tain J. T. Smith, Of San Francisco
There's a story behind it that l don't
believe one fastener in thousand
knows, although its pretty well under
stood on the coast. Good poem in itself,
of course, but its instantaneous hit in
the West was due to the story between
the lines.
"You remember the tale, of course
how a Chinaman was being done up in
a euchre game until he got onto the
angle, so to speak, and began to hold
out cards on the pair. And then

And Nye looked at me.
And he said with sigh,
Can these things be.
We're ruined by Chinese cheap labor
And we fell on that heather Chinee
Now let me give you the story:
When the famous Six Companies of San
Francisco began importing Cinnamon.
they went 10 manufacturers and offered
to sell their labor. They'd work ten,
twelve, fifteen hours a day for about
80 cents day.
"Well, that was too good thing for
the manufacturers to overlook. They
were paying So and 81 day for white
labor, and here was chance for them
to increase their profits by decreasing
their expenses. The made arrange
mentS wirh the Six Companies and be-
gan putting Cinnamon into their fac
tories. The Cinnamon were really
farmed out like slaves, being entirely
in the power of the Six Companies.
There was no cry OF Chinese cheap
labor then except from few workmen.
The manufacturers were satisfied; they
had the best of it.
The Cinnamon were quick to learn,
and soon knew every detail OF the maa-
ufacture of cigars, boots, shoes, etc.
Then they held the winning hand, and
began to play it. They had learned the
trade. and began TO set up for them
selves. They drew out of the white
mems employ. They lived in hunks in
their factories, and worked more hours
a day than white man could and live.
They began beating their former en-
plOyerS at their own game. And then
well, then, Il looked AT Nye and Nye
looked at me, etc.

PRIVATE CONTRACTS DOOMED.
An Undiscovered Legal Kink Explained
to the Supervisors.

An Undiscovered Legal Kink Explained
to the Supervisors.
c. 81. Parker, an attorney, appeared be-
fore the Street Committee of the Board of
Supervisors yesterday with another COM
plant against it, though basing ii on an in
dividual case. He went further than any
other complaining party. however. by de-
claring that under the law the present sys-
TEN of private contracts is absolutely IL
legal. The so-caled Nrooman act, which is
the law under which all street work must
be done, expressly provides how private
contracts in street work may be done, and no
other way is legal. Property can
not have work performed under private
contract until the board has acquired juris-
dlction, first by declaration Of intention and
next by receiving bids and awarding the
contract. Then by petition of three
quarters of the frontage they may elect to
do the work by private contract
