as arbitrators between employer and
employee. But the foreign repre-
sentatives do not find it an easy
matter always to pacify their
countrymen who cannot see the
Justice OF laws which give to the
master ALTO the servant nothing.
To revise the system OF contract
labor during this session would per-
haps be ihpracticable but certain
amendments to the laws could be
made which would help to prevent
disputes and disagreements in the
future. There is constant diff sr-
ence of opinion in regard to what
constitutes 10 hours work. The
men generally hold that they fulfil
their contract by being out OF their
houses and at work for 10 hours and
they claim that the time used for
dinner is included in the said time.
The employers demand 10 hours
actual work and construe the con-
tracts to mean that the time used by
the servant for dinner is not to be
part OF the 10 hours. This matter
should be adjusted by legislation
one way or other. In some districts
the jud ge before whom the question
has been brought decides in favor OF
the employers (they generally do).
IA others the claims Of the servants
are upheld (but rarely,)
Another matter which was the
cause of trouble short while ago
is the use of warrant instead OF a
summons against a contract desert
ing laborer. On one of the best
conducted plantations on Maui
considerable dissatis faction and dis
content was caused by the indiscreet
use of warrant by blundering
district magistrate. A laborer who
only had been short while in the
county but who had intelligence
enough not to allow what he believed
to be his rights to be trampled upon,
raised the question as to the 10
hours referred to above. He re-
fused TO work 10a hours and quit
when the exact 10 hours were up.
lie then, according to our beautiful
laws, became deserter and, at 8
o'clock in the evening. he was arrest
on a warrant and marched, miles to
the lock up. Ihe man was willing
to submit to the judges decision in
regard to what constituted 10 hours
work according t, the contract,
but he did Object to working 1C
hours aud then at night being drag
ged out his house and marched to

similar instances.

After what we have seen lately of
the tendencies OF the Cabinet in re-

OF screwing the abnormal fines i'm

1t is no wonder that even the

before that august body was going

the constitution demands that the
Senate has the FIRST consideration OF
such bills. The bills were tabled
and the "body' looked disgusted at
being second consideration.
