CALIFORNIA N FRUIT INDUSTRY .
CONFERENCE OF GROWERS.
NEW YORK, December 6.
A convention of California^ fruitgrowers at Marysville (California) unanimously recommended the repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act, and urged Congress to admit a fixed-liberal number of Chinese and Japanese on the same conditions as those applying to European immigrants. The memorial declares that some industries are threatened with extinction, while there is no evidence that the States in the west have suffered from the presence of Chinese prior to their exclusion.
Mr John Irish (journalist) declared that the real peril to the country was immigration from southern and south-eastern Europe. The present condition of the fruit regions was due to labour agitators, who were mostly aliens.
