The Situation In the Reading System
Growing Serious.
NEW YORK, April 2l.-The labor stu
alton on the four great railroads. allied
under the Reading deal, resembles a
smoldering volcano, which may break
forth at any time. The gravity of the
situation is likely to become apparent
very soon. says the Herald. When the
deal was consummated which put into
the hands of the Reading Road by lease
the Lehigh Valley and the Central Rail-
road of New Jersey, and brought into the
combine by the control of stock the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western. it was
predicted there would be a great curtail-
ment in the pay rolls on the railroads and
in the mines, but it was denied by the
railroad folks that there would be any ex-
tensive reduction. Enough, however,
has been done in that direction to indicate
what the policy of the combination will
be, and to fill the labor organizations with
alarm. Indeed. it is charged steps are
already under way to weed out the labor
organizations. When this is generally
attempted it will speedily bring about the
struggle. Few union men are employed
by the Reading. and its management is
notoriously opposed to labor unions.

Western Coast Senators Hot Ola
the Chinese Question.

L
WASHINGTON. April 1S.-The Pacific
coast senators are making ready for a
bitter struggle when the Chinese re-
strietion bill comes before the senate
tomorrow. They will endeayor to have
the senate adopt the bill as it came
from the house, instead of the senate
committees substitute, but to do this
they must overcome the scruples OF a
large number of senators, many of them
Democrats, who are at present inclined
to the belief that the house bill is un-
constitutional and repugnant 70 the
Fundamental principles OF the republic.
There are also some senators who be-
lieye tl9t the business interests OF this
country would he very InjuriousIy af.
fected by the enactment of the house
bill, holding that the execution of the
law would be followed by the exclusion
from China of all Americans, mainly
representatives of American importing
firms. The advocates OF the house bill,
however. contend that 1t is the only
measure now before congress that prom
ises a real solution of the Chinese ques-
ton, and that it must be adopted by the
Republican senate under penalty of
heavy loss on the Pacific coast next No
vember.
Senator Chandler today introduced
number of amendments TO the house
bill. This action is significant as an
indication of the extent of the belief
that the house bill will prove to be the
basis of action of the senate rather than
the committees substitute. In sub
stance the amendments provide that
the coming of Chinese persons into the
United States shall be suspended for
period of fifteen years, in place of the
absolute prohibition of the house bill.
They reduce from five TO two years the
Imprisonment prescribed as a punish
nent for Chinese found to be unlaw-
fully in the United States, and finally
tbev strike out that part of the last sec
ton of the bill that abrogateS all treaties
in conflict with it.
