relations with China will be greatly
further by abrogating the Canadian
agreement and dealing directly with
Chinese immigrants at our own wa
ter ports" they say. "And most cer-
tainly, too, will this course greatly
minimize the smuggling of contra
band Chinese across the border from
Canada.
I'VE only ask the government to do
the same patriotic thing for America
that the Canadian government now
does for Canadians, through its own
immigration policy"
The special commissioners, who will
report to Washington, expressed the
fear that any meddling with Chinese
agreements now might seriously dis
turb the entire immigration fabric ex-
isting between the United States and
China.

Seattle, Dec. 16.-The Chinese i'm
migrant has become the pawn in
commercial battle royal between the
great transportation corporations of
the United States and Canada
This city is now the arena of ac-
ton.
At present the Canadian Pacific car
ries the bulk of exempt Celestials en-
tering the States in the west.
The American steamship and rail
way companies are making an organ
lied effort to divert the dollars this
represents to their own pockets. And
that means millions!
To bring this about they are seek
ing, through appeal to the United
States Department of Commerce, to
have the so-called Canadian agree
ment abrogated as far as it relates
to the Chinese question.
At the request of the State of
Washington, Secretary of Labor Will
son sent a commission composed Of
Commissioner General of immigration
Anthony Caminetti, Assistant Secre-
tary John B. Densmore and Commits
sioner James l.. Hughes of Philadel-
phia, to Seattle to hear the plea of
the railroad and steamship interests
of the Pacific. They will report to
Washington.
This international transportation
battle may result in an upheaval of
the entire immigration situation. At
least that was the fear of the spe-
cial commission if the Canadian agree
.ment should be abrogated.
While the companies Interested
frankly put their concern ON a COM
mercial basis, they believe their claims
are patriotic and that the smuggling.
of Chinese across the Canadian bor-
der would be greatly reduced, and
that the social and economic inter
ests of the United States would be
subserveG by such action as they re-
quest. They want:
To close all ports of entry along
the Canadian boundary to the admis-
sion Of exempt Chinese.
To transfer the immigration sta
tions at Vancouver and Victoria, b.
C., to Seattle, which would control
all immigration matters west of the
Rockies. Western immigration is now
controlled from Montreal.
To compel all Chinese entering the
United States to come in by one of
our national water ports.
The result of this would be to give

The most part drawn from all parts
of 10th states, the absence Of liquor
has resulted in an orderly community,
though the town is yet in It's inception.
One of the novel features Of the big
powder plant is the fact that while
1900 men are employed there, the
only regular payroll maintained by the
company is for the managers Of the
different departments. Each Of the
1900 employees is hired and discharg-
ed each day, Every night each cm-
ploye is paid for the day and his em-
ployment, insofar as the company is
concerned, is ended II he shows up
in the morning he is again hired and
put to work. This method Of handl-
ing force of 1900, while a novel
one, has been found to give the best
results at City Point.
For the most part the town looks
like big camp. Special officers are
provided by the powder company to
enforce the law and maintain order.
Offenders are punished promptly, ana
while some liquor has been conhscated
in the town, it is impossible for a man
to drink it and obtain employment
with the powder company the next day
il found out.
High explosives for the European
governments are already being turned
out at the new plant in tremendous
quantities. Carload after carload is
shipped daily to seaports, where II is.

toleune, one Of the most powerful
explosives known, and in the last few
years used in the British army and
navy, is being produced in large guam
