As 70 the question whether Or not
white Americans yin work in the
cane fields. all depends upon the in
dueements held out to them Tor such
service. In the days Of black slave
labor in the South white men would
not work IN the cotton fields, even the
poor whites Of the mountains Of east
Tennessee. northern Georgia and
western North Carolina declining to
work in cotton fields, although they
would perform other manual labor
Just as hard and some OF it harder
than toll in the cotton fields. As con
ditions now are in Hawaii with Chi
nese. Japanese and Porto Rican labor
ers in the cane fields white laborers
would very likely revolt at the con-
dltions. but let it become known
that the importation of laborers, such
as have been poured into this Terri
tory. is to cease and that the white
man is TO be favored with an ulti
mate opportunity of securing some OF
the public land now under lease to the
large corporations. and there would
be no question about securing whit,
men to labor in the cane fields. worl
in the cane fields Of Hawaii is not
nearly so enervating as work in the
cotton or corn fields OF the Southern
States of the Mississippi Valley and
white men who work there would
gladly come here if there was an
opportunity for them becoming land
holders.

accidentally in the bilge in the bottom

Labor in the Hawaiian Islands.

Labor in the Hawaiian Islands.
From San Francisco Bulletin, Aug. 8.
1t appears from recent Washing
ton dispatch that the needs of the Ha-
waiian sugar planters are to be urged
as reason why the American labor
market should be thrown open to
Chinese immigration. Mr. A W. Ro-
denberg. who visited the islands for
the purpose OF putting the civil ser
vice law into operation. has returned
to Washington charged with the idea
that the future agricultural develop
ment of the islands will be greatly re-
tarded unless some provision is made
to supply the sugar planters with Chi
nese laborers. The Chinese. he SAYS,
are the ideal sugar plantation work
ers. They are better workers than
the Japanese or the Portuguese, and
berg continues. Il am informed that
a strong effort will be made by Hawai-
ians at the next session of Congress,
when legislation on the Chinese ques-
ton will be made necessary by the
expiration of the Geary act, to have a
clause in the new law providing that
Cinnamon may be brought from China
to the Hawaiian Islands under con-
tract to do purely agricultural work
for a period not to extend ten years.
when they will deported"
OF course the Hawaiian sugar plan
ter feels, if he does not think, that
the chief duty of the American legis-
lator is to look after the interests Of
the Hawaiian sugar planter. To fur
Their this purpose he would like to
persuade Congress that at the expi-
ration of their ten years contract the
Chinese laborers would pack up and
return to China. But people who have
seen the desperate struggle Chinese
laborers make to get into the United
States are lacking in confidence in
their readiness to leave the country
when once in it, except with some
kind of a certificate that will enable
them to return
The Hawaiian sugar planter can
get along il he does not have ideal
labor on his plantation. His sugar
comes in competition with the beet
sugar OF California. which is largely
the product of free white labor. He is
relieved from the 40 per cent duty
which the sugar from Cuba and from
the Philippine Islands has to pay un-
der present tariff schedules. This
saving in the way of duty should
enable the Hawaiian planter to pay
wages that viii secure pretty good
class of laborers. The fact that
the sugar industry in the islands
is exceedingly profitable does not en-
ter into the question.
There is no disposition in the United
States to deprive the island planters
of legitimate profit. but. on the other
hand. the American people will pro-
test against a subordination of their
interests to those of the islands.
Farmers engaged in the cultivation OF
sugar beets are denied the privilege
OF importing low-priced labor. and as
their product Is sold in the same mar
ket as Hawaiian sugar. there is jus
tice in the protest against the en-
Dlovment q cheaper labor in the isl
ands than is allowed 10 enter the
United States.
