LABOR'S SINGLE-HANDED FIGHT

cessity for coolie labor and that
under the terms of the United
States constitution there could be
no such condition of bondage as
that which would result from adop-
ton of H. J. Res. III, the coolie
resolution.
President Gompers concluded his
testimony with an emphatic declar-
alton against the resolution, based
upon the principles involved dur
ing which he said:
81 call your attention to the
fact that it is not wise to take the
heart and the spirit out of Amer
ica's workers. 1t is not wise to
lead them into a position of fear
anguish and anger where no loyal
support comes, because no volun-
tarv, loyal support comes to a gov
eminent that uses oppression and
suppression.
eve appeal to you, as we have
the right as men and as citizens
to maintain the American policy of
Chinese exclusion by law and tc
make by law the exclusion of the
Japanese and all other orientals
In my opinion the people of the
republic of the United States have
only Just entered upon the rea
mission of our republic, to be the
leader in industrial progress, in
democratic government and human
itarian ideals. Do not let us de.
part from that policy, sound, good
and progressive, but, rather
strengthen it."
Congressman John L. Gable, of
Ohio, member of the committee on
immigration, compiled the laws that
would be destroyed if the coolie
resolution is adopted, including the
constitutional provision which pro-
hibits involuntary servitude except
as punishment for crime.
The Ohio lawmakers showed that
in specific instances United States
statute law designed to prevent
peonage, to restrict Oriental immi-
grafton, to eradicate slavery, to pro-
hibit contract labor, to exclude
Chinese from Hawaii, and in gen
eral to safeguard the rights and
freedom of men from the imposi-
ton of involuntary serviture, would
be nulified by the proposed coolie
resolution.
This tabulation sustained state
ments made by President Gompers
and corroborated his declarations or
the specific point that to enact the
proposed resolution would reverse
the policy which the American gov.
eminent has maintained during AZ
years.
The house committee on immi
grafton has not announced it's inten.
ton regarding future hearings, but
it is understood that hearings are
planned by the senate committee
on immigration.
