STOPS EMIGRATION.
Japan Finally Yields to Our Views and
will Hereafter Keep Her Labor
ers at Home.

The memorandum Of the Japanese
government in reply to that of the
United States on the subject OF emf
grafton was handed to Ambassador
OBrien at Toxic Wednesday.
1t is understood that it agrees in the
general terms with a number Of sug-
gestions made by the American govern
ment, and requires further restric-
ton Of emigration by the practical
prohibition Of laborers. The Japanese
government points out that the restric-
tions already enforced including the
closing of emigration to Canada, Mex
leo and the Hawaiian islands, will
make further complaints from America
almost impossible.
Every evidence goes to prove that
the Japanese government has been I'M
sparing in its efforts to avoid further
complications rising from the emigTa-
ton question, but the government is
facing a powerful opposition from the
emigration companies who are behind
a proposed revolution in the diet to
eensure the foreign policy of Viscount
Hayashi, minister Of foreign affairs,
toward China, America and Canada.
Should the resolution be introduced
in the diet 1t will be probably defeat
ed by narrow margin. Its passage
would certainly entail the resignation
Of the cabinet. Should tsys cabinet
be changed, the best informed Japan.
csc believe that new administration
would closely follow the emigration
policy of Minister Hayashi
Ex-Ambassador Aoli, since his ar
rival in Toxic, has not called on the
foreign Office, nor has he submitted 3
report on the situation at Washington
but has assumed an attitude of I'M
frlendliness to Minister Hayashi. II
is believed that Aoki is joining the
forces opposing the foreign Office.

In SOLID ARRAY
y
Against Proposed Reduction in
Their Wages By L. & N.
ROOSEVELT ENDORSED
Representatives Of Fourteen Labor Bodies
Meet in Atlanta and Form Com
pact Defensive Organization. w

One thousand five hundred men, rep
resenting fourteen branchessof the la
Dor organizations in the employ OF
the railroads, met in Atlanta, Sunday
afternoon, and passed resolutions op-
posing the proposed cut. in wages by
the railroads, and endorsed the action
of President Roosevelt In ordering the
chairman of the interstate railway
commission to investigate the action
of the Louisville and Nashville road
in cutting wages.
Pleas were made for the perfection
of permanent organization Of all the
railroad employees. To this end a
committee Of five from each Of the
organization was appointed to formu-
late bylaws ands make arrangements
for such an order.
At the meeting, which was held in
the hall of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Trainmen,, every railroad man who
could get a seat or standing room. was
present Several hundred were unable
to gain admittance. 1t was enthusi-
astic and the two resolutions which
were passed were given the unanimous
vote of those present.
The organizations represented were
as follows. Brotherhood of Railroad
Engineers, Brotherhood of Locomotive
F'iremen, Brotherhood Nof Railway
Clerks, Brotherhood of Railway Train
men, brotherhood of Railway Carmen,
Order Of Railway Conductors, Order Of
Railway Telegrapherss international
Association OF Machtnists, Brotherhood
of Boiler Makers and Iron Shipbuild-
ers, Amalgamated Sheet and Metal
Workers and the International Broth
erhood of Blacksmiths. This comprises
every organization in the employ Of a
railroad, both the portable and sta
Ironary departments.
The first resolution adopted was as
follows:
Resolved, That the body of rail-
road employees herein assembled go on
record as being opposed to any reduc-
ton in wages, and that each trade
herein represented is requested to in
form it's grand lodge officers of such
action
The second resolution was:
Resolved, That this body cheerfully
Endorses the action of our courageous
president Of these United States in or
dering the chairman of the interstate
railroad commission to investigate the
action of the Louisville and Nashville
railroad in their desire to cut the
wages of their employees"
The. permanent organization which
will be perfected at the earliest date
possible will in the future decide upon
all issues that come before any one
branch of it. In cases of the present
character dt will be for them to make
a decision.
The meeting places the railroad en-
ployees on a sold footing as being
against the proposed cut in their
wages. This will, of course, if things
come to the worst, mean that strenu-
GUS effort will be made against any
such intended cut. This is the first
general announcement Of the kind, al
though the separate organization have
held meetings recently and adopted the
same resolutions.
