Facts
Commercial fishing is a dangerous line of work.
In March 1900, some fishermen contracted with Alaska Packers' Association (APA) to man a fishing boat for the salmon season. The boat would depart from San Francisco, catch salmons, deliver the catch at APA's Alaska cannery, & return to San Francisco.
APA would pay each fisherman
$50 + $0.02/salmon.
All of a sudden in May 1900, the fisherman stopped working altogether. They demanded a base payment of $100!
APA was in a bind: the salmon season was exceedingly short & the fishing waters were remote.
The superintendent was forced to execute a $100/fisherman contract after which the fishermen resumed work. Nevertheless, the superintendent paid them according to the original contract once the work was completed.
The following month, more fisherman joined to receive
$60 + $0.02/salmon
