NEW ,YORK.-The Chinese crew
of the President johnson has sent a
letter to Marine Workers Industrial
Union, the International Labor De-
Tense and Chinese Workers Club here
which, by united action and through
demonstrations in San Francisco and
legal action here forced the Dollar
line to promise to send the seamen
home. Nine-five Chinese were dis

Mistreatment Brings Resistance
The letter just received from the

on them, and also clears up the facts
in regard to the ship. They are the
crew of the President Johnson, but
are being shipped on the President

is the letter.

Kinley, the steward tried to force us
to paint the G. Deck-Working as
partnerships occurred on Oct, J.,
II am. We all know that this is
not our duty. This act on his part
is maltreatment. Therefore, we all
acted as one man, resisted. Because
we were workers on President john

transferred to China on the Pres.
Mckinley, and we are passengers, not
the crew on board ship; furthermore,
we did not sign up as painters, know
nothing of this kind of work, and on
these grounds we refused.
Later, the steward got the captain
to act. The captain did not ask any
question of us, and ordered the Off
GERS, sailors-tWenty in number to
face us. At the very start, he tried
to divide our ranks, ordered those
from the johnson to stand In one
place, those from jackson in one, and
those from the Pierce another. We
all answered in one voice: Now we
are no longer the crews of those ships
but the crew of the Johnson We

Conn. to visit his brother William Foulois and family over the weekend. It is ex- pected that he will return to this city on. Saturday afternoon to view the parade from the city hall re- viewing stand.

 air corps of the, army. He did much experimental work at the risk Of life and limb and was responsible for a number, of inventions that
 have made flying safe and practic- able.
 When the United States entered the World war General Foulois
 held the rank of major. He was quickly promoted to the grade or brigadier-general of signal corps. temporarily. He was sent to Franc and held one of the most import ant and responsible air corps as-
 signments in the A. E. F. His work in this capacity earned for him the
 army's distinguished service med al. After the war when the army was reorganized General Foulois reverted to the rank of lieutenant colonel air corps.
