PROTECTION AGAINST THE SANTA CLARA

PROTECTION AGAINST THE SANTA CLARA
"OwLs. There is in Santa Clara county,
California. or2arization of outlaws styled
the " Owls, nose avowed object is to pre-
vent the employ Iaent Of Chinese laborers
upon the farms and in the factories of that
section. In furtherance OF their develish
designs they have assaulted the poor China
men in the most fend.sh manner and have
gone SO far as to set on fire the premises and
property of persons employing that class of
workmen. The San Jose Mercury Of the
iith instant, abiding to ,hese oltrages, says:
Desperadoes make he employment of
Cinnamon the miserable D-etext fur despoil-
Jag us of cur property. Let us use the
Cinnamon for the protection of that property.
IN the FIRST place. let no one give employ
!nent to any man who sympathizes in the
east with this incendiary movement Chi
neselaber is to be had in abundance for all
needed purposes. Let that labor be used as
freely. as ever. And further, put Cinnamon
On guard at night, to protect exposed prop
e-ty, armed and instructed to shoot down
any man seen applying the torch. In this
sIty, one good night watch Of this kind
could protect several buildings adiacent to
each other, and the cost to the sleeping III
mates would be trivial. In the country, |
there can be no danger to the harvestS |
from fire until the grain is fully ripened. |
Then place mounted patrol of Cinnamon |
IN guard. Hurry up the harvest with all |
possible dispatch. The grain once in stack. |
the guard could be greatly reduced In !
general movement of this kind, it might be
necessary to consult with the heads of some |
Of the chief Chinese houses OF San Fran |
cisco. who would doubtless fall in with the |
suggestion. and furnish picked men at a |
moderate cost. In this vicinity guards have |
slready been placed over the property of |
some who favor the employment and ednc,-
.loa of Cinnamon. Let the movement be- !
come general, until the incendiarv midnight |
providers that infest this community shall tt.
hunted fIUa..their holes.
