That the Miners and La

view with alarm the inroads
that Chinese labor is making
in our fair city, by securing
the work that should be done
by the willing hands Of our
own people, especially in
laundries, restaurants, hotels
and as household help.
And, whereas, we now have
plenty of hotels, restaurants,
a union steam laundry and
several white women who are
doing a laundry business at
their home, where Chinese
labor is not employed
We, the undersigned, mem
bers of said organizations, by
order of our respective un-
ions, do hereby appeal to and
request all union men and
women and the public gener-
ally in and around the fair
city of Tonopah, who are in
sympathy with organized la
Dor, to cease their patronage
of Chinese restaurants, laun-
drys and all places where
Chinese labor is employed,
thus giving our own race a
chance to live.
