present Ia thus outlined. Said Mr. MI.
neklshi to a Tribune reporter: "Ouf
present aim IL TO make our country
! men remain satisfied with the manner
OF labor, amount OF pay and treatment
they are having now. We will advise
them that the time Is not opportune "a

things OF like nature. We shall in nc
way antagonize employers and w
shall be always willing to mediate be-
tween the employers and those en-
ployed Misunderstanding are gener-
ally easy to adjudcate II people will
only go about them in the right way.
[ find that many little friction has
taken place in the labor field of Hawaii
owing to Understandings. Once a
misunderstanding Is cleared my coun-
trymen are easily satisfied"
Asked as to whether the Union
would undertake to furnish laborers,
the above gentleman said: Our Union
Is not In existence for that purpose.
We will, OF course, be able to make
recommendations In the selection, etc,
of laborers. We may undertake to
have orders for laborers pass through
our Union, but we shall not go beyond
this, and will in our turn pass orders
on to labor agencies. Tribune.

Hilo WornaL,s Board.
Last Saturday noon the ladies of the
Woman's Board gave luncheon in one
of the stores in the new Spreckels'
Block. The room was very gracefully
decorated with palms, ferns and bam-
BOO. Small tables, decked with fine
linen and dainty china, with the home
Ike chafing-dish in the near back
ground, rendered the scene more at
ractive still. The menu was simple,
but delicious, and consisted of dishes
which everybody appreciated.
After the luncheon was over, the
treasurer, Mrs. Severance, found that
he society was the richer by $50. The
money Is to be expended on home be-
evidences; especially for the Free
kindergarten. which is accomplishing
o much for the children of Hilo. and
he Sewing School, recently establish
d bv the society in the Waiakea River
district.
The ladies, under the leadership of
heir president, Mrs. Kelsey, deserve a
great deal of credit for the smoothness
md precision with which the luncheon
went Off, and for the pleasure they
gave the public.-Tribune.
San Francisco Plague.
Having successfully guarded against
plague while it existed In Honolulu,
he people of Hilo will have to take
teps to keep the disease from crawling
n via goods from San Francisco. For
tunately the disease is confined to the
'hinese quarters there, and as but few
FOODS are imported by Chinese from
heir countrymen at the Coast, the dan
'er will not be great. But quarantine
must from necessity be enforced ac-
'ording to federal laws of the United
ttates, and merchants who depend up
IN getting goods promptly from the
'oast will be disappointed. Until the
''sease is stamped out twenty-one-
day quarantine will be the rule. In the
eantime Hilo merchants can return to
heir first love, Honolulu-Herald.
