Beattie, July 18. — Japanese • labor
contractors w ill not agree to the Isth­
mian commission’ s programme o f ex­
perimenting with the labor o f different
countries.
A recent dispatch from
Washington says the commission has
decided to secure 2,000 laborers of d if­
ferent national itiee under a 500-day
contract, with the idea in view of
newing the contract for such laborers
as were found satisfactory.
The question of employing Japanese
laborers on the isthmus was first taken
up with the commission and Secretary
Taft by the Oriental Trading company,
of Seattle. This is the most important
labor contracting firm in the North­
west.
■ V ice President C. T . Takahashi said
today that his company would not
agree to each a proposal. "T h e re is no
money in such a short contract,’ ’ he
continued. " I f we could get a four-
year or a five-year contract, Japanese
laborers coaid be supplied.
As it is
the laborers would have to be brought
from Japan and returned to their
hornee after the work was completed.
To collect 2,000 men, carry them to
the isthmus and then return them to
their homes after a 600-day contract
had .bean completed ia not practicable.
Oar proposal to supply Japanese
labor has been before the commission
and Washington officials for some time.
W e havS not been notified that an
experimental contract might be made
and I do not think we would accept a
contract if offered one.’ ’
The Oriental Trading company pro­
posed to protide its own. foremen,
choosing men accustomed to directing
railroad and similar construction work.
M INERS IN TERROR.
Appeal to Govarnment for Protection
_____
Against Outlaws.
8eattle, July 18.— Miners operating
on the creeks near Fairbanks, Alaska,
have appealed to the United States
government for protection from out­
laws who are terrorizing that district.
General Constance William s, in com­
mand pf the Department of the Colom­
bia, has been instructed by the War
department to investigate, and if condi­
tions are aa bad as the miners claim,
troops w ill he rushed into the T&nana
country.
The telegraph lines into
Fairbanks are down and General W il­
liams’ investigation is likely to be de­
layed for several days. In the mean­
time a large Alaska community is ter­
rorised, for the situation is even worse
than that which existed at Skagway
during the "Soapy Smith’ ’ days.
Telegraphic advices from the North
declare that hold-ups and the boldest of
robberies are becoming so frequent that
an attack on some of the banks is
feared by the miners. The mine owners
are afraid to either bring their dust
into town or keep it at their campe.
The outlaws are holding up strong pack
trains and robberies at campe are so
numerous that they have become ex­
pected.
Tbe miners ip the Tanana country
have but a few weeks in which to make
their annual cleanup and the. depreda­
tions of the outlaws threaten the year’ s
business. The district abont Fairbanks
has had a remarkable winter and the
cleanup would be the heaviest in the
camp’ s history if the miners are able
to work. Fear of losing everything by
robbery is holding back the spring
clean-np.

Tokio, July 18.— It is unofficially re­

An
