Newspaper Work Tcrsonal
"Newspaper work in Jupau is of n

it would bo an unforgivable piece of
disloyalty for one newspaptr man to
share a bit of exclusive news with a
representative of u rival naner. no niat

or not. Sometimes, to prove wc ure
kind, we divulge unimportuut items of
news to each other but only unim
portant ones.
"Not only do our reporters strive to
get exclusive stories for their own
papers, but our editors lambaste euch
other at every opportunity. The edi
torial page is extremely hot.
"Our paper is not rudical, but we
are in favor of Ia.bor unions. As jou
know, labor unions are not permitted
by tho government of Jupun, and there
is u constant struggle with the Rovcm
ment upon this problem. However, wo
are fair with our government, and when
our government does things that are
fine, the Mainichi is the first to com
mend it."
Mr. Fookay will remain in this coun

eastern section of the United Stales,
making Washington his headquarters,
to study labor conditions iu America
