comm NV the barharious Chinese to
the Easter States he'd 4illed him with
profound alarm. Ez labrin man
he sollunlly protested agin bringin
form pauper labor to these happy
shores to compete with u.s. With
all his sole he protested agin this
importashpn ny poyertyi-driven for
eigners to Ameriky. He hoped the
meetin wood. do its dooty in this
matter. Ee wood introdooce to the
meetin NJ. Jean Jacques Pierre La
Tourette, a gentleman NV North
Adams, Massychoosets, where this
outrage agin Amerikin labor wuz
bein perpetrated.
Mr.. La Tourette riz and addrest
the meetin in French, ez he coodent
speak English, he heyin bin in this
country only ten months. We pro-
coored Frenchman wich Good
speak English who translated him
for our benefit. Mr.. La Tourette
remarkt that the principal thing la
brin men had to contend with wuz
iiNportid pauper labor. The Chinese
wich he'd bin advented in North
Adams wuz inferior race wich Good
live on nothin and Good conse-
quently work for nothin. They he'd
none of the habits an tastes NV civ
ilizashen. They did not drink lik-
ker; in fact one Nv EN-, Ching Choy,
did not know what likker WIZ. Ex-
preshun NV disgust from the entire
assembly, One hundred Of his
people he'd bin indoost ten months
ago to come to the Yoonited States
from Lower Canady by the promise
NV ekal rites. Them wich emigrated
with him from Lower Canady hAdn't
anything in pertikeler to eat in that
country, and still less to wear; in
fact, the half NV EN- was bein sup
portid by the parish authorities.
We come to the Yoonited States, the
manufacturers payin our fare on the
railroads, expecting to find land NV
wages and plenty. Wat hez bin the
result? Why, jest ez we he'd all
jined the Crispins and established
who shood and who shood not labor
in North Adams, and likewise wat
wages shood be paid, and how they
shood be paid, but before we got
control, Nv the books Nv the concern,
we are confronted, with forrin pau
per labor brought from forrin
shore, and we are out in the cold.
Mr.. La Tourette remarked that when
he sed 'we' he spoke Nv his associ
ates' He didn't labor hisself-he
wuz friend of humanity, whose
biznis it wuz to organize laborin
men agin the encroachment NV cap
ital. ...
Dennis O'Shaughnessey, our Sex
retary, wanted to know wat wages
wuz paid them ignerent Chinese.
Mr.. La Tourette ansered about %
cents day, wich answer, ez it wuz
considered essenshel to put on
record, I wrote down, ez Mr..
O'Shaughnessy's early edukashen
had been neglected. "Good Lords s'
eiackilated Teddy Ryan. "that's only
two drinks and fifth. We want
no such labor ez that"
Father McGrath, after givin no
tice that next Sunday a beautiful
image of st. Boniface, wich had bin
presented his church, wood be dis
played for the adorashun Nv the de-
vout, demanded that the most strin-
gent laws shood be passed preventin
the immigrashen to this country Nv
heathens and idolators. He bleeved
in religions tolerashen, but the ijee
Nv jOss-house bein erectid in Moo
York filed him with alarm, and he
wood prevent it by all the power NV
the law.
Jenny O'Fallon reportid the fol-
lowin resolooshens: .......

choosits hev importid ignerant and degraded

country may be free and unrestrictid. we

Jitly Kill all the Chinese, and all others who
