THE Co0L1E CUTTERS.
Another Batch Of Joss worshippers Arrive at
the Birmingham of the West Indignation of
the White workmen- Congress Petitioned
to Prohibit Further Importations.

PrTrsBUR0 Jan. 2S, 1873.
Another batch OF Celestials arrived last night at
the Beaver Falls cutlery manufactory, and OF
course there was trouble at once between the
white aborers and the new Importation. Threats
Of violence are heard to-day on every hand, max
ing 1t imperative on the part Of the company to
confne John indoors, and under no circumstances
to allow him to appear after nightfall. There is no
use; the people of this country will not reconcile
themselves to the idea of their territory having
been selected to work out this intricate
Chinese puzzle. The hostility at first ex-
hbited to the project by the people is
not abating in the least; and, while there Is dis
position on the part Of the prominent men OF the
place to discounIenance unlawful measures, there
is a determined opposition to the scheme. The
resident people OF Beaver Falls claim that the
value OF
PROPERTY HAS BEEN DECREASED
fully one hall, and contend that the expert
ment has entailed upon them more dam
age than II the works had been removed
from the town entirely. The bitter feeling har-
bored against the members OF the concern by
the white population seems to be spreading
far and wide, and 1t is alleged to have had the
eject Of causing reduction in the amount Of the
sale of wares by this mandatory, from the fact
that many consumers are averse to encouraging
the employment OF coolie labor The Economics
who own the greatest amount OF stock in the
works, were, as society. opposed and are
opposed to the introduction OF this sort of labor
and are OutspOken in their convictions. dele

OF the society. These gentlemen, IL appears were
opposed to the movement from the start, and ex-
pressed the opinion II would prove more expensive
than If the old workmen had been retained. With
the opposition to the importation of this sort Of
labor and the difficulties experienced by the COM
pany in taking care of these new workmen, 1t will
not be surprising to hear soon Of the intention Of
the concern to
TAKE BACK IT'S OLD EMPLOYEES
and TO acknowledge that their experiment In Ce

THE LAST RESORT.
The white worklngmen have petitioned Congress
to prohibit any further importation of Chinese
under contracts made IN China. The petition con-
cudes as folOws:-
That about one hundred and sixiy.Hve Chinese labor
ers have been imported for cutlery company at Beaver
Falls thereby causing the discharge from the works Of
white American mechanics and workmen that two
hundred more Chinese direct from China said to be
engaged and their the and other works
Of this to the exclusion from the works of
people that contracts have been made through
of their for long periods Of servtde their
part at low to forbid competition by American
workmen that their habits debasng to insure the
Decentralization and degradation OF all Christian commun
ties brought in contact with them that their introduction
into the United States In the manner it is done shows
manifest attempts revive the institution of slavery and
Of Pennsylvania and the United States insomuch that
importation Of foreign cutlery was enacted for the
dose protecting the American laborer against cheap
foreign labor As therefore, to be saved from such
evils and In behalf Of our working people, ask
You to law prohbitingany further importation
Chinese aborers under contracts made in China that
you will authorize the free importation from foreign
countries of such articles manufactures may
be produced In the United States by and through
Chinese cheap labor so contracted for.
