Proceedings of the Asiatic Exclusion League, March 1908

The Credentials section has representatives from Asbestos Workers, San Francisco Democratic Club, Building Trades Council of San Francisco, Chopper's Friendship Club, and Iroquois Club.

At the time the league had 229 affiliated organizations. Then there's a review of the Congressional Record, listing who was favorable to exclusion and who was not. The League had sent petitions out to people and about 100,000 of them were sent to the Congress, although less than 1000 reached the Speaker's desk.

After that there's a section re-examining the “Chinese Question.” They later note that only one restaurant “in San Jose employed Japs, and that Colonel Breslin, the great seed planter, said that he was getting tired of Japanese and would soon take steps to get rid of them.”
