Norfolk Va, Nov 19.--"Asiatic
labor must keep out!" That is the
slogan of the organized workers of
this country-in fact. of North Am
erica, for the Canadian Trade Union
congress. at its recent session in
Winnipeg, gave expression to the
above sentiment in unmistakable
tones.
BY unanimous vote, and after an
interesting discussion in which every
phase of the curse or coolie labor
was plainly set forth, the delegates
to the American Federation OF La
Dor i'm convention, representing p
100000 trade unionists, demanded
that congress enact the necessary
legislation so that the present Chi
neSe exclusion law can he applied to
Japanese, Korean and Hindu labor.
The prohibition of Asiatic immi-
grafton is demanded upon the broad
ground, first, tnat the wage and liV-
ing standards of such labor are dam
gerous to, and must. If granted rec
ognition in the United States, prove
destructive of the American stand
ards in these essential respects; and
secondly, that a racial Incompatible
ity, as between the peoples of the
sents problem of race preservation
which 1t is our imperative duty to
solve I'm cur own favor, and which
can only be thus solved by a policy
of exclusion.
Chinese Law Enective.

not know that If the Chinese exclu-
sion law had not been enacted Cali

discussing this question.
Mr.. Macarthur is editor of the
Coast Seamen's Journal of San Fran
cisco, a deep student. and, by reason
of the position he holds as an officer
of the International Seamen's Union,
the best posted man on the Asiatic
labor problem to be found on the
Pacific slope.
Another fact that the people of
the east fail 10 appreciate" contin-
ued Mr.. Macarthur. "is that there
are enough Japs who have had
military training in California at this
moment to form a good sized regi-
ment, and as many more I'm the
Hawaiian Islands. We westerners
are not jingoistic, nor are we alarm
lists, but / want to tell you that we
don't intend to wait until the Japs
swarm over our section of the coun-
try like an army of locusts before we
sound a note of warning.
Let this further fact sink deep into
the minds of those careless Ameri-
cans who have regarded our appeals
with good-natured Indifference: We
never can assimilate the japanese,
and should not If we could. unless
we want to destroy our civilization
and our race. The Asiatics look upon
us with the utmost contempt; they
hate US and our institutions. and
they are transplanting all their ideas
of morality, religion and life gener-
ally.
THE Jap is a live wire; we de-
mand that he be excluded before il
is too late, otherwise the American
may be treated to some severe
shocks"

PRESIDENT VIEWS
PLAN WITH FAVOR
Another Bill VIII be Presented to
Give Legal Status to Proposed
Improvements--Smaller AZ
fairs VIII be Given
Attention.

Washington, ID. c., Nov. 19.--Rep-
resentative Bartholde, of Missouri,
after a talk with President Roose-
ton of introducing bill soon as
congress meets to give a legal status
to the inland waterways commission,
which was created by the executive
act, and another bin providing for
five hundred million dollar bond
issue to establish a fund for perma-
nent great waterway improvements,
leaving smaller projects to be taken
care of in the regular river and har-
Dor bills. Bartholde says the presi-
dent regards the plan with favor.
Magnitude of Plan.
Mr.. Bartholde further said that
the magnitude of the plan ror a oeep
waterway route via the Illinois river
and drainage canal from Chicago to
the Mississippi river and thence to
the gulf was somewhat astounding
but that the five hundred million
dollars in bonds would be ample for
accom- plishing the first work, in his
opinion. 1t will not, however, be suf-
ficient to take in the work upon
streams emptying into the rivers
named and those must be provided
for as heretofore by the regular riv-
er and harbor bill.
Bartholde believes there will be
no great opposition in the house to
the bill and he does not apprehend
any trouble over its passage in the
senate, as both bodies have become
conversant with needs of the great
valley with its millions upon mill
lions of people, who will ali be bene-
fitted by the deep waterways and
the lessened freight rates which are
sure to follow.
Congressman Favor Project.
Every congressman with one or
two exceptions west or Ohio favors
the project and practically a ma
jority of those east of that state will
vote for the measure, owing to the
interest of their friends in the east
ern states. He believes that the bill
will pass on its first vote in the
house and that the senate will pass
1t within ten days thereafter.
Includes Deep Channel
The work to be included in the
proposed deep waterway will be a
deep channel capable of accommo-
dating large vessels, from Chicago
via the Chicago canal, through the
Illinois river to the Mississippi near
Grafton, ILL.,, and thence down the
Mississippi to the guIf. The entire
distance is to be dredged out and
the channel strengthened where nee
essory.
1t viii require a number of years
to complete the work, after con-
its accomplishment and it cannot be
in use from end to end before at
least eight years have gone by. For
this reason the advocates of the
deep waterway are urging haste on
the part OF congress.

In hereown behalf. Mrs. Bradley
was on the stand during the entire

Iing that Brown promised to get a

down several times during the. re-
cital OF her relations with Brown

Mrs. Bradley was unable to bear
up several times during the recital
or her wrongs, especially when she
told of Browns brutality She had
not reached the story OF the killing
| nor told any of her intentions In
| that regard when adjournment was
taken at noon, and her counsel ask
ed that court reconyene at q later
hour than usual in order 70 give her
an opportunity to regain her COM

and seemed too weak to more than
walk with their assistance. 1t is
breakdown before the case is finish-
ed. Her physicians state that they

Her Story.
She told the FURY this morning
that she was living respected life,
prominent In oratoricai and literary
pursuits, when Arthur Brown, then
United States senator, came into
view. She became enamored OF him,
and left everything finally at his re-
quest to become his veritable slave.
She worked for Brown politically,
socially and every other way. and
her high standing made her efforts
worth much to him.
He apparently appreciated her ef-
forts for time. but nna1iy. after he
left the senate. began to pay less and
less attention to her or her little
boys. She told the jury that the
father of the two boys was Arthur
Brown, the dead man. and that he
had never attempted TO deny to any
one that fact.
VIII Tell OF Shooting.
1t Is the intention to have Mrs.
Bradley tell the jury the whole story
OF the shooting and the quarrel, lf
there was any that led up to 1t.
She Is the only living witness of the
tragedy and she alone can inform
the jury OF all matters connected
with IT, Her attorneys say that they
will have her tell It all, reserving
nothing, in order that the provoca-
tion she labored under may be
shown.
