WHITES REPLACE HINDUS
-----------------New Westminster, Aug. 5.—The supplanting of the Hindus at the
Fraser River mills with French-Canadians from Ontario and Quebec will star
this month. Twenty families will be included in the first arrivals, and they will
be housed in residences put up by the company for its employees. It is the
intention of the concern to replace all of its Asiatic labor with white help, the
associations of the latter being much preferable to those of the Oriental, and
more satisfactory work is expected from them.
The mills are being run full time, and for a while all-night shifts were
used, these latter, however, being discontinued at present. The average cut
per day during July was 370,000 feet of lumber, the largest in any one day
being 403,000 feet.
