THE CHINESE COMPANIES
Continuance of the Trouble Over Reduced
Laundry Rates.
Counsel for the Arrested Men Claim
There In . Conspiracy Among
Their Rival COuntrymen.

Sue Cow, another member or employee
of the Sam Lee Company. was arrested
last night on complaint of one of the Hop
Chung Lung Company's Cinnamon on
charges of threats AMI conspiracy. Charlie
Bing and All Sing, VINO were in court yes
terday on similar charges, were released
on $500 bail this morning. Lum Kee Sing
and Moy Foon. against whom warrants
nave been issued. are still at large. The
arrest of Sue Cow, 1t is claimed, is only an
other move In furtherance Of the alleged
scheme to get the Sam Lee Company out
of business in order that there will be no
cut in the laundry rates, and SO the old
prices will be restored. A Chinaman said
to be interested In those who are waging
the war against the Sam Lee Company
and said that the prosecutions would be
called off If the Sam Lee Company would
restore the old rate of 10 cents for washing
shirts.
The proposition was not accepted be-
cause the counsel thinks 1t would do his
clients no good.
Conspiracy Charged In Court.
Lawyer Sterling, who Is associated with
Lawyer Aughinbaugh in the Chinese mat
; ter, represented Sue Cow In court today.
He told Judge Miller that the charges be-
ing brought against his clients were ground
less and that they were being brought only
for the purpose of getting them to leave
the city.
Counsel thought it was great hardship
to lock up this poor Chinese workman, as
he could not give bail. There will be no
witnesses for the defense, said counsel, for
the reason that all the other Cinnamon.
more than 300 are against them and want
to get them to leave the city.
Mr. MulIOwny VIII Investigate.
Mr.. Mullowny said he would investigate
the cases Monday and would be ready to
hear them Tuesday.
The arrest Of Sue Cow last night took
the last celestial from the Sam Lee es-
Enlistment on ~ street, and many persons
who had their wash there were sadly dis
appointed today, as Mrs. All Sing was I'M
able to get a Chinaman to do a days work.
Her husband was released about noon,
however, and he returned home and went
to work after having spent the night in
jail.
It was thought that the members of the
Sam Lee Company would swear out war
rants for those in the opposing company,
but All Sing says he is too poor to figure
in the courts.
