PLUMBERS STRIKE
. FOR So PER DAY

AS forecasted in the Advertiser of
April Gath the Journeymen Plumbers
Association had officially notified the
master plumbers that they will strike
on May 1st for an increase of wages
from SIS to Sc n day, according to the
resolutions adopted at a meeting held
a week ago last Friday evening.
The master plumbers, as was stated
in the Advertiser of the above date,
have determined To fight the demand for
the dollar increase. They posted the
following notice in their shops yester-
day morning:
This shop will not pay more than S.
for days worE to either foremen or
ourneymen plum bers."
This appeared IN the shops of twelve
master plumbers Two men at once
quit in the shop Of John Mott and by
tomorrow evening it is anticipated that
the entire force OF journeymen now
working, will walk out and make a
stand for their dollar a day increase.
The master plumbers will fight the
proposition stubbornly. They claim that
they cannot pay Sc a day to the men,
and point to the fact that the addition
al burden VIII have TO be borne by the
people who require plumbing done on
their premises, The master plumb
ers also state that 81 is a higher
rate OF wages than IL paid to any other
class of mechanical laborers.

W. o. Smiths Writes about Crisis

Editor Advertiser--ln an editorial In
the Evening Bulletin OF this date II is
stated:
THE Governor must assume the re-
sponsibility for the present legislative
blockade because. the majority and
minority parties having finally reach
ed a basis or understanding on which
they can work and accomplish some
thing, he plants his foot In the midst
of this short era of accomplishment
and refuses to allow it to continue"
This statement is so remarkable that,
If true the community should be in
formed Of the facts.
AS a citizen, and one who has had
some experience, both In legislative
eminent, / deem 1t in the public inter-
est to challenge the truth of the fore
going statement, and to express con-
demnation of the tactics and plans fol-
lowed by the Independent majority In
the Legislature, and their advisers and
defenders.
The incompetence manifested by the
majority of the Legislature is appar-
ent to all. The attempts to show dis
respect of the authority of the Gov
ernor. and thereby (under the circum-
stances) of the president of the United
States, which has been repeatedly in
dicated during the present session has
not, I believe, originated with the ma
tive members.
True Hawaiians are gentlemen. They
are dignified and courteous, often set
ting a high example for others.
Following ill-considered and vicious
advice. the majority in the Legislature
have brought about result for which
they, and their advisers, are alone re-
sponsible.
At various times in the past the
community of these Islands has had
to meet issues caused by the lead OF
irresponsible, self-seeking or evil-mind-
ditions thus caused have been most
serious, but each time the issue has
been met.
The sentiment of the great majority
of the intelligent people of these ISL
ands has been, and is, in favor of hon
est and efficient administration of pub
lie affairs. Very few have had per-
sonal ends to serve, except only as the
promotion of the public welfare has
been for individual benefit.
This sentiment has been potent in the
past, and will prevail in the future.
The attempt to hold the Governor
responsible for the present ridiculous
condition of affairs in the Legislature
cannot commend itself to the intelli-
gence of the community.
Silence would seem to have been mis-
interpreted, but there Is an Irresistible
public sentiment in the community or
these Islands which will rebuke dis
honesty and arrogance.

THE GOVERNOR
Z e. SEES BRIBERY

Governor Dole was seen at his resi-
lence on Emma street last evening and
made the following statement concern
ng the charge of bribery made by him
yesterday morning against the Legis-
allure, and referred to in the Bulletin.
rhe Bulletin says:
1t was at this point that the Governor,
speaking in the Hawaiian tongue. stated
| that he knew bribery had been carried
on during the present session-members
| of the Legislature had accepted money
t. do certain things during the session.
II stated" said the Governor, that
I had received information which l
could not ignore that bribery was ex-
tant in the Legislature; and that this
reason was sufficient in itself for my
refusal to grant the extension asked
for.
II said that the Government hoped
to get sufficient evidence to bring pros
ecutions. but did not know whether
lit could,
This report as to what Mr.. r. N.
Boyd said, is not correct. The Bulle-
tin reports Boyd as follows:
Governor, this is a most serious charge
you make and 1t is one that every man
OF honor among US wants to see proved.
You say you know that bribery has been
carried on. Now, then, we are very anx-
ious to know and We want the names OF
the men who have been bribed and the
circumstances of such bribery In order
that We may report to the Legislature
and in order that punishment may irnme-
diately be melted out to the guilty ones.
"Mr. Boyd did not say that" said
Mr.. Dole. II think he said 1t was
most serious matter'-something of
that kind. He did not say what is re-
ported further. He said nothing ex-
cept that 1T was a most serious mat
ter
'As to this paragraph"
The Governor did a little clearing OF
the throat, glanced around the room, said
that such n thing was very hard to prove
and then branched off into another mat
ter that was about as far from bribery
as he could conveniently manage at the
time.
There Is no truth in that. l spoke of
the matter as one that would be at
tended to by the Attorney General II
sufficient legal evidence could be OBJ
tanned, and spoke Of bribery as difficult
TO prove, that was all"
