White Men See Quality in Japanese Dining Halls
The Executive Board of the Japanese and Corean Exclusion League met Saturday night in San Francisco to protest access and appeal of white run Japanese restaurants over Mongolian eateries. Secretary Yoon was tasked to inform city labor councils about patronage by union members and to urge penalties for patronizing Japanese or Chinese establishments. The group offered to photograph offenders and share images with central councils and affiliated unions to deter union men from Asian patronage and counter slander. They also warned berries sold locally are grown by Japanese and Chinese workers and emphasized health risks from unclean produce. Plans for a tour of California towns were discussed.
