There have been two increases in Japanese wages during the past two or three years. Japanese sailors. learning of the high wages paid in the Pacific to American seamen. have demanded increases and are receiving increases. so that the expenses resulting from those higher wages are constantly being augmented. May I say that we have not suffered very much in the matter of violation of the immigration laws from mala fide Japanese seamen coming to the United States. The Japanese seem to be attached to their ships. and very few. as I am told. Japanese seamen have deserted in our ports.
