JApANEsE LABOR ON THE PA
clFic COAST.

There has been such a stir over the
Japanese coolie question that con-
siderablbe interest attaches to re-
cent records of Japanese immigration.
Indications on the surface are not
alarming, since the tables prepared
by the commissioner OF immigration
show a relatively small invasion from
the Orient. As compared with the
273,00O newcomers from Italy during
the fiscal year ending June 80. 1906.
there were only 1885 arrivals from
japan, and In the preceding year the
number was but 1881.
Commissioner Sargent has much to
say, however, of schemes to evade
the contract labor laws by the i'm
portAtion of Japanese. While their
government, 1t appears, will issue pass
ports to only limited number OF Its
subjects bound for mainland ports.
they can procure passports to Ha-
wall easily. There they put up at ho-
tells kept by labor agents, and there
II NO evidence upon which to report
them they are undisturbed. They
may remain a few days or weeks in
the islands, and then they ship for
our northwestern ports. Having al
ready been admitted to the United
States at the Hawaiian port their voy-
age thence is coastswise. and they
cannot be examined upon arrival at
the mainland port under the alien con-
tract or any other provision Of the i'm
migration lawa-
The commissioner calls attention to
the fAct that. while under this method
Of procedure the direct immigration
from Japan to San Francisco was very
small during the year, Japanese arriv-
cd there coastwise from Honolulu and
from Canadian ports at the rate OF
1000 to 5000 per month. The latter
figure however, must have been much
above the average. for the total i'm
migration Of all aliens at various
places on the Pacific is given as fol-
lows; Honolulu. $3.50; San Francis
70. 4.1Ss: Seattle, 1916; through Ca
madam ports, 2.023.
We have already shown by reference
to the report Of the labor commission
or for California that 30 far at least
there has been no appearance of
s!ut In the labor market Of the state
from immigration Of any sort. There

for labor both in the cities and in the
country. The report takes cognizance
OF the fact, and so do the local pa
pcrs and the conventions OF the en-
ployers Of labor. White immigrants
from the east would unquestionably
be welcomed. and farmers and fruit
raisers are glad to get help of any
clor. The Japanese work for lower
wages than the whites. but as condi-
uons are at present there is more
