THEY ARE GOING.
Alarmed Chinese Refuse
to Work.
WHITE MEN IN THEIR PLACES
WOOL Sorters Take Fright and furry
Out of Their Mill in the Mid
die of the Day.

The oft-repeated slogan to the effect that
'the Chinese must go" may now be
spoken in the past tense. so far as those
employed in the woolen-mills in this city
are concerned, for "the Chinese have
gone"
The effect of the arrest and order for the
deportation of four of the heather who
were employed in McClennen's mill has
been almost instantaneous. and where
quite number of the Celestials were en-
poyed a week ago, now none but white
labor is in demand and it is said that there
will not be an idle white wOolsOrter In
the city tomorrow.
After the arrest of the four Chinese on
Monday last the balance OF the workmen
were little shy. but continued to work
all right until the order for deportation
was issued on Thursday. They were not
informed of it that day and reported as
usual on Friday morning, but some one
brought in the news during the day, ana
peculiar cry of warning was uttered ny
their foreman, and in a few seconds the
whole crowd had vanished, leaving the
unsorted wool on the tables and sacksful
more CT il on the floor behind their stools
But they had gone and nothing could
the proprietors to do was to send out and
employ all the idle wool-sOrters that they
could find, and the mill started yesterday
with white men doing the wcrk.
There was quite number OF men out
of work who had been displaced by the
hiring of girls a few months ago In one or
two OF the other mills. but 1t took all of
these to furnish the number required at
McClenneu's, and it was then found neces-
sary to take some of the employees off the
tubs and put them in the sortng-room,
while Italians were hired to do the Work
these meh had formerly done.
The Chinese since leaving the mill have
kept themselves secluded in their house at
the corner of Sixth and Berry streets. and
nothing could induce them TO leave it, so
that the EN- ployment of white men to sue
coed them is no doubt permanent thing,
and the work of the Labor COuncil and
their attorney, Mr.. Kennedy, has borne
fruit very rapidly, and results are apparent
almost mmediaLely,
Encouraged by this success another
move will be made early this week looking
to the arrest and deportation Of Chinese
employed in another large factory in an
other line of Industry. Attorney Kennedy
has been gathering information to support
the complaints which will be sworn out,
and now has sufficient in his possession to
insure the Issuing OF orders for dep0rta-
ton.
Another movement has been started
here, and committee to be known as the
Mercha nts' Advisory Committee has been
appointed to devise some means by which
funds can be obtained to carry ON the
work of arresting and deporting the Chi
nese employed in this city. The following
gentlemen have been seen and have agreed
to act as the committee: Barry Baldwin,
A. S. Hallidie, Richard Freud and James
II. Barry.
These gentlemen, together with a few
more business men and Attorney Kennedy,
will meet tomorrow TO take some action,
aud it is intended to push matters rapidly
from that time forward.
