Sli1nCf1ancefor
Jap in American
BusinessH Houses
BY Tihara Ishesi.

'~HE Japanese who comes to this country
is at disadvantage because most OF
those OF his countrynen who have
como here have lived In the capacity
OF servants Wallets, buffers, cooks, etc.
Also he Is OF different race, yellow In color,
and the Anglo. Saxon is proneto class every
thing yellow under the general name OF
Chnaman and let 1t go at that. For these
reasons the young man of Japan who comes
here with the idea Of working into a good
position Is apt to have troubles before his
aim Is attained, II no does attain It. Up to
within a few years ago there were prac-
ticaly no places open for him save as a
laborer or menlal servant. Then a few
Americans learned that the Jap is a most
efficient valet, butler, or general servant,
and as consequence some thousands OF
ex.subjects OF the mikado are here IN this
country now earning living as servants.
There are plenty Of labore-s from japan
employed In the west, where their willing

to be much in demand but in the east or IN
tho large cities 1t lisa different thing.
Hero It Is taken for granted that a Jap
is either servant, or an artist, or 1in
1itsu expert It Is hard to make the Amer1-
Gun business man believe that Jap may
make good clerk or salesman. or a good
business man. Yet the Jap possesses most
OF the qualities esteemed In the large nusi-
ness houses OF the country. He Is quick 70
learn, polite. energetic, and neat. But ~
