Keeping American Flag on Pacific
Means Flying It For Coolie Labor
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.. Aug.
25.—The Chinese coolie has been
driven from the decks of so-called
American merchant ships on the
Pacific mi,in
And when the coolies were
forced out there was no "Ameri
canism" left.

THE PREVAILING WHITE
MAN'S WAOE.
The Pacific Muil Steamship Co.
and the Dollar Steamship Co., the
only carriers operating under the
Ktars and strlpee from this to
Oriental portß, have quit. The
reason assigned is the La Folletet-
Furuseth seamen's act Which
compels compliance with Ameri
can wage standards from all ves
sels entering our portß.
Both employed Chinese aea
men exclusively in their trans-
Pacific service.

YAKIMA GIRL MAKES HER FORTUNE AS
BANKER FOR MINERS IN NOME, ALASKA
When Margaret ("Peggy") i
Mulrooney, at 19, returned to San i
Francisco from a Paris boarding
school she said to her sister, the I
Countees Carboneau, "I have seen i
Europe, and It was good. What i
shall we do now?"
To which the sister, not a
countesa then, replied: "Let's
make our fortunes." i
In Alaska they established a i
bank, with the elder slater M
president and Miss " Peggy" aa i
cashier and secretary. Thsir bank I
was at Nome City. i
Miners brought their pokes of
PAGE THREE
gold dust and nuggets. Handsome
commigßlona were paid, anil tt«,
bank flourished. During the win*
ter when mining was at a stand
still the sisters loaned out money
at regular Alaska banking Inter-'
eat.
"It sure was easy money," said
Miss Peggy Mulrooney, wbo watt
here recently on a visit from tb«
north. "After making our 'itak*'
fa Alaska we bought an appl«
ranch at North Ttftinu. Aftd that,
too, la almost as good as • par*
streak In Alaska."
She is not y»t 80.
