Aliens Sent Home In N.P. Dispute

White employees at the Northern Pacific Railway staged a sitdown strike in Seattle to protest the appearance of a dozen Japanese alien workers, after which the Japanese were sent home and the white workers returned to work. A similar situation occurred in Auburn, WA where white workers said there would be a strike unless three Japanese workers were dismissed.
