! in the Senate, on the I'd. Mr. Farley, replying
| to points made in the speech of Mr.. Hoar,
quoted from Senator Morton's minority re-
| port in 1915 ON the Chinese in California the
conclusion of its author that this class could
only be protected from prosecution and out

THE bin making Denver a port OF deliv.
cry passed the senate o. the Sd. The discus
sion of the Chinese bill was resumed, and Mr..
| Farley continued and concluded hi remarks.
| lie spoke of the vital interest OF the question
to the people of the Pacific slope. lie claimed
that the general Government owed this legis-
lation to the people under the conditions
guaranteed by Ia Republican form of gov
ernment in every state. as the Pacific
| States under the decision declaring the
que ordinance in san Francisco uncoustitu-
! tional, had not the power to project their la
| boring commu mites in earning p livelihood.
| He contenied that the Introduction OF Chinese
into the South would bring about war OF
races between the Monrolans aud Africans
lie added that the disastrous competition TO
which white labor subjected by Chi
nese immigration in California would not be
| tolerated in any other state, and that as. 10
certain extent, that State had been
peopled by men from Massachusetts and
other New England States, the Sena-
tors from that section should be will
ing to aid in amelorating that condition of
affairs. He believed it to be better to have a
wall of lire between the United States and
china than to permit immigration to contin-
lue. A motion for executive session prev allied
and the bill went over until the 9Th. In
the House, Mr.. Gibson introduced bin MAX
