CHINESE BOYCOTT
President Roosevelt Has Given His Views on The Boycott of
 American Goods.

San Francisco, Dec 15.-Responding to communications from the Mer- chants exchange of San Francisco, President Roosevelt has written let ter in which he expresses his views concerning the Chinese boycott of American goods and also the exclusion laws. The president writes that this government must do justice as well as exact justice; that Chinese laborers should he excluded, but that the ex- -empt classes of Chinese should be treated cUurteously. If the exclusion laws need amending. American me-. chants must exercise their influence for amendment, he says. The presi- dent adds that the immigration depart ment has acted with utmost harshness toward the Chinese, the fault resting ultimately with mistaken public opin- ion.
 In regard to the Chinese boycott O. American goods, the president says that everything in his power and that of the state department has been done 10 stop the boycott. Anything fur. ther." he continues. must be done bT your own representatives in the senate and house by way of making such changes in the exclusion laws as t0 prevent the injustice and humiliation to which the Chinese who do not be- long to the coolie class have been sub jected in coming to this country"
 The Merchants exchange held n meeting and gave prompt acquiescence to the presidents views by adopting resolutions favoring such amendments to the exclusion laws as would cause them to conform to what the chief ex- ecutive deemed right and just

LOGGERHEADS Labor Unions Disagree
 at Boston.
 LISTERS DEFIANT
Shoe Workers Union However, Con tindes, to Furnish Lasters to
 Fill Strikers Places---
 Strike May Spread.

Boston, Dec 15.-Despite the defiant attitude of the lasters who went on strike at the factory of the E. E. Tay TOT Shoe Manufacturing Co at Brock ton, the general officers of the Boot and Shoe Workers union in this city Wlll' It was stated to-day, continue to support the position taken by the fac tory officials and to aid in supplying competent lasters to fill the places of the strikers.
 The possibility that the strike at brockton might spread to other shoe factories in that city and throw some lo.0oO operatives out of work was called to the attention to-day of Presi. aeht John r. Tobin of the Boot and Snoe Workers union. President Tobin sald he hoped that the strike would not be far reaching in it's effect. He added, however, that the number of men involved would not influence the ofhcers of the organization.
 The question involved in this strike at Brockton." said Presidert 'obln, lis a principle and not the | humber of men who are out of work " "Noiu Dt uHlOTluHaCe IT the great industry of Brockton were plunged into strike, but even the complete Reorganization of our forces in that city will not deter the general execu tive board of the Boot X Shoe Work CTS union from the position it has taken. We have contract with the D. F. Taylor Co and we do not pro pose to break faith"
 Secretary c. l.. Baine of the Boot X Shoe Workers union sent q letter last night to the Lasters' union at Brock, ton. advising the strikers to return tc work at the Taylor factory. He sug gested that the strikers accept the ra;e made by the state board of arbitration pending a new agreement or decision the local union in the meantime to pay the men the difference between the award and the temporary price for merly agreed upon. or such difference as the local union may deem fair. Nc reply had been received to the com municatiOn at the headquarters to- | day. .f.r

duced in the legislature to aid one fac tion in the Equitable to get control of the society.
 Ut has been openly charged" said MT Hughes, that you get your politl- cal influence through your relations with MT Odell.''
 T should say that Mir Odell gets his political influence through his re- lations with me-" responded Mir Har- riman.
 Continuing, he said that when a movement was on foot to give the con- trol of the Equitable to James W. Alexander and his friends, by means of legislative action at Albany, he asked certain persons in Albany to keep him informed as to the progress such proceedings might make. When asked who these men were MT Harri- man requested to be excused from an swering. He did not want to answer because he did not want to give occa- sion for sensational newspaper head lines.
 The committee and counsel retired for consultation. Mr Hartman said he needed to consult an attorney be, fore he could answer After the re- turn of the committee the members de cided that he should answer, and he did so He said that the persons from whom he had requested information were Governor Higgins and the late Speaker Nixon of the assembly. After he made his answer the chair man of the committee said: We are very sorry you gave such an air of mystery to this matter. as we all know that such inquiries are regular and common"
 Mir Hartman then said: T ask the press to spare these men and not bring their names in the head lines.

RUSSIAN REFUGEES
Johanna Stein and Her Children in Chicago Her Hair Prema-
 turely Cray.

Chicago, Dec 15.-Her hair preIna- tllrely gray, her face lined with suf fering, Mrs Johanna Stein, a Russian refugee, reached Chicago yesterday. She and her two children went un- scatched through the horrors of a massacre November 1 at Kremenzug, near Odessa. One hundred and fifty Jews were killed and many more wounded.
 Mrs Stein and her children were hidden for hours under a feather bed in an attic, while the rioters went through their quarter of the city, pil- laging, staying, burning and ravishing.
 Tt all seems a horrible dream" said Mrs Stein, through an interpreter. When I received my husbands letter containing our passage money to Amer ica was filled with joy. Every day we expected to be killed. Kremenzug has 10000 people. Most of them are Jews, but they are not allowed to pro- tect themselves They are at the mercy of the police and the rabble.
 There is bund that is composed of Russians and Jews It is a revolu- tionary society and it is supposed to protect the poorer class of Jews, but it does not. When the proclamation of Russian freedom came there was great rejoicing among the Jews. 4 meeting was called of the bund at tlSe town hall. The Jews were told to at tend or they would be killed.
 "Infiammatory speeches were mads at the town hall meeting on November | 1. The next day we learned that the chief of police had secretly arranged | for massacre of the Jews by the Black Hundred composed of the rab | ble.
 'The next day the massacre began The rioters were mad with vodka Women had their clothing torn from them. Some of them were strung ur by the wrists and whipped. little children were thrown from the upper windows on the bayonets and swords of the brutes below. The hair and boards were torn from old men. Many men stabbed their wives and their daughters so they would not fall into the hands of the devils. Ther the men threw themselves on the swords of the rioters. Those of then who were armed sold their lives dear | ly"
