CHINESE LABOR FOR The PHILIPPINES

Z Word comes from Washington that the Chi
nese minister to Washington, Chang Yin Tang,
has advised his government at Picking that a
plan is on foot to raise the Chinese exclusion
law so far as the Philippine Island are con.
cerned. A bill to this effect is said to have been
prepared by prominent Congressman for In
trsduction at the present session. The object of
the movement is to furnish the Philippines with
labor so necessary to the development of agri-
culture, according to news dispatch sent out
from Peking.
This report ought to prove interesting to Ha-
waiian planters who are now bringing Filipinos
here in large numbers for plantation work 1t
appears as though some of the Philippine inter
ests much prefer the Chinese. At any rate, there
will be warm little fight in Congress should
