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 Pee in fishing are in 
Monterey Bay. A number of Japanese also fish in this bay, which is 
the only place in American territory where they fish for salmon. A 
considerable number of Japanese engage in fishing in Canadian waters.
