Japan's untouchables live in 6,000 more or less rigidly segregated communities. Commercial firms generally refuse to hire them, and when an eta seeks to "pass over" by hiding his origins, discovery can mean divorce, suicide, and occasionally even murder. In Saitama prefecture one day recently, an eta suicide left a note saying: "Even in death I cannot forget I am an eta. I hope I will be reborn in a better place.'' In Tokyo last year, an appeal for nondiscrimination brought offers from a number of small business firms to hire etas...

He got caught a couple of times: in 1946 he was indicted, eventually assessed costs of $500 for eliciting "fees" from independent grocerymen, who, rather than hire union drivers, were hauling their own provisions; in 1942 he was fined $1,000 for his part in a conspiracy to restrain trade among Detroit's wholesale paper companies...
