My colleague would not have asked that question if he had given this subject as careful investigation as I have tried to do. These coolies do not regard our system of laws except for the purpose of evading them. They bring with them to this country a system of laws of their own. and they enforce among themselves these contracts and their own laws. so much so that. according to the sworn testimony in this examination. men are hired to assassinate those who dare violate their contracts. and when prdsecnted in our courts are protected bythe rankest perjury of men who dare not testify to the truth.
Identified stereotypes
Chinese immigrants do not respect our laws and have their own system of laws, enforcing contracts through violence and perjury.
