WOULD MEAN UTTER RUIN
PLANTERS DREAD THE REPEAL
OF THE LABOR LAW.
A Conference Held to Discuss Repre-
of the Cabinet a Good Thing.

John F. Haclfeld, William G. Irwin,
F. NJ. Swanzy, c. Bolte and II. Renjes,
representing the sugar planters of
Hawaii, held a conference with the
House Committee, consisting of Rep
resentative Gear, Richards and Pogue,
late yesterday afternoon.
The topic under discussion was the
House bill introduced by Representa-
tive Gear providing for abolishment of
contract labor in the Islands. The
planters committee was invited to
der that the House committee might
be enlightened as to the effect such
action would have on the sugar es-
tates.
Each member of the planters COM
mittee spoke briefly on the proposed
bill. 1t was the consensus of opinion
ruin to every sugar plantation on the
Islands would follow. The planters
urged that the present Legislature
take no radical action in this direc-
ton, insisting that should annexation
come the contract labor system would
have to go.
The planters explained that the Ia
borers brought to Hawaii were pick
ed up from the poorer classes of Japa-
nese IT was necessary that from $50
to $50 be advanced to each laborer to
get him here. 1t was very necessary,
they deemed it, that the present con-
tract labor system be kept in vogue
for this reason alone.
One of the planters informed the
House committee of a new ruling of
the Cabinet in the matter of employ
! ing laborers. In the future, at least
/ 10 per cent of the men contracted for
! must be white men. That is to say,
should any planter secure one hun
dred Asiatics for his plantation, it
will be necessary for him to employ
ten white men. The planters express
ed themselves as being satisfied with
| this ruling of the Government. They
sincerely believed that should such a
ruling be continued it would not be
many years before white men would
be manning the plantations, and that
the Asiatics would be crowded to the
wall.

MORE REALTY FOR DESkY
BUYS ANOTHER SLICE OF FORT
STREET PROPERTY.
w. A. Kinney With Him in the Pur-
chase of the Property Mauka of the
Bruce Waring Block.

Charles S. Desky and w. 4. Kinney
purchased from Frank p. Herman,
yesterday, the property on the Eva
side of Fort street and adjoining what
is known as the Bruce Waring build
ing. The Seattle House is nov locat-
ed on the property, which has from
tage on Fort street of SO feet, and it
runs back 131 feet. The price paid
was $4,000, which the purchasers con-
slider a bargain.
Mr.. Desky is unwilling to say at the
present time just what disposition will
be made Of the property, but it is
likely that a building will be erected
No improvements will, however, be
made until the street is widened at
that point AS soon as the Legisla-
ture appropriates the necessary mon
ey, it is likely that the street will be
widened. Mr.. Desky and others now
own the Bruce Waring property where
it is proposed to erect substantial
and handsome business block in the
near future, and the new purchase
may be improved at the same time.
Mr.. Desky has great faith in the de-
STABILITY of the neighborhood as a
retail business district, and is bending
his energies to making it so. He says
that when the street is widened and
properly paved and fine store build
ings erected on both sides of the
street. the retail trade will naturally
move in that direction. 1t is not. how
ever, merely boom proposition. IT
has been observed in all growing pla,
ces, that the center of trade always
moves back from the water front, ant
this place is no exception. Mr.. Desl<y
has simply had the foresight to pre-
pare for and anticipate this move
