Uay came up on the la.u Kinau for the purpose of viewing the out break, says the Hllo Herald. Mr. Hay is the secretary of the Senate Inter state Commerce Committee ami pri vate secretary to Senator Cullom. He came here with the Lnitel States Commission last year, and his visit to the Islands at this time is for the pur pose of investigation. Specifically he wU look into the matter of labor and his report will be handed to Senator Cullom on his return. "You will understand." he said to a Herald representative, "that the com mission looked pretty generally into everything when here, but when they arrived back in Washington and framed the bill that was presented to Congress, and defeated, they found a pretty strong opposition. This came, in part, from the anti-expansionists and from men who oppose the meas ure with a main view to disorganizing the Republican side. The bill will be brought up early in the next session of Congress and the commissioners want to make their position as strong as possible. For that reason I was dis patched to the Islands to ascertain the exact number of laborers arriving here since the 12th day of August, and the number departing. Then I will find out the laborers and their nationality engaged on the Islands in agricultural pursuits. This labor question is apt to cut an important part in the debate in the Senate, and both Senator Morgan and Senator Cullom are anxious to be familiar with every detail. "I cannot say whether the United States labor laws will be extended here, but I. feel free to say that the present labor laws of Hawaii will be modified. Since annexation took place Chinese immigration has ceased, but the laws of the Islands permit un limited immigration of Japanese. This can hardfy be . considered fair. Of ... i i... course, tne Japanese can come in their treaty, but it may be necessary to make some arrangements with that government regarding future immi gration. If this is to be done I guess the United States is in a position to make the arrangements. While I am on the Islands I will confer with the planters and others and cr tViotr- vIaws I hnv imil an inter- esting conversation with ll. i uaiu win, and he has promised to give me his views in writing. This and any other reports 1 may have 1 will hand Senator Cullom on my return ana me commission will discuss them. Know ing the pulse o the Senate as I do I ... rw-1 1-1 can say tnis mucn: i ne iauui iu- lem will be solved to the satistaction of the people of the United States and the Islands irrespective of individuals.
