It has not been my intention to ask a hearing upon this subject. already so ably and thoroughly debated. I am. however. in receipt of a request from the workiugmen of my district to express their opposition to Chinese immigration and their sympathy with brother workmen on the Pacific slope. At a convention of representatives of operatives from the collieries in my district. held at Pittston on Saturday. their views were expressed in the following telegram: PITTSTON. PENNSYLVANIA. Mech 18. We. the representatives of the miners and laborers of the Luzerno and Lackwanna coal regions of Pennsylvania. assembled at Pittston this 18th day of March. 1882. do resolve that we heartily cooperato with our brother workmen on the Pacific slope in restricting the immigration of Chinese labor to our shores. and as constituents of Hen.
