Chinese Workers Not Needed.

4
The American Federation Of Labor
will oppose the passage of the resOlu-|
ton introduced In the senate by Sem
ator Gallinger providing for the ad-
mission of Chinese farmers to supply
the labor deficiency for the period of
the war. The argument presented byl
the federation Is that there Is no Short
age Of labor In the United States, andI
that If shortage does actually exist inI
any particular district the trouble isl
due to inequalities In the distribution|
Of labor. 1t Is the position Of the fed-I
GRAFTON that redlstributing will fill all
shortages
1t is explained on behalf Of the Chi
nese government that farmers sufii-|
Client to fill all needs would be sent
over If the Picking government were|
satisfied that they could come without
causing friction here. It has been the!
attitude Of the Chinese government tol
wait the pleasure Of the people Of the
United States, therefore, before max
Ing any move. No overtures looking|
to the sending of laborers or farmers|
have been made by Picking or the lega-
ton at Washington.
The greatest demand for the impor-
tation of Chinese farmers comes from
California, where a great shortage of
labor is anticipated. Another phase
of the problem of labor anticipated in|
the production Of foodstuffs on United
States farms In 1918 will be 40 per-
cent greater than that Of this year.
according to official estimate. The
farmers had difficulty In harvesting
their crops last year because Of labor
