COOLIES FROM CHINA and JAPAN
TO FLOOD THE EAST AND SOUTH

importation of cheap oriental labor
would find ready entrance.
The United States is always the
goal of the coolie laborer. He has
heard of this country as the place Of
high wages and abundant work, and
every city and town of the Missis-
sippi valley and the New England
states, would soon have its contin-
gent. Such is the belief of those
who are familiar with the disposition
of these people, and with the labor
situation
Can't Keep Them Out.
Hardly less trouble is anticipated
from the Chinese Reports of the
commissioner of immigration show
that it is even now impossible to
keep out the Chinese who come to
the United States through Mexico.
In spite of the fact that every ves-
sci fs reported and watched they
come to that country, landing at
Bahia del Magdalena, San Jose del
Cabo, Guaymas. Mazatlan, San Bias,
Manzarillo. Puerto Angel and other
places Every Mexican town and city
now has its Chinese contingent: and
the goal of every one of those China
men is the United States. They come
to Mexico ostensibly to work in the
mines, and In other forms of en-
ployment; but they soon become dis
satisfied with conditions and wages,
and head for the state. Every week,
and almost every day, a box car load
ha
headed off by the army of inspectors,
! but others escape the vigilance of
the government and get in. On long
wild frontier border it is almost i'm
possible to keep the lines drawn
! tightly and the Chinese are willing
to make long journeys and to under
| go hardships to arrive at their desti-
nation.
! With thousands of Chinese in the
canal strip the task of the immigra-
! ton authorities would be greatly in
| creased With the many wiles with
/ which the race is familiar, and aided
by subsidized steamship lines, 1T is
. said by the inspectors that certain
number would be sure to escape the
vigilance of the authorities and get
into the United States.
It will surprise some people to
learn that the japanese laborers are
coming to the United States at the
rate of about $4,000 a year. During
, the year ending July ], 1904, the
records of the department of com
merce and labor showed the arrivals
to be 1882. Since July l, 1904 and
!, up to the end of February, there were
; 1856 japanese arrivals at our ports
The Russian Japanese war has caus'

nese, so Seeley's experiment is being
looked forward to with much inter-
est, although there are many who
smile and shake their heads doubt
fully.
This novel solution of the labor
problem was suggested to Seeley by
the testing remark of a guest on his
place, while watching number OF
Japs hopping about under the trees
picking up runes. What are those
monkeys doing?" asked the guest.
Immediately Seeley's mind reverted
to his experience a number of years
before in Central America, where he
had liver for some time on a coffee
plantation surrounded by dense for
est swarming with monkeys. The
little animals had become very
friendly with the native workers on
the plantation. Many OF the most

conclusion was that Seeley was hav-
ing a bit of fun. But he wasn't.
Seeley has sent to Central America
for 500 of the little simian natives
of that country, and on their arrival
here he will begin Immediately the
work of training them so that their
services as fruit pickers will be
available next harvest time.
The life of the fruit grower has
always been a burden during picking
season on account of scarcity of la

AS to the educated japanese in this

BY unanimous vote, the California
legislature adopted a resolution ask

otherwise, to restrict the coming of
Japanese laborers to the states
Such action may. if undertaken, be
involved with great difficulty, because
japan would not accept a treaty call

All three bodies agreed on the need of some more help in disposing of the heavy dockets in each of the two districts. They agreed that Judge Thomas c. Jones cannot well undertake the work in the future and do full justice to the business accommodating on the dockets.
 Until few days ago the Birming- ham bar contended that there should be not only a new judge but new dis trict. They wanted to cull out of the two districts now in existence a fourth the new judge. The other bar organi. zations of the State did not agree with this proposition, saying they only want- ed the new tudgeship to help out Judge Jones and did not express any wish for an extra district. Only few days met and resolved .o consent to the new judgeship without smother district. They requested Congressman Oscar Un- derwood to com nunicate with me to get my consent to draft a bill for the judgeship and under the bill which l am drafting the judge will reside n Birmingham and is to confer with Judge Jones and between the two they will apportion the work of the two dockets. There is precedent for this arrangement in other States and we will press the bill."
