An East Oakland Woman HOrsewnips
q Persistent Traducer.

Yesterday 80 Cinnamon worked without
disturbance in the cherry-packing estab-
lishment of Cook & Lang at San Leandro.
This was the first work done there since the
riot of Friday night.
Mr. Sutton, the foreman in charge Of the
Celestials, stated that their employment
has nothing to do with barring out white
girls. He intends to take on Is or 20 girls
to-day, but he will not discharge the China
men. AS work increases, Mr.. Sutton said,
the force will be increased by employing
girls, if a sufficient number can. be OBJ
tanned.
SUTTON EXPLAINS.
He explained that number of Cinnamon
have been employed all the time, but that
last week he received notice from some of
the girls, nearly all of whom are PoTtu-
guese, that they would not work for the
three days following Friday as that was the
season of celebrating the Holy Ghost ser
vices in the Portuguese churches. Accord
ingly, on Thursday 20 Cinnamon were put
to work, followed by 10 more on FRIDAY.
Then two or three girls were discharged
because they were not good packers. mat
brought on the riot Friday night.
MIR. Sutton also stated that the delegation
that came to see him was headed by num-
whom seized him and said: We'll give
you - minutes to discharge these China
menu
He asked for time to finish loading a car
and TIE answer was the hurting OF num-
Der of boxes at the MODgols. That was the
first inking they had Of what was up and
they ali flew to the narrow doorway to get
out. Clubs, hammers and rocks were thrown
at them and one was set upon and nearly
beaten TO death.
BEATING HHI WITH CLUBS.
He screamed in terror, but his assallants
did not leave him until he was too weak to
cry out. He is now lying in a Chinese
washhouse and his chance Of recovery Is
critical
The reason the Cinnamon we're obtained,
Sutton says, WAS because the work Of pack
ing and shipping the cherries could not be
delayed day without loss. There was no
intention TO discriminate against the girls.
The Cinnamon are hired at 81 % day and
they average % boxes each, which costs The
firm about cents per box, whereas the girls
we're paid only by the box at cents each.
The names Of the rioters arrested and
charged with felony and misdemeanor are;
Jim Cahil, Staff Warner, Gus DOnnlvun,
Tom. VIII and Hugh Morgan, Mark Hal
version, Irwin ICftiemler, Jim Fnnlgan,
