The Chronicle still insists that white
men can work in the Hawaiian cane
fields. So they can-but they won't!
Time and time again, the effort has
been made. not only on a wage plan
higher than that which farm laborers
average the year around in the States
but on cooperative basis, and yet
the white man stands aloof. He will
not, he. says. do "coolie work any
more than the Southern white man in
the cotton and cane belts will do mig
ger work" The Chronicles theories ON
the subject are excellent but experience
with the labor problem In Hawaii cries
them down.

that low prices get cheap men. one
reason why high Office on the main

NAY C0NFISCATE BEEF.
GOODS UNDER SHIPMENT Ma y
BE SEIZED.
RAILROAD OFFICIALS ARE ALARMED
AND HAVE MADE A CHANGE
N FREIGHT SCHEDULE.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRiBrNE.I

Chicago. May I.-Immediate request for a
temporary restraining bill and an indication that
the government may ask that goods under ship
Tnent be confiscated is the programme 10 be fol-
lowed by the federal authorities in their assault
upon the beef packers.
A semi-officiaI statement was made at the
office Of the United States District Attorney to-
day that the bill against the packers would
probably be filed early on Friday. The confis-
cation clause, which it is hnted has been incor-
porated in the bill, grows out of the mysterious
relations existing between the packers and the
railways and the intimation that the Attorney
General proposes to force the issue on the con-
fiscation clause of the Sherman Antitrust act
has caused alarm among the packers.
United States Attorney Bethea returned here
from Washington to-day. He declined to say
what changes had been incorporated in the orig
inal draft of the bill. and automatically evaded
queries to the possibility Of criminal prose-
cutions growing out of the filing Of the injunc-
tions against the alleged Beef Trust. Aside from
admitting that the bill being printed in
Washington. Mr. Bethea was non-communica-
tive. Judge Day is expected in Chicago to-mor-
row, and will have the injunction petition with
him, ready for immediate filing.
The packers are waiting for the government to
act but they are not holding conferences nor
legal consultations. Their attorneys say that
the case is one in which prepare
defence until the federal bill is filed and its
contents are known. John s Miller is preparing
10 enter the fray. and with counsel for Armour.
Morris. Swift Hammond and others, will ap-
pear in court the instant the bill is filed Mr..
Rethea has announced that he VIII notify them
of the day and hour that they fight the
governments request for immediate injunc-
tion IL they so desire Whether they will do
so or not none Of them will say. Should they
agree to temporary restraining order. they
say it would not necessarily mean that the
packers had decided fight the issue. on
lowing the precedent Of the railway companies
when the government went after them a few
weeks ago.
The railroad officials have taken alarm at the
new features Of the bill. and have made
change of schedule, TO take effect July |,
when the rates in force prior to June of last
year will again he established. This means an
dred pound package of dressed beef for local
transportation and a similar advance on
through traffic.
Next week the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion intends to take a hand in the beef investi-
cation. The commission will in this city
and take up the charges made by the Chicago
Live Stock Exchange. That organization al
leges that beef and other products Of the pack
souri, River TO Chicago for 1slz cents. while the
live stock rate is 23i5 cents The railroad Off
Gals deny that this discrimination has been
