Telegram from Henry Percival Dodge to Elihu Root
Henry Percival Dodge informs Secretary of State Root of two occurrences when Chinese railroad workers employed by the Japanese government were discharged from employment and wished to leave Japan. Some were ordered to leave, while others’ requests to leave were denied. It is believed that Ordinance 352 of 1899 gave Japan the authority to act in this way. Dodge will send more details when they become available.
