MEASURES AIMED
At FOREIGNERS
Bills That viii Have Tendency
to Clip Wings of Grating
Employment Agencies.
CONDITIONS IN BINGHAM
HOLMAN GIVES THE SITUATION
AS HE SEES 1T.

Legislation tending TO curtail the prac-
tee which some leaders Of foreign clans
indulge In with regard to levying tribute
on their followers for procuring employ
ment for them was started in the house
yesterday when senate bill No. . and
house bill No Is were passed. The first
named bill provides for the licensing of
employment agencies and their strict reg
ulstion. The last-named makes 1t an Of
Tense against the law for employers or
their agents-Joremen Of mines, for exam
ple-to accept or extract" money from
employees.
In explaining these bills AR Holman
and Mr.. Archibald told Of some of the
conditions which existed in the mining
camps. Mr. Holman said it was the rule
and never the exception that hOrdes of
foreigners were brought to this country
from the south of Europe and given en-
ployment in the mines and works at Bling
ham.
First" said Mr. Holman in substance.
these people come here by reason of the
fact that they are herded together by the
steamship companies. They are unutter-
ably ignorant and have never the f2intest
conception OF making their permanent
home here. They are taken in hand by the
leaders, 60 whom they pay a certain fee
for securing them employment They
work and send their earnings back to the
ttu country. in the course or a dozen
wears they go back themselves with the
accumulation which they have-this is Of
tentimes fortune in the countries whence
they come.
They displace white men. and take the
jobs which white men ought to have.
They have intricate systems of brigand-
age, which no man can solve They COM
nit murders almost without number, and
vendetta Is never over with them
The impossible situation which we have
70 face Is that when murders are COM
mItted we cannot bring the slayers to
justice. In Bingham killings. witnessed
by many persons. myself included in one
instance, went by the board because we
could not get witnesses to bear testimony.
These fellows know that if they bear wit
ness against d murderer they are marked
for the knife. They may escape death for
a year, but in the end they are doomed
as certain as iste.
Another feature about this measure is
that employment agents send out men in
numbers. first being careful to collect the
Zee, TO places where numerous others have
been sent under similar conditions only
10 find. when they arrive. that there is
work Tor only one person when six or
seven have been sent"
Mr. Archibald said that the practice of
sOapinS the hand OF the foreman OF su-
perintendent OF mines. for instance is
common, and most perUiciOus Foreigners,
who are willing to pay the price. get the
Jobs, and the white men, who refuse to be
mulcted, get left.

At the request of Judge lie Grande
Young Mr.. McCracken of Weber yester-
day introduced a bill in the house making
it unlawful for any person to discharge

In speaking of the measure, Judge
Young said: The promiscuous shooting
that has been going on in our neighbor-
hood has become a menace to life. In the
region about Cottonwood there are. az
perhaps you know, many game birds, and
there are no end of so-Called hunters who
come upon the land of the farmers and
others who live down that way. Our OBJ

right and left. usually killing or manning
more livestock than they do birds. That
