 Nearly all of the local canneries in Ketchikan are employing girls in capacity other, some label ing, feeding machines and doing the hundreds of odd jobs that do not require much physical eff fort but necessary the catching of the fish Cannerymen say they wish they could get hundreds and maybe then they could put up the fish One prominent superintendent stated yesterday that pro- vided he could get the help he could put up a thousand more day than he is doing at present.
 The girls say they don't mind the work and they do like the pay, which is forty cents an hour and besides they work willingly knowing that they are doing patriotic work making munitions for they part of the vast food army of the United States, and are the mainstay of the man behind the gun.

PATRIOTISM OF

Is Unsurpassed, Say Switch.
mems Officials at Meeting
of Superior Local..

F. E.. Herberling, international
president of the Switchmen's union,
and Thomas Clohessey, of Chicago,
vice president, were the principal
speakers on a program at the meeting
of the Superior union in Tower hall
Monday night.
Both speakers dwelt on the subject
of the benefits derived through UNI
ionism not only to the individual
worker but to the. community and
nation. The importance of the part
the unions Of the country are playing
in. the politics of the nation in the
present crisis was also emphasized.
5 That patriotism prevalent among
members of the various unions of the
country is unsurpassed was one of the
declarations of the speakers who
pointed out that of all subscribers tc
the various war fund drives inaug-
'urated from time to time the unions
lead all other organizations of the
country in liberality: of response.

to accept the same wage as hereto
fore even though the cost of living
has greatly advanced? Certainly it
is the duty of wage workers to do
nothing that would cause any useful
industry to lose time from produc-
ton. There should be no strikes
But there is no more logic in the ar
gument that a wage Garner should
be content with what amounts to a
decrease in wages than there is in the
argument that business men should
be content with smaller profits than
formerly. There is no movment to &C
cept short profits upon the part of
business men. AS matter of fact
handsome profit is an essential feat
IRE of most contracts even in war
industries. All things should be ham
died with reason and with high pa
triotisn, and even the wage question
can be handled that way.

now engaged in an endurance
test in food-saving. It is not the
woman who practices rigid econ

nation win the food race. Rather
it is the steady, consistent saver
who will accomplish most toward
feeding the army and the allies.
Her enthusiasm and effort must
not sag. She must not let her
family grow dissatisfied with
their daily fare because the menus
have become monotonous or unin-
viting. It takes continued in
terest to readjust the eating Of
ones family and keep them smil-

Of it a competitive game. Get the
members of the family interested
in contributing suggestions for
dishes and desserts that will save
food and avoid waste.
And it is a game that must go
on as long as the war lasts. Even

son there will be need for saw
