OAKLAND, CaL., July 15.—License In- sjector Malcon reports that the recent annexation is not at ail agreeable 1o the merchants of Berkeley, who are now pre- vented from carrying on business in the annexed portion.

Unfounded Statements Greatly Imperil a Growing In- dustry. Figures That Show the Result of Free Trade and Protection to Ameri- oan Industries. f The employes of tne California Cotton- mills are greatly exercized over their fa- ture prospects, They are working indi- vidually, seaing prominent people and doing all in their power to undo the harm already done them in Congress. The following letter has been sent to Senator White by Superintendent Ruth- erford of the Californis Cotton- mills Com- pany: Hon. Stephen M. White, United States Senator, Washington, D. C.—UEaR SIR: 1 am favored with your telegram of June 29 duly received, 10 which [ haye replied as follows: *“Congres- sioual Record received; your sialement en- tirely inaccurate; juteimiils I represent never empioyed Chinesé nur paid a dol.ar in wages for Chinese labor; euiirely white laborem- ployed; used over 6000 bales of raw jute nuully before the passage of Wilson bit: ually increasing. You oughtin justice to correct statement and protect vurlaps. Until the Congressional Record reached me I did not know my name and business had been 8o unfavorably reierred to in e Seuaie and of iuaccuraie siatements presented by you during the discussion of the tariff proposals on_jute-begs and burlaps. It is expected of public meu nigh in offic: that, »S they speak with authority, (helr statements wiil ‘be ree- sonably accurate and reliable, particularly so when & person not present is assailed and re- ierred to, as was the writer. I am free to ad- mit you did not willfully misrepresent any- thing, but rathe: suppose you had beet mis- informed or misunaerstood the situation here. The California Cotto: -mills Company, with which I am connected, own %oth jute and cot~ ton miil, locatea on the Oekland Bay, about midway between East Oakland and the City of Alameda. ‘Those works were erected by ine writer and his associates in 1883-84, and nhave run_continuously ever since. As relating to the jute, we were furced 10 suspend operat- ing the jule department after 1894, owing to e jute bag and burlap coming in iree—goods whicn tue Wilson bili never iniended should come in free of duty. We heve employed con- tinuously all those years none but white lnbr, mostiy ali residents of Qakiand or Ala- meda, numbering at present about 400. No Chinamen have ever been employed. nor a dollar paid 10 wages for their labor by this company. We_ pay the highest rate of wages paidin the United States for the same kind of work and have never had a sirike or trade dispute 10 disturb the good relations existing. We distribute monthiy about $10,000 in wages in ibis neighborhood. From the inclosed busi- ness card you will see the kind of goods we maunufaciure from the raw material. We nave « large and widely extended trade, our mar- ket including Alaska and British Columb; Mexico and from Utsh and Montana Idaho on the east to the Sandwicn Isiands on the west, 50 it pained us considerably to find our name and business so uniavorably terred to and held up to public ridicule in tne Senate by a Senator irom California. Those statements we kpew would be published as far and wide as the importance ot the occa- siou and speaker warranied. Some years ago we had toe honor of showing members of the Board of Siate Prison Direct- ors over our works, accompanied by the Warden and his experts. »suortly alter this we learncd u bill bad been introduced in the State Legislature calling for an appropriation to esinblish a m:ll at Folsom prison, and to manuiacture by convct labor and water- poner there the identical classof goods we made in our mill. Thisis what led us to in- terest public sentiment at that time in the matter of prison labor with a view to stop the building of such & mill, and we feel sure when you understand the question you will not find fault with the action we took. We have never seriously objected to the State prison at San Quentin meking grain bags, but then their operations should be confined tograin bags, a5 it wes established for this purpose, with a view to assist the farmers and protect them from the combinations and corners in the bag marke!, which often in earlier times oppressed them. At the same time we canuot help be- lieving that for a State to build manufacturing institutions such es tnis and mau them with convict labor is 8 menace to capital being in- vested for the same purpose by private citi- zens. The writer like many others here of all political faiths cannot understand how you can cousistently strike down snd destroy the bag and buriap trade—a long established one— by refusing it a reasonable 1ariff to enable ihe manufacturers ¢o pay 1o the wage-earners a liviug wage, while at the same time you are voting fcr a ta1iff to protect wool, fruit, borax, Taw cotton, hops, Wine, hides, leather, sugar, silk, linen, flax, and many other things :00 nume rous to mention. 1tis aliogether unjust and unfair to single out jute bags-and buriups and strike a blow to ruin them. The capital invested in these works here, which manufue- tured jute gooas from the raw material, would be simply ruined and many peoplé thrown permanently idle to join the thousands al- ready clamoring for bread. The jutemiils located at Clinton, East Oake land, many years ago, and with which I have never been connected in any way, &t one lime empioyed a good many Chinese, but for sev- eral years beck, as they improved their chinery,they have graduslly ) utaway the Chi- namen and taken in white labor and at the time they too were compelled 1o shut down, They employed fully 400 white people and about fifty Chinese. In conclusionl wish to say thatall wage- carncrs interested in the reopening of jute- mills here join me in the hope thatyou will yvet modiiy your demand for free grain bags and burlaps and give us justice; a share of protection accorded to others, and that you wili also find means and a way 10 do justice to the farming clas+, who nobody disputes are entitled to like consideration. Thanking you for the opportunity to give you an explanation and an iuvitation to visit the mills here the next time you are in Oak- land, 1 am, yours respecttully. W. RUTHERFORD. The grain-bag mak-rs have also com- piled some figures that refute Senator White's statement that ‘‘the price of grain bags this year under the influence of the 1ariff had gone up 4.9 cents to 7 cents on the Pacific Coast.” These ficures show the following con- dition of affairs: The market price for grain bags has never been more than 53 cents <his year and no quota’ions iu onreading commercial jour. na s of the P c.fic Coast have had a higher price than this. (See San Francisco Journa: of Commercs, June 3, 1897.)
