LABOR UNIONS WANT A WHITE VANCOUVER

VANCOUVER, B.C., Friday, Sept. 13. -- The proposal of white cooks and waiters in Vancouver to strike for a White Vancouver has been unanimously endorsed by the union, and unless the proprietors comply with the requests of the union there will be a general strike this week.

Although the city is comparatively quiet now and many Chinamen have returned to work, there is still grave apprehension that the scenes of the anti-Oriental riots may be repeated. The return of a good many of the foreigners to their usual occupations, instead of presaging a peaceful attitude, has the opposite effect. This is because of the marked spirit of defiance with which the Orientals have resumed their labors. They have gone back to the factories and other places because they feel they have a right to work, and they defy the whites to prevent them from doing so.

Many little incidents are continually happening in the streets of the city which show the deep-rooted animosity between the unionists and the Asiatics and the great danger of another and more bloody outbreak.
