two Japanese gentlemen carry calling

tives of this society, which is absolutely
unknown in the labor world. The doc
tor succeeded in securing these two men

from the upper classes in Japan, inde-
pendently wealthy, university graduate

craving establishment in Toxic.
Before leaving Japan these men had
to secure passports from the japanese
government, which government has a
perfect knowledge of the-real intent of
this visit. To the contrary, the pass
ports would not have been issued. Can
you conceive OF the Japanese government
supplying official credentials to two of
its subjects in order that they might
study the American labor movement and
in turn organize the same sort of
movement in Japan Absurd, isn't itl
Particularly so when the japanese gov
ernment does not permit labor organi-
cations to exist, and hangs harmless
socialists. Taking these things into
consideration it is only reasonable to
suppose that the Japanese government
acquiesced in issuing the passports be-

Those Japanese Labor Delegates
LSIT AN ABUSE OF COURTESY?
By WILLIAM T. BONSOR
In San francisco Labor Clarion

Is the American Federation of Labor
and it's affiliated bodies being made the
butt of trickery in the present visit to
this country of two japanese gentlemen
who are claimed to represent the work
ers of Japan. The matter of fraternal
workers might be considered a master
stroke in the art OF diplomacy re-
CARDS the present case when all is con-
sidered. A few words based upon OBJ
servations may not be entirely out of
place.
Let it be understood that We have on
two occasions conversed at length with
DIR. Eidney l.. Gulick on the entire sit
uation and have listened to the story
OF b. Suzuki and 5. Yoshimatsu as told
by themselves.
DIR. Gulick, who has lived in Japan for
nearly 80 years, has developed pet
immigration scheme which would permit
of Japanese, Chinese and Hindoo immi-
grafton. He has interested some people
connected with the federal council of
churches of Christ in America to support
"A propaganda which seeks to solve the
Asatic problem
Organized labor has consistently OPP
posed Asatic immigration and compe
titon. Why not attempt to pacify this
oppositionl 1t Is very likely the key
to the situation. At the Philadelphia
convention of the American Federation
OF Labor, DIR. Gulick was extremely busy.
Fraternal labor delegates appeared be-
fore the convention from various eom-
tries, as they always do.
If japanese, representing the workers
OF Japan, could only appear before and
address labor bodies in America the die
would be cast. Publicity would roll out
more freely than water. The ever-im-
posed-upon public would then believe
that the labor movement had reversed
itself and was no longer opposed to-
Asiatic immigration and competition.
The public would miseonstrue the over
worked principles of courtesy involved.
DR.. Gulick, after interviewing numer-
Gus delegates, set out for Japan to Sc
cure fraternal delegates from Japan who
could appear in San Francisco in 1918.
Unfortunately, Japan has no labor
movement. The government does not
permit it. DIR. Gulick says so. and he
ought to know. There is however. a
-Workingmeu's Friendly Society" We
are now told. As to its objects and
achievements little can be- said, a. DIR.
Gulick himself knew next to nothing
concerning it few months ago. The

Truth Neuer Dies

Truth never dies. The ages come and go ;
The mountains wear away; the seas
retire;
Destruction lays earth's mighty cities
low;
And empires, states and dynastics eX-
pire;
But caught and handed onward BY the
wise,
Truth never dies.
Tho mreceived and scoffed at thru the
years,
Tho made the butt of ridicule and lest !;
Tho held aloft for mockery and jeers,
Denied by those OF transient power
possessed,
Insulted by the insolence OF lies,
Truth never dies
Truth answers not; it does not take
offense;
But with mighty silence bides its
time,
As some great cliff that braves the ele-
ments,
And lifts thru all the storms its head
sublime;
So truth, unmoved, ity puny foe icfies,
And never dies.
