The California Japanese situation
will be considered by the cabinet to-
morrow, when, on Secretary Bryan's
return from New York, Governor
Johnson's answer to the national adj
ministration's request for delay in his
signing the anti-alien land bill will
be taken up.
The state department officials to-
day are very reticent but intimate
they will make no move until Cover
nor Johnson signs the bill to which
Japan objects.
After his signature, it is expected
that Japan will file new protest,
reiterating it's treaty rights and
notifying the federal government that
enforcement of the California law
will be considered an infringement
on these rights.
Reports received at Denver today

Secretary Redfield was the guest
of the photographers and, when he
arose to speak, read part of circular
issued by the Bithographsrs' Associa-

the Underwood bill foreshadowed a
period of idle workmen, lower wages
and longer hours.

take in the present diplomatic tension
between Washington and Toxic, over
the anti-alien land bill of California,
which Governc Johrs son will prabably
