BOYCOTT ON JAPANESE.
Quiet Attempt to Run Out the Cheap Restaurants.

A boycott on the Japanese restaurants was ordered at noon today by the Cooks' and Waiters' Union. The union gave as their reasons for so doing that the Japs would not employ white labor, and that the whites could not compete with them, because they needed more money to live and had to demand more in the matter of wages.

In reply to the order for a boycott, Charley Sesake, proprietor of the Queen City chop house, on Occidental Avenue, said:

"What grounds have they to boycott us? We can get white labor as cheap and even cheaper than we can hire Japs. As it is, we pay our Japanese waiters $30 a month and lodging, and that is more, to my personal knowledge, than lots of white chop house men pay their hands.

"They can't run me out; that is a poor idea they have. I have as much right here as any one as long as I pay my bills. If people can't get what they want here, why, I can' help it. I do the best I can. I don't see why the union has it in for us anyway. The Japanese restaurants have subscribed over $500 for their labor temple, and I gave $100 myself. Let them start their boycott, and they will find Seattle right here when it is over."
