Stocks Lose Up 10 81
In One Of. Sharpest-.
Settacks Of Year
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Mar. IA declin-
ing stock market picked up speed
on the way down today.
Losses piled up to an extreme
of around 2 points in one of the
sharpest setbacks of the year.
Steels, motors, rails and air.
craft stocks were singled out by
selling forces.
Trading ran along at a good
clip with business expanding when
selling increased.
Brokers looked on the relapse
as a reaction from the 3h-year
high established early yesterday.
The Monday morning advance,
which conceded with the return
to work of the coal miners, imme-
diately attracted profit-taking
sales and at the finish the price
level was curving downward.
Selling in advance of the March
IS tax deadline was also men,
toned as a factor.
In the case of aircraft stocks,
traders displayed considerable
nervousness because of the many
questions surrounding the Air
Forces plane-buying program.
Among the losers were Douglas
Aircraft, Lockheed, Boeing, Con-
solidated Vultee, United States
Steel, Bethlehem Steel, Youngs-
town Sheet, General Motors.
Chrysler, Studebaker, Santa Fe,
New York Central, Southern Pa
ciflc, Chesapeake & Ohio, Nickel

cal, American Can, Westinghouse

automatic origin: social, economic,
and religious motives must have
banded together the first Filipino
settlers, better called immigrants,
and thus the nucleus of an uncon-
scious community was formed.
More probably, the element of pa
triotic sentiment must have had a
strong influence in the formation
of an organization or organizations,
and a community spirit was thus
being fostered. Only available and
perhaps more reliable source of
information about early Filipinos
in Seattle are Filipino newspapers
published in this city from time to
time. In this short discussion, how
ever, we shall hurriedly present a
panoramic view of the growth of
the Filipino community of Seattle,
pointing out prominent events and
personalities as they come along
through the years, which might be
considered significant contributions
and achievements of those particu-
lar years.

ippine Seattle Colonist, and Loren
20 L. Zamora, now with the Philip
pine consulate in Chicago, was the
first editor.
Filipino Contractors
1t was also in the early twenties
that the growth of Filipino bust
ness enterprises was noticed. After
the establishment of the L.V.M.,
Inc, other Filipinos of no mean
business ability started to found
other business establishments.
Among these were the Manila Cor
poration and the Philippine East
ern Trading Co., which were also
designed to go into Alaska cannery
contracting business and to meet
the other needs of the Filipino
community. The Manila Corpora
ton flourished under the presi-
dency of Pho De Cano. At the same
time the number of Filipino can
merry contractors and sub-contrac-
tors rapidly increased. The con-
tracing business was more than
lucrative. Among the more promi-
nent Filipino contractors of this
time were the late Valeriano N.
Lalgo, the late Emiliano Sibonga.
Vicente Agot, Pedro Santos, and
others. Filipino restaurants, barber
shops, even dry goods stores, were
established. A real Filipino COM
munity was in the making and was
progressing rapidly. That was be-
fore the boom year of 1929.

president of the L.V.M., Inc, and
later worshipful master of Burgos
Lodge No. 10, C.D.A. To oldtimers
in this city, his name is a synonym
of Filipino business initiative and
resourcefulness..
Social Life
The social and religious aspect of
community life was not lacking in
leadership. Catholic in training and
tradition, the early Filipinos in
Seattle got together and formed
the first Filipino Catholic Club
under the guidance and supervision
of Mr.. L. ]. FISHERMAN, a Seattle
attorney who was very much in
terested in the welfare of our peo-
pie here. Under his advisorship,
the first Filipino clubhouse was
established in Seattle in the early
twenties to house working Filipinos
and Filipino students attending
high schools and colleges in the
city. From the group that was
identified with this first Filipino
Catholic Club may be mentioned
the name of Dr. Jacinta Acena, now
a practising physician in Baguio,
and Professor Victoria C. Edades,
now with the faculty of the Uni
versity of Sto. Tomas in Manila.
Not only the spiritual needs of
the Filipinos were met by the
Catholic Club. Their social life was
also being fostered. Weekly meet
ings were held and the celebrations
of Filipino national holidays were
not neglected. In these latter
events, various Filipino organiza-
lions worked together for their sue
cess. A community spirit was real
ly being cultivated and fostered.
Filipino Students
Filipino students at the Univer-
sity of Washington, who were so
many then, formed their own Fill
Pine Club. Young ambitious, full
of stamina and the fiery ambition
of youth, these boys even at
tempted to run their own club
house, apart from the Filipino
Catholic clubhouse. Under the
guidance of Mrs. Jane CARROT, ar
American lady who was a retired
University teacher, the first Fill
pino students clubhouse was estab-
lished in 1925 a few blocks from
the University of Washington cam
pus. Inter-racial meetings and {
sympathetic understanding of ma.
tional and international problem!
was encouraged. Speakers of vari.
Gus nationalities were invited Il
dinner and chatted informally will
clubhouse members. Filipino tai.
ents were exhibited in weekly pro.
grams and tea meetings.

This, then, was the Filipino COM
munity of Seattle in the early
twenties: A group of thousands of
Filipinos, many of whom were at
tending schools and colleges. a
community with a bi-weekly news
paper, with barber shops, pool
halls, restaurants, hotels, and en-
ployment agencies. The late Va

Filipino grocery in town. The COM

First Filipino Newspaper

At about this time Manuel S.
Rustia, then commercial attache of
the Philippine government in Seat
tie, sponsored a Filipino publica-
ton to look after the interests of
the fast-growing Filipino commun-
ity. Filipino students of Journalistic
bent found a good workshop for
their itching fingers. Under the
name of Philippine Seattle Colon
ist," this first Filipino publication
in Seattle was issued twice month
in half a dozen mimeographed
sheets. 1t waxed eloquent on po-
litical independence for the Philip
pines and was militant in the de-
tense Of Filipino rights in the
United States. Victoria c. Edades,
now professor of painting at the
University of Sto. Tomas in Manila,
was the first cartoonist of the Phil
ippine Seattle Colonist, and Loren
20 L. Zamora, now with the Philip
pine consulate in Chicago, was the
first editor.

Early Business Ventures

This spirit of Filipino community
consciousness found its first signal
manifestation when early Filipino
pioneers of Seattle established the
I.uzon-Visayan-Mind Corpor-
alton, which dealt in business of
huge proportions. The L.V.M., Inc,
established an employment agency
for the thousands of Filipinos who
had come and were coming in, ran
hotel for these migrant workers
and students and on the side had a

restaurant, a pool hall, barber shop
and even conducted an agency for
the steamship companies. Its great
est service was in securing sub
contract for the various Alaskan
canneries in order to give employ
ment to the many thousands of
Filipinos who were fast coming to
this country through Seattle. Out
standing Filipino of that time was
the late Valeriano N. Sarusal,
president of the L.VM., Inc, and
later worshipful master of Burgos

Labor Immigrants

The first Filipinos in Seattle
came as labor hands in the Alaskan
canneries and in the railroad gangs
and farms of the Northwest. The
opportunities and demand for ORR
entail help in these places accepted
the Filipinos easily into big Ameri-
can cities where employment Of
fees weer located. Thus, Seattle
came to be the Mecca for hundreds
and later thousands of Filipino
laborers in quest of fortune and
adventure. The Filipino labor pop
ulation of Hawaii in the early
twenties began to move into the
United States and many of them
trekked to the Northwest, settling
in Seattle and other cities of
Washington. Added to this were
the hundreds of Filipino students
who came from time to time to the
United States for further study,
many of whom found Seattle more
suitable to their educational and
employment problems and finally
resolved to stay here. A wave of
student migration started immedi-
ately after the close of World War
I, and had its crest in the later
twenties, swelling the small Fill
Pine communities found along the
Pacific Coast states. By its strategic
position, from the standpoint of
employment and educational OPP
portunities, and as port of de-
barkation, Seattle came to have the
largest Filipino community and
Filipino spirit was famed to its
full glow.

played with dazzling virtuosity

dealt with only by a master such
