Fresno Cali, Sept. 21.-The war
between Russia and Japan has had
an unforeseen effect upon the raisin
industry of California and the owners
of vineyards in this part Of the state
have great difficulty to overcome the
complications arising from the lack
of Japanese grape pickers. Japanese
are almost exclusively used for pick
ing and sorting the grapes used in
making raisins. In former years there
was always an abundance Of Japanese
for that work, but when the war broke
out so many of the men returned to
Japan to serve in the army against
the Russians, that Japanese help of
every kind became extremely scarce
on the coast. Now, that the packing
season is on, the growers experience
great difficulty in securing the re-
quired help for bringing in the har-
vest. The Southern Pacific and the
Santa Fe railroads have been appealed
to, to allow reductions in the force of
laborers on the coast who are willing
to come here to work in the vineyards.
The result, so far, has not been salts
