$1500 IS CONTRIBUTED
House Immigration Committee Is
Told Donations of 'Whites Are
Less Than Orientals.
WASHINGTON', D. C. Aug. 2. Rep
resentatives of organized labor in
Hawaii sent here to oppose legisla
tion under which Chinese coolies
could be admitted to Hawaii to help
relieve the agricultural labor short
age, testified before the house immi
gration committee today that their
expenses had been paid by Japanese.
Wilmot Chilton, who came here
with George Wright, president of the
central labor union of Honolulu, when
questioned by Representative Free,
republican, California, declared Japa
nese merchants on the island had con
tributed $1500 so that they might per
sonally oppose admission of Chinese
and that he had split it "fifty-fifty"
with Wright.
BualneM Control Chars'd.
Samuel Gompers. president of the
American Federation of Labor, was
present when Mr. Free developed that
the Japanese Chamber of Commerce
of Honolulu, acting on a request for
helo. decided it would be "unwise
for the organization to contribute, but
that individual members could do so
Earlier Mr. Gompers told the commit.
tee that the federation, with which
the central labor union of Honolulu
is affiliated, would not issue union
charters requested by Japanese labor
groups in this country.
Throughout the hearings on pend
ing relief legislation, spokesmen for
the sugar planters of Hawaii have
asserted that the Japanese gradually
were gaining business control of the
island, and that they were secretly
opposing temporary lifting of Ameri
can immigration laws which would
permit a flow of labor needed to meet
the shortage in time to save future
crops.
Control Held Japan's Aim.
Delegate Kalanlanole, sponsor of
the bill before the committee, declared
tonight that control of Hawaii had
been Japan's objective for many years.
Failure of congress to waive re
strictive immigration for Hawaii, he
declared, will mean that the Japanese
forthwith will state publicly that the
United States is "afraid to exclude
Japanese, afraid to admit Chinese.'
In a. statement tonight, Mr. Gom
pers declared the proposed legislation
which would make possible importa
Hon by sugar planters of Hawaii of
approximately 50,000 Chinese coolies
in "bond" was a proposal "brought
forward for thebenefit of great cor
porations, and for the exploitation of
humanity.
"The American people," he said.
"ought to rise in overwhelming pro
test and resentment against this in
iquitous proposal."
Act la Called Shameful.
"It Is," he added, "an act of shame
and disgrace for any American to ad
vocate peonage, bond labor, slave la
bor, anywhere under the American
flag."
"Members of the committee, notably
Congressman Shaw of Illinois, Con
gressman Free of California, and
Chairman Johnson of the committee,
have sought to turn the hearing into
a. debate over the Japanese question.
"There is before the people, of the
United States a grave issue. Let not
the fact that this immediate resolu
tion applies only to Hawaii mislead
anyone. It has been shown to my sat
lsfaction that Hawaiian sugar plant
ers have urged American sugar grow
ers to keep silent about this measure
because if coolies in peonage can be
secured for Hawaii now they may
later be had for American planters on
the mainland.
