| il is generally agreed that the. Mongol
ian standard Of life is such that no
i American workman can hope to compete
with him in the matter of wages. Not
only common labor but the skilled bran

titon.
Cigarmakers have felt the effect OF
chinese labor competition. They were
compelled TO adopt their present "blue''

all organized trades to boycott Chinese

signed for objection to Chinese labor. in

for much lower wages than what any

UNIONS WOULD
EXCLUDE CHINESE
Local Labor Leaders Favor the Re-enact-
ment by Congress of the Geary
Exclusion Act.
PREPARATIONS BEING MADE FOR CAMPAIGN

All labor circles throughout the country
paign to secure a re-enactment by Con-
gress Of the Geary Chinese Exclusion
Act. which expires May 6, 1902, and it
is probab g that the United Labor
League of this city will take some action
and lift its voice against the Celestials
being permitted to swarm into this coun-
fiy.
The first act was passed by Congress
on May 6, 1882, and covered a period OF
ten years. On May 5, 1892, the exclusion
Of Chinese. and persons OF Chinese de-
scent was extended for further period
of ten years. Since the requirement of
the Hawaiian Islands and the PHILIPPINES

the question again arises for further
ehactments to prevent an influx of Chin

and in many ways unfairly criticised.
The evil result is apparent.
There has resulted from affairs in
China a feeling of disbursement as
to the success of Christian missions in
foreign parts. This is natural. but for
those who look beneath the surface the
feeling disappears. Reading recently a
report of work done in Japan, 1 real
lied that much has been done and
much more will be accomplished. The
differences between protesting Chris

background, and endeavors to impart
knowledge. the one truth, which COM
mends itself to all humanity, is the
principle contained in the Golden

when men consent to confer instead of
engaging in costly and vain warfare.
The suggestion made that open and
avowed law-breakers, those who believe
that all rulers are menace to liberty,
and who preach such anarchy, that
these should be removed to an island
and left to demonstrate the truth, or
the falsity, of their doctrine. This seems
the only practical suggestion: Left to
their own devices these agitators would
find need for self protection; those
who survived the experiment could
teach us a lesson, or possibly learn
one, from the failure of their scheme.
In any event it would remove a cause
of friction and thus compass the way
of peace.
No intelligent effort to help men has
ever failed, or can ever fail. If a peace

Unnecessary Friction.

Editor of the Morning News: The
effort to pass and to enforce an ordi-
name requiring conductors to provide
separate seats for the two races on
the street cars does not seem to me to
be feasible better trust to the good
sense and breeding of both. The street
car is the poor mans carriage and we
need not demand too much of exclusive
privilege. Such legislation has not
proved helpful in other cities and is
not likely to benefit Savannah.
In Atlanta we have a number Of
buildings ranging in hight from six
to fourteen stories, used as offices.
These are provided with an elevator
service free to all. Where. there is but
one car no distinction is made between
the races, but where from three to
six are provided one Is set apart for
negroes. This has worked successful
ly, there are hundreds of young women
employed in the offices, and there is a
general feeling that these should be
shielded from adverse influences.
They are called upon to inhale con-
siderable amount of cigarette smoke.
but with this exception they are treat
ed with courtesy and consideration.
Yet the Outlook. Sept IA, printed a
letter from a correspondent in Atlanta
stating that in the Prudential build
ing the car used to convey negroes
bore this inscription: This car for
negroes and other large packages. .
This was printed in italics. In this
building of ten stories are four eleva-
tors, also marble stairways to each
floor, thus giving choice of mode OF
ascent. One car bears this inscription:
