STRIKE
Tokyo Association Members
Demand Increase in Pay
and Pension.

TOKYO. March 2.-Sport lovers Of
this capital are compelled for the
time being to seek other forms of
amusement than wrestling as a re-
suit Of a recent strike of members
Of the Tokyo Wrestlers' Associa-
ton. Most Of the active members
have demanded an increase of s
per cent In their pay and all re-
tired wrestlers have demanded that
their pensions be doubled.
The strike was called at the time
the New Years tournament was to
take place. AS result that event
was indefinitely postponed Of
ficials of the wrestling association
have held several conferences with
striking members in an effort to eff
feet an agreement, but without
avail.
AS a means of enforcing their de-
mands the striking members of
what Is in fact a wrestlers' union
are planning to hold their. own
tournament as a rival attraction to
any the officials may be able to
arrange. Not all OF the wrestlers
have joined the strike Onishlki,
grand champion Sumo wrestler, is
with the officials, but trying to ef-
feet reconciliation with the strik-
ers. Aside from a few younger
wrestlers, however, most Of the big
matmen of the city are out and
with no appearance Of weakening.
A wrestlers' strike in JaDan is
equivalent in its relation to the
public to an actors strike I'm West
