BUT EIGHT HOURS

mined To Enforce Their
Demands.

The knights of the fat brush are
on a strike.
Honolulu's housepainters won't work
over eight hours.
Eight hours for daubing, eight for
sleep, and eight for meals and luaus
say the color artists.
Warning was given Honolulu some
weeks ago that on and after September
4 demand would be made for an
eight-hour working day, and that en-
ployers who refuse to grant these de-
mands must not hope to employ union
painters.
Several employers said nay. The
Moana Hotel, for whose identifying
Lucas has the contract, was imme-
diately bereft of union men, as the en-
tire force walked out when they were
informed that they must continue to
labor nine hours.
Other employers suffered likewise.
and there are several buildings in I'M
finished conditions of painting on this
account. Last night the Painters IN
ion of Hawaii held a meeting, and after
some discussion, determined to stand
by the strikers and to enforce the
eight-hour day.
There was a disposition on the part
Of a few to postpone strikes until No
vember. and thus give the employers
who had taken contracts under the old
system chance to finish their work
but the majority were for immediate
action, and their opinions prevailed
There are about 200 painters in Homo
lulu, and six out of the ten shops have
granted the demands, The painters
from the Coast are paid from SO to SO. 81
day. while natives, Chinese, etc, get
from 81 up.

There is a lesson to be learned
from Mr.. Dukes life. What is it?
1t teaches that difficulties. opposi.

bullets the water with lusty sinews

resists his muscle. The bird scars
only because the invisible air re-
sists the smitings Of its pinions.

The symbolism Of all earnest
living and striving is wrestling

stances, and it is in the struggles
Of the wrestling that skill and
strength are won.
Do we learn valuable lessons
only from these who admire us
and are tender with us and stand
aside for us? Do we not learn
great lessons, as Whitman says,
from those who reject US and brace
themselves against us. or who
treat us with contempt or dispute
the passage with US?
The hero Of Aeschylus was

the hero Of to-day IS one who
never yields, who conquers circum.

failure and wrests victory from

The first tobacco he manufac-
tured, was branded "Semper
Idem," always the same).
He had not been engaged in
manufacturing this tobacco long,
before the Blackwell Company in
stituted suit against a party in
Virginia for Infringement on their
patent, as they claimed the ex-
elusive right to this trademark of
Durham Smoking Tobacco
Mr.. Duke then manufactured a
brand of smoking tobacco known
as the Duke of Durham. The
trademark OF which represented a
full fiedged Duke, a Duke in uni
form. He manufactured this
brand successfully until the year
1874. AT that time his father
moved his manufacturing business
to Durham, bought Il steam engine
and resumed work on an improved
scale.
1t was then that Mr.. B. l. Duke
Joined his father in this business,
The introduction of a steam engine
and simple machinery was a great
stride from the process of manipu'
lating smoking tobacco in use at
that day; when the tobacco was
beat with trails and then seived
by hand.
In 1879 his business and that
of his father, both manufacturers
of smoking tobacco, was consoli.

Watts was at this time admitted
as partner. The manufacture Of
smoking tobacco was continued by
this firm until 1881, when they
commenced the manufacture of
cigarettes. In 1890 the American
Tobacco Company was formed,
when all the cigarette factories
were consolidated under that
name.

boyhood days were spent upon
rented farm.
AT the age of sixteen, he en-
tered the Confederate States Army.
He turned the scales at So pounds,
and this being under the regula.
ton weight, he was honorably
discharged. He reached home
May 3, 1865. His father was at
that time a prisoner in the hands
of the yankees. Rather than be
idle, he engaged to work with his
uncle For this service working
as a hand on the farm, he re-
ceived six barrels of corn and
three barrels of flour for his years
service.
The next year, 1866, he moved
with his father TO their old home
stead. They procured a pair of
old army mules, and started to the
eastern part Of the state, peddling
tobacco. The proceeds of that
load of tobacco gave him a few
dollars. That fall he and his
father sowed a crop of wheat, and
then resumed the peddling of to-
bacco together.
The manufacture Of tobacco was
carried on with his father in a
very modest way, during 1866
and 1868. The following year he
left his father, after he had ex,
hausted all his persuasive powers,
to induce him to move with him
TO Durham. The population Of
the village then numbered not
more than one hundred inhabiD
tants comprised in about ten heads
Of families; the only survivors
today are Messrs. William Man
gum, A. NJ. Rigsbee and J. Y.
Clark AT that time, land located
on what was then Main street, in
the neighborhood Of where Gen.
J. S. and DIR. A. g. Carr now live,
could have been purchased for $50
an acre; the same land now would
sell for $4,000 per acre, If put on
the market.
He bought an old two.story
dwelling house, consisting Of two
rooms, one above the other. The
lower floor was used as his fac.
tory, while the up stairs room was
used for the double purpose Of a
bed room and storage for his leaf
tobacco, upon which he slept, for
want Of q more comfortable rest
ing place.
In this same house, he cooked
his frugal meals, consisting Of fried
bacon and ash pone or hoe cake,
and sometimes molasses instead Of
cSfIee or tea, his only beverage
was the pure unadulterated ale Of
father Adam-branch water. The
severity Of his life was in point Of
privation and hardship second
only TO that Of the Confederate
soldier.
