A STORY ABOUT ADDICKS.
From The Boston Transcript.

From The Boston Transcript.
The spectacle OF Mr. Addickss Senatorial throes
in Delaware reminds me Of an episode when he was
engaged IN the gas business in Boston. Mr.. Ad-
dicks "a some people Will remember. was occupied
here IN an attempt which involved good deal OF
lcgislil ion Of kind or another. During the
progress Of his attempt he invited the Board OF
Aldermen Of the city OF Boston one day to go down
the harbor his boat Now Then. and the invita-
ton WAS accepted When they were started out
Mr AddickS produced a lot Of yachting caps. which.
As th, wind blew fercely on the little deck of the
Now Then. were regarded proper 10 replace the
more formal Aldrrmanc headGear All the caps
were blue except one. which was white. and this
white one Addicks proceeded to present. with a
flourish To Alderman Farmer. saying as he did so
II give this To Alderman Farmer 10 wear as an
emblem Of purity
All 'he other Aldermen laughed. for Mr.. Farmer
had been prominent In his opposition to AddickSs 5
schemes IN the Board. Mr. Farmer accepted the
white cap and wore II without any protest, or. for
that matter. any cOmplacency. But som" time
later IN the day when tn" party were lined up be-
fore a soda fountain. MIR. Farmer said
"Can you tell me. Mr. Addicks. what is the DIFF
ference between the man who runs this soda
fountain ana YOU"
"Wcli no. l can't" said Addicks. what is it,"
This man makes his money by putting gas into
water. and you make yours by putting water into
gas"
This papIblr hit at the Delaware financier's op-
crationS At the time regarded by the company
is very fair return for the joke of the white cap

THE HAWAIIAN LABOR PROBLEM

IMPORTS from Washington are to the effect
X that the rapid increase OF Japanese immigration
to Hawaii has attracted the attention of our
Government and has given rise to no little concern
in official circles. 1t is added the Bureau OF Immigra-
ton has undertaken to devise means whereby the i'm
migration may be checked, but inasmuch as Congress
failed last winter to enact any permanent form of gov
eminent for the islands, it is not easy to see what can
be done
The subject discussed at some length during the
last session of Congress- and it was noted even then
that the Japanese immigration was growing to
cmnous proportions. Statistics were cited showing
that from August r. 1893, when our flag went up at
Hawaii, to January 8, 1900, there were imported
763o contract aborers of all races and from January
6 to February there had been added 2782 making
Io,4T2 in all Some Europeans, but most were
Japanese and Chinese the japanese being in the ma
jority.
1t is asserted authority OF an official report
from Honolulu that since the annexation Of tbe
islands more than 1900 Japanese have arrived at
that port and reason exists for believing the renort
to be exaggerated In fact Japanese labor has been
highly valued the plantations and the planters are
doubtless doing all they to encourage its immi-
grafton.
We directed attention a short time ago to the un-
satisfactory situation OF white labor in the islands as
reported by the Hawaiian papers themselves 1t
seems to be generally accepted there as has been re-
peatedly said by The Call that white labor is unified
for the cultivation OF tropical sugar fields OF course
the United States consent to permit the nant
to import coolie laborers to compete with the
white labor Of this country. Hence the concern
among the officials at Washington and the efforts now
being made to devise some means of preventing fur
Their Japanese immigration.
According to the Inter Ocean, Senator Cullom
president OF the Hawaiian Commission said in a re-

THE STRIKE
AT REDDING.
REDDING. Cal. June IS, 1899.

REDDING, Cal, June Is, 1899.
To the Editor of The Call-Dear Sirt
Enclosed find a statement placing the
position of the striking miners at Iron
Mountain squarely before the public,
as you have been publishing consider
able matter regarding the lockout.
We respectfully request that you give
our statement position in your valuable
paper.
Thanking you in advance for this
favor, we remain, very respectfully,
THE COMMITTEE.
We, the undersigned, constituting a
committee of the employees of the Iron
Mountain mine at Iron Mountain, Field
ing, Cal, controlled and conducted by the
Mountain Copper Company, limited, beg
leave to make the following statement re-
lating to the strike declared on the 18th
inst: On June 10 a grievance committee
of twelve men waited upon Superintend-
ent Archer and asked for, in behalf of
the employees of the corporation, a uni
/ form increase Of 40 cents in all branches
of the mining business At the present
time miners are receiving 81 so per day,
and the lower grades of workmanship
from 81 60 to 81 10 per day, which in our
opinion is considerably below the aver
age schedule in force on similar proper
ties in this and other parts of the State.
We believe our cause is a just one, and
desire to inform the mining public to that
effect.
We also desire to draw attention to the
state of affairs in the conduct of the
boarding house, which is controlled by
the aforesaid corporation In our opinion
the food provided is absolutely unfit for
human consumption, and in view of the
fact that employees of the company are
compelled to patronze the institution
der penalty of discharge, we consider this
feature a most deplorable one
The strike was a general one, over sou
men going out as against but two, who
oppose them by remaining. We desire to
publicly denounce them by subjecting
them to the ridcule of their fellow-work-
men.
The striking workmen are behaving in
a most orderly manner. Notwithstanding
their just grievances. They have left the
vicinity of the property and are quartered
in towns adjacent thereto.
We desire to call attention to these
facts and ask all miners in sympathy
with their fellow-workmen to assist us in
bringing the strike to a successful terrni-
nation by refraining from offering their
services to the corporation concerned.

MORE THIN THE TRAFFIC WILL BEAR.

NNCE more the Southern Pacific monopoly in
| J its persistent efforts to increase its burdens
and rritations upon the public to the full ex-
tent the traffic will bear has gone beyond the limit
and aroused popular indignation to the point of re-
s1stance 1t has undertaken collect freight charges
upon packages carried by passengers upon the ferry
between this city and Oakland and has begun the
eXtortion under such circumstances and in such a
manner as to make it absolute outrage.
1t appears that notice was given to the public
OF the intention of the monopoly to enforce the
newly devised exactons but the employees at the er-
res received orders demand fare for parcels Thus
the outrage came upon the people in the nature of a
surprise. 1t another Illustration only of
Southern Pacific exortions but OF the Southern Pa
clhc lnsolence OF method of putting its DEGREES into
effect.
In the venture the monopoly is evidently not
playing for itself only The We1ls-Fargo Company
will reap share OF the spos to be exacted by the
freight charges II the extorton can be enforced a
good many additional parcels will be intrusted to
the company for transportation between this city and
the communities on the other side OF the bay, and
there will be dimes taken from the public to
increase the profits OF that taxshirking corporation
Every step in this scheme from conception to en-
forcement shows utter disregard for the rights of
citizens, utter contempt for law and complete in
difference to popular sentiment Believing itself Sc
lure in the possession OF monopoly, the Southern
Pacific is reckless of all else 1t has discovered a
traffic which it thinks bear a heavier burden than
has been borne in the past and proceeds raise the
rates.
In the meantime the Wells Fargo Company, the
ally that is to share in the plumber OF the public, goes
on with its old eXacons of taxes from its patrons
or, to be more exact its victims. Despite the dec-
sons OF many courts that the war revenue act re-
quires express companies to aix the revenue stamps
to parcels passing through their hands, the company
continues to enforce its demands to exact its tribute
to rob the public and enrich itself with all the AFRO
gance OF power superior to Congress- to the courts
and to the people.
1t does at times if all the devils that en-
tered the Gadarene swine had passed from those
beasts to the managers OF the Southern Pacific and
the Wells Fargo companies and had carried some OF
the nature OF the hogs we'll their own abomina
ton with them. They bent upon irritating
as we'll as robbing the public that it is difficult to
credit them with ordinary good sense
1t may be that competing line OF ferry-boats is the
only etfectua remedy for the repeated extortions and
outrages committed by the monopoly but it is
nevertheless, worth while for habitua passengers on
the ferry-boats to make fight II the exactions be
resisted day after day they will have be abandoned
in the end When the burden becomes more than the
traffic will bear monopoly has to stop in its
greed

WELCOME FOR THE OREGON TROOPS

q DISPATCH from Washington announces that
| I the Oregon volunteers, who sailed from Manila
on Wednesday, will return home by way OF
this port San Francisco, therefore, will be the point
at which their welcome should begin and the greeting
here should be not less enthusiastic and loyal than
that which will meet them in their own State
The date OF the arrival OF transport cannot be
fixed as accurately as that OF ocean liner and
therefore it is not certainly known at this time on
what day the troops will arrive stop will be made
at Nagasaki for the purpose of coang, and some
thing like thirty days may be counted on for tie voy
age. That gives ample time to make such prepare
tons as may be necessary to provide welcome which
will assure the volunteers OF the pride with which
their service in the Philippines is regarded through
out the Pacific Coast
When the volunteers of the Eastern States returned
from Cuba they were welcomed with all the
demonstrations OF a patriotism still ardent with the
glow of the spirit which then had not died out OF
the public mind The return of the Pacific Coast
troops occurs under different conditions The war
with Spain has become something of an old story
and popular excitement has subsidized. There remains
however to animate the people that principle of low
atty which never weakens and which is ever ready to
respond to every rghtfu appeal that may be made to
it 1t is fair, therefore, to expect of San Francisco
welcome for the Oregon volunteers equal in every
OF the East their return from Santiago
While the fighting in the Philippines has not held
public attention strongly as did the war with Spain
while there longer great crowds swarmino
around the bulletin boards to catch every new renort
from the front the contest with the Fi1ipinos has
been on the whole severe than that with the
Spanards, and the Pacific Coast troops have done
much service than those of the East who fought
at Santiago. They therefore merit higher reward
OF popular applause and should receive it from the
people OF whatever city first welcomes them back to
the soil OF the United States.
1t was from this port the Oregon volunteers set
forth for the long voyage to the Orient and to this
port they return after having herocay served the
republic and glorlously upheld the prestige of their
State and their section They are not Californians
indeed but they are Pacific Coast men and our fell
ow countrymen. They come to as kinsmen, and
when they land on shores should find their well
come made clear to them by every form of public
manifestation, from the formal action of municral
oc1als to the free and spontaneous outburst of the
cheers and the acclamations OF the people

cent interview that the commission has already done
It's duty in this case 1t has given the planters of
Hawaii to understand that if they do not conform to
the general policy of this country to prevent labor i'm
portatlon the plan of government for Hawaii
pending in Congress will be changed, and be less sat
isfactory to them.
1t is clear from the reports of the increase in the
importation of cheap labor that the of the
commission is not so effective as Senator Cullom
thinks. The Government at Washington will have
to exert itself vigorously to put an end to the evil
and the sooner the exertion is made the better.
