ENGLAND LOSES TRADE.
The United States and Japan have
taken, ever since the beginning of
the war, virtually all of the big ex
port trade which the Central Pow
ers had with India, says an official
report, which adds that, undoubted
ly, American competition in India
has come to stay.
The place of the Central Powers
has been taken by the United States
so far as iron and steel, machinery,
hardware, and instruments are con
cerned. Japan has taken the trade
heretofore held by the Central Pow
ers in such articles of electrical
accessories, copper, paper, glass
ware, textiles, beer, and clothing.
The bazaar trade in cheap, showy
goods has been entirely captured by
Japan.
The primary reason for the in
creased shipments of American
manufactued goods to India has been
the inability of the established Brit
ish exporters to supply the market,
owing to war conditions, says the
report. Improved shipping facilities
between the United States and India
are declared to have very largely
contributed to the expansion.
“There is no doubt," adds the
report, “that American competition
in India has come to stay. A de
termined effort is being made to
secure a large share of the trade
of this valuable market in steel and
steel work, machinery of all kinds,
including machine tools, mill stores
and hardware; canned provisions;
motor-cars, lorries and cycles, and
lumber.”
Japan now occupies the second
place in India’s import and export
trade. It is in Great Britain’s sta
ple trade of India, namely cotton
yarns and piece goods, that the
most serious inroads have been
made and that Japanese competi
tion in the future is expected to be
most permanent and insistent.

PM OF PROFIT
For the first time in Cordova and,
it is believed, in Alaska, an estab
lished business has been incorpor
ated and its employes given share.-,
of stock permitting them a voice in
the management and a share in the
profits of the business.
Jones’ laundry, formerly known
as the Modern laundry, was incor
porated in November, and as a
Christmas present all regular-em
ployed workers were given shares in
the corporation. When questioned
as to the reason for the incorpora
tion, F. A. Jones, president and
general manager of the laundry, de
clared that the rapid growth of his
business during the last few years
had made it necessary, and also that
he desires to be prepared for the
period of prosperity of which he
ibelieves Cordova is now on the eve.
I The officers of the corporation
jare: F. A. Jones, president and
jtreasurer; Mrs. F. A. Jones, vice
president. and R. H. L. Noaks, sec
| rotary.
| Ten years ago, Mr. Jones started
■the present laundry, then known as
'the Cordova steam laundry. In 1913
!he entered into partnership with his
strongest competitor, N. A. Clasen,
owner of the Keystone laundry, the
partners naming their enterprise the
;Modern laundry. In 1916 Mr. Jones
j purchased the interest of Mr.
Clasen, and since that time has had
| active management of the business,
j Mr. Jones launched his business
jin 1910 on a capital of $500. The
! present corporation is capitalized at
i $20,000. There are now from 11
to 14 workmen regularly on the
j payroll, and at rush times as many
las sixteen. This represents a yearly
| payroll of over $20,000.
Jones’ laundry handles about 90
! percent of the laundry work of Cor
