Japs Only Need Apply! Gray-haired White Wife Tells Star Pitiful Story of How the Little Brown Men Are Keeping Bread From Mouths of Starving Ameri can Families in Seattle By Hal 'Armstrong She vu stately, reserved, and a little gray. There was an air of queenliness, yet of great capability, about her. She smiled warmly at the antics of the office boy. A fine woman, one would take her to be, at the fullness of life, a typical great American mother. She wanted to have a word; to lay her case on the table. COMES TO HOME OF BIG STAR FAMILY WITH HER TROUBLES She was a member of the big Star family, which has 10,000 more fathers rfnd mothers and aunts and uncles and nieces and nephews and other relatives than any other newspaper family in Seattle. And, as such, she came to the home of that blf family to say what she had to say. A vast number of relatives in that big family are people who employ other people to do some of their work. It waa to these she wished to talk. "I should like to know what we are to do," the said. "We came here from the East, from up In Maine. We came here to live. My husband was a meat cut ter, but he took a position with the Electric company. He was a gripman first. He got advancement and when the company sold out to the city he was a starter. THREE WEEKS' WORK ONLY SINCE LAST NOVEMBER "He worked in the steel mill* at Youngs town for five years. Last November, the mills closed Since that time he has had three weeks' work, odd jobs, spasmodic employment at tne mills when they re opened for a day or two at a time, and that sort of thing. "He is a good workman. He tried hard to find a steady job. But he found none. "I was in business once myself—brokerage. But I am hardly fitted for office work now, it has been so long since then. I went out and hunted for a job. "I went to a big department store. I received a polite. 'No, we have no opening.' "There are Japanese employed in that store. I asked if I mightn't be allowed to replace one of them. I am an American citizen. Curt refusal was my answer. "I went to two big restaurant companies. There was nothing for me there. There, too, 1 saw Japanese employes. "I went to a railroad office. A woman acquaintance had told me that women were employed to clean Pull man cars. I asked for that kind of a position. It was good pay, I understood. The gentleman told me, with a smile, that they were employing men for those jobs since the war. '"What nationality?' I asked. 'Japanese,' he said. "I went to the homes of our wealthy people, seeking housework. No; they didn't want me. In most of those homes I found Japanese servants. In one, the lady of the house has a Japanese man servant who helps her dress herself. If such a thing is necessary, I thought, why did she not employ a white man. It would be no less absurd. JAPANESE WORK MORE CHEAPLY; AH, BUT DO THEY? "Nowhere was I able to find a place. Japanese, of course, work cheaply. But, in my travels searching for a job, I found this instance: "There was a woman out on 30th ave. who had wanted her house cleaned quickly for a party. She called in a Japanese man, thinking he would do it more rapidly than an American woman. He finished in two hours. Next day, she had to get an American woman to come and go over his work and clean the rooms he hadn't even touched. "I found some other things, too, unpleasant, but true, because Japanese are given preference over Ameri can citizens. "I found at an employment office a woman in the waiting line. She reached the window and asked for —anything. The girl at the window said, 'Why, you're dressed too nice. Your clothes are ajrainst you. You couldn't get a job.' That woman didn't even have a stove in her house. Her husband had lost his job, and the furniture company had come and cleaned their home of furniture. FAMILY IN GEORGETOWN LIVES ON OATMEAL THREE MONTHS "In Georgetown there is a family that lived on oat meal for three months. They had nothing else to eat until the woman got sick and the neighbors came to tfooiv* n^mvitiincp "In another family, in West Seattle, are three little girls. One of the little girls was playing in the yard.
