At the -bureau bf labor and statistics
it is sail) there is no, acute shortage of
liilx.r in the Islands nt this time. The
opinion prevails on the mainland that
Hawaii is suffering from a "labor fnm
ine. ' '
There is almost never any real sur
plus of labor in the Territory and at al
most any time more labor could be
used. This applies to some industries
other than the stoar, although it is
true that a larger than usual number
'if .Spanish unit Portuguese workers
have left Hawaii this yvM, attracted
by promised higher wages on the main
land in munition factories and other
industries.' Sesne Filipinos have also
gone away intending to work in the
Alaskan fish paekeries. At that the
situation is not serious.
It is improbable the exodus of labor
from the Islands will go much further.
Lack of steerage 'accommodations ex
plains this. It is aaid that only one
.line is now taking any steerage psen
grs from her that un take only
single men, . L'nder such conditions it
would uppeur the exodus must be speed
ily checked. It is said that the num
ber it he oue liue oao take is very Usi
ited.
The fact tlmt there is no stesrpge ac
eommndntion for those who would go to
the main In nd puts a quietus on a street
rumor tlmt lias been frequently heard
ainoe it became most probable that pro
hibitiou under federal enactment will
be in operation in the Islands by the
nrst or July. IBis rwaaor sain more
than 20,000 Japanese laborers intended
to leave the Islands fur Mexico if they
could nut get their sake. The rumor
eoundod improbable. It sounded un
likely they would leav" tluur homes
here tonne on nil of the pltiut'ttions. or
nearly nil, tho lu.lirei bus a eulti.ge
with home grounds u many, schools
uh.I iiiuiiv other arrmigemeiits fr tjuir

thty could command iu Mexico, und si
together the "yarn" soeinod iinprub

of there being no steerage acvoiuuioju
tions for them. '

In the Far Eaat,' Formosa, Java, th

some gain over lst Seasoo's produc
tion amounting for the entire Far East
-to over 00000 too, iCowpkni with

of sugar at the end of this erop seaeos
for this division wiH be of abnormal
proportion and in each. volume a U

lack of tonnage to aiove this sugar
and tb,e high freight rates prevailing
make it practically impossible to

Ustwally this year'a Far Eastern pco

Shipments of sugnr to date, accord

Western sugar. That ia to say about
a sixth of the rrop has been moved.
Last year at this time shiptnent had
been 42,612 tons and at thnt ship
ments were behinA the schedule.
. Reports to th shipping board of su

,showed 33,000 ton. The grind is now
going forward, faster than the ship

To move this sugar two steamers
are now loading and may leave before
the end of the week, the Taucred and
the Oregon. Tho rtnernmentd will soon
I be repaired and will t lien help with

Little help in the immediate future
Can Only Wait
. .Under these eirciiniHtnnces there is
nothing to be done in Hawaii bnt to

;is seeking any possible means to re

alua Agricultural Company has deter
mined to build additional storehouse

Situation Gloomy
'The rfituatien is rather of a gloomy
one.' Delayed shipment mean delayed
returns and the effects of this practic
ally all of the companies will feel. For
tanately most of the companies are in
such fiuauqial condition that they can,
if it be desired, continue the payment
of dividends, anticipating return-,
from the surpluses which they huve iu
hand.
Relative to the bngasse paper making
plant which Oluu is to instull, Mjinnger
C. F. Eckhart in his report to the
stockholders of the company said:
"Following a careful investigation
into the practicability of making a
suitable, mulching paper from bagasse
aa the raw muterial it wus decided in
December Inst that ti small auxiliary
pnper plant be erected alongside of the
augar factory to turu out approximate
ly aitteen tons of uaphalt-suturated
paper per day.
"It has been demonstrated that
about fifty percent of the labor or
dinarily required in the care-taking of
our cane fields can be saved by the
employment of suitable paper mulches
in Oa' eord sine with the practise whirh
has been developed under Olaa condi
tions and thnt a tnaterinlly increased
yield can be obtained at the same time.
, VTlie product of the auxiliary mill
will therefore be used primarily to meet
the agricultural needs of the planta
tion and only a comparatively small
surplus output wj be placed on the
genera) market where it should Und a
ready sule in the forms in which its
manufacture will be adapted for tho
trade. Iu addition lo the manufacture
of mulching paper for which the plant
is primnrily intended, it will be equip
ped and devised o as to permit the
production of roofing rtnd sheathing
felts, tissue and wrapping pnper, and
curd and box hoards. About one-tenth
only of tiie present supply of bagasse
will be utilized iii paper manufacture,
the bnlunce Of it being use as foiinerlv
as fuel in the furnaces.
"The phyitu1 ion has entered into n
contract with Arthur 1). Little. Inc.,
of Cambridge, Mass.. for the design
iflg and erection of this pliiut, mid pro
viding thnt no excessive delays in the
delivery of machinery are encountered,
it is hoped to have the mill in operation
in the beginning of IHl(. The esti-
J mated cost of tho plant Is $185,000.00."
