WHITES VERSUS CHINESE.

The excitement created by the
strikes in the East is being turned to
account by the labor organizations of
: California. They demand in the name
Of the unemployed whites who are
vainly seeking work, that Chinese be
discharged by manufacturing and rail-
road companies and white men en-
ployed in their stead. This demand
has been complied with by several
manufacturing firms, one of which
have advertised for two hundred boys
10 take the place of the discharged
Chinese in a cigar factory. The rail-
soad Company is, we understand. alss
considering the question of substitute
ing white for Chinese labor along the
soad. At present. none bat Chinese are
employ cd IN repairing the tracks on all
The roads Of the Central Pacific Com
Rsas. Chinese are also exclusively
iussd in roandhouses and in unloading
eses al the ends Of divisions. This
kact is made she pretext for much un-r
Saxosahls comment. Men who are
beating their way back to the States,
when begging fer something to eat. say
that they were induced by false repre-
sensations to invest their last dollar in
Q railroad ticket to California. Flam-
ing handbilhs, circulated by interested
parties informed them that California
was she paradise of the poor man. La
Dor was in demand at good wages. and
the moment he stepped off the cars at
Sacramento men stood ready to employ
him. They found, instead of an earth
ly paradise, country where Chinese
found employment. while the duped
immigrants. hundreds of them penni-
less. could not get work at any price.
In proof of their statements they ex-
press willingness to work, and point
to Chinese employed on the railroad.
The number of these men now claim.
fng to be in search of employment,
while begging their way back east, is
such as to warrant the railroad COM
pany in making change from, Chinese
to white labor. The white men travel
ing along the road. professedly in
search of employment, should be given
= fair trial by the company, and thus
effectually end the tramp nuisance. Ii
they refuse to work at fair wages they,
cannot afterwards play the sympathy
dodge on people who reside along the
road by false pretensions.
