Tong Feuds Of the Chinese In America

tongs are not directly q part OF the
Six Companies, having been started
more In the nature of social organiza- 4
tons, but in many other cities their
province is much the same as that Of
this notorious tribunal that ruled the
Chinese Of San Francisco with an iron
hand. The highbinders are not imme-
d1ately connected with any Of these.
They are outlaws and assassins for a
price. Yet there is little doubt that the
highbinders are frequently called in to
assist in fighting the wars Of the tongs.
Resort to Daggers and Pistols. /.
1t is hardly probable that the Amer

or, rather, under the rule Of secret Or
CARNATIONS that are law unto them
selves. Constructively, at least, they
are answerable to American authority
and in the salutary case Of Boston
and a few others are actually so. But
for the most part they evade the Amer
lean courts and settle their differences,
and especially the differences Of their
organization, with the dagger and the
pistol, all Of which most completely
