lives on very little food and can do almost anything just as we'll as a white worker with little experience In cement factories in Hongkong, controlled by the Emerald Isle Cement Co.,, they have been able to dispense with all white skilled labor in very short time, and it has been announced that even the cleri- cal help has been secured in the country, clever Chinese clerks, stenographers and typists doing the work just as well.
 Back off the Yangste valley in iron mines. the whites have been practically dispensed with by Ger man-Chinese operating company and the highest grade of goods turned out so well and so effici- ently that Chinese pig iron competes so successfully with all others on the Pacific Coast as to make the American manufacturers took to their laurels.
 A machine shop in Canton began turning out complicated guaging machine, consisting of thousand of mechanism, copied by the Chinese workers from a German invention and were only stopped from driving its original competitor from the market by the protection of letters patent which had been issued. There is no end to the ability of the Ori- entals. They may appear very sa- American capitalist knows full we'll that they have the material for la borrower producing humanity that they want, skilled or unskilled.
 It is no use attempting to be- little the Oriental. He is now and always will be an important factor in production throughout the world The hope of tho American worker is to end the Chinaman's docility and to enlarge his views as to the value of the labor power which he sells
 The worker is entitled to what he produces. quite regardless of the fact that he may be white or black or red or yellow of skin. Economic laws, are not affected by racial questions, and it is to the interest of all workers to remember that If the workers have made up their minds as have their employers that the last stage of economic pro- gress has been reached and that the lines between employers and em- ployed are to be eternal, then in deed they might worry at losing their jobs to Chinamen. The fact is the white worker will live any way, and the worker is the neces- sity in the scheme of things, not his nationality.
 It is however interesting to note what an elevated view these Chinese companies take of the patriotism" of American employers when they make their proposition just at this time.
