Section Force Reduced.
The section force throughout prac

has been -reduced to the foreman and
one man. The reduction has been
made quietly and in a way that has
hardly been noticed, but the number
of employes has grown less Just the
same. As the section working force
has been made up almost exclusively
of Japanese and Greeks, no one has
taken any Interest In the matter or
cared particularly whether there was
one man or ten left to do the section

NORWEGIAN SARDINE TRADE.
Combination OnuM by tlto Low
IticrH and Competition.
Consul Felix S. 8. Johnson, of Ber
gen, reports that a meeting of the
Norwegian sardine packers was re
cently held at Stavenger to regulate
prices, out put and the number of es
tablishments, with the following results:
It was agreed that no fish should
be packed during the months of Feb
ruary, March and April, a violation
of which, should be paid by a fine
of 5,000 crowns (crown equals 6 8
cents); that a uniform price should
be maintained for the purchase of
fish and that the present munufuc
factories in any other place or
places. Stavanger, the first place In
Norway where sardines were packed,
today lias fifteen establishments.
Some years ago a factory was estab
lished at Bergen, and now the city
has five: several factories were also
put in at Haugesund.
Purlng the past season complaint
has been general of overproduction,
low prices, excessive number of fac
tories, which, with the financial crisis
in the United States, has made profits
small and has obliged packers to form
a union or trust for their future wel
fare.
While during the past year the ex
port of sardines from France to the
United States has decreased, the ex
port of this article from Norway has
Increased from a few thousand dollars
some 10 years ago to $600,000 In 1907
and it is a matter of only a few years
until the Norwegian output will equal
that of any other European country.
Large quantities of Norwegian sar
dines have been sent to France.
Experiments are shortly to be made
at Bergen of putting up sardines as
they are packed at Bordeaux(, Instead
of smoked. Whether this venture will
be a success or not Is to be determined.
SEWING MACHINES IX TASMANIA.
Successful Selling Methods of an
American Company.
Consul Henry D. Baker of Hobart,
has been Impressed with the success
ful exploitation of American sewing
machines In that Australian Island,
concerning which he writes:
The Hobart agency of one Ameri
can company has been selling an
average of 30 sewing machines a
week. It has 17 traveling men who
visit the smaller towns of Tasmania
and explain directly to possible buy-
era all the particular advantages of
this American machine. These trav
eling men are natives of Tasmania
who have been carefully selected and
trained. The results are satisfactory
and in the future are likely to be still
more so, as the new Australian tariff
act takes off the 10 per cent duty on
sewing machines. The canvassers are
not permitted to handle any other ar
ticle, in marked contrast to the pol
icy pursued by most American manu
facturers in seeking to sell goods in
Australia, through general agents at
Melbourne and Sylney who are agents
for many other articles, some of
which compete with those of their
own manufacture.
