IS LATEST IN SEATTLE
SEATTLE, July S— Intel preting
cm go signs is the* “last word" in
strange jobs in Seattle, and the pay is
big. so say those who employ the in
terpreters.
I'pon the arrival of each liner from
the Orient the interpreters station'
themselves where they can best scan
the inscriptions on the boxes and bales
unloaded from the vessel and by care
ful watching they can tell within a
few tons of how much silk, copra,
h«>un oil, hemp or other commodities
are unloaded.
Such information is eagerly sought
by big eastern firms who pay liberal
ly for tin* estimates of shipments re
ceived.
When an interpreter runs into a big
mixed cargo lie usually makes a good
haul, receiving pay from vavious deal
ers in bean oil, rope makers, cocoanut
dealers, etc.
