like those now cXtant on Molokai
would be placed at Kalalau and
would therefore affect the product
and industry of the kamaainas now

to be allowed to remain there are
not residents of the place, but belong
to other districts of the islands.

Noble Marsden, from the Labor
Committee, reported on Bill z, in
troduced by Rep. Kanealii, and to
the effect that most of the objects
sought to be obtained by the Bill
are fully covered by the contracts
and the laborer is fully protected
by See. 1923 of the Civil Code. As
to the provision requiring the en-
ployer to release the laborer from
work at II o'clock noon on every
Saturday, the Committee are of the
opinion that this would conflict with
all of the existing contracts for
labor. The Committee say that they
are confident that the conditions OF
contract laborers in this kingdom
compare most favorably with that OF
any country that employs contract
labor, and they call the attention OF
this House to the report of the
Inspectorin-Chief of japanese i'm,
migrants on pages 40 and Al in the
report Of the President of the Bureau
of Immigration. For the reasons
above stated, the Committee recon-
mend the Bill be tabled. Report
tabled for Bill.
Rep. Wilder from the Committe,
on Commerce reported on Bill l42
to prevent the further introduction
of mongoose in or upon the lslanC
of Oahu, and also to adopt som,
means to try to eXterminate thos'
already on the said island. Th'
committee say that while it is fac
that the mongoose accomplish tn,
work for which they were intro
duced, viz, destroying rats, yet it i
also a fact that they destroy every
thing in the shape of poultry, an,
no doubt will become a curse to tn
islands. The committee recommen,
an amendment which makes it
misdemeanor for the mongoose t.
be kept or bred upon the Islands q
Oahu or Kauai. Tabled for con
sideration with bill.
