Chinese Laundry Union Makes His
Life n Burden

Chinese Laundry Union Makes His
Life . Burden.
! PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 5.-Yee Quill, the
| Intelligent Celestial who keeps laundry
| at No. 1120 Somerset Street, is still be-
sieged with trouble. 1t is not q domestic
broil. for 1t is doubtful il there lives today
in the whole city more happy family
than Yee, his American wife and their
three children. The head of the family
speaks almost perfect English, and has
adapted himself to many American Gus
toms. having lived in this country about
| eighteen years.
His troubles, he says. have all come be-
| cause he does not belong to the local
Chinese Laundry Union. Yee was one of the
/ prime movers in the great anti-gambling
| crusade. which was carried on SO success
fully In the Chinese section a few years
| ago. and for this also he claims that he is
| marked man. He, however, Is not lack
! ing in friends among his own countrymen,
and the latter keep him constantly in
| formed OF what is going on down on Race
Street.
About three weeks ago he was told that
the Laundry Union held an all-night meet
Ing discussing his case, and that one thous-
and dollars reward had been offered to
anyone who would undertake to put Yee
out Of business" 1t was not stated just
| now this was going to be done, but up to
date. although several attempts have been
made. their efforts have been unsuccess-
full.
Saturday afternoon. Yee was again Wis
tied by several friends, who were anxious
for his safety. He was informed that an
other all-night meeting had been held. and
the union had decided to drive him out OF
business. no matter what the result might
be.
reporter visited the Chinaman today
at his place OF business. on West Somerset
Street. and from the look of determination
on the round face Of the Celestial t was
plainly evident that he was going to fight
the battle out to the bitter end. He stated
that he was kept informed by his friends of
what was going on. and the recent threats
made against him, and while he doesn't
fear them. it IS his intention to keep away
from all places where hidden danger might
lurk. He Justly contended that while in
this country he was living under American
laws, and had a perfect right to do bus
iness wherever the surrounding circum-
stances would permit without being COM
PEELED to observe the rules OF any secret
society Of his own countrymen.
