Now Stanford is pushing for such a bill.
Stanford was satisfied by drinking coffee in the back of Pisa’s chair. He has changed his habit of drinking tea, either wine or coffee, and never drink tea.
Crocker couldn’t bear to see him like this. He was so confident when we built the railway together. It was because of this that he convinced himself that he could build the damn railway and then invest his property again and again. But in the end, this guy ran away and almost went bankrupt.
"You can have a try. In fact, I encourage you to do so."
Crocker laughed
He really wants to see Stanford continue to fight China because he really wants to see this bastard get depressed after his failure.
Stanford laughed. "Well, you can tell the people of China that I would like to be their partner if they are willing to invest enough manpower and material resources."
Crocker was disappointed that if Stanford merged with China people, it would be better not to let them fight each other for the time being, but he also owned shares in Pacific Railway. After the railway was completed, he would benefit. If Stanford continued to fight with China people, it would be impossible to work together to build the railway.
Therefore, he regretted a suggestion: "If you insist on having a dialogue with China people because of your ideals, I personally support you. If you are yourself, I don’t recommend you to do so. Maybe you can consider banning Chinese workers from entering the mining industry, so that white workers can be saved. I think you will get more support from Irish immigrants."
Section five hundred and ninety Pacific Railway to work again
There are many Chinese miners in California, and most of these miners are out of the management of Dalao Export Company and out of the consulate to protect a group of people.
The labor export company imported 100 thousand immigrants in California, of which the number of men and women was equal because they were all organized by family units to immigrate
These immigrants are all expatriates, and the labor export company in California does not encourage them to become American citizens, so these people have no intention to become American citizens
These immigrants are not the only people who come to China, California. There will always be some workers who enter California in various ways.
Because of such a huge immigrant population, such a vast California and such rich interests, it is impossible to stop the greed of people who want to get rich.
Great efforts to crack down on coolie trade can not crack down on free immigration based on personal wishes, so more or less some people will come to the United States as individuals
For example, some people heard that they made a fortune in California and then dreamed of making a fortune and came here to take risks. There are a large number of adventurers in the west and many gamblers in China. Some people take risks when they are desperate.
Some of them came to the United States during the gold rush in the past. They did not return to China in the crackdown on coolie trade, but stayed in the United States as free workers.
Some of them came to the United States from southern Mexico, Cuba and Peru. In this era, there was no smuggling, and there was no border or fence.
Others came to the United States from Canada, and some came to the United States from Alaska and exiled tens of thousands of criminals to Alaska. These people always tried to escape in the vast Alaska, but the destination was not Canada or the United States.
However, some people came to the United States from the northern Manchu-ruled areas. Tianjin and Tangshan are now important ports for Chinese workers to go to sea. A large number of poor people in the north were either cheated or came to the United States by visiting relatives and friends. These people are not in great control of their whereabouts. It is difficult to control the big navy. It is impossible to check whether every ship bound for the United States has coolies.
Therefore, a large number of Chinese workers from northern Hebei and Shandong provinces also came to the United States.
The Chinese workers managed by these no-labor export companies are mainly distributed in the mining industry in the United States, but the former big government acquiesced in this situation. The big government hopes to promote normal legal immigrants to transfer the surplus population out of the country and earn rich returns from California, but there is no need to crack down on these free workers, and there is no need to prevent them from making money in the United States and then repatriating them.
However, with the influx of these free workers into the United States, a large number of American mining capitalists also like to hire these people. First, these Chinese workers are very hardworking and more tolerant of overtime work. Another thing is that even if these people die, no one will bother them, because it is obviously impossible for these people to find someone in China and these people are not under the jurisdiction of the Grand Consulate. There is no consulate in Yu Daqing in the whole United States.
In this case, a large number of American capitalists don’t even buy insurance for Chinese workers. These people have no loss when they die and are buried on the spot.
However, California mining capitalists are more and more fond of hiring free Chinese workers, which leads to the emergence of more and more Chinese miners in American industrial and mining areas. The Irish-owned White Workers’ Party hates these Chinese workers because they never cooperate with the white workers in the process of fighting for workers’ interests. When the white workers strike, these Chinese will take the opportunity to take away the white workers, and even when the trade unions negotiate with the capitalists, the capitalists will threaten to hire Chinese workers, making the white trade unions passive.
Therefore, the real exclusion of Chinese is mainly the workers at the bottom of society and the elite of Americans. Apart from individual racism, most capitalists prefer not to make trouble (lay off workers), which makes the consulate unable to find a handle. Many capitalists choose to arrange for these Chinese workers to become American citizens, so they can’t manage these people.
Due to these complicated reasons, the number of free Chinese workers in California has reached 50 thousand, of which northerners and southerners are equally divided, with and without braids, and most of them are single.
The more Chinese, the fiercer the competition with white workers, the more hatred of Chinese whites, and the more conflicts. In recent years, struggles against Chinese have occurred from time to time.
In 162, ten Chinese were killed in Yuba County, California; In 171, the Chinese in Chinatown in Los Angeles were massacred, and there were countless other criminal cases.
Because of this racial vendetta, I have repeatedly negotiated with the American government, but the American federal government wants to control it, but the government is afraid to control the real lawsuit. In fact, the Consulate General can’t win because these free Chinese workers are all fooled by American employers and joined American workers. Their jurisdiction is actually in the hands of the American government, so they don’t need to explain anything to the big ones at most.
More and more free Chinese workers are injured, but it is impossible for the consulate to ignore it. After analysis, the main attacks on Chinese workers are in the mining industry. Mines belong to the wilderness. Without strict judicial system to protect mine owners and foremen, it is the pioneers in the west of France and Japan who know how many Chinese workers are injured.
In fact, the radical solution is to let Chinese workers not go to mines, even if they earn a little less. In agricultural areas, especially those where Chinese live in concentrated communities, the safety of workers in Chinese communities is much higher.
In recent years, the consulate has been trying hard to do this work, hoping to fix these freelance Chinese workers in places where the labor export company can control them, but their efforts have not been successful. Because the wages in the mining industry are too high, a strong worker can earn two dollars a day, while in the land industry, Chinese workers can’t even earn one dollar a day, and they can get 70 to 10 cents, which is about half a cent of silver.
In this case, if California legislates to prohibit Chinese workers from entering the mining industry with high risk and income, it is equivalent to helping the labor export company to protect these workers.
Crocker, who has worked in the labor export company for three years, is well aware of the employer’s mentality, so he believes that Stanford’s promotion of such a bill that can satisfy white miners is actually helping China people in disguise.
However, Stanford is also blind to it. Now, if he chooses, if he really pursues the ideal with China people, then he will naturally not promote such a bill. If he seeks prestige and political achievements for himself, then banning Chinese workers from entering the mining industry will meet all his requirements.
Crocker soon got the answer because he received the news that Stanford recently encouraged Chinese workers to be banned from entering the mining industry, the largest industry in California. They competed with white miners for jobs. This attitude and view of Stanford catered to the tastes of white interest groups. Various white groups and racist workers strongly supported Stanford’s view, so a new bill was passed quickly in February 166.
At the same time, Stanford has also completed negotiations with Lao Export Company, and the two sides have reached a joint agreement. Stanford will acquire 21% shares of Pacific Railway, so that it can hold shares with Lao Export Company and control the railway company together.
