As We Expected.

By Editor

WHEN the warfare against the Chinese commenced in California, we expressed the opinion that it would work favorably to the railroads, as it would enable them to hire Chinamen at their own prices. The following is clipped from a recent report in a San Francisco daily of railroad work in a certain part of this State:—

"The railroad force [2,000 men] comprises mostly Chinamen, only 250 white men being employed. Work, however, is given to all white men desirous of working for a dollar a day and board. The driving away of Chinamen from various sections enables the railroad company to secure plenty of Chinese laborers at cheapest rates."
