" would De Impossible 10 get them without
their being accompanied by large families.
With regard to Chinese, he found them to be
the best mule teamsters be had They were
kind and gentle to the animals, and they were
always willing to re-ship for that Job only
New corners showed great reluctance to take
that kind Of work in hand. They had knack
Of falling under the carts, and getting broken
/ arms and legs in order to shun the work, but
when once initiated they appeared to take
/ pleasure in it. He agreed with Mr. Wright that
/ Portuguese were cruel. They were also hard
to manage and continually trying to do less
work than they ought to do, and when remon-
strated with they fly into passion. He had
7 not had the experience of Mr. Wright in test
ing Chinese as teamsters, but he had found
that they were not bullock drivers. They had
to be furnished with a man to put the yoke on
the cattle. Portuguese try to do a days work
I IN two hours, but It Is the poor dumb animals
that suffer in consequence of their hurry.
DR.. Thompson said he had found Portu
guese kind-hearted and tirst-class teamsters.
Mr.. r. \. Macic said this diversity OF opin-
ions might arise from the different classes of
I Portuguese there are scattered over these
islands There are Portuguese and Portu-
/ guesc. He ventursd to differ from Mr.. Wright
7 in the matter Of Chinamau not being bullock
I drivers. He had tried two at Kilaue1, and
they had daily yoked up their cattle and
worked well. 1t would not be easy to improve
/ upon them.
Mr.. 5. 7, Alexander said that his experience
was that Chinam5n did not care about hand
ling an animal that poked at one end and kick
ed at the other
Mr.. Il, P. Baldwin said he had found Portu-
I guese strong and muscular, and they never
! gave trouble except in the matter OF food. By
management more work could he got ont Of
them than Of any other class. He believed
that If pitted against Chinamau they will do
more work. As field laborers thew were
superior. They were healthy and turned ont
well. He would prefer to pay them une-third
more than any one else. The Chinese have
sickly habits. At attending to CHARTERS and
attending 10 machinery, the Chinese are the
best.
Messrs. Reckard and DEACON spoke favor
ably of Portuguese, more esp sially as field
hands. They objected to Thy high rate Of
wages they receive.
M J. NJ. Alexander moved that the report
of the Labor C0mmitte be adopted
Nh Adams said, he would like to hear
something further about food Wore the matter
was closed.
Mr. W.O. Smith said that the Portuguese
were of special interest at this time as the
Board of Immigration was now engaged Oh
