A NEW DEAL NEEDED.
A Few Practical Suggestions on
the Anti Chinese Fight.

Anti-Chincse League in this cit,
to make less noise and do NOR,
work. The seml-monthly meetings
Of the League result in very little
beyond the speechmaking of few
Of its members. and the usuaI
wrangling over the wording of res,
olutions.
| During the past few months con-
siderable work has been done to-
ward Kidding the city of the Chi
nese, and great deal of work
which ought to have been done has
been allowed to go at loose ends.
The League has placed its affairs
in the hands of an Executive Com
mittee. 1t refuses to adopt any of
the suggestions of the committee,
and also refuses to relieve the
committee of its arduous duties and
place other members in its place.
The members of the committee
have neglected their business, gone
about the State in the cause at
their own expense, suffered finan-
cial losses and been subjected to
the concentrated fire of the opposi-
ton, while the majority Of the
League have laid back in the shade
and growled.
The committee reached its con-
illusions regarding the Employment
of domestics after several months
of experience.
The committee also acting as
Labor Bureau, promised large num-
bers of people white help if they
would sign the covenant. After
using every endeavor to secure this
help the committee finds itself un
able to redeem its promises
The committee have written to
San Francisco, New York, Salt |
Lake and a number Of other places
for white kitchen help and received |
the same answer from all the en-
ployment agencies Of these places
and also from private persons, No
white help to be had.
This placed the committee il a
peculiar position and 1t asked the
League to extricate it from the d.
lemma but the League refused
The members of the League who
are the loudest in their talk about
ease with which white help can be
secured. have not discharged any
Cinnamon nor have they employed
my white men.
The editor of the APPEAL,
member Of the committee dlscharg-
ID a Chinese cook three years ago
md gave the place to white wo-
nan. without any League. He now
ives steady employment to four
White people and occasional en-
,loyment to six. We would ask
With all courtesy due to men in Of
clal positions, how many white
len does Major Garrard employ.
nd how many white men does s
'udge Healey employ and how many 4
'hinamen have they discharged
lnce this movement begun? ,
Mr.. Leet, man of honest good :,
ense, who is very much respected,
tated in the League that people
ad had time to so around the u
orld for white help. He was Wig u
rously applauded but no one seem
/ to stop and consider how mach q,
round the world trip would cost. Ia
Ion. Pat Reddy, one of the ablest
aders of the anti-Chinese move
ent in California, said in this city 81
ut few days ago, that it was a "
istake to ask people to discharge "
leir Chinese help from kitchens
ntil the white help was at hand to Fl.
j the vacancy. In California, he Ca
i'd, where ever the movement te
I'D been inaugurated with tie
hite help available it had succeed hi
|, and where ever the white help -,
as not at hand, it dragged. q
You can persuade people to do 81
rtain things. but you cannot
rec them to do them. The power .
Omnipotence could not compel -
ybody to put white help at work -
the white help could not be -
