to resume
all shipping operations by force.
