The Caucasian. (Shreveport, La.) 1900-192?, 1907-07-07

The latest news from Texas is thai
the lumber mill owners, having grown
weary of the shiftless negroes and
Mexicans. are employing Japs in their
stead. 1t is said that the number of
Japs now so employed in the Lone
Star State amounts to 1900 or 1900
