FISHERMEN AND OTHER EMPLOYEES. 



FISHERMEN. 



White men do the greater part of the fishing for salmon, many- 

 nationalities being represented, but Scandinavians and Italians pre- 

 dominate almost everywhere. A number of Greeks are to be found 

 fishing in the Sacramento, while Slavonians do most of the purse 

 seining on Puget Sound. The native-born American is not often 

 found actually engaged in fishing, but frequently is the owner of the 

 gear or has a responsible position in the packing plants. 



A number of Indians participate in the fisheries of Alaska and a 

 few fish in Washington. The only Chinese engaged in fishing are in 

 ^lonterey Bay. A number of Japanese also fisli in this bay, which is 

 the only place in American territory where they fish for salmon. A 

 considerable number of Japanese engage in fishuig in Canadian waters.
