WORK|NCMEN
FACE INVASION

All kinds of labor in Spokane,
whether union or nonunion, is
united in opposing the conquest of
the Pacific coast by the hordes of
Asiatics now pouring across the
northern border. Working men
claim they can see no difference be-
tween an Industrial conquest and a
military conquest. The result will
be for them just the same. They
contend that this is their country;
they developed its resources and
have defended It from foreign en-
croachment. and they will notsisit
idly by and permit the coolie labor
of Asia to take 1t from them with
out struggle.
The action Of the white laborers
of Bellingham in driving out ithe
Hindus in the employ or the mills
in that city is commended, on 1.-THE
whole by labor generally, and by
many who are engaged in mercan-
tile pursuits. They realize thatithe
coming into the country Of thel ia
panese and Hindus and Koreans
means the destruction of their busi-
ness, and that they, too, will have
to suffer along with the toilers.
While acts of violence are to be
deplored, the men who have been
run out of 1 mill after another by
the Asiatics who have supplanted
them, have been long suffering, and
it is most likely felt that as no
protection could be secured from
the Representatives Of the state in
congress and the national govern
ment, there was no recourse but to
primitive methods in protecting
themselves and families from the
encroachment Of foreigners.
At the Blakely mill. on Puget
sound, over 500 Japanese have been
employed by that concern for years
past. 1t is noticeable that while
every chamber of commerce In the
state is protesting against an in
crease in railroad rates on lumber
not 1 word has been said by these
booster" organizations in defense
of the white laborer and his
heritage in this western country.
1t Is hoped by Spokane laboring
men generally that the action of
the mob in Bellingham will have
the effect of bringing this condi-
ton Of affairs to the attention OF
the proper authorities and compel
the government to realize that this
is a white mans country and that
the men who have stood ready al
all times to defend their homes
from foreign military invasion will
repell an industrial invasion which
| in time would result in greater
hardships than the occupation o.
the country by a hostile military
i force.

JAP WOMEN .SLA We TRADE A
MENACE TO UNITED TES|
BY c. II. TAVENNER.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. g.
what proportion of truth is there
In the charges of gross immortality
against the Japanese?"
This. question was propounded to
Secretary A. E. Yoell. of the Japa-
nese and Korean Exclusion league.
For an answer Yoell handed over
a mass of correspondence address
ed TO the league by the officers of
labor unions in Pacific coast cities.
The labor unions of every city or
any size of the Pacific coast are af-
filiated with the Exclusion league,
and from time to time report the
progress being made by the Japa-
nese in their particular locality.
That is, it is nearly always prog
ress, as once the little brown man
gets a foothold in an industry or
community he FORCES ahead rapid
~, and small colonies soon grow
into thriving Japanese villages.
Here is typical report from E.
Hafercamp. secretary of the Cen
trail Labor union, Bellingham,
Wash. 1t reads:
Your communication of June 25
al hand. There are $50 japanese In
Bellingham. of whom 80 are noto-
rious females. There are 6 Japa-
nese restaurants. Many Japanese
are coming across the line from
British Columbia
Nineteen similar reports from
small Pacific cities showed an
aggregate of 1907 Japanese, of
which sol, or about one-sixth, were
Japanese women of vicious charac-
ter.
w. E. Griffs, for many years an
instructor in Japan, has the follow
ing to say of the Japanese women
and the Japanese religion:
The only religion of Japan
worthy Of a name is Buddhism. Yet
even in this there is no hope for
q woman, unless she is reborn as
man, which means there is no sal
walton for a woman. In the eye OF
Buddhist, dogma, ecclesiastical
law-and Monkish asceticism, WON
an is but a temptation, a snare, an
unclean thing, a scapegoat, an OBJ.
stacle to peace and holiness.
