The record-union., 1891-03-07

A. B. 212, repeating Section 337 of the
Penal Code.
On motion of Mr.. Berry the bill was
made the special order for $3.50 P. NJ. on
Tuesday.
A. b., $50, requiring manufacturers to
stamp upon their products and manu-
factures the class of labor employed
thereon.
Mr.. Berry opposed the bill. He said
it was intended to strike at a class of per-
sons who We're at times forced to employ
certain kinds oflabor (Chinese). The fruit
growers, Gamers and vineyardists We're
compelled to employ Chinese labor at
certain months of the year, and yet if
obliged to stamp their products as the re-
suit of Chinese labor, the same would be
injuriouSly affected in the market, owing
to the prejudice among some people
against the Chinese. He could see no
reason why the producers should be thus
imposed upon.
Mr.. w. II. Williams said the very OBJ
lection raised against the bill by Mr..
Berry was the best argument in its favor.
Nearly all the gentlemen on the floor had
no doubt, during the campaign, declared
themselves against Chinese labor, and he
(Williams) now desired them to go on
record
Mr. Ostrom was opposed to the bill.
He said he had never employed Chinese
labor-except in his kitchen. Laughter. !
Chinese labor was necessity in the agri-
cultural and horticultural districts, as
well as in the factories. Without Chinese
labor the fruit-grower and hop-grower
would lose their crops. The Chinese are
here. and people were compelled to util-
lied their labor. If a stroke of the pen
could remove them from the State, it
wouldn't be wise to make it, as the peo-
pie require their labor.
