THE CHINAMAN IN THE WOOD
PILE.

Section 8 of the proposed Chinese
law, which specifics the punishment
of coolies who violate the provisions
of the Act, has this peculiar rider:
Provided, however, that the provi-
siOns of this Act shall not apply Ia
Chinese engaged as domestic or agri-
cultural labOrers who shall perform
mechanical work for their employers.
This must have been written
after a crafty and comprehensive
wink. Under its terms a Honolulu
tailor can engage ten journeymen
as agricultural laborers and as soon
as the grass in his back yard has
been cut, can say to them: There s
nothing more to do here, boys.
You might as we'll come down to
the shop and sew on pants. They
are agreeable, and in half an hour
are hard at work in their regular
line of business for half a white
journeyman's pay.
If you want a house built, horses
shod, wagons repaired, harness
manufactured, timing done, stone
or brick laid, boats constructed,
fences painted, or sails made, why
all you have to do is to engage the
necessary Chinese domestic Oh
agricultural laborers," who are not
debarred from doing mechanical,
work.
