PA(iK S1A. THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM. OREGON. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1919. HIRE OPPOSITION TO IMPORTATION OF COOLIES REPORTED : Seattle. Wash., Nov. 24. Strong sentiment exists 'in the west In favor of letting down the bars to Chinese coolie labor, according to Frank C. Jordan, California secretary of state, who is here today. Jordan is making a tour of western cities to sound out the feeling regard ing the proposal, which Was recently ' Instituted In California, that the Chi nese exclusion act be amended so that -Chinese coolies can be admitted and allowed to work on the farms of the west. - The California secretary of state told the United Press that he has dis covered "only negligible" 'opposition to the plan. The object of the movement Is to lower the cost of living, for unless coolie labor Is secured, Jordan declares there will be a shortage of food pro duction in the west," and resultant ligher prices. The proposed Chinese coolie labor er, who would be used in domestic service, as well as work on the farm, w.ould be under government control, according to Jordan's plan. His scheme calls for the 11 western states to memorialize congress to allow the entry of selected Chinese laborers. "There is a problem confronting the farmers," said Jordan, "and that is labor. In California, we have very little white. labor on the farms, the work being' performed by Hindoos, Mexicans und Japanese. American born boys do not want to work on the farms. Those who left farms and went into the army have bad a taste of city life and are not returning to the farms. This means, reduced production of food. "There are 75,000,000 acres in the west which could be cultivated and made to produce food. Native born Jabor is not available. My plan Is to bring over Chinese. If the Chinese tan be put to work on the farms, pro duction will be Increased, even more than doubled. "It is imperative that some form of labor he found for the farms, and the only source of supply I can find is China. "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 organ teed labor is concerned I cannot, see any reason why It has cause for ob jection, as increased food production would help that element. In any event the Chinese would not be coming into competition with organized labor." residing at Silv'erton and Peter Ed ! ward Aaas, 50, Norwegian, Silverton, today signified their intention of be ; coming citizens of the United Statej when they signed 'declaration papers i at the county clerk's office.
