INACCURATE STATEMENTS.

1t has been pretty clearly shown
that Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald
spoke from his emotions not from the
facts, when he charged that something
like 95 to 9S per cent. Of the labor
employed in the sugar beet industry
Chinese. The people engaged in these
industries have now completed their
statistics, and claim that only from
i to 20 per cent. of money paid out
in the industry goes to Asiatic labor
and that even that is paid out reluct-
antly, because when needed most, a
fun complement of white laborers is
not be had. For instance, at Wat
sonville where for beets, labor, fuel,
etc. S1,000,000 was paid out by fac
tory, SS50,000 went to white men. Of
this sum about $150,000 was paid for
thinning, topping and loading, and of
that 10 per cent. went to Mongolian
labor The Chino Champion" declares
it to be the simple truth that in all
that section Mongolian labor is not,
and never has been employed in the
beet fields
This matter would not be worthy this
much of attention but for the fact that
the original statement came from
State official, the title of whose office.
it is assumed, carries the weight of au-
thority. and presumably implies accu-
racy of statement. If Mr.. Fitzgerald
is no more accurate in his other labor
statistics than in the collection regard
ing beet sugar growing his official
statements must be received with sus-
picion. From their officials the people
want no emotional statements, no SEN
timental and biased reports They are
entitled to receive from official sources
cold, uncolored and non-partisan facts
authentic and accurate statements. If
from State departments these cannot
be had the people have a right to know
the reason why
