RAIL ADMINISTRATION
TO CUT DOWN LITIGATION
IN PERSONAL INJURIES
Gives Warning That 1t Will Deal
Direct With Persons Injured
and Settle Claims on an
Equitable Basis.

Washington, July John Bar
ton Payne, general counsel of the
United States railroad administra-
ton, has outlined the general policy
which will be followed in handling
personal injury claims against rail-
road companies while under federal
control.
The federal control act, he states,
contemplates that suits for personal
injuries may be brought as hereto
fore. but provides that executions
may not be levied on the property
of the carrier while in the posses
sion of the government. This means
that while a judgment may be re-
covered. it devolves upon the di-
rector general to provide for pay
ment and this places upon him the
responsibility OF considering the
merits of the claims and the persons

This does not mean says Cen

attorneys and solicitors who have
no claim upon the government. The
right is reserved to consider the
merits ip determining what provi-

policy OF the government to dis

the expense of litigation, and with

an extent that the Oriental char
acterstics are prominent in their
features and many Peruvian girls
attempt to hide this trait by wear
ing dark glasses.
Formerly the Chinese exclusively
overran the country but during
the last few years the Japanese
have been arriving in numbers that
alarm Peruvians.
The newspapers point out what
they describe as dangerous sltua-

ing the native Peruvians out of al
most every trade, by woring much
cheaper than the Peruvians.
The japanese own and operate
the majority Of barber shops, the
Peruvian carpenter has given way to
japanese, and apanese servants are
rapidly replacing the diligent An
dine servants. Doctor Pardo, the
president of the republic, has 80
Japanese servants in his mansion, \
fact that has been much comment
ed upon in recent newspapers,
The japanese also have forced
the native workers out Of the small
trades and minor industries such as
laundrics, dairies, tin shops, news
stands, messenger services, small
cafes, etc.
FL TEMPO OF Lima is one OF sew
eral newspapers which have open
ed their columns for discussion as
to how the Peruvian laborers can
be protected against this INVASION
in view OF the fact that the invad-
ers appear to be perfectly content
ed to work just as hard as the ma
tive for half his wages.
