PETITION.

To the Honorable the Legislature of the State of California:

The petition of the undersigned, who are unemployed laborers seeking employment in the Labor Exchange of San Francisco without finding any, humbly represent to your honorable body

That, by reason of the extreme low rate of wages which Chinamen accept for their labor, petitioners cannot get employment.

That petitioners are citizens of the United States of America, and have been hitherto accustomed to find employment readily.

That every branch of employment seems curtailed and diminished by the competition of Chinamen, whose mode and standard of living are so greatly below that which the petitioners have been accustomed to that they look upon the fate of white laborers, if there be no remedy offered, as utterly degraded.

Petitioners do not presume to argue the injury to every interest of this State and neighboring States which will follow the destruction and dispersion of the white laborers and their families.

They simply inform your honorable body that they are idle-driven from the field of honest labor by a strange race, who have no ideas, interests or sympathies in common with us.

In conclusion, we pray your honorable body to adopt some measures for the total exclusion of the Chinese race from our State.
