3,160 STRIKES; 108 LOCKOUTS
IN UNITED STATES IN 1916
There were 3,160 strikes and 108
lockouts during 1016 in the United
States. Probably there were more
strikes than in 1015, 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.
“Nineteen sixteen,” says an expert
of the federal bureau of labor stat
tistHrs, “will long be remembered as
the year of strikes. The scarcity* of
labor and th^ rapid increase in the cost
of living seem -to have caused wage
earners to feel that they twere not
getting their share of the present
prosperity and to show their discon
tent by striking. Higher wages anil >
shorter hours were the causes o
two-thirds of the strikes last yea!
while a large portion of the re
mainder was due to causes connectei
with unionism.”

pears in the April monthly review o

United States department of labor.

r HIGH PROFITS OF HALIBUT
, FISHING CAUSE INTERES1
1 Consul George W. Hanson, at Prince
Rupert, is quoted in Commerce Re
ports of recent date as follows:
f “The shipping of fishermen in tin
■ halibut fisheries under a ‘share agr
meat’ instead of a wage schedule has
resulted in several recent instances of
_• large earning for crews that happen
- to profit by the unusual catches of cer
tain vessels. The most striking in
■ stance is found in the case of the Di
rector, with a crew of four men. This
1 boat brought in 19,000 pounds of hali
but after fishing for fifteen days, and
• i the catch sold for about .$2,000. The
balance remaining after taking out all
: expenses was divided among the mem
’■ bers of the crew, as provided by the
• share agreement under which the
catch was made, and each man re
1 ceived $460.75, or $110.71 per day. It
| is not uncommon for fishermen to
! make from $10 to $20 per day hut a
| larger figure is unusual.”

| TWO MEN ARE LIKELY
i DROWNED NEAR COLD BAY
i:
(Seward Gateway.)
i
According to word received on the
Dora, G. L. Kiss of Cold bay, and a
native companion, by the name of
Gonkoff, from Kodiak, are supposed to
have been drowned somewhere be
tween Cold bay and Kanata.
Kiss has resided at Cold bay for the
past five years, and runs a trading
1 post M Kanata. It was while on his
, way to the latter place in a small, open
. boat that he is supposed to have met
I rough weather and drowned. Kiss left
1 Cold bay on March 21 and no trace of
him or his companion ha^e been seen
| since. The inhabitants of that vicin
: ity have searched the beach for miles,
but have found no signs of the missing
: men.

BF ALEX SMITH
(Fairbanks Citizen.)
Coal veins of practically unimagin
able size, a lake of pure oil within half
a mile of salt water. Those are twoi
of the wonders of the practically un
known Arcttic coast of Alaska told by
Alexander Smith, who arrived in Fair-!
I banks recently from the Kovukuk
country. Mr. Smith, in company with
; another man, spent the latter part of
the summer on the Alaska coast of the
Arctic ocean, having had many har
i rowing experiences in his travels in
' the northern wilds.
The larger part of Mr. Smith’s ex
periences were related in a letter to
Dr. Hedger printed in the Citizen sev
eral months ago. The letter was writ
ten from Point Harrow by Mr. Smith
in October and was not received her’
until late in December. It told of a1
number of hairbreadth escapes of the
i two explorers when it seemed that
their boat was to be caught in the iet
pack and crushed, along with it.- oc
■ cupants and their outfit.
Mr. Smith states that his partner
on the Arcttic trip took sick and that
he left him in the Kobuk country. He
then started for the Kovukuk country,
and has been there most of the time ,
since. His intention in coming to
Fairbanks was to take in the tiood
paster stampede, but he is as v ■* un
dec ided whether to do so or not.
I he lake of oil he describes, he says j
r practically pure kerosene, and he i r
, led to believe that the whole country in j
the vicinity of the lake is jnderl.ihl
with oil. In his opinion, however,
neitner the oil nor the coal can eber
become valuable on account of the in
* aceessability of the country.
At Point Barrow, says Mr. Smith,
j there are about ten white people He
met no others bur.ng his travels ho

some of the streams flowing into the j
Arctic ocean. They did do some pan-1
ning but never found anything which !
would warrant any effort in the way of
actual prospecting.
