-Four Thousand to Lose Jobs II Seal
Hunt Is Abandoned.

A -
Unless some plan can be devised
within a month whereby the skins
and oil of the hair seal can be utiliz-
ed by the British government for var
supplies, there is a strong possibility
that the seal hunt which has been an
important factor in the commerce of
New Foundland for many years, will
be abandoned for the coming season.
Because of Industrial depression and
the war none of last years catch of
$4,000 has been disposed of and
about half of the great catch of 372,-
600 skins in 1913 remains In the
hands of brokers in London and New
York. The var has prevented the
transport of seal oil to Germany, for
merly one Of the principal markets.
Some time ago negotiations were
started. which 1t was hoped, would
result in an arrangement for the
British government to take over the
entire catch for the coming spring,
for use in making winter garments
for soldiers. Word has been receiv-
ed, however, that the manufacturers
of clothing for the army find the ma
terial unsuitable and that no practi-
cable methods of using seal oil in
connection with military operations
has been found.
Should the entire hunt be abandon
eoned it would mean the loss of six
or eight weeks employment ordinari-
ly given to about 1000 men.
Steam Shovel Employed on Union Pa
cifc Work.
Assistant superintendent G. o.
Brophy of the Wyoming division of
the Union Pacific returned to his
home at Ogden Thursday last from
an inspection trip. He reports that
the work preparatory to the laying of
the new stretch of track near Uintah
hoo NV Pio6iCScCu ldI cuOukn u
necessitate the use of the dump cars
but that one steam shovel has been
in operation this week. Active grad
ing is being done at the west end OF
the line where the dirt can be con-
veniently dumped by the gigantic
shovel at either side of the line while
tracks are being laid further east
where a deep cut will have to be
made through the right-of-way. Wher
the dump cars are brought into use
there will be employment for more
men.
There is a prospect of another con.
tract being let for Castle Rock hill
where surveyors are running new
lines.
1t is estimated that $500, 900 O
work will be underway by the middle
of summer.

Arizona May Require Aliens to In
derstand English.

Senator Claypool of ella county,
Arizona, has introduced in the state
senate a bill which II enacted, would
impose upon Arizona employers con-
ditions similar to those prescribed by
the anti-alien labor, or 80 per cent
law which recently was declared un-
constitutional by a tribunal of fed
'eral judges.
Under the alien labor Law four u
of every five employees were to be
American citizens. The Claypool bill
prescribes certain qualifications for
laborers in hazardous employments
and requires that all must understand
the English language.
A similar bill introduced in the last
Legislature was defeated after a hard
fight.
