ESPECIAL DISPATCHER TO THE REcoRD-UNIoN.l
Their Own Ok Gored. this Time.
BosToY, June 3d-The Herald (mug
wump), which loses no opportunity of de-
nouncing the anti-Chinese sentiment on
the Pacific coast finds its own OK gored by
the factory owners in Hamilton, Mass,
importing $50 French Canadians to work
in the mills and this, too, it says, III spite
of the fact that hundreds of idle natives
are about that locality, eager and anxious
for work at a fair price. 1t is this system
of human importation, continues the
Herald which has been used from time TO
time by textile manufacturers in New Eng
land, that renders absurd the statements
they frequently make about the keen in
terest they have in the welfare of the Ameri-
can workingman, and their unwillingness
to have him brought into competition with
the pauper labor of the old world. The
worst feature about this Hamilton importa-
ton is that the Canadians who have been
induced to come here do not intend TO
stay, but will retire with the money laid up
to their native villages on the ST. Lawrence.

Shipment OF California Fruit TO the East
CHICAGO, June 3d.-Referring to the con.
| flicting reports concerning a carload o.
| California cherries received here recently
by Porter Brothers Il Co, of South Water
street, a member of that firm said to-day
| that the Associated Press dispatch regard
1 ing the condition of the fruit upon arriva
was substantially correct. When the Gu
! first arrived" continued the gentleman
the fruit appeared all right, SO we imme
diately telegraphed the shippers, Cherrie!
arrived in prime condition. Upon clos
| he
found that Il portion of the lot lad spoiled
apparently owing TO heat and poor ventila
ton, and that ont OF Il whole ca
only about one-third was in
fresh condition. We have notified tn,
shippers Of the result of this second eXami
nation, probably now no misapprehensiol
exists in their minds Being questioned
as to the feasibility of shipping small fruit
from this coast in car lots, Mr.. Watson
Secretary and Treasurer OF the firm, replied
" 1t might perhaps be made profitable, bu
it is an enterprise | should not care t
embark in heavily. l have no doubt thai
cherries, for instance, might be packed
with sufficient care, and SO ventilated as t
come through safely in car lots, othe
conditions being favorable. | have al
idea that this carload shipped TO us wa
injured by hot weather and unusual dela7

train 1t is Il Well-knoWn fact anon,
shippers and receivers of California fruit
that the most northerly route is the safest
Heat is the greatest source of injury, anI
when large quantities Of small fruits ar
shipped in one car, 1t appears TO be very
difficult matter to provide proper ventila
ton in transit. Until some improved
method Of packing for long shipments goe
into effect, [ much prefer the plan of ship
ping small California fruits by express il
small quantities" In the course of con
versation Mr.. Watson referred to the heav!
fruit trade of the present season, and spok
of the growing popularity here 0
: California productions. Last year,
he remarked, barely twenty car
loads of California oranges wer
handled here Already this season upward
of 300 carloads have been received, AM
though the increase of other fruits is not 5,
large in proportion, still the entire trad
shows a marked improvement. The reduc
ton in shipping rates from 81 to 81 % pc
hundred had good deal 10 do with this, 0
course but it is only quite recently tina
California oranges became at all popular il
this market. Better orchards are lust nov
coming into bearing, which allows a sur
plus of fine grades fol- shipment to 4 dis
lance. There is another circumstance con
nected with the orange trade which is o
great advantage to California growers
This is the fact that the California fruit put
in an appearance Just at the time when i
is most needed. This is about the 1st O
February. At that time of the year Flor
ida oranges have been Overripe and nearh
unstable, and good, sound fruit from thu
coast is Just in time to enable dealers Il
avoid the necessity of importing orange,

California should not look upon each othe
rs rivals in the matter of orange produc
ton, for by working together they can con
troll the entire trade of the country
