THE CHINESE QUESTION.
Sydney, June 20. A deputation of gardeners, furniture dealers and trades societies waited on the Premier urging him to legislate in the direction of making the Chinese amenable to the Workshops Act and sanitary laws, and also to conform to tho European hours of labour.
In reply, Mr Reid warmly sympathised with the views expressed by the deputation, and said that comprehensive measures dealing with workshops and health would be among the first dealt with by the Government next session. Under these, he said, the Chinese would be made amenable to proper laws regarding health and sanitation, He approved the stamping of furniture of Chinese manufacture, and though a strong Freetrader, favored Europeans doing their best to encourage their own people.
