LABOR PROBLEM STlRS
LONG BEACH JAPANESE
Threaten Bodily Harm to Men of
Same Race Imported from
Los Angeles to Take
Their Jobs

LONG BEACH, Oct. 23.-The Japan
ese inZLong Beach object seriously to
Los Angeles japanese securing work
here in hotels and apartment houses.
A sort of union Is believed to have been
formed with the object of keeping the
Japanese living in this city in all the
better jobs.
At midnight last night a young Jap
anese employed at the Ward, modern
apartment house at the foot of Magno-
liza avenue, wrote a letter to his en-
ployer stating that on account OF
threats made by Long Beach Japanese
because he had come from Los Angeles
to work here he was afraid to retain
his job. He tackled the letter on the
wall and slipped away from the house.
Not having been seen since, he is
thought to have returned to Los Ange-
les. The letter showed that the boy
had been terrified by the threats, and
that he had kept the outside door at the
rear of the building locked for week
for fear the Japanese would come in
and harm him.
The boy was given the place after
Long Beach Japanese had been dis
charged, and proved an excellent
worker.
