AT HIS OWN GAME The Way Labor Union Men Will Beat the Chinamen. WILL START A LAUNDRY Meeting of Workingmen to Denounce Chinese Immigration Takes Up a Scheme to Open 8 Co-operative Laundry—Another Meeting Called. The preliminary steps to the es- tablishment of a co-operative laun- dry were taken last evening at a meeting at Miners’ Union hall, which had been called to consider the question of Chinese labor. J McLaren, president of the Trades and Labor council, presided, About goo men were present and listened attentively to several speeches, but half of the audience had left before the promoters of the scheme got down to business. James Devine, secretary of the Miners’ Union, spoke of the evil ef- fects of Chinese labor in reducing wages, degrading labor and as a re- sult reduced the profits of the busi- ness men He reviewed the con- dition of labor from early times, the growth of labor unions and the good they had accomplished. In answer to those who condemned workingmen for discontent, he con- tended that every step of human progress and every invention was due to such discontent. Chris Foley appeared as an ad- vocate of co-operation and humor- ously spoke of his own marriage as a co-operative partnership. He discussed the relative merits of so- cialism and individualism in favor of the former and then went into the Chinese question. He con- demned Chinese immigration as the greatest evil threatening this coun- try and traced its course from the first importation of Chinese labor to build the Pacific railroads. He id they had petitioned the Do- minion government on the subject in vain, and the Dominion govern- ment bad annulled provincial legis- lation at the instigation of Mr. Chamberlain. The Dunsmuirs were trying to compel the government to repeal the laws prohibiting China- men from working in the mines. From the way in which the Chinese in California invaded the fields of frade and manufactures, he showed how merchants were also interested in this movement for a co-operative laundry. If they could make it a success, they would put astopto the incoming of China- men. D. D. Birks, as a business man, argued in favor of co-operation, saying it was the only solution of the difficulties between capital and labor. Every man in the commun- ity ought to participate in the wealth of the mines on the hill and went on to say that wealth was not properly distributed. He did not advocate an equal distribution of wealth, but that it should be made the property of the community. He hoped they would insist that municipal tran- chises should be owned by the peo- ple. As an instance of how combi- nations of capital reduced the cost of commodities he quoted the Stan- dard Oi] company, which had yet made millions,bat attributed Rocke- feller’s fortune to the fact that there was limit to the holdings of any one man. He said that the co-opera- tive laundry should have the sup- port, not only of thousands of work- ingmen, but of business men well. T. E. Kirby urged practical work. If they were going to have a co-op- erative laundry, they must come up with the cash, get down to business and not have so much chin-music. He then urged the study of social questions and complained that the bar rooms were always full and the library empty. He read statistics of the distribution of wealth and ex- tent of poverty in Great Britain and closed by saying that trades unions were only a necessary evil and that socialism was the only true solution of the labor question. Mr. McLaren called attention to su as the profits accruing from the pro- jected enterprise and Mr. Birks in- timated that he had another propo- sition to submit on the same lines. In the end Mr. Birks was ap- pointed secretary to take the names of subscribers and put 60 on the list. They will meet at 7:30 on Saturday evening in the ante-room under Miners’ Union hall.
