A petition signed by Jack Fong
and eighteen other Cinnamon, rep
resenting the propr. etors OF all the
Chinese wash houses in the city, was
Submitted, representing that they
had been misrepresented in certain
| petition purporting to have been
signed by one Jim Lung in behalf
the Chinese of the city, which
asked that a location be designated
for the prosecution of their bust
| ness as laundrymen and favored
their removal from the buildings in
| which they are at present located.
Petitioners were not aware of the
| motive of those who originated the
petition of Jim Lung nor Of the
inducements, if any, offered to OBJ
tain his signature, but alleged that
they were positive that none of
them were consulted in the matter
or knew anything of said petition
until after its publication in the
newspapers; and that so far from
being in sympathy with the move
ment, they most emphatically repu.
dated its sentiments as we'll as the
right of Jim Lung or any other I'M
authorized person to speak for them,
and asserted that they were
Numerically opposed to the
idea of moving and protested
against its enforcement. They fur
Their set up that they were hard
| working men and poor, and in no
way able to move from place to
place at the whim or pleasure of
any one who might wish them i'll;
that for the most part they held un-
ex pired leases on houses now Occu-
pied, ranging from one to five years,
which could not be abandoned with
out serious financial loss, besides
rendering them liable to damages
from landlords; that their wash
houses was as cleanly as possible
with facilities at their command.
and the petitioners promised and
agreed that whatever restrictions or
regulations might be enacted for the
disposition of the soap suds or wash
water used by them, would be studi-
ously complied with. They there
fore asked that no further action
towards removal he taken, but that
they be permitted to stay in their
present buildings, or such others as
they might choose for the transac-
ton of business. The petitioners
concluded by observing that if Jim
Lung and his abettors desired to be
consigned to the solitude of the
Jordon river or any other swampy
and lonely locality, none of them,
so far as they were aware, would
interpose any serious objection.
