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-

Willard Would
Return to Ring
Rickard States
By Henry Ii. FarreU
(United Press staff correspondent)
New York, Nov. 20. 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.
