Japs So Pressed Even Wrestlers Have to Work

By the United Press

    Japan has put her wrestlers to work, a Japanese broadcast revealed Saturday.
    Twelve huskies, including Grand Champion Futabayama, began unloading Manchurian soybeans from barges, according to the Japanese Domei News Agency as heard by United Press in New York.
    Domel said they unloaded 150 tons of beans in five hours, which averages out at 21/2 tons per man.
    "The dozen behemoths did twice per hour as much work as ordinary laborers," gloated Domei.
