Tho appeals first reached Commis

were referred by him to the Secio
tary with the lecoinlnenilatlon that
they bo dismissed on the ground that
no other course was permissible un

Into effect the agreement relative to
the exclusion of .lupanese laborers.
The matter was presented on behalf
of the would-be Immigrants to tlio
Japanese Minister, und he ndvlKcd

the agreement between the two conn-;

they will try to 11ml admission Into
