A LABOR COUNCIL
Planters Gather to Discuss Grave
5
MUST BE VARIETY OF WORKMEN
Americans First Portuguese to
Come Italians on the List.
Coreans Considered.
Business of the first importance wis
considered at a meeting of the Ha
waiian Planters' Association held here
yesterday morning. Labor supply dis
cussion occupied all of the time and
was most earnest. Many plans were
proposed and carefully viewed. Asso
ciation members called in some out
side counsel, including at least one
member of the Government. W. O.
Smith, Attorney General, was present.
So was L. A. Thurston. Mr. Smith as
sisted in organization of the planters
years ago. He was for a long time sec
retary of their society. Mr. Thurston
has several times aided the planters in
securing labor. The meeting was well
attended. For several weeks the gath
ering had been projected, but other
matters intervened to cause postpone
ments. After the adjournment of the meet
ing calls were made upon half a dozen
or more of the gentlemen known to
have been present. All declined to say
of the session further than that labor
supply prospects had been talked
about. It was stated that no definite
or moving conclusions had been
reached, but that there was to be a
meeting again soon, when plans for
action would in all likelihood be ap
proved. The Advertiser learns that the plant
ers consider the situation extremely
serious. Several thousand laborers
must be had within the next six to
twelve months. It is pretty well
agreed that it will be simply impos
sible to bring in any more Chinese. It
appears or is thought that there exists
a plentiful supply beyond the sea of
Japanese labor which may be drawrn
upon. But the planters have con chicl
ed that it will not be safe to have all
Japanese in the fields and as laborers
about the mills and sugar rooms. They
know that this paper's account of the
Japanese strike that was proposed for
a few weeks ago and that was headed
off only by interference of the repre
sentative here oZ the Japanese Govern
ment, was correct in every particular.
It was the firm and fixed intention to
have a strike that would simply par
alyze plantation operation. As more
is learned of the Japanese as organiz
ers of labor guilds, more nervousness
is felt on account of the labor condition
here. In Japan the working people are
most powerfully and thoroughly or
ganized, from the "rickshaw" men up
into the skilled trades. They believe
in the efficacy of the strike and it will
take a number of years to cure them of
the faith.
The planters want no strikes. To
avoid difficulties with labor they want
a variety of people in the fields. The
leaven of Chinese is becoming less in
comparison with the body of Japan
ese. It may be i-emarked here, how
ever, that many of the Chinese brought
in under the three year permit are to
remain at increased wage. The stip
ulation was that they should return at
expiration of service or sign over for
plantation work only. Money for their
passage home has been saved from
their wages through a Government
bureau. As so many new plantations
have been started, wages have in
creased and a number of the Chinese
become free have engaged in service
again almost indefinitely for time.
The planters will watch the co-operative
experiment at Ewa with farmers
from California with the very keenest
interest. If Manager Eowrie makes a
success of his plan it will be extended
to about every plantation in the
group.
An effort is to be made to secure
more Portuguese. There has been some
correspondence on the subject and
guarantee assurances have been re
ceived that quite a number of Portu
guese can be had. They will cost more
than any other labor, both in trans
portation and pay, but are regarded as
exceptionally desirable. A connec
tion somewhat new, but regarded as
certain and satisfactory, has been
made for the purpose of securing the
Portuguese.
There will be a try to get Italian
peasants. Mr. Benton, who has been
Hawaiian consul at Rome, has been
working for three years for the purpose
of arranging for emigration from ag
ricultural districts of Italy to Hawaii
an plantations. Mr. Benton and oth
ers who have investigated declare that
a first-class desirable labor can be se
cured. The people are in districts
where such institutions as the mafia
are unknown. They- are hard-working,
honest farmers, who would be well sat
isfied in Hawaii.
Labor for Hawaiian cane fields may
These p.-op:-
would be exc ellent for the use of sugar
estates. They are big and strong an I
have boon found to be faithful an 1 in-
telligent workers. Th
e question o:
permitting Coreans to land here under
United States regulations has bfen
raised, but it is not considered that
they would be excluded as of a class
with Chinese. The planters have been
told that they can secure almost any
desired quantity of labor from Corea.
The first effort of the planters, it i.-i
understood, will be to get labor from
the Mainland and to add somewhat to
the Portuguese population of work
men. There is fullest appreciation or
the wisdom of inducing an immigra
tion that would develop into a farm
ing section of high class citizenship.
Labor famine stares the planter in
the face and now that he sees the di
lemma, there will not be great hesita
tion in doing something that will hav
result.
The Philadelphia .
Admiral Miller sends this written
announcement to the Advertiser:
"The Philadelphia will sail on
Thursday afternoon. All bills against
officers or men should be presented
before 10 o'clock that morning.
"Admiral Miller regrets exceedingly
that owing to his departure at an earl
ier date than was anticipated, he will
be unable to call upon his many
friends in Honolulu to say good-bye."
JMethodist Fair Tonight.
The fair and reception to be given
by the ladies of the Methodist church
this evening will be preceded by a tea
in the afternoon, to begin at 5 o'clock.
Members of the congregation and
friends are cordially invited to be
present. The affair will take place at
the parsonage, corner of Beretania and
Miller streets.
The fair this evening, at the same
place, will begin at 7:30. It will be
after the usual order. Fancy articles,
children's bric-a-brac, candies, flowers,
etc., will be sold and refreshments will
be served.
THE TEAM ARRANGED.

NEW ST E A 31 LAUNDRY.
31anager to Arrive By the Austra.
lia From San Francisco.
The manager for the new steam
laundry will arrive by the Australia.
His name is A. C. Smith. He has been
for years manager of the steam laun
dry connected with the Palace Hotel
in San Francisco and is reputed to be
a most competent man. Native girls
will be employed in the laundry to do
ironing. Kawaiahao .Seminary and
Kamehameha School Girls will be em
ployed as far as possible. It is felt
by the management that this arrange
ment will be a mutual benefit, giving
the laundry first-class help and as
sisting the young ladies as wrell.
The machinery for the laundry was
moved yesterday to the premises at
Iwilei. It is expected that everything
can be placed in order for business by
November 1.

feats in conjuring, as well as some
more great mysteries. Mdlle. tV Alton
will sing ballads. Mr. Hertz has be
come popular with all who have had
the opportunity of seeing him on the
stage or meeting him privately and it
is believed that he will attract large
audiences. The motion pictures during
the engagement will be a feature. In
time one of the Jubilee procession,
said to be the gem of the collection,
will be shown.
REFRESHING BEVERAGE,
Such as well made morning cocktails,

BAD COFFEE HERE
Iflspector Johnstone Reports on Use
of Chicory.
THERE IS MUCH ADULTERATION
Tea Found to Be All Right Manu
factured Coffee-Oleomargarine.
School Children.
President Smith, Dr. Emerson, Dr.
Day, George YV. Smith, T. F. Lansing,
D. L. Keiiipio and Secretary Wilcox
were present at a meeting of the Board
of Health held yesterday afternoon.
The first thing was a discussion
between President Smith and Dr.
Emerson on the extent of the
duties of Government physicians
in examining school children.
Dr. Emerson contended that this
should be confined to children of pub
lic schools only, while Mr. Smith con
tended that the examination should, in
the public interests, be made general.
The latter course was adopted.
For the two weeks just ended In
spector Keiiipio reported TSJ'JG and
51,457 fish examined.
The report of the Food Commission
er on chicory and coffee substitutes
was read. He stated that since the
first of the year 60,500 pounds of chic
ory had been imported. Of this mat
ter he says:
"An examination of the retail coffee
trade of Honolulu, especially that car
ried on by Chinamen, shows the bulk
of the chicory mentioned above is
used to adulterate coffees. Out of
some sixty samples taken I have found
the chicory adulterations ranging from
25 per cent to, in one case, 00 per cent.
I have also found an imitation coffee,
said to be manufactured by ,
which is composed chiefly of roast
wheat, peas or beans. This coffee is,
of course, a fraudulent article and
should not be allowed exemption under
section 3 of act 34. "
"Thirty-three samples of tea from
Chinatown have also been examined,
but no adulteration thus far has been
found, although the teas in most cases
were of a very poor quality." .
"Investigation shows that since Jan
uary 1, 1898, 55, SOS pounds of oleo
margarine have been imported."
Norman Watkins applied for the po
sition of milk inspector. Deferred for
the present.
Sheriff Andrews accepted the posi
tion of manager of the ililo hospital.
He asked for a elerk, but will be re
quired to use his own office bookkeep
er for clerical work in the hospital.
Dr. Rokaku reported little change in
the sanitary condition of Japan during
August. On September 12 he reported
the appearance of cholera in Tokio and
other places, including four cases in
Yokohama neighborhood. From Aug
ust 17 to September 12 there were sev
en cases in Tokio.
Dr. Day reported that the health of
the fiSO steerage passengers brought bv
the last steamer from China and Japan
was exceptionally good, there being
an absence of any disease whatever.

HKi RIFLE CONTEST.
Military Companies Planning for
Saturday's Match.
Unusual interest is being taken by
military men in the shoot for the For
eign Office trophy. The event Is sched
uled for Saturday afternoon, but may
be arranged to take place at such
hours as will not conflict with Minis
ter Damon's reception at Moanalua.
Colonel Fisher will consult with com
pany officers this evening about the
matter and team captains will advise
their men on Friday as to the arrange
ments. Companies B, D, F and G will enter
teams. The others have dropped out.
Of the number G is getting in the most
practice and hopes to win. This team
has won twice already. For Satur
day's shoot, however, several "scrubs"
will have to be put in, the team being
short. F will come up very strong.
Besides its own men, it has captured
the best shots of E and will use them
in the match. B is also in fine shape
and has high hopes. D also expects to
make a showing.
Besides the big trophy there is an
individual prize which many of the
men will try to win. Lieutenant Gus
Rose of Company G now has the rec
ord, with 40 in the last match.
A new style of passenger coach,
specially adapted to the tropics, is be
ing planned by the Oahu Railway Co.
