that something be done TO remedy the
present condition, and induce the China
men to once more resume removing gar
hage from the residences. He told In
a dramatic way OF his enforced labor In
being compelled to dig hole in his
back yard wherein to bury refuse, and
stated that he had not realized the un.
toward consequences which would result,
