SECOND LETTER RECEIVED BY
THE GATEWAY FROM OB
SERVING YOUNG MAN
BITTER EXPERIENCE RECALLED
Advocates Filipinos Be Put in Charge
Certain Work Instead Chinese.
Last summer. The. Gateway publish
ed a letter from Santiago Agaton
Yboa, the author of the following mis
sive, in which he described the Al
aska fish packing industry as seen
thru the eyes of a Filipino lad. The
letter was reproduced in practically
every paper in the Territory, as well
as one in Seattle. M. Yb >a is jus
starting on his second season In *he
employe of a cannery to the West
ward and his opening sentence re
veals Alaska is not so bad after all.
The letter follows in full:
By SANTIAGO AGATON YBOA
“Alaska is not so bad nr w as used
to be.” This is the express on of some
of the Filipinos who for many years
have been continuously working for
the salmon canneries. They believe
as time goes on great changes and
progress have been already made.
When they sat together and recalled
their bitter experiences in the pas:
few who have not been in Alaska
would never come over and work for
any cannery. The oldtimors as they
call themselves will tell you that life
could be taken away from any fellow
worker like a dog or pig and small j
penalty, if caught, imposed upon the
intruders. Sometimes they rot chanc- j
es to get away from the h nd of the
officers of the law. Small provoca-1
tion or quarrel sometimes resulted at
The end in untimely death of one or
the other, or both parties. Revolvers,
shot guns and other deadly weapons
were carried and used freely. Gambl
ing of every description, poor meals,
unsanitary habitation, different and
mixed races with rude tendencies and
radical character, liquor, etc., were
the principal causes or main sources
of such sad tragedies. Filipinos are
the majority of the workers or helps
employed here in Alaska.
There will be a time and we do hope
lime will come when the salmon pack
ers would employ Filipino contractors
and gang foremen instead of Chinese,
or Japanese which as a matter of fact
they have hen using Filipinos as their
tools. Better understanding and co
operation between the packers and the
Filipinos who are capable of handling
such management are good guarantee
to bring into successful result. In
Seattle, for instance, there are no*
Filipino contractors and gang fore
men for the big packers, and so far
they are doing excellent work and
handling accordingly with worthy
1 commendation. We have breathed life
into it and would makf of it it the fu
ture a cornerstone upon which the
edifice of American-Pilipinc friendship
securely rests.
Filipinos came to America to seek
where labor has its reward and where
industry is fostered and favored- In
spite of prejudices before ns and dis
advantages of our early training we
travel and try to s«ek fortune and
education. We always animated b
feeling of gratitude to the American
people foT the humanitarian helps up
on us everywhere. We always lock
the American people as our benefac
tor.
Through experiences T lipinos as
far as they are concerned average
just about the sain-: as other races
