Matter of Pools and Chinese
Labor Considered in En
glish Parliament
London, Marrh SI. In the house of
common Tuesday Premier Campbell
llonnerman said he declined to embark
in a erutada against "hop pools" in
America or elsewhere. A member asked
for information about an alloged peel
formed by a hop exporter of Whoatlnnd,
Cul., and employment of Chinese ooel
lea by Oregon bop grewors, and ex
pressed the hope that the lirltlsh gov
ernment would' take steps to prevent
the pool from destroying the British
hop industry.
The premier said he had no Informa
tion regarding the peel referred to, and
added that he bad been informed that
Chinese labor was net largely employed
by the Oregon hop growers, nnd ho had
no reason to aupjtesc that whore it was
emjdoyed was under other than freo
conditions. The premier, therefore, de
clined to take any- action In the matter.
fan, Francisco, March II. The at
tempt recently made 'to form a pool of
California hop growers was not a sue
com, and tho crop Is being marketed by
tho growers, noting independently.
Many Chinese are employed la the hop
field, on account of the scarce ly of
wbHo help, but It h said they command
fair wages.
On March 7th, last, M. H. Durst, a
well-known grower, presented a prepo
sition for a formation of a hop oet to
a convention hold in Santa lloea under
tho auspices of the Sonoma County
Hop Growers' Hxchange. He mado nn
offer for SOOO bales of tho old crop, to
which ho proposed to add SOOO bales ebJ
talned elsewhere, lie proposed to h
ee of this stock in London at mar
ket prices, and, after deducting ex
penses and Interest, to divide the pro
oeeds among the growers, the object
being to dispose of the surplus before
the new crop was ready for sale.
A committee was formed) to obtain
signatures to the pooling agreement,
but oa March lAth, when the time lim
it expired, only about MO bales had
been signed for, and the attempt to or
ganise a combination was abandoned.
The hop crop of Oregon for IPO
amounted to UJ,$0 bale, of which
11,090 bake remain uuceld. It Is or
timated that lSo.000 to 140.000 bales
will be parked this

Chattanooga, Teun March ' SI. A
squad of lacs than 100 polwemea
backed by four companies of militia
last night hold in chock a large crowd
of negroes, variously estimated at from
SOOO to 400 In number. d prevented
a riot which might have resulted In a
groat loss of life. The negroes were
bent on revenge for the lynching wet

With the ftxeeptiea of a small foul-'
lade of sbota en Kait Ninth street near
the Intersection of A, in which two
white men were shot and the burning
of a house en West Ninth street, ttore

The injured) are: John Curtis, a rail
way man, shot in shoulder by unknown

in band by unknown negro.
The officers are satisfied with the sit
uation here tonight and it is believed

trouble, but it is feared that some out
break may occur after that.

plants in tho elty wore closed because
of the refusal of the negroes to work,
and by night they were forming lata
parties, whleh the officers broke up as
fast as possible.
