JUST A BIT OF SATIRE.
Federation of Labor Asks for the
Prayers of the Presbyterian synod.

CHICAGO. June Prayer from the Pres
byterian Assembly and from preachers of
every religious denomination was requested
for the success of the eight-hour work day
by the Chicago Federation of Labor at Il
meeting here to-day. The federation
formulated a telegram to the Synod now
in session at Pittsburg. and the secretary
was ordered TO send the message tonight.
II this dispatch the Synod was reminded
that such scoring of labor unions for
meeting on Sundays would be necessary If
the hours Of labor were shortened to the
union STANDARD of eight hours day, and
that the Chicago Labor Assembly invited
the Synod and religious workers through
out the country to inaugurate vigorous
campaign OF prayer for the success of the
eight-hour movement.
From the declarations of President Bow
man and other speakers favOring the send
ing of the message, 1t was apparent that il
was intended bit of satire amounting
to rebuke to the Synod for the criticisms
recently uttered against union labor on
the floor of the religious assembly.

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1901-08-05

The question of land titles which is
occupying SO much of the attention of
the courts is one which was sure to
come up. Not only has there been con-
siderable looseness in conveying and
accepting land, especially among Ha-
waiians and among their intimate
friends, but the early surveys were in
accurate. and many estates overlap one
another This will give rise to consid-
cradle litigation. The proper way to
deal with the matter would be to es-
tablish a commission for settling these
difficulties, and that was what was con-
templated in 1898 when the initial steps
were taken by Representative Robert
son. but you might as well have got
a commission to settle the land titles
of Mars as get one, that would be if
any use, out of the late Legislature of
the Territory of Hawaii.
