ARRIVE At \ SATISFACTORY
CONCLUSION TODAY.
More Japanese haborers VIII Come.
but Only Enough to Carry On the
Work for the Present.

The President and his Ministers
held their second conference with the
sugar planters this morning at the
Executive building relative to the la
Dor matter Before taking an adj
iournment at noon resolution was
passed hv the Executive Council which
met with the hearty approval of all
the planters.
The Executive Council recommend
ed in its resolution the approval by
the Board of immigration OF all appli-
cations of the sugar planters for Ja-
panese laborers which will meet with
the actual requirements for the pres
ent.
The Board Of immigration. consist

president, j. B. AthertOu. ID. Il. Smith.
j. G.. Spencer. j. Garden, Joseph
Marsden and Secretary Wray Taylor.
will meet this afternoon to take up
the labor matter. The Board will in
all probability act in harmony with
the recommendation made by the En-
ecutive Council.
Attorney General Smith stated this
noon that the planters in their con-
sultations with the Executive Council
evinced desire to get along with as
few laborers as possible for the pres
ent. knowing this to be the wish OF
the government. They volunteered to
employ all the free japanese laborcrs
it was possible for them to get and
would only ask for enough men to
carry on the work now mapped out.
Mr.. Smith said that the existing
conditions required some of the plan
tations to ask for more men than they
otherwise would have needed. For in
stance the extension of the Oahu rail
way from Waianae to Waialua has ia
ken great many men from Eva and
Oahu plantations.
The total number of japanese con
tract laborers that have been applied
for is quite large but considerable be-
low the number that would have been
asked for in ordinary times
