WHERE THE WOMEN DO THE WORK..

Americans are greatly impressed in visiting
foreign countries to find out how hard foreign
women toll often shouldering more than their
just responsibilities. This is certainly true in
southern countries, where women are some
times degraded by hard and mental labor No
where is this more noticeably true than in

A New York representative had his sneer
ready when this letter read in the house.
II would like to ask the gentleman" he said.
"if Mr.. Gompers represents the Mayfower or
those who landed at Jamestown"
The truth of the matter is that the insinua
ton of the New York man that the oldtime
native American element back of the
movement to bar out iterates was baseless.
and the house knew 1t. Curiously enough,
perhaps the strongest opponents of the Hitter
acy clause in the whole land were men who
traced their descent back through the centu
ries to those first immigrants who founded
the nation in America. These men, while
holding that 1t was the part of wisdom to
keep out the criminals and the paupers of
Europe, held also that it was un-American to
bar a man because he could neither read nor
write.
The bigotry charge was used solely because
it is an ugly charge and because it hurts.
No man, even though he is as broad the
sea in his views, clear himself of
suspicion when the accusation is made
1t is not hard, therefore. to understand why
the men who are opposed to the immigration
bill used the weapon that they had in hand.
1t may. however prove useless to them an
other occasion.

Plantation Strike on Ha-

the Critical Point.
APPEAL is MADE
TO AMBASSADOR
Both Sides of the Controversy
Are in an Ugly
Mood.

HONOLULU, June 16.-The strike OF
the japanese laborers in the Hawaiian
Islands has reached a critical point and
further trouble is feared.
The planters are endeavoring to de-
moralize the strike leaders by numerous
arrests. and the leaders are said to
have promised their followers that the
japanese warships Azo and Sayo, which
are due here June 25. will overawe the
Americans and support the working
men.
The laborers now on strike number
$500. Though there have been no yreas
disorders so far, both sides are in an
ugly mood.

OF the japanese higher wage organiza-
ton has sent a message to Ambassador

AMERICAN ENGINEER
EMPLOYED BY CHINA
Stewart to Supervise I'm
provemeEt of the Pai-ho
River.

The State Department was informed
today that the Chinese government had
decided to appoint ". p. Stewart, a
civil engineer connected with the United
states engineers office at Memphis, TO
be assistant engineer of the Hai-ho
conservancy board at Tientsin, which
is engaged in improving the Pai-ho
river, connecting the city with the sea.
This is considered another favorable
step in the promotion OF American en-
terprtse i'm China. II is assumed that
the appointment will bring about the
recommendation of the purchase of Am
erican material for construction work.
The board already is favorably dis
posed toward American machinery.
The Improvement of the river is a
work OF great Importance affecting both
Chinese anG foreign commercial inter
ests. Tientsin is the port for Peking
but Is situated about fifty miles from
the sea and the water approaches at
present are very unsatisfactory.
