immediately for the Northwest in
tho interest of his American labor
proposition.
This morning Colonel Whyto
delivered to C. Bolte, secretary of
tho Hawaiian Sugar Planters As
sociation, tho plan of action in
this matter. As stated in tho
Bulletin last woek, this inclndos
a form of agreement to bo sub

given out after submission to tho
trustees of tbo Association.
Colonel Whyto will tako away
with him on his mission lottors

tion by Mr. Lowrio shortly boforo
he removed to Spreckolsvillo.
Those lettors will describe tho ex
periences of tho colonists and'
state thoir viows upon the experi
ment as affeoting themselves.
In conversation with a Bulle
tin reporter beforo leaving for
ill lo, (Jolonol Wuyte spoko.in
substanco as follows:
"Hawaii etnnds in a bettor posi
tion for labor than any Stato or
Territory on the mainland. The
twenty.fivo hundred miles of,
water intervening botween horo
and thero makos rathor bad walk
ing. This fact will go far toward
eliminating tho tramp olemont.
"Tho danger at present is from
the quieting down of tho labor
scare by tho Government's retract
ing of its rofusal to grant permis
sion for furthor supplies of Japa
noso contract labor. This respite
is liable to causo a lull of intoroat
in tho movomont to procuro whito
labor from tho Coast.
"In my opinion, this casing
down of tho situation ought to bo
takon as the opportunity for tho
work in tho interest of American
labor. Otherwieo, when tho
change of systom does come, the
planters will be just as badly pre
pared for it as thoy wero when
tho Government (he other dny an
nounced its policy since abandon
ed. "Those islands may obtain good
material for citizenship in a labor
supply from the Count, for the
roason I haw uiven. I tell vou,
I saw a Chinese camp on Maui
for which I should not becomo
rosponsible for all the sugar stock
in tho Hawaiian Islands. Tho

PRESIDENT DOLE
President Dole kindly permits the publication of the text of
his letter to the plantations on the matter of labor. It appears
below. The desertions on which information is sought are those
occurring the first three months of this year:
" Since the meeting of a committee of the Sugar Planters As
sociation with the Executive Council on the 17th inst., the Pre
sident has received advices from the American Government
which justify a change of the contemplated policy of the Hawai
ian Government in regard to labor immigration.
" All applications for labor immigration permits" filed before
the end of this month, accompanied with the additional state
ments as heretofore requested in regard to desertions and num
ber and nationalities of employes, as of the 31st day of March
last, will be considered.
" A further statement is also requested with such applications,
showing any contemplated extension of present area of land de
voted to sugar cultivation, and other particulars which deal with
the actual necessities for the applications presented."
