way was to be finished within the specified

labor. Whenever any practical difficulty
arose, it would be within the power Of the
Legislature to take some such action as had
been taken in tie United States, but so far
the Government saw no necessity tor such
action, ss both white and Chinese laborers
could get all the work they wanted on the
