The conisderntion oY the hack bill
in the house last week called forth
some vigorous speeches on AtnerN

posed to discriminating against
Asiatics.

Whether the Legislature sees fit or
not to grant the prayer of the citizen
mechanics of Hilo, that aliens be
disqualified to follow the trades in
Hawaii, steps are being taken lor
self protection. If the legislature
will not legislate for Americans, the
Americans propose to legislate for
themselves. They arc not plan
ning to run for office or to capture
sdats in the legislature. They pro
pose to use a means that has never
failed in America to gain for the
aboriug man a recognition of his
rights
a union.
The union in Hilo must neces
sarily be a federated organization,
composed of Artisans from every
trade. A preliminary canvas indi
cates that such an organization will
be able to command a membership
of about 300. This organiza-il
tion will do all in its power, that
can be legally done, to better the
condition of the citizen labor on the
Island of Hawaii. It welcomes to
its ranks every American citizen,
who believes in Hawaii for Hawaii

hardship on the poor Chinese and
Japanese, the great majority of
whom would be forced to sell their
horses and carriages aud who would
thus be deprived of their only means
of livelihood.
Another point in the argument of
Mr. Kumalae was that in case the
Chinese and Japanese would be
forced out of the hack business a
great many of them would turn
thieves and robbers. I Ms was
something that the legislators should
think well on. 'They would turn
into people like the Porto Ricans of
recent importation. ,
If it was intended to deprive
these poor people of their only
means of earning a living, then the
government should repay them for

Mr. Kumalae had hardly taken
lis seat before Mr. Chillingworth
vas on his feet. He made a very
itrong appeal to the legislators and
)articularly the natives. Indeed,
lis speech was so strong that the
eople in the back of the room ap
)lauded two or three times. H

and remained on the floor for fully
twelve minutes,

Hawaiian. If this was the kind of
Americanism they had pledged
themselves as candidates to support,
then he had been greatly mistaken.
With Mr. Kumalae it seemed to be
a case of down with everybody but
the Chinese and Japanese. He had
recently had a talk with a Hawaiian
heck driver and had learned from
Vn that the Asiatic hack drivers
w:re pushing the Hawaiians to the

al drawn up
To the members of the House and
Senate, Legislature, Territory of
Hawaii:
Believing that the interests of
Hilo may be best served by encour
aging American citizens to become
identified with the prosperity of
this section of the Territory, the
I undersigned chairmen rcpieseuting
mechanic citizens of the United
States, engaged in the various lines
of structural contracting, and repre
senting the various allied trades
identified with this proposed organi
zation, do hereby agree that we will
employ only citizen labor that we
will work only by the side of citi
zen labor; that we will not finish
or contract to finish any work be
gun by aliens; and that in all mat
ters where aliens are on competition
with American citizens we will give
preference to the latter in our per
sonal dealings.
Resolved therefore that the Terri
torial government enact such legis
lation by direct taxation or other
wise as will bring about the desired
result.
Resolved that it is the sentiment
of the allied trades that contractors
and mechanics be licensed and
furthermore that such licenses be
issued only to citizens of the United
States.
Resolved that all government
! work either contract or by sub con
1 tract shall be performed only by
1 citizen labor.
1 This committee had before it
J signed resolutions from the carpen-
Iters, bricklayers, stone masons,
' plumbers, painters horseshoers,
electricians, blacksmiths, barbers,
tailors, stevedores, harness-markers,
teamsters, gun and locksmiths and
fishermen, all favoring the formation
of an Allied-Trades union. They
unite in demanding that preference
be given to citizen mechanics and
many of them pledge themselves
I not to work nlong side of asiatic
out ten cents a day.
"And yet in the midst of this
sate 01 altairs. said Mr. Cliilling-
wrth, "Mr. Kumalae has not a
sngle word of sympathy for his
enss of people. His sympathy is
a'l for the 'poor' Chinese and the
'oor' Japanese. Not one word
Ills he for the American citizen."
IThe act it was being sought to
ss would not cancel any law now
in force. If men wanted hack
licenses tinder the bill under dis
cission, all they had to do was
simply come in and comply with
the same conditions as those which
would be imposed on the poor Ha
waiian. Continuing, the speaker said that
every twenty-five cent piece paid to
a Chinaman or Japanese was just
so much taken out of the country
and sent back to China or Japan,
It was time that the people were
making an opening for the Ha
waiians in a business that was at
the present time in the hands of
Japanese and Chinese. Mr. Chil-
lingworth's closing words were:
"Give your fellow citizen a show to
live. Hawaiian members, vote for
a bill in favor of your own race.
