The following issued by the Jap

to inspire to action any thinking

The warning is embraced in the
following:
Are you aware of the danger
which threatens the United States
of America and our white people
from the Orient?
"China has a population of 450,-
100000; Japan population Of
about 50,000,000; Korea and other

about 60,000,0OO, making a total

Of these immense hordes of people

handful of rice and a small piece
Of dried fish a day, with bit of
rancid pork as an occasional lux

wages that amount to from to
10 cents a day. This vast 'Coolie'
army of Asia is looking with long
ing eyes to America as their land
of promise.
eve are not afraid of their
words: but we fear their rice.
They cannot conquer us by arms,
nor can they outwork us; but they
can outlive us and thus force the
white race in this country out of
existence, if they are allowed to
come here.
do YOU WANT TO COMPETE
FOR YOUR BREAD AND BUTTER

COOLIES?

America stop them from coming.

Railroad Officials.

Experience no Great Trou-
bles East of Pittsburg.

Following on conferences be-
tween the representatives of the
different branches of railway en-
ployes and the companies on the
Western railroads, in which re-
adjustment Of the wage system, a
shorter workday and higher wages
are demanded, the men on the
Eastern roads are asking for a re-
adjustment Of the wage, involving
more pay or shorter hours. Ac-
cord1ng to representatives Of the
railroad companies in New York,
conferences are annually held to
readjust wages and settle any
grievances which may have arisen,
but say there is no likelihood of
any trouble. The Eastern lines in
volved up to the present are the
New York Central, Delaware, Lack
awanna & Western and the Gen.
trail Railroad of New Jersey.
Members of the railroad broth
erhoods do not take the matter as
coolly as the representatives of the
companies. They talk as if the
matter was serious, and say that
the enormous increase of traffic
on nearly all the systems of late
years necessitates a readjustment of
the wage system. Conferences are
being held or are to be held be-
tween representatives of the men
and the companies on three roads
named, and it was said tonight that
the Reading, Pennsylvania and
Erie railroads will come next. In
the Pennsylvania system negotia
lions as to REIMBURSEMENT of the
wage system have been opened by
the trainmen over the wage scale
of 1907. The company does not
expect any trouble east of Pitts
burg, it is said, but the joint griev-
ance committee of all the branches
of employees will soon begin meet
ings in Philadelphia.
The principal organizations of
railroad men. are the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Firemen
the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men and the Order of Railway Con-
ductors. The trainmen's organiza-
ton takes in the switchmen, yard
men, brakemen and in some cases

mittee representing the trainmen
has been engaged in conference with

1t was said that the demands of
the New York Central are more
sweeping than on the other roads.
The men want an increase in wages
or the eight-hour day where it is
not altogether in force.
The number Of men on the West
ern roads affected by the demands
are $4,000. The New York Central
has about $4,000 employees, the
Pennsylvania $4,000 and the other
roads about $4,000. The strike
sensational reports came from the
West that the Switchmen's Union
of North America had made de-
mands on the Western roads and
was going to order a general strike
which would tie up all the roads.
These reports were secuted at the
time by representatives of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen,
who said that the Switchmen,s I'm
| ion of North America was a small
organization, containing one-fifth of
the men controlled by the Broth
erhood. Later the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen made demands on
the Western roads, which are still
pending.
United Harbor Lodge No. 1 of
New York of the American Asso-
citation of Masters, Mates and Pilots
made a request recently on all the
railroads operating tugboats and
steam lighters in New York harbor
for an advance in wages. Luther
3. Dow, counsel for the organiza-
ton, said that the requests had
been granted by nearly all the COM
panies and the rest would follow.
The advance asked was from 1925
to $135 month.
With view to settling the ma
chinists' strike on the Southern
Railway, members of the machinists
organization representing the strik-
ers left Washington yesterday for
New York for a conference with
Samuel Spencer of the Southern.
James O'Connell, president of the
International Association of Machin-
lists, has been in conference with
the strike representatives, and ac-
companied them to New York. The
conference is being held in the Of
fices of President Spencer. 80
Broadway.
The grievance committee of the
engineers and firemen of the Della
ware, Lackawanna & Western Rail-
road met President Truesdale in
New York yesterday, having failed
to reach an agreement with the
general superintendent. The switch
men have been in conference with
the general superintendent since
Monday last. The grievance COM
mittee of the trainmen will ask the
general superintendent for a con-
ference as soon as the demands
have been formulated. All the
railroads throughout the country
have, It is understood, declined to
grant the demands made by the
switchmen for an increase in wages
and better conditions. Information
to this effect has been sent to
Grand Master Frank T. Hawley,
whose headquarters are at Chicago.
Just what action will now be
taken is not known, but it is GER
tain that the switchmen on the
various railroads are preparing to
take further steps toward securing
their demands.
The information comes from a
reliable source here that the rail-
roads are expecting trouble, and
are preparing to meet it.
