1t was decided to add twenty more names

the Chinese question in this city will soon
be solved. The business men seem to b
sincere in their expressions Of sympathy
with the labor unions in this movement
and are hand and hand with them in the
fight. Considerable spice is given to the
move by the fact that the Minis
tsrs' association has taken up tho
fight and are championing tho cause Of
the Chinese on the ground of humanity and
socalled treaty rights. The result is lot
of bitter sermons against the labor unions
and great number of open letters and
