testimony Taken Before the LegisIa

the Legislative committee by mechanics
on the question of Chinese competition.
The following testimony from Mr.. Her
rick, skilled master workman of lone
residence, is representative of the ex-

class of artisans:
Mr.. w. +. Hcrrick-I have been %
years IN this country; am wood and
ivory turner by trade l have a family
OF eight children, all in this country
the Chinese hurt me very much my
landlord, in fact, is a Chinaman; am
forced to get my steam power from him :;
my landlord employs a Chinese turner,
whose pay is one dollar a day; he is a
pretty lair tn ner at that; for the first
time in % years l have had to sit down
and wait for work; this year | have lost
considerable time that way; | offered to
close up my shop and work for Mr.
Lucas Tor IS 90 per day; even he could
not do it. | have been forced to RELY on
the generosity of friends to keep af1oat
last quarter, and kept hoping against
hope that things would get better; my
name was the first on the roll of mem
bership of the Anti-Asiatic Union; l
have signed the petition; l have moth
ing whatever to say against the China
men; in all my dealings with them l
have found them straightforward my
landlord is a gentleman, but it is simply
this: We, as white men, cannot com
pete with them in trade; dull times do
not account for this inactivity among
white and native carpenters; l notice
that for the past two years my Chinese
landlord has not laid up for want of
work more than a week or two the
whole time; he employs from two to
seven men.
