FUTURE FOR RRFEliD
SHARK SKIN INDUSTRY
COPENHAGEN, 'Juno 18, </P)—With
the growing scarcity of leather, Den. |
mark is entering extensively into man. i
ufacture of leather from shark skin, ■
and the latest move was an attempt j
to establish a shark skin factory in I
Greenland, to employ 300 native worker
ers.
Although the 300 workers would
Ijave earned more than the whole
Greenland community earns today,
the Danish trade monopoly in Green,
land has forbade establishment of the
factory. The yearly income of tht
13,0000 persons living in Greenland
is today about §100,000, or less than
§10 a head.
