The Japanese government is not ex- | jpected to approve that method of | dealing with its protest, though prob- jably it will be difficult for the Tokio 'goreign office to find technical grounds | {for objection to the method in which | {California is attempting to legislate. Officials here feel that Japan re- ‘gards the present as the best time | permanently to settle the question and that it will contemplate with im- patience a delay of at least a year and a half, even though in the interim | the proposed law was not applied to the Japanese in California. |HUERTA’S POWER IS GONE.

Leaders of the Industrial Workers of the World, on the other hand, maintain that the fight will go on unabated and that few others will yield.
