Every time a newspaper writer touch
es the subject of armed Japs invading
this country, a portion of the daily
press throw fit. 1t is criminal to do
anything to disturb the entente cordiale
between the two governments 1t may
be criminal but the people on the Pa
cific Coast don't share the comfortable
feeling of those high brows in the East
one thousand, two thousand miles away
from the danger zone. We have heard
persistent stories that the Mukilteo
Japs had arms and ammunition stored
away in their shacks, We asked prom.
inent citizen of that place the other
day if there was any truth in that re-
port. His voice became serious at once
as he replied:
1--WE can none of us take oath to that
effect but we are all morally certain
it is true"
This man is not an agitator but a
sober, serious minded business man who
thinks before he speaks. He told us this
little, significant story:
"Some months ago, when the anti
Japanese agitation caused by the San
Francisco school trouble and the Van
eouver riots was at its height, an en-
ploye of the Mukilteo Lumber Co. was
called home. 1t appeared that he was
an officer in the japanese army. His
fellow employees escorted him to the
train and they marched in double
colume formation from their quarters
to the depot"
The same gentleman told us that Jap
anese mill hands had been discovered
poring over blue prints of the Puget
Sound country. These things may have
no especial significance, but they make
one feel rather neomfortable, don't
they? Quite as if one were sitting over
a powder magazine with no means of
knowing when the match would be ap-
piled. So much for that phase of the
Mukilteo Jap problem.
It is interesting to talk with differ
ent persons of that little city about
their labor problem. One and all they
condemn the situation, but for various
reasons. One resident who is heavy

not as easy thing as some might think
to put in twelve or fourteen hours out

the added cost of transportation. Meth

family household from place to place,
when you have made little home with
its garden spot and orchard. So, many
returned to the services of the company,
deeming the petty tyrannies and ever

lesser of the two evils.

1t is hardly necessary to state again
here fact that has been proven in ev
cry community on the Pacific Coast
where the Jap has gained a foothold:
That he adds nothing to the wealth of
the community. The employer of jap

does not care. Citizenship, material

to him. He is there to fill his own
pockets. After him, the delugel

to the company's manager as well from
each Jap's supposed monthly pay. Now
we begin to see light. One dollar a
month is held out from the mems wages
for hospital and doctors fees.
Two or three years ago Presby-

The lumber was very generously do

cost on the structure was estimated to
be between six and seven hundred dol

assessed a certain amount each month
and it was donated to "home missions"

OF RAILWAY
TRAINMEN STRIKE THEIR FLAG

The public has been given the impress
sion from some sources, easily traceable,
that the switchmens strike is settled
Such is absolutely not the case, neither
is it true that the striking switchmen
have returned to work. We are in
formed that members of the brother
hood of railway trainmen who deserted
the strikers and went back to work
have attempted to save their own face
with organized labor by arguing that
the strike was lost anyhow and there
fore they were justified in going back
to work while they could get back.
These are the facts as given to The
Journal by local officials of the Switch
mems union:
The members of the trainmen's or
ganization that struck with the switch
men, signed of their own volition an
agreement to strike and would have had
their pay increased in the same ratio
with the switchmen when the demands
of the men were granted. Ten of the
B. r. T. members have deserted the
switchmen and returned to work in the
local yards. For doing this they get
an increase of cents an hour, a prop
osition that was offered the strikers
from Billings west at the beginning of
the struggle, and which offer the
strikers refused. The trainmen deserted
at a time when the switchmen were as
full of fight as the first day of the
trouble and when terminal yards were
full of congested freight. Whether
their organization sanctioned officially
their return to work or not is not
known, but certain it is they never
lifted a hand to prevent their going
back and thus weakening the strikers
ranks. The trainmen couldn't stand the
gaff and how they can attempt to
square their conduct by any known
spirit of unionism, is an enigma that
true blue union men cannot solve.
The local members of the Switchmen's
union are naturally disgusted with the
treachery of the trainmen. The strike
was declared on by the switchmen's
head officials and can only be declared
off by the same officials, and they saw
the trainmen knew that when thev went
out with them
Notwithstanding this detection the
switchmen are not licked by any means.
Eighteen members of the Switchmen's
union went out in the local yards and
but two of that number have gone
back. They have a right to be proud
OF that record. In Seattle, Tacoma, St.
Paul and Minneapolis, in fact all of the
terminal points affected, the switchmen
are holding like rock. The switchmen
say when Hawley says the strike is
off, then it's off, and not before that.
And Hawley isn't quitting this fight as
long as there is chance. Hawley has
a few cards up his sleeve yet, the bows
say.
1t would be just as well for the public
to take false reports of the strike be.

didn't have sand enough to stand the

The cooks and walters are agitating
a six-day working week for their men,
bers in this city. They already have it
in Seattle and they ought to have It
here. No laboring man or woman should
be compelled to work more than six
days in every seven. This does not
mean that hotels and restaurants will
be asked to close shop on Sunday. Don't
run away with that idea.
