A NEW POINT RAISED.
Sailors Union Protest Against Re
shipping a Chinese Crew.

The steamer Pekin of the Pacific Mail
steamship Company became disabled some
time aSo off the coast of Japan and put
into the port of Kobe. Japan, for repairs
The Chinese crew of the vessel which had
been engaged at Hong Kong, has been
sent by the steamer Gaaic to San Fran
cisco to reship on the newly built steamer
Korea, now on its way to San Francisco
from Newport News, where she was built
The Sailors Union of San Francisco pro-
tested against permitting the crew to be
reshipped at San Francisco but after a
long hearing the collector at San Francisco
and the commissioner of immigration here
decided that there was nothing in the i'm
mlgrat ton laws to prevent the crew going
on the new vessel. The Sailors Union
however. has raised a new point This is
that the Chinese sailors must, according
to the navigation laws. sign new contracts
at San Francisco before sailing on the
Korea. The signing of these contracts on
American soil would be in violation of the
alien contract labor law, it is claimed. The
point has caused the immigration officials
here to telegraph for more facts, as the
question may be an important one

his home. The invitation was accepted.
1t was the first extended the President for
a New England trip, and was the first ac-
cepted by him. All the other plans have
been made since. 1t is now regarded as
peculiar that NJ. I-ittlefield's name is not
included among those to be visited by the
President. 1t is believed here that the
President and Mr.. Lttlefield had an under
standing to call off the visit, or, probably,
to have no announcement of it made in ad-
vance if the President is really going there
Possibly the President Gid no. care for a
revival of the trust discussion of some

made that Mr.. Littlefield is at work on a
trust bill to be submitted to Congress that

shooting on sight. Now, however, there is
no legislation on the subject and the Eng

until all the parties concerned can voice
their opinions The hesitancy to deal sum
marily with the natives is causing both

frOntery.
