Thinks Employers Fail to Study Workers’ View of Problems. Eizo Sakai, Japan's wealthy “knight of the people,” noted for {acts in championing the | working classes of Nippon, stopped in Washington long encugh yesterday to pay his respects to President Cool- idge and express a few views regard- ing the American laboring man. His visit to the White House was| of brief duration. Through the medium of an interpreter, Mr. Sakal extended the greetings of his legion of followers to the President and received, in turn, the latter's felicitations. Incidentally, the oriental visitor let it be known that he will call the mem- bers of his great fraternal organiza- tion, the Nippon Seigidan, together for a great public demonstration when the new American Ambassador to Japan, yet to be appointed, is sent to Tokio. “Workers Temperamental.” In an interview noon Mr. Sakal that the Amer workingmen of |several trades ha Rone on strike for higher wages. Situations such as these, he said, require great tact on {the part of emplovers of labor he indicated his belief that perk the employers of America do not exer- [cise the proper sort of sympathy with the problems of labor. Mr. S: he wondeged why higher ahould be sought when America already is paving more than other countries. but oStop this/ Dizzy spells can be stopped in most Clean out your intestines dically with Pluto Water.

Perhaps American employers should mingle more with their men and learn to understand their temperaments, in order to obviate strikes and similar misunderstand- ings." Is “Father” to 100,000 Men. Mr. Sakal is en route to Japan from Genoa, where he attended the inter- national raiflroad conference. He is president of the Bantan Railway Co. and a director of the Tokio Gulf Land Co., directing several thousand of ‘workers. As “Kyokaku,” or knight of the people, he wields uncanny power over 100,000 workers, who look up to him as their “father” and guide. The sacred title of Kyokaku was conferred on Mr. Sakal by his foster father, Kokayashi-Sahel, who died nine vears ago. At the latter's wish Mr. Sakai married Sahel's daughter, took charge of all his properties and assumed authority and leadership over all his “kobuns,” or followers. In- dicative of the trust given him by the workingmen of Japan are his numerous successful settlements of labor controversies, including the, great stone workers' strike of 1903 and’ the strike of 1,500,000 tramway workers last year in Osaka, his home.

Since the indictments were returned the director general of raflroads has brought suits against them to recover alleged underpayments on account’ of the alleged false billing, and the fact that these suits are pending influenced the Department of Justice to ac- quiesce in suggestions that its liti- gation be ended.
