us, she will say in effect to keep our
coolies out of California when Cali
fornia herself, through the medium of
an official inquiry, asks for their ad-
mission and confesses that she cannot
do without them?
The fact remains. however. that op-
position to japanese immigration will
continue as determined as ever, with all
its noise and intimidation, and with a
better organization. And the legisua-
ture Will be fully as amenable as before
to the Establishments and the threats of
a labor unionism that is more aggres-
siVe than elsewhere In the country San
Francisco is opposed to Japanese immi-
grafton for the simple reason that the
japanese workman in that city is in
direct competition with the white man,
while elsewhere he Is his very obedient
and humble servant, doing necessary
work that no one else will do. Los An
geles is comparatively Indifferent to her
own Japanese, and is inclined to make
light of the complaints Of her great ri
val. In San Francisco the Japanese is
a laundryman, a boot and shoe repairer,
a house cleaner, a janitor, and an ele-
vator attendant. He does the work that
the white man wants to do and he does
it not only cheaply, but with unvarying
and smiling good temper He will join
DO labor union. and the only evident
rule in his own organization is that the
white man must be underbid at any
cost. That is the reason why the labor
unions demand that he be expelled, bag
and baggage.
But what will happen IL the report of
the labor bureau stimulates organized
labor to further efforts? What will
happen If the Washington authorities
should show any of their former dispo-
sltion to advance somewhat more than
half way to meet Japan? That the
San Francisco labor unions will acqui-
esce in the views of their bucolic neigh
bors is unthinkable; and their infiu-
ence upon the legislature will be as
great as ever. Consolidation of anti
Japanese sentiment in San Francisco
has progressed steadily during the last
few years. and with a direct view to
the approaching session of the legisla-
ture. 1t is the intention to revive all
of the measures that were postponed
before. and no art of the agitator and
the politician will be spared TO pass
them. Thus, instead of pacffying the
anti-Japanese feeling, the report of the
labor bureau may inflame 1t. 1t is to
he feared, therefore, that we are on
the eve of another period of agitation,
unwholesome to California and not
without its peril to our international
relations.

GIVES FIGURES ON FOREIGN
ELECTRIC POWER AND LIGHT

Editor Herald: So much interest is
being aroused now by the broadcast
literature of the lighting companies
that the following figures taken from
Garcke's Manual of Electric Undertake
ings are of interest as showing how
our British cousins do things.
In London the thirteen private cleo
trio lighting companies charged in
1904 115 cents a unit more than the
municipal plants charged and the pri-
vate companies that year made net
profits of $3,294,170. In the provinces
the municipalities charged 1la cents
unit less than the private companies.
Thus the municipal customers saved
nearly $4,000, 900, notwithstanding which
the municipalities made Ia per cent
more in gross profits than the high
priced private companies. Liverpool
paid a private company $2000,000 for
the electric plant which had cost the
private company $1,250000. That is to
say, the municipality had to earn in
terest and pay contributions to sink
ing fund on a dead weight of $3.50 900.
The company charged Is cents for
lighting and 10 cents per unit for
power
In spite of their heavy burden the
city of Liverpool has gradually reduced
the charges to IA cents per unit for
private light, cents for public light
and cents and cents for power. ac-
cordng to the quantity used. Under
municipal management the prices are
so per cent less than the private COM
pany charged
The city of Leeds paid $1,S40,0o0 for
a privately owned electric plant, giving
the shareholders $3.50 for every $500 in
vested. The city reduced prices at
once and in two years made a cash net
profit of sS1,740 which went into the
general fund and reduced taxes to that
extent. l. II. RHCKMAN.
