PIONEER PLANT
TO INCREASE
ITSCAPACITY
Superintendent Frank E. McCon
aghy. of the Pioneer Packing com
pany, who recently returned from the
states, says that extensive improve
ments will be made to their plant,
which will greatly increase the capac
ity of their cannery.
Two new buildings are to be erect
ed, one being a two story fish house
40 by 60 feet. The other will be a
large structure with the commissary
and office on the ground floor and liv
ing quarters overhead.
The entire plant is to be electrified,
and the speed on two of the clam
lines will be increased to the same
capacity as the third line. There will
also be installed a one line salmon,
which will be interchangeable.
There are at present about thirty
men employed in getting the boats in
readiness and this force will be in
creased as soon as work is started on
the improvements. During the fish
ing season a crew of two hundred will
be on the payroll of the company, and
in the employment of men preference
is being given to tho3e residing in
Cordova. In fact but little of the help
will come from the states.
On February 15 the cannery tender
Anna Porter will leave Aberdeen for
Cordova, in charge of Capt. Fletch
er Cawker. The launch Jeane, Capt.
Harry Moore, will be here in April,
leaving Seattle on the first of that
month.
JAPANESE WANT CHANGES
IN IMMIGRATION LAWS
HONOLULU, Jan. 5 (by maH)..—
According to advicos received here
by the Nlppu Jiji, a Japanese daily
newspaper, emigration societies of
Japan are advocating several modifi
cations of the regulations now gov
erning Japanese emigration to the
United States and other countries.
One change asked Is the extension
from a year and a half to three years
of the period allowed for the return
to the United States of Japanese who
have gone to the homeland for a visit.
It is said that there are now in Japan
several thousand Japanese who can
not return to Hawaii because they
have overstayed the time limit.
Another change proposed is to per
mit Japanese picture brides to obtain
passports for the United States im
mediately after their marriage ha3
been reported to the American au
thorities. At present a picture bride
must wait in Japan six months before
she can leave to join the man she
married by mail.
