IHTATIiOr COOLIE LABOR JORDAN URGES The Importation of Chinese coolies for a stipulated and limited perlqd in order to tide over the present serious shortage in common labor on the farms of the western states is advo cated by Frank Jordan, secretary of state tor California, who was in Salem yesterday paying' his respects to mem bers of Oregon's official family. . . - "California, the state that has taken the foremost, stand in opposition to land ownership and leases by Orientals is seriously considering the advocacy of the importation of Chinese labor by the United States in order to solve the farmers' problem of production and thus reduce the cost of living," de clared Jordan. "I have tallied with farmers and grangers throughout California. I have talked with labor leaders and explain ed this plan. Kverywhere I at first expected brickbats..- Instead I was .universally greeted -with approval. , "This an has been indorsed as the best, way To keep the ownership of land in the hands of white men, to Increase the production of the food we sorelj need in greater quantities than the farmer Is now able to produce and to lower the cost of living in the cities. "There is an acute shortage of men ial farm work, so that the production of foodstuffs and raw materials is lim ited. There is now only one way by which unskilled labor can be secured and that is by taking down the bars of the exclusion act, and permitting, tin ' der governmental regulation for a per iod and under occupational restrictions the imnortatlon of the redulred num ber of reliable, industrious Chinese farmers to the Pacific coast "I would not favor bringing in un skilled labor to compete with skilled labor, but white men cannot be obtain ed to work on the farms. "I believe the people of the west ern states the farmers, frultmen, busl ness men realize that it is for the eood of all that Chinese be brought In Let It be understood that such iinpovt- ' ed labor shall be confined to do the ', rough work incident to agricultural 'pursuits, menial work and that it is not permitted to compete with skilled labor or in any way to lower the Amer lean standard of living." . Jordan stated that he was a. fighter ' for union labor, and that he found r ganized labor was largely in favor of this .plan,., including the president of -the California Federation of Labor, so long as efficient government regulation could be obtained. He said he had been in politics for 25 years and had his ear "close to the ground," so that he believed he repre- M;intm Mivuitiiviy .nits eriiuiuoiii ui Cal ifornia. ' State House Briefs.

Jess Willard hasn't had enough.- He wants to "come back,'! according to Tex Rich ard, who set the stage for the down fall of the big Kansan last July. Rickard last night uncovered for scrutiny in a small pile of letters and telegrams from Willard and his for mer manager, Bay Archer, a plea for an early meeting to talk over another bid for the heavyweight honors. Wil lard did not refer to a return match with Dempsey and an intimation that he would be willing to fight his way up to another match convinced Klck ard of his sincerity. "Fred Fulton is coming back and if Willard wants another chance he might arrange a match with him. I don't know that I would be willing to stage the bout, but I believe it would be a go," Rickard said. Rickard said the former champion is in training now. He also partially verified the report that he would handle the affairs of Joe Beckett, the British champion if he comes to Am erica after his fight with Georges Car- pentier early in December.
