PROTEST AGAINST CHINESE LABOR.
Received September 27, 1.10 a.m.
Melboukne, September 26.
In the Federal House Mr Crouch, of Victoria, called attention to the action of the mine-owners in South Africa in proposing to import Chinese coolies to work in the mines to the detriment of white labor. He demanded that the Commonwealth Government should enter a vigorous protest.
Mr Deakin, in reply, said it was not a matter for the Government. Australians were not inclined to tolerate interference in its own affairs. If the Government interfered it. would be liablo to receive a mortifying rebuff. At the same time he declared that the mine-owners were selfish men and had
no patriotism.
