And-Chinese Executive Committee Meet
ing-Interesting Facts.

The Executive Committee of the Citi-
zens' Anti-Chinese Association of Sacra-
mento met last evening at the office of
their Secretary, DIR. H. Latham.
II. G. May stated that all the vegetable
markets and wholesale produce dealers in
this city, with one exception. were willing
to mutually pledge themselves not to buy
OF, nor sell to, Chinese for the next six
months. The one exception was a whole
sale house, whose local trade was small
but their outside trade was very large. He
was afraid that, if this firm stood out. the
organization proposed by the other dealers
could not be effected. He said at this time
there were over 200 Chinese vegetable ven
ders IN this city, peddling from door to
door with hand-baskets, hand-carts and
wagons During the summer time $50
Cinnamon go to the markets every morn
ing. There are only six white men
engaged III raising vegetables here.
and the cultivation of beans, peas
and other small vegetables has been done
exclusively by the Chinese The proposed
action would cause the Italians to plant
this class of small vegetables, and in face
of this boycott, the Cinnamon now engaged
IN 1t would Immediately go out of the bust
ness. As this was seed planting time, he
thought it very important that something
should be done at once.
Several members of the committee, who
were warmed up to the subject stated that
If the firm spoken of continued to hold out
1t would compel the committee to
ADVERTISE IT TO THE WORLD.
Aud carry their boycott into every market
to which, their goods were shipped. The
knights of Labor in Denver, the Anti
Chinese Committee at Truckee. and other
points, should be Immediately informed of
the obstinacy Of this firm, and their pro-
duce should be allowed to rot in the mar
kets or returned to them as unstable.
After considerable talk, Mr.. MAY was
instructed to wait upon the firm again,
ask their cooperation, and report their an.
swer at the next meeting. The committee
proposes to carry the war into Africa" if
1t is necessary TO accomplish the desired
end. As one member put it, " No one firm
shall dictate to this whole people. A -four
mill tried it, but weakened when the flour
sent out was returned to the mill and
orders that came by mail were Cancelled by
telegraph.
Two Cinnamon, who owned large vegeta-
bic ranches, seeing how easily a boycott
could ruin their business, refused to put in
crop, have sold their ranches and left the
State
Mr.. Falconer said: We are here to meet

in the way of our accomplishing the de-
sired object Business men who refuse to
cooperate with and assist US will get the
lll-wlll of every anti-Chinese man,
not alone of this State, but of the
coast also. We are not as vet thor
oughly organized. Until our organization
is completed we cannot expect to accom-
plish much Once thoroughly organized
nothing can prevent us from accomplish
S,,r, l..
Will suffer in the end. We must be up
and doing. We have the sympathy of
every man, woman and child on the coast
enlisted in this movement, and opce thor
oughly organized, there will be such a
united sentiment and action that the much
vexed question will be settled without an
effort. No threats, no violence, no break
ing of laws, but the Chinaman now EN-
ployed
WILL BECOME THE UNEMPLOYED TRAMP,
And he will wend his way across the
plains, his bamboo stick across his Shout
der, to seek employment among the people
who are now said 10 be his friends. They
would make good domestics. he thought
in the houses of Eastern Congressman, who
look upon Californians generally as a bar
barous race and the a little brown men "
as much-abused people. He was in favor
of sending a copy of the committees adj
dress, constitution and bylaws to every
paper on the coast with request that the
same be published. A long pull, strong
pull and pull all together in Sacramento
would unity the sentiment throughout the
coast, and much good must necessarily fol-
low.
