WHITE MEN MAY REPLACE $4,000
ORIENTAL EMPLOYEES OF CANNERIES
BY Jack Jungmeyer

Wholesale substitution Of white
labor for Oriental in the fish can
leries of the Northwest is to be
attempted by the State of Wash
tngton as a solution of the annual
unemployment problem.
Every season between $4,000
and $4,000 Japanese and Chinese
are utilized in the Puget Sound
salmon and cod canneries.
THIS NUMBER FAR EX-
CEEDS ALL THE UNEMPLOY-
ED WHITE MEN IN WASHING
TON AND OREGON AT ANY
ONE TIME!
State Labor Commissioner e.
Olson, taking the initiative, has
already received encouraging
promises from some of the big
cannery interests employing Ash
atics that white men hereafter
will be given preference.
Chinese and japanese labor got
its foothold because white labor
was not always available when
most needed. A system of con-
tracing with Oriental bosses
sprang up. They always had their
countrymen on hand in sufficient
number.
This fact, rather than wages,
has been the determining factor.
But within the last year a pow
erful new Influence to relieve en-
forced idleness has been created.
1t is the free employment agency
maintained under the national
plan of the U. S. Department of
Labor.
3ince March, 1915, the Tacoma
office has found jobs for over
5000 idle men. And this despite
problems of organization and the
slow desponse of employers.
The ready availability of white
labor seems to have been solved.
Under the direction of A. Fulton,
immigration inspector in charge
at Tacoma, the work of the gov
eminent employment office here
has been popularized among fruit
Gamers, wheat, berry and hop
ranchers.
Now State Labor Commissioner
Olson is urging the fish Gamers
as well to patronize this bureau
and municipal free agencies, so
that the American toiler may re-
gain the jobs from which the
Asiatics have ousted them.

SOCIAL SERVICE
PLANS DISCUSSED
Methods of Raising Funds at
Erie, Pa, Are Explained
by w. 0. Davies.

Directors of the south Bend Fed
Grafton of Social Service met at a
luncheon at the Y. NJ. G. A. Friday
noon and were addressed by several
local welfare workers upon different
phases Of the work. W. o. Davies,
president Of the federation, who has
lately returned from Erie, Pa, gave
reports Of the social service fedora
ton OF that city
Erie" said Mr.. Davies, sis the
leading city in the United States in
regard to social welfare work. over
100000 is expended during the
year. and the poverty problems are
constantly kept before the people.
Erie contributions are made in
larger amounts than those in this
city, but the number of contribu-
tions which are received in South
Bend partly make up for this def
cheney"
Mr.. Davies then introduced Mark
L. Duncan, the new executive sec
Ietary Of the federation. Mr.. Dun
can dwelt BRIEFLY upon the import
ance of the work and gave some in
teresting facts regarding the work
in Cleveland, showing that one
contri button alone for social well
fare work amounted 10 $4,000.
Several mistakes which were
made last year" said Mr.. Davies,
taking up the discussion again, will
not be made during this campaign.
For instance, the choice Of whom
solicitors may interview, will be left
entirely 10 the solicitors themselves.
Then in the second place, the school
children who were given their
chance to contribute and solicit at
the beginning of the campaign last
year, will get their opportunity this
year during the last few days Of the
campaign.
Then the third mistake to be
remedied is the publicity problem

campaign were constantly filled with
news regarding our work but here
