Canadians Say Japanese Laborers Will Progressive Party Would Demand In­

j
demnity and Apology.
O ttaw a, Ont., June 6.— A r e p o rt'
received at the departm ent of trade
and com m erce from Alexander Mc­
Lean, C anada’s agent to Japan, gives
a press opinion that within a short
time the United States will have more
difficulty in obtaining labor from J a ­
pan than it has now in keeping J a p ­
anese laborers out.
T here is a grow ing demand for
Japanese laborers from alm ost all the
countries of South America and from
Hawaii, which promises, with the de­
mand for men for the developm ent of
Corea and M anchuria, to absorb the
whole of Japan's supply of laborers.
W ithin the last few m onths the emi­
g rant com panies who deal with J a p ­
anese labor as an export com m odity
have filled contracts in Mexico for
16,000 laborers.

Lawyers U rge Prosecution o f H a rri*
man, but Commission is Divided.
W ashington, J u n e 5— Some definite
conclusion is to he reached du rin g the
coming week in re g a rd to th e course to
t>e ta k e n by the Government in the
disposition of the case developed by
the I n te r s ta te Commerce Commiasion
investigation into th e lia r r im a n ra il­
road mergers.
An im p o rta n t confer­
ence is to be held to consider the ques­
tion a t the W hite House in the week,
which will be a tte n d e d by the P re si­
dent, th e members of the I n te r s ta te
Commerce Commission, Messrs. Kellogg
and .Severance, special counsel for
the Commission, and A ttorney-General
Bonaparte.
A t present Mr. Roosevelt is unde­
cided about w hat shall he done. He
has received advice from some sources
urging th a t Mr. H arrim an be prose­
cuted, while other officials of the Gov­
ernment have ta k e n the position th a t
such a prosecution could not be suc­
cessfully carried out. So f a r the P re si­
dent has not given any indication as to
how he regards th e ease. I t is believed
he is not In fa v o r of going any f u r th e r
with th e crusade a g a in st Mr. Harri-
man.
The members of th e I n te r s ta te Com­
merce Commission are also divided on
the question of going a f t e r Mr. H a r r i­
man for alleged violations of the a n ti­
trust law. C hairm an K n a p p is known
to consider the case as developed
against Mr. H a rrim a n of such a c h a r ­
acter th a t it would be a m a tte r of great
u nc e rta inty as to w hether a conviction
could be had. These views are believed
to be shared by a t least two other
members of the Commission, though
they have refused to sta te th e ir
opinions.
