LOS ANGELES. Oct 81 If there is one
question upon which there is practical
unanimitv of sentiment among the people
OF Southern California it is upon that of
Hawaiian annexation. The consensus of
opinion in opposition to 1t is almost a unit.

nected with the body for the past fourteen
years and has been for forty years an
active trades union man. In talking a bout
the feeling among the workingmen as TO
annexation Captain Colver stated that he
had been one of those who had always
opposed 1t, for the reason that he could
see no field in the islands where American
white labor could be employed. On the
other hand he diu see where an unde-
sirable population of at least $4,000 people
would be added TO the United States.
This added population would soone- or
later come iEto competition with the al
ready suffering white labor now in the
country.
The captain summarized his IDEAS by
stating that after carefully reviewing the
situation he had arrived at the conclusion
that the people of the United States had
every thing to lose by annexing Hawaii,
and nothing to gain. Asked TO give his
views more IN detail, Captain Co'ver pre-
pared the following written statement for

FRESNO, Oct. 3L-Ten Chinese were
arrested in Fresno last Sunday for being
in the United States without certificates.
One ofthe prisoners e capped before reach

be bile to show certificates when exam

The Chinese prisoners obtained their
certificates from San Francisco, and the

suspecting that the papers are fraud ulent t.

Al meeting OF the Los Angeles County

introduced By Captain f. B. Colver, the
editor OF the Labor World of this city:
WHEREAS. The treaty now in force be-
tween the Uni.ed States and the Hawaiian
Islands provides for the tree entry into
the United States OF raw sugar, to the
great detriment OF the beet sugar industry
of this country, and also brings Il directly
in competition with free white labor IN
California therefore De 1t
Resolyed By the Council of Labor of Los
Angeles tnat we most earnestly urge our
REPRESENTATIVES IN Congress to do all in
their power TO abrogate said treaty and to
oppose annexation.
At the time of the adoption of these
resolutions-and they were agreed to by a
unanimous vole-the question of anneKa-
ton was discussed and it was found that
the feeling against it was equally as strong
as wes the sentiment favorable to the
abrogation Of the trea V.
This feeling a. expressed by the Council
Of Labor against annex alton and for the
n abroeation of the treaty is but indicative
of the opiaion held by the 5000 toiers
