TH E County Commissioners
awarded the contract for the new
Tuberculosis hospital to George
Lingler Wednesday. This is the
hospital that the labor unions hav
been asking the commissirneis for
the p?st year to build While it is
not exactly what th^ frade union
ists expected ®r what the county
needs, yet it is a step ir the right
directkm to a larger and better hos
pital. The contractor will com
plete the building in ninety day
and this is none too soon as many
patients are waiting to enter the in
stitution.
AT THE last meeting of the Cen
tral i/abor Council the delegates
from the different affiliated unions
were instructed to ask their organ
izations, whether they wanted an
other Labor Day parade and outing
this year. From reports we have
from unions tbat hare met in th
past week, it rppears that the un
ions are heartily in favor of a cele
bration. While seme few union
men can not see the necessity of a
Labor Day celebration yet ihe vast
majority think that we should con
tinue our Labor Day Outings. The
Labor Day parade we find is the
best advertisement that the labor
unions ever had and to abandon the
idea especially at this time would
be ttnwise, and while we are march
ing to show our colors, why not
have an all day outing also. We
HH
favor the parade and outing for Iconceded the half holiday.

Workers iu breweries of Kansas
City Mo., and their employers
have signed a three year agreement
Malsters, brewers, beer bottles and
beer drivers will receive increases
of #1 a week for two years and
1.50 the third year. Hours for
drivers have been placed at ten per
day instead of the unlimited work
day that was formerly the rule.
Engineers are given the same wage
increase, and electricians tbe wage
paia by outside contiactors. Tbe
rates of firemen and coopers are

povernor Carlston of Colorado
has appointed the three members
on the State Industrial Relations
Commission, created by the last
legislature. The appointees are
aii insurance agent, a lawyer and a
minager of an iron fuuudry. This
commission will enforce the work
men's compensation law, which
takes effect August 1. The com
mission was created on the theory
that it would assist in solving Colo
rado's economic injustices. The
consideration of industrial disputes
is one of the board's principal du
ties. Unionists failed iu tueir at
tempt to secure representation.
Nine of the ten gunmen who

wounding a score of strikers, were
convicted of manslaughter. The
jury debated all night and w

Writing to the United States
Department of Commerce, J.
Boomer tells of the-.e conditions in
Hawaii: "The Hawaiian employers
of Filipino labor have met the law
that was expected to discourage
the exportation of labor from the
islands by complying with its oner
ous df mands. The Philippine rep
resentative of the Hawaiian em
plovers of laboi has pos'ted with
the *ocal bureau of labor the $3,000
required by the new law to enable
any one to recruit labor within the
islands for employment abroad
This representative has also given
notice that he intends to recruit la
borers in the piovin'es of Cebu
Romblon, La Union Iloccs Nortp
and Ilocos Sitr, in eaih of which
he will be requiied to ppy an addi
tional $250 in order to operate.
The charges imposed were intended
to provide a fund for the salary of
a government inspector of condi
tions under which Flilipino laboi
lives abroad."

Mayor Of Chicago Forces
Arbitration In Gar Strike.
The Chicago streei car strike,
iuvclving 14,000 workers, is over.
was settled by an agreement to
arbitrate, and Tuesday noon the
familiar roar of the elevated trains
and the gongs of the surface cans
were heard again.
The appearance of tbe first sur
face car, some hours after the ele
vated trains were running, was the
occasion of a demonstration in the
downtown district.
Windows of office buildings along
the route were crowded with per
sons who cheered the visible evi
dence that the forty eight hour
strike was at an end.
Other cars followed with increas
tng frequency and the drivers of
van aud other vehicles wh'ch have
been reaping a harvest in ttans
porting the populati n began re
turning to their regular vocations.
The settlement was reached after
an all night conference behind
locked doors in the Mayor's office.
It was attended by Mayor Tl omp
son, the Aldermani Mediation
Committee, the Grievance Commit
tee of the unions and he Presi
dents of the traction companies.
The Arbitration Board will con
sist of a representative of each side
with Mayor Thompson the neutral
member. The Mayor generally was
credited with ending the strixe.
"It is arbitration practically
without qualifications," said the
Mayor, when asked as to details
of the agreement. The other ar
bitrators ive not yet been named
The strike was remarkable in
that no violerce was traced to
striker no arrests were necessary
and for the good humor with which
the piblic accepted it.
Workers Advance Steadily.
Racine, Wis, June 18.—In
speech on "Labor Legislation,'
before a large crowd of unionists
in this city, Congressman Coope
said:
"Sentiment in regard to the
workingman has changed entirely
as is evidenced particularly by thi
clause in the Clayton law: "The
labor power of a human being is
not acomrn dity or article of com
merce. This sentiment will go
'round the world, the same as Thos
Jefferson's declaration tbat 'all
men are created equal and endowed
with certain inalienable r'ghts.
This declaration now adorns the
walls of many school roons in
Europe, aud has even spread to
Japan."
The speaker compared present
conditions with those of but a few
years ago, when men were im
pi isoned for striking. At that time
they could obtain no alien on the
property they were woiking on
and in Massachusetts there is
case on record of a man being im
prisoned for a debt of $4, declared
the Congressman.
Violate Contract Labor Act.
Wilmington, Del., June 18.—
Special agents of the federal de
payment of labor have arrested
4 draughtsmen, following months
of investigation of charges that
alien workmen were employed in
this city. The arrests were made
under the alien contract labor law
of the United States, violation of
which, in event of conviction,
punishable by a fine of $1,000 on
the corporation employing such
workmen and the deportation of
the workers.

Lauds A. F. if L. Exhibit.
Siu Francisco, June 18.—The
A. F. of L., has one of the most
attractive exhibi's at the Panama
Pacific expositions writes Freder
ick W. Ely, in the Evening Bulle
tin, He says:
"Taken as a whole, the exhibit
is one of which the organized
workers may justly feel proud. It
is attracting the kttention of thcu
sands of visitors daily, many of
whom are evidently seeking to
know more about the principles,
the aims and objects of the trade
union movement. Many of these
visitors are, apparently, from the
liesure class. They ask all sorts
of questions concerning the labor
movement and frequently express
sympathy and friendship for the
workers and their case. They go
away armed with labor literature.
"The exhibit should, and doubt
less will, arouse much interest" in
the doings of organized labor.
"Through its exhibit at the ex
position the American Federation
of Labor is doing a work that will
surely be productive of results that
will be helpful to the workers
in their struggle lor justice and
liberty."
Privati Detectives Scored.
Philadelphia, Juae 18.— In di*
missing tbe suit of a private deiee
tive, Judge MacNeile, iu municipal
court, scored the practice (if private
detectives in seeking to prove
charges ef wrongdoings against in
nocent persons
"This defective," said the court,
"appears to have advised this busi
ness house that be was in posesMon
of evidence to prove an employe a
thief, whereupon a contract was
entered into, using the words "will
pay $300 if employe is proved to be
a thief."
"It appears that, contrary to
what the detective said, he did net
have tbe evidence. He then set
about to prove the man a thief.
This would give rise to all sorts of
dangerous consequences, not only
to unfortunate employes, but to
employers as well, who might easily
become involved as a result of the
detective's work. This is a prac
tice that is going on entirely too
much, and must be broken up."
Will Invoke Referendum.
Columbus, Ohio, June 18—The
executive committee of district No.
6 Ohio miners, have voted in fivor
of conducting a referendum against
the Gallagher bill, which repeals
the Green anti screen law. Obio
miners are now working under the
run cf mine system (pay for all
coal mined,) which the Green law
provided for, and which the miners
made universal iu this state by re
cently winning a fourteen months
strike in southeastern Ohio. While
there is still a small likelihood of
the run of mine system being aban
dmed, the Gallagher law is a con
stant menace thatobjectional work
ing conditions may be attempted
at the expiration of present con
tracts. The miners are aroused at
the repeal of the Green law because
its opponents made no attempt to
give the law a fair trial.
BOMS of Contention In Cliicago
Strike.
The companies conceded these
points in advance of arbitration:
1. Trippers, that is men who are
given one run in the morning rush
and another at night, to be elim
inated, thus giving every trainman
a regular job.
2. Runs an surface lines not to
aisume over nine hours actual
v irking time.
J.
Wages shall not be revised
downward.
This leaves
for
arbitration tbe
toi lowing.
1, Scale o& wages.
2. Period of service before max
imum wage is received
J. Time in which a day's ran on
the elevatied is to be completed.
1. Adjustment of straight and
s wing runs on the elevated to elim
inate so far as possible waits by
employees between trains.
Railroad Orders Increase.
Philadelphia, June 18.—It is
stated that during the month of
May the railroads of the country
have arranged definitely for new
equipment, cars and locomotives,
to cost $21,000,000. This is double
the total amount of equipment or
dered during the previous four
months.

Flocking To Wheat Fields.
Oklahoma City Okla, June 18.
South western *vheat fields will not
suffer because of lack of workers,
according to the following from
tbe Labor Unit, of this city:
"Nearly one thousand letters a
day have been coming to the state
labor department the past week
making inquiry with reference to
the wheat harvest in Oklahoma.
These letters are coming from every
section of the United States and
are in response to notices in the
newspapers that Oklahoma will
need 16,000 to 20,000 men for tbe
harvest.
"Young lawyers from Georgia,
college boys from Conneticut, ex
perienced wheat barvesteis from
Minnesota and Illinois, clerks from
Washington, D. C., men from every
walk of life, are sending in appli
cations to get in on the cutting of
the wheat.
"Letters have been coming in
regularly for a month askiug about
the prospect of work, but this
week's avalanche of mail is the be
ginning of teal rush far jobs."
Will Probe Land Values.
San Francisco, June 18.—For
the purpose of refuting the claim
that so called high wage rates of
union workmen are keeping manu
facturers away from this city, the
Labor Council has instructed a
committee to investigate real es
tate values in San Francisco as
compared with other cities of equal
size. The unionists insist that real
estate owners and agents are re
sponsible for such conditions.
Walking Lengthens Life.
Was) ington, June 18.—The
United States public health service
has issued a warning that failure to
walk shortens life. The medics
make this plea for more pedestrians
"The death rate after the age of
40 is increasing, in spite cf more
sanitary modes of living. The ex
pectation of life after 40 is less than
it was thirty years ago. This is
du^ largely to increased prevalence
of the diseases of degeneration.
"Take daily exercise. Have a
hobby that gets you out of doors.
Walk for the sake of walking.
Join a walking club and keep your
weekly score of miles. Gymnasium
work is good for those who like it
and can afford it, but avoid heavy
athletics. You may not burn the
family carriage, a s Benjamin
Frenklin suggesteed, but at least,
as he advised, walk, walk."

QUEER HAWAIIAN NAMES.
8ueh as
Mrs. Oyster and The
Man Who
Washes His Dimples.
The natives of Hawaii are singularly
picturesque in their choice of names.
Mr. Scissors, The Thief, The Ghost,
The Fool, The Man Who Washes His
Dimples. Mrs. Oyster, The Weary Liz
ard, Thp Husband of Kaneia (a male
dog). The Great Kettle. The First
Nose, The Atlantic Ocean, The Stom
ach, Poor Pussy, Mrs. Turkey, The
Tenth Ileuveu, are all names that have
appeared In the city directory.
They are often careless of the gender
or appropriateness of tbe names they
take. A householder on Beretania
street, Honolulu, is called The Pretty
Woman (Wahine Maikal) a male In
fant was lately christened Mrs. Tomp
kins one little girl is named Samson
another, The Man Susan (Kukena) is a
boy so are Polly Sarah, Jane Peter and
Henry Ann. A pretty little maid has
been named by her foud parents The
Pig Sty (Hale Pua). For some un
known reason—or for no reason at all
—one boy is named The Rat Eater
(Kamea Oie Ole).
The Rev. Dr. Coan of Hawaii pos
sessed the love of his flock. One morn
ing a child was presented for baptism
whose name was giveu by the parents,
Makia when the ceremony was fin
ished the parents assured the doctor
that they hiid named the baby for him.
"But my name is not Michael," said
the doctor, supposing Mikia to be aim
ed thereat
"We always hear your wife cgll you
Mikia," answered the mother. She had
mistaken Mrs. Coan's familiar "my
dear" for her husband's given name.
An old servant in Dr. Wight's fam
ily at Kohala caused her grandchild to
be baptised in church. The Doctor
(Kauka) that was its only name. By
way of compliment to the early physi
cians, many children were named after
their drugs, as Joseph Squills, Miss
Rhubarb. The Emetic. The Doctor Who
Peeps In at a Door.
Names uncomplimentary, or even dis
gusting, are whlingly borne by their
owners: ofixers convey a Dleas)iur and
