HIGH PROFITS OF
HALIBUT FISHING
: .CAUSE INTEREST
Consul George W. Hanson, at
■i Prince Rupert, is quoted in Commerce
Reports of recent date as follows:
► I
“The shipping of fishermen in the
| halibut fisheries under a ‘share agree
ment’ instead of a wage schedule has
11 resulted In several recent instances of
. I large earnings for crews that happen
to profit by the unusual catches of
certain vessels. The most striking in
’ i stance is found in the case ot the Di
rector, with a crew of lour men. I his
boat brought in 19.000 pounds of hali
but after fishing for fifteen days, and
the catch sold for about $2,000. The
j balance remaining after taking out all
i expenses was divided among the mein-,
bers of the crew, as provided by the
share agreement under which the
catch was made, and each man re-!
ceived $460,75, or $“0.71 per day. It
; is not uncommon for fishermen to
make from $10 to $20 per day but aj
larger figure is unusual.
3.180 STRIKES.
10S LOCKOUTS IN
U. S. DURING 1918
There were 3,160 strikes and 10S
lockouts during 1916 in the United
States. Probably there were more
strikes than in 191 5. although there
were less lockouts. The employers
won in 471 and the employees in 706
strikes, 70 were arbitrated and 542
compromised. Practically every oc
cupation was involved somewhere.
“Ninteen sixteen.” says an expert
of the federal bureau of labor sta
tistics, “will long be remebered as the
year of strikes. The scarcity of la
bor and the rapid increase in the cost
of living seem to have caused wage
• earners to feel that Jhey were not
getting their share of the present
, prosperity and to show the*:* discon
tent by striking. Higlic*- wages and
»shorter hours were the causes of
two-thirds of the strides iasi year,
while a large proportion of the re
mainder was due to causes connected
with unionization.”

pears in the April mor.tl.’v review of
the bureau of labor suitistvs of the
United States department of labor.

CLAIM HANNAH
RORE IS MOTHER
OF OUR BANNER
All these years we have been pay
ing Betsy Ross an honor that right
fully beldnge to Hannah Rore. So a
writer in the Philadelphia Evening
Ledger declares, and he adds that the
first flag was made from the good
lady’s petticoat.
Hannah Rore, according to this
version, was the great-grandmother
of the late President McKinley and
the wife of the head of the continent
al munitions plant. Andrew Rore, her
husband, manufactured a huge por
tion of the shells used by the colonists
against the British.
Washington, it is said, confided to
Andrew Rore the need of a flag and
Mrs. Rore undertook to supply one.
The one she made was adopted.
Several times before the legend
that Betsy Ross made the first flag
has been attacked. Former Governor |
Curtis Guild, of Massachusetts, as
serted there was no historical support
for the belief that Betsy Ross was the
originator of the banner. William J.
Campbell, a Philadelphia historian,
also denies the truth of the familiar
story, after having made an extensive
investigation some years ago.
WOMAN MINER
RETURNS FROM
TRIPOUTSIDE
One of Alaska’s most remarkable
women visited Fairbanks lately. She
is Miss Nellie Cashman, who has been
actively engaged in mining under her
own management longer than any
woman in Alaska, and probably long
er than any woman in the world. For
40 years she has been in the mining
game in Arizona, New Mexico, Cali
fornia, Yukon territory and Alaska,
and she’s a long way from finishing
up yet.
To a representative of the News
Miner recently she recounted some of
her experiences since coming to
America from Ireland, when a young
girl; how she started in the mining
game in Arizona; blazed the trails in
New Mexico, and helped smuggle
away from officers in Nevada, men
who were charged with crime of which
• they were not guilty that others might
obtain possession of their interests;
how she joined the early stampede to
the Klondike, and mined on Dominion
creek, alter coming to Fairbanks and
then going on further to the Koyukuk.
in tier long and varied career, ior
tune has smiled upon Miss Cashman
several times, only to frown later.
She has been in the states since last
fall, visiting relatives in Nevada, New
Mexico and Arizona, and also inter
esting outside capital in some of her
Koyukuk holdings. She is now on the
way back to the Koyukuk to look
after her property and be among her
friends once more. And this time she
expects to make the big cleanup.
Miss Cashman pleads guilty to f>4
years of age, yet is a more active
musher than many women half her
age, and she is planning for the future
as would a much younger person.
“If you make the big cleanup this
time, what are you going to do then?"
was asked of her.
“Oh." with a drawl, “I think, if this
war lets up, I’ll take a trip around the
world and take things easy."
