Many large employers are decided

they realize that they are training up

Il won't teach men to cut my

from a large employer, when asked
why he had no Oriental labor on his
payroll. A plumber said: when |
was doing work on the Sanitary
laundry, a Japanese offered me $50
to teach him TO wipe a Joint. Some
white plumbers who came down here
In 1900 and 1901 made a good deal Of
money teaching their trade TO Japs.

It has not been found possible to
procure exact data showing how
many white skilled artisans hav
been displaced by Asiatics. Records
kept by seven establishments employ
ing bricklayers. carpenters, plumbers,
painters, plasterers, and masons show
that while they had 1853 skilled white
workmen In their employ In 1901,
they had only forty-three in 1905.
