Price, Post Office. :v'^'^". next order* v St. WOULD PEONIZE MEXICANS Oakland, Cal—Officers of the Cali fornia State Federation of Labor op pose the importation of Mexican la borers for temporary agricultural employmept, and then have them re turned when the harvest is over. "This will mean," the unionists say "that these workers will have to be held in peonage to prevent their es cape and their acceptance of more de sirable employment. "This plan does not differ from the scheme advocated by Hawaiian sugar planters a few years ago—namely, the right to import Chinese coolies, who would be returned to China at the ex piration of a certain period." PEACE PLANS Rejected By British Coal Owners London, England.—In a speech in the house of commons, Winston Churchill, chancellor of the exchequer, blamed coal owners for a continuous of the British mine lockout. Church ill attempted to negotiate a settle ment during the absence of Premier Baldwin on a vacation, but was block ed by owners. In the house Churchill pleaded with the miners to return to work and make district agreements. This is what the employers demand. Premier Baldwin joined Churchill in stating that the government can not coerce the owners. The labor mem mers of the house jeered this state ment and pointed to coercive methods against the miners. The entire trade union movement is resentful against the government be cause of its amendment to the min ers' seven-hour law, at the request of coal owners. The- act now permits eight-hour agreements. The enforce ment of poor laws, for centuries in charge of local authorities, has been taken o^er by the minister of health. The people pay poor taxes but in sev eral areas have no voice in the dis tribution of same. These and other aids to the coal pwners make it difficult for the gov ernment to convince trade unionists &nd sympathizers that a neutral atti tude is maintained. yo AS THE WORKER SEES H1S W0RLD Summary and Digest of Important Events of the Week, Here and Abroad Detroit churches and Y.
