CHINESE ENTER FLORIDA REGION). =: Organized Bands Charged With Smuggling TAMPA, Fia., July 14. — Chinese are being smuggled into the United States on a large scale by way of Cuba and Florida. Unless prompt action is taken by authorities at Washington, condi tions will soon be as bad here as they were on the Mexican border, where it took five years to stamp it out. These are the statements of Imm! gration Inspector Whalen of this dis- |trict, in whose territory much of th smuggling has been going on. He has asked for aid “We have learned that within the past few months almost 75,000 Chi nese have been landed in Cuba,” says Whalen. “According to the state- ments we got from some of the smuggling parties that we have rounded up, these Chinese remain in| |Cuba only long enough to make ar: |rangements with the smugglers to be landed on the Florida coast. “The tact that all the Chinese who lhave been arrested in this vicinity} are plentifully supplied with money and are able to obtain unlimited funds to defray court expenses indi- cates that there is a well-organized | smuggling combine at work.” The latest arrests in the smug: gling war were in Charleston, 8. C where four Chinese were picked up, with raflroad tickets from Clear a Fla, a short distance from | to Washington, D, C. Six |more were arrested the same day at |Duneden, Fla, also near Tampa. \These six were taken when they | tried to buy railroad tickets to Wash-| ington. They were escorted by a Chinese who had taken out natura j ization paper nis Man wag later released on ball. |N. Y. Sugar and Coffee They it droped to 7 Chandle year at (8%.

ATTACKS SEATTLE PUBLICATION An attack on the management of the Seattle Union Record was made Thursday morning by Phil Pearl, representing a committee of the Se- atte Central Labor council, which investigated the paper, Pearl accused E. B. Ault, editor of the paper, with investing part of his $60 a week salary in capitalistic en- terprises, “to open the doors of affiu- ence to himself.” Pearl said em- ployes on the paper had wild they did not take their work seriously, He charged that the management was lax im collesting bills, It sat a; the press table and heard Peart say the investigating commitce had suggested that Ault be dismissed from the pa- per. Pearl's attack followed a report of | federation committee, in which the management of the Union Record was exonerated and the suggestion made that the paper's stock be sold to labor organizations thruout the | state, instead of being exclusively jopetretien by the Central Labor coun- ell, The charges dgainst the paper were said to be due to two opposing factions in the labor council, between whom the paper, it is claimed, is made a political football.
