Fishermen viii Build.

Bay City-The Tillamook Bay Fish
company, a cooperative company of
the fishermen on this bay, is preparing
to drive the piling for its new build
ing. A. Ramsay, the company's
manager, says it is undecided whether
a cannery will be built this year or
not, but that with the evident low
price of canned goods for the year, he
believes they win handle the catch
fresh.
Arrangements have been completed
to open wholesale establishments in
Boise, Butte and Portland for handling
the fresh fish.
It is believed that the whole catch
can be disposed of in this way, making
a cannery unnecessary.

MECHANICS

Says Whirl

There n a slight Increase In the
demand for skilled mechanics. Cen
orally speaking. would not say that
there is a great increase over this
time last year. but there II an In
crease In certain factories"
This was the statement Tuesday
OF John J. whirl. secretary Of the
Employers Association OF Detroit.
1T Is to the credit OF Detroit en-
ployers that when conditions became
duh. in the last half Of 1914. they
tried TO keep as many Of their men
working as possible" continued Mr..
whirl To do this. they reduced
the hours OF work. cutting 10 Ave
days. four days. three days. as the
necessity arose. The result was that
some Of the best mechanics. men
with families TO support. began 70
look about for Jobs that would give
them more hours OF work; and grad
ually they drifted 10 those plants
which were enjoying the greatest
prosperity.
1T finally came 70 the point where
employers. realizing that by keeping
q number OF men on az short time
they were losing their best mechan.
les. began TO lay on the less skillful
men. keeping their best men as q
nucleus They could hardly be blAm-
cd for taking this course. In view OF
the situation.
AT the same time, we sent out
thousands Of letters. telling mechan.
les In other cities TO keep away from
Detroit. that there were no positions
available. that they were not needed
-Since then. the situation has i'm
proved somewhat One factory alone
Is employing 5000 more men than
IL had at this time last year. and
others which are making a better
showing. though on a considerably
smaller scale. This has resulted In
reducing the supply Of unemployed
mechanics In Detroit. Consequently
We advertised in a number OF towns
for skilled mechanics OF first excel
ence. We received a number OF
replies; and we wrote TO those men,
telling them that there Is limited
demand for frst-class men. but that
no jobs could be guaranteed. Some
men undoubtedly came TO Detroit. al
their own risk. as the result Of this
advertising. and found good jobs.

Gently summarized the teachings of
