The Osaka Mainichi, Thursday 15th February 1923 (Page 3)

Directors Withhold Wrestler's Payroll; Disputed Re-open

   Trouble between the directors of the Tokyo Wrestling Association and the wrestlers was revived on February 13, when the directors refused to pay the wrestlers a portion of profits due to them from the spring matches, this year.
    The refusal of payment is said to be a retaliatory measure against the wrestlers' notification that they would not join in a wrestling circuit this year, unless the settlement of their last dispute be satisfactorily arranged.
    The directors requested the Superintendent-General of Metropolitan Police to mediate, and it is said that the wrestlers are awaiting the mediation to take place.
