Muriyama. who went To- British
columbia to look after the collecting
of the $25 per head advanced to tine
100 Kumeric passengers. arrived
home only last week ON the Alameda.
Regarding the labor condition I'm the
Northwest he said There is abso-
lutely no good grounds for the opposi-
ton to Japanese in Vancouver There
is more than enough work for all. and
the only trouble is that there is not
enough labor to go AROUND. Why, in
less than ten days after the Kumeric
crowd landed there wasn't a Japanese
of the lot who wasn't at work at from
S1.75 to $500 per day. They we're
snapped up by contractors and rushed
out i'm all directions The only trou-
bic is caused by the antagOnism of the
labor unions, and does not indicate
that there is a lack of work I'm Canada.
or that there is not a demand for more
labor than can be supplied"
Chillingworth declared that ne and
Muriyama had been personally losers
on the Kumeric venture to the amount
of $170O, owing to the obstacles placed
in their way of collecting the 1926 a
head from the Japs as they landed at
Vancouver They denied however that
others had been losers in the venture
and stated that the derogatory and
personal attacks made on them
through the medium of the two Japa-
nese papers, the Hawaii Shinpo and
the Jill, both of which are now under
one management. They further de-
clared that libel suits for damages
would shortly be instituted against
these papers.
Muriyama stated that it was
tbrouorh tha 0pn,c{t{Dr Of tba Nor-
couver authorities that he was unable
to collect from the Japanese. Through
their efforts he was not allowed to
take the money as they landed, and as
soon as they were ashore they began
to scatter 1t was not until Chilling
worth could get upon the scene and
get the wires in operation that he was
able to bring pressure enough to bear
to allow them to make such collection
as they could, and then he and Muri-
yama got busy and rounded up all OF
the Kumeric bunch that they could
and made them come through with
their S25 per However by the time
they got at it many of the Japs had
been shipped clear out of reach to rail-
road camps and other places, so that
it was impossible to get near all of it..
Muriyama was in Vancouver at the
time of the late anti-Oriental riots
there, and he saw a good deal of the
row He declared that the mob was
| made up of rowdies spurred on by in
hamatory speeches of labor union
leaders, but that the Japs were able to
look out for themselves, and did so,
without sustaining any very serious
/ damage except in way of property de-
/ strOyed, which the country will have
to make good.
Chillingworth is confident that Van
couver will not be able to refuse to
admit the Japanese coming from Ha.
wall because Hawaii is a part of the
| United States and she cannot refuse
admittance to anyone from United
States territory.
Anyhow" declared Chillingworth
Brazil is crying for japanese labor
ers and we have a contract for 10000
right now, and we are going to fill it
The Japs want to go all right, and We
won't have any trouble at this enc
of the line"
