PREPARED TO FIGHT
CHINESE EXCLUSION
OPPONENTS READY FOR STRUGGLE
Manufacturing states eontend the
Celestial should NotBe ESept
Out-Labor Holds "A Very Dit
ferent View.

| Singular as il may appear. one of the
| biggest fights of the coming session OF
/ Congress according to present Indications
will be on the question Of the extension of
/ the Chinese immigration law. $s is well
| known, the law expires in May Of next
year. and already the opposing forces are
! lining up for the struggle. It has been
| the general impression that the proposed
law extending the time during which Chi
| nese should not be allowed to enter the
United States for another twenty years,
would be passed without much trouble
On the contrary. = strong opposition has
been developed. and it is already assured
that there VIII be bitter fight.
EHects Upon Trade.
The principal element which favors the
removal Of restrictions upon Chinese i'm
migration comes from the manufacturing
states Of the East and Middle West. The
argument that is used IS that Z Jhe Unit
ed States expects TO gain trade from China.
this country must ;reat the Chinese with
as much consideration as the people of
other nationalities. They say. and quote
statistics TO prove it, that the trade Tossi-
2
enormous; that one Of the principal OBJ
jects in keeping the Philippines was be-
cause of the advantage they would give.
as forming a gateway TO this trade. and
that If the United States only gets its fair
share of the great commerce that is await
ing development in that quarter, 1t YsiH
far overbaIance any disadvantage we
might suffer through the abandonment of
our exclusive policy toward the Chinese.
Labor Up in Arms.
On the other hand labor is up in arms
on the subject. Senator's and Repre-
ssntatives are being bombarded with let
5ers and petitions from labor unions and
organizations OF all kinds in every part of
The country urging the prompt passage
of a bill to extend the exclusion act Be-
sides the usual arguments which we're
used with such effect twenty years ago, it
is row claimed that the trusts and COM
bipatiOns are at the back OF the opposi-
ton which has sprung up against the ex-
tension of the law. 1t is declared that
they want the Chinese labor to enter
into competition with the white labor
lere SO that they may increase their
profits at the expense of the laboriHg
mcu- The unions declare that the tight
on this bill is but another phase of the
war between capital and labor. and there
is a hint in the urgency of their de-
mands which suggests that the members
of Congress who fail to prove themselves
the friends OF labor now viii be remem-
bered when the time comes for +bair re-
election

Frank L E Evans, DisbuTsing Clerk OF

Many Bills on the subject.

There will be a number of bills on the
subject introduced early in the coming
session Among others who have given
the matter consideration is Senator Fair
banks. He has prepared two measures
on the subject. One of these is a simple
proposition for Re extension of the Chi
nese exclusion law now on the statute
books for further period of twenty
years. The other is a bill providing ma
chinery whereby the courts can hear ap-
peals, in cases in which the right of Chi
nese to remain in this country is called in
dispute, without unnecessary delay or
expense.

Mr.. Traceyyeu7s Contention.

Mr. TraceweH said in his decision in re-
gard TO this matter: Where transpor-

by a transportation company as grstu-
py, nothing is actually paid for it, and
the officer OF employe does not actually
incur any expense therefor. which Inder

the right TO reimbursement for the
value of it. Whether or not the trans
portation is a gratuity il usually a ques-
ton of fact 70 be determined from the
circumstances under which il IS issued. Il
appears that Mr. Hyde has paid and ac-
counted to the National Geographic Mag
aZine' for the full commercial value of the
tickets issued by the railroad companies
IN account Of advertising in said maya
zine. Il sppears therefore, that Mr. HYDE
was q passenger for hire on all the roads
over which he Travelled on his journey.
He IS therefore entitled 10 eimburse-
menJ for the amount actually paid for
said transportation.

BEAUTIFUL HATS ON EXHIBI-
TON AT JONAS LONGS SONS
MILLINERY OPENING.

Quite number of ladies living at a
distance We're unable TO be present yes
| terday at Jonas Longs Sons millinery
| opening on account of the car strike
now in progress. Had the cars been
running, an overwhelming crush would
| have marked the initial day of this
notable opening. AS it was, IA steady
stream of visitors poured into the
show-rooms throughout the entire day
and regaled themselves with the beau
tiful sights which We're spread for their
ediiication and delight,
Too much praise cannot be given this
liberal, enterprising firm for providing
Scranton with such a superb fashion
show, where ladies can come and en-
joy the newest creations of foreign and
American millinery without going out
of the city.
The second floor millinery show
rooms are beautifully and tastefully
decorated with autumn leaves and
illuminated with plenty of light, pre-
senting a scene of attractive beauty
and elegance that is an inspiring spec
tacle. The worlds best millinery fash
ions are to be seen in all their rich
variety of color and styles.
The new Flodira, Gainsborough and
Turban hats, in all their marvellous
modes of trimming, take the lead this
season, although many other exquisite
fashions awaken considerable admir-
alton.
Nothing is lacking TO make this
notable millinery opening pronounced
success, and the two remaining DAYS
will no doubt be well attended by the
ladies of Scranton and vicinity, as
fashion spectacle like Jonas Longs
Sons opening is worth coming many
miles to see. ..
