EXCLUSION ACT
Manila Chamber Of Commerce
Wants ChiDamGl
Declares Building in Manila Is
Badly Retarded Because OF
Lack Of Labor

Manila, Jan. 27.-The American
Chamber of Commerce here has for
mulated an appeal to congress, in
which it earnestly appeals for the en-
actment Of laws allowing Cinnamon
TO enter the Philippine Islands, under
such restrictions as the United States
Philippine commission may enact. The
present restrictive law concerning i'm
migration, continues this appeal, Is
OF no benefit TO the Filipinos. China
men, II admitted, would not enter into
competition with local labor, and their
entry into the islands is imperatively
needed, as the tobacco, hemp and
sugar lands OF the archipelago are
only partially cultivated. Without this
legislation the country cannot be prop
erly developed. Building in Manila
has been badly retarded because of
this lack Of labor, and for these rea-
sons the American Chamber Of Com
merce, composed entirely Of American
citizens representing the commercial
interests, respectfully prays for imns
dlate action in this matter.
Felipe Buencamino, one Of the di
rectors of the Federal party. is endeav.
oring TO inaugurate an exhibition OF
commerce, TO be held next December
He relies mainly upon exhibits from
the United States, China, Japan, siam
and Borneo. The merchants otManila
are inclined to think that this exhibi
tion should he delayed another year
but II sufficient support is promised
the United States Philippine commits
sion will be asked to assist in carry
ing out the idea.
