Tho Japanese In California.

Every month sees more Japanese ar
rive, and larger percentage Of them
are common laborers, who enter the hop
yards, orchards and sugar beet fields Of
California. In fruit packing they have
crowded ont white men and women
They are as quick as women and girls
in handling fruit and are more accurate
and steadily industrious. They practi.
cally monopolize the industry Of beet
pulling ON the large ranches devoted to
the sugar beet. Complaints Of the rapid
displacement Of white laborers by Japa-
nese in orchard work induced the labor
bureau recently to make an investiga-
ton. They found that the japanese
worked under a cooperative plan and
that by this means they were able to
make contracts at low prices. Several
associations in San Francisco are en-
gagged in house cleaning, dividing the
profits among their members. The Jap
anese are doing large trade in San
Francisco in bamboo ware and mating,
which are used mainly for decoration of
rooms. They have cut into the Chinese
trade in curios and embroidered silk
garments. -Chautauquan.
