ALASKA FISHERY AND FUR-SEAL INDUSTRIES, 1926 285 
Employment was given to 21,906 persons, as compared with 21,805 
in 1925, an increase of 101. White employees increased 80, natives 
340, Filipinos 376, Negroes 9, and miscellaneous (including Kanakas) 
14, while Chinese decreased 131, Japanese 5, Porto Ricans 130, and 
Mexicans 452. 
The total pack of canned salmon was 6,652,882 cases, valued at 
$46,080,004. This was an increase of 2,192,945 cases, or 49 per cent, 
and an increase in value of $14,090,473, or 44 per cent. The output 
in southeastern Alaska increased from 2,802,414 cases to 3,058,055, 
or 9 per cent; central Alaska from 1,052,593 cases to 2,146,485, or 
104 per cent; and western Alaska from 604,930 cases to 1,448,342, or 
139 per cent. The increase was attributable to the large run of reds 
in western Alaska, combined with the immense run of humpbacks 
in central Alaska. In Alaska as a whole the pack of reds increased 
from 1,059,676 cases to 2,157,087, or 103.6 per cent; kings from 49,978 
cases to 52,476, or 5 per cent; humpbacks from 2,110,593 cases to 
3,338,349, or 58 per cent; and cohos from 161,010 cases to 202,527, 
or 25.8 per cent. The only decrease was in the pack of chums, of 
which species 902,443 cases were packed, as against 1,078,680 in 1925, 
a decrease of 176,237 cases, or 16.3 per cent.
