TO RID COUNTRY OF ASIATIC LABORERS

League Composed of Prominent Men Formed in Washington to Fight Oriental Immigration.

WASHINGTON, Saturday, Aug. 8. -- Prominent men here have organized the national Anti-Asiatic Immigration League. In doing so they scathingly arraign the monopolistic captains of industry for importing cheap Oriental labor into the United States, and sound an ominous keynote of warning against the "yellow peril."

Former Representative S.S. Yoder was chosen president of the league. The other officers are Representative Frank Clark of Florida, Cotter T. Bride, John H. Brinkman of the Central Labor Union and Charles H. Emmons, vice-president; Attorney A.L. Thomas, secretary, and Attorney Richard P. Evans, treasurer.

All are heartily in favor of making a determined effort to rid the States of coolie labor and to exert every legitimate means to procure the passage of exclusion legislation.

The organizers plan to form branch leagues in every state of the Union and to conduct an active and relentless campaign throughout the United States until their object is accomplished. No energy or expense will be spared by the organization to prevent will be spared by the organization to prevent the immigration of Japanese and Chinese into this country. They do not plan to take any steps against Celestials who are lawfully in the United States, but state that the principal object is to "abolish and not minimize the evil."
