TO The Irades and Labor Unions
and bona fde labor organizations o
tie Pacific Coast - FELLOW CITI
ZENs: After repeated efforts or
our part to secure the Legislation
necessary to restrict the further
immigration of Chinese to this
country and after the experimental
results Of three years trial Of the
so-called Restriction Act, we find
through the machination Of con
scienceless officials, pliable courts
and rulings Of Cabinet Ministers,
that we are still practically in the
position we occupied at the begin
ming.
In addition to the evils engend-
cred by the presence of cheap Chi
pese labor. we in this State ard up-
on this Coast are menaced with
the growing wrong of competition
with the products of convict labor !;
by importation, and by the evasion
of the provisions of our State Con-
stltutIon
The time has come when it be-
comes the duty of the producers of
all wealth to determine which
course is the proper one to be
adopted to finally settle these dis
turbing causes of idleness and dis
content among our people.
There is enough patriotism, de-
termination, and honesty among
the people of this Coast to settle
these matters now and forever. It
needs organization to accomplish
these results. The exigency re-
quires neither the use of violent
language, nor a resort to violent
means. Politicians of all parties,
and demogogues of every descrip-
ton. have used these subjects to
accomplish Interior ends, and have
excited hopes and invited con-
fdence, only to betray and to de-
stroy.
These questions are eminently
industrial in their application and |
effect. When the working popula
ton Of a country is assailed, every |
other interest is attacked and |
when an injury is inflicted upon
single industry all others are bound
% suffer in sympathy.

knights Of Labor, after repeated
