TIE CHINESE LABOR QUESTION
AGAIN

it is simply right that their views there
upon should be treated respectfully
and with candor. Any movements
upon the part of those whose labor is
their capital, to sustain and advance
the dignity of their calling and to in
sure full, practical assertion of the
golden maxim that the laborer is
worthy of his hire " has right to the
appreciation aud support of all men
who are strenuous for the prevalence of
Justice and social progress. Trades
Unions and Labor Leagues have done
much toward the elevation of their
members and have lent highly bene-
fetal influence toward the sustain
men, OF inalienable rights and privi-
iiges.
So far, therefore, as associations of
the character indicated have had the
eject to give an increased security to
the rights Of those who have attached
themselves thereto, they have our
heartiest sympathy but the moment
that they are perverted to the purpose
CT deuying to, or restraining from,
-aeir rights any individuals or commu-
mites outside CT those associations
tia: moment they become ameuable to
the ,!enuuciat!on Of ali such well dis
posed persons as have. up the time of
such perversiou, upheld and applauded
their efforts.
We are led to refer to this subjec:

occurred a day or two ago, between
some gentlemen who are connected
w:th the wood ehopping interest, and
VITO are opposed TO the introduction of
Chinese lxbor ilto the WOOD districts,
and the writer of this article. AS
clearly as we can recollect them, the
positions assumed by these men are

Themselves to associate together by
formal agreement, for the purpose of
protecting their rights and securing to
themselves fair remuneration for their |

These nla;a Pre- positions were backed
u2 With the usual arguments employed
!. such cases and marred by the e1-
-ressions of such untenable averments
and begging Of the question as can
only be brought to bear in support of a
cause which is permitted to embrace
30 fa,lacious aud indefensible position
- the Third one enumerated. The
purposes and ideas governing the two
irst propositions are entirely legiti-
mate and sensible the latter one, so
ar as it EN- braces threat to use force

Use of his right to work, is unworthy
