JAPS DISREGARD
Immigration Law
Pacific Coast Men Declare YeI-
low Peril Is Economic, Not :.
Racial, Question.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9-The So
called "gentlemen's agreement" be-
tween the United States and Japan is
declared V. S. ,McClatchy of Sacra-
mento, CAL, and Miller Freeman of
Seattle before the house immigration
committee. The agreement provides
that no Japanese laborers shall be
admitted to this country. The wit
nesses urged adoption of policy of
absolute exclusion by the United
States and the deportation of Asiatics
now in this country. The Sacramento
witness declared that the situation
on the Pacific coast was an example
of what would happen elsewhere and
Nould finally result ''in the United
States being made Japanese
province"
1.-The question is purely an eco
nomic one. not racial one" said Mr..
McClatchy, who assailed the making
of the gentlemen's agreement as "a
serious blunder."
"The Japanese government is issu-
ing passports under any head except
labor" asserted Mr.. Freeman. "The
only way of solving the ploblem is by
legislation; it cannot be solved by ad
ministration of existing laws"
Mr.. McClatchy said a policy of alb
solute exclusion of the Japanese be-
cause of their economic standards
would be by practicing policy en-
forced by the Japanese in their coun-
try against the Chinese and Koreans.
The first importation of Chinese labor
ers into Japan occurred last Decen-
ber, Sc haid, and resulted in the gov
ernment compelling the industrial
concern bringing them to the island
to return them in January, at an ex-
penditure of $4,000 of the concerns

ence of business men, held Under the
auspices of the Illinois Manufacture
ers' association, special attention was
paid to the farmers. These sons Of
tempt to orga1-ize and Ito buy, sell
and bargain collectively concerning
their own products.
A demand was made that present
laws be clarified so that this cooper

In the case of the industrial work.
ers, however, these business men
sounded a different note, and de-
manded that no union be permitted
unless it accepts legal responsibility
for it's action and those of it's officers
and agents."
The conference called for the abol-
ishment of legislation that prohibits
the Taylor" system and other sweat
shop practices in navy yards and
arsenals. The business men don't like
the proposed International l. Dor con-

to go to Washington and submit the

The business men called their

self opposed to all the bills now in
congress providing for compulsory
training. He says:
II have yours of the fourteenth in
stant, protesting as mother against
certain legislation pending in congress
providing for compulsory military
training.
II am opposed to the legislation
now under consideration, and do not
believe it is necessary to resort to
compulsory military training in order
to maintain a suitable and adequate
defense for the country. I am of the
opinion that a small standing army,
and volunteer force when needed
will meet all the requirements Of the
situation.
Yours sincerely,
"Boies Penrose"

SEAMEN DID NOT DRIVE
PACIFIC MAIL FROM SEA

Editor Scharrenberg Of the Sea-
mans Journal again takes up the
weary task of denying that the sea-
mems law drove the Pacific Mail
Steamship company off the Pacific
ocean.
The latest to spin this yarn is
Homer l.. Ferguson, president of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States At a banquet he said the Pa
cific ocean was being turned into a
Japanese lake."
1T beats ALL" writes Scharrenberg,
what lot Of nonsense wellfed, port
ly gentlemen can get off their chests
at public banquet. At the risk of
boring our readers, we will state here
for the hundred and 'steenth time that
the Pacific mail people were never
driven from the ocean. When the war
came along they found the pickings
on the Atlantic ever so much better
than on the Pacific, so they forth
with sent all their best and largest
ships over to the east coast. Their
smaller ships, all of them vessels of
an old and obsolete type, the COM
pany sold at profit. the size of which
would, before the war. have staggered
the most imaginative of the directors
In fact the company had tried for
several years before the war to sell
these ships, but without success.
And that's all there is to the
yarn about the seamen's act driving
the Pacific mail from the ocean. Mr..
Homer L. Ferguson to the contrary
