Olds, Wortman & King Reliable Merchandise Reliable Methods WHITES REFUSE TO WORK; TIIE MORNING' OREGOXIAX, FRIDAY, NOVE3IBER 21, 1919. Continued Food Shortage Inevita ble Unless Bars Are Let Down, Says Frank C. Jordan. Frank C. Jordan, secretary of state ; of California, is in Oregon for the ( . purpose of sounding public opinion as to the advisability of amending . the Chinese exclusion law so that ' Chinese can be admitted to work on farms. Thus far Mr. Jordan says he j has found very little opposition to' the plan. He- declares that unless I labor, such as the Chinese, is provided j for farm work there will be a short age of food production, with increas- I ing high prices. ! Mr. Jordan's plan is to have the voters of the 11 western states me- j moriallze congress to 'permit the ad- 1 mission of selected Chinese labor for farm work and domestic service. He proposes that this Chinese labor shall be under government regulation. j I Mere is a problem confronting the farmers." says Air. Jordan, who is at the Benson, "and that is labor. In California we have very little white labor on the farms, the work being performed by Hindoos, Mexi- - cans and Japanese. American-born boys do not want to work on farms. Those who left farms and went into the army have had a taste of city life and they are not returning to the 'farms. This means reduced produc tion of food. Million of Arm Idle, "There are 75.000,000 acres in the west which could be cultivated and made to produce food. Native-born labor is not available. My plan is to bring over Chinese. It is said that organized labor will object. Why should It? Organized labor does not extend to the farms and the Chinese farmers would not be competing with organized labor. I do not want the standard of American living lowered, and U will not be lowered. The Chinese live their own lives, do not intrude on the whites and they are honest, industrious and hard workers. If the Chinese can be put to work on the farms production will be in creased, even more than doubled, and this will not only bring down the cost of living, but it will also benefit the condition of the skilled workers in the cities. There are fewer un skilled laborers in America now than formerly for the reason that during the war a great army of the un- skilled became skilled, and are there fore in position to command better pay than formerly. "It is imperative that some form of labor be found for the farms. Aliens who worked on farms have gone back home to aid in the rebuilding of Eu rope ana me new immigration laws will make it difficult for-European I cheap labor to enter this country. The ! only source of supply I can discover Is China, IMon Mtrnnglr Knpportrd. "Much to my surprise, wherever I have sounded out people they have favored the :ldea. of bringing in C hinese for farm labor, which shows that the people have been giving this labor problem thought. The people who have farms and who have had trouble getting needed help are quite willing to see Chinese on the job. Business men take the same view , point And so far as organized labor is concerned, I cannot see where it has any cause for objection, as in creased food production would help that element. In any event the Chi nese would not be coming Into com petition with organized labor. "If I find sentiment sufficiently strong I will launch a drive, and this will be in the nature of a memorial to congress. Every registered voter In the western states will receive let ters dealing with the subject, for the whole matter' is one of education Later they will receive sample ballots bo they can vote for or against the admission of Chinese for farm labor, and these will give congress, an ex pression of the people of the west. People's Views Denlred. "There should be some system of electing the Chinese to be brought . over. They should not be coolies, but farmers. They could be examined be fore being permitted to sail for our shores. Government bureaus of reg istration could handle the Chinese, so that when a farmer needs a Chinese tor certain tasks he can apply to this government bureau and be. supplied. How the Chinese should be handled is a matter of detail, which can be con sidered later. ThA main thinir nnw la to ascertain how the idea is received by the people, and that is why I am out on .a sounding expedition. Mr. Jordan has been in politics in California since he was 114 years old and has never been defeated. REED TO SEND DELEGATES Des Moines Student Conference Rally Is Spirited.
