The giant "King Crab" of the Bering Sea, which before the war supplied a substantial amount of the canned crab meat which the Japanese sold to the United States, will be canned commercially by Americans for the first time this year. Prior to the war the Japanese were taking the "King Crab" in sight of American territory, canning it on floating canneries, and shipping it to the United States for sale. In one pre-war year alone we imported 10,720,000 pounds of crab meat valued at 4,582,000 dollars from Japan and ninety-five percent of our canned crab meat came from this source

View of the Gorenflo Canning Co., Biloxi, Miss., taken at 7 A.M. Many tiny workers here, some of whom began to arrive at the factory as early as 5 o'clock, an hour before they were allowed to begin work, and long before daylight on a damp-foggy day. The whistle had blown and they came and stood around merely to hold their places. When the "catch" has been good, they begin work early, but today it was not good so they were waiting for daylight. In this group I ascertained the ages of a few, as follows, 1 child of 6 years, 1 of 7, 2 of 8, 1 of 10 and there were many more. See report also. Location: Biloxi, Mississippi
