MECHANIC labor VIEW

Editor Evening Bulletin:-ln re-
gard to the labor conditions on the
plantations, 1t is a known fact that the
plantations must have cheap labor OF
they cannot keep on a paying basis.
The editor of the p. c. A. says the
whites and Hawaiians do not protest
with him. beg to differ. They do.
But they are willing TO. sign prop
osition TO allow the plantations to have
all the Chinese, but not japanese, they
want for plantation work, on the condi.
ton that the plantations will discharge
all Asiatic skilled labor such as block.
smiths, carpenters, engineers OF all
classes sugar boilers, painters, and all
other skilled labor, and employ only
Hawaiians or whites for such work,
By so doing they can get from 5000 to
10000 to sign such a proposition. 9th
erwise, there will be just SO many
sign against 1t.
As to the labor unions on the Coast,
when they see that the skilled labor Is
protected, ! don't think they will make
any protest. For they VIII know that
the mechanics on these Islands know
best what is wanted.
If law is passed at Washington al

tation does employ Asiatic skilled la
Dor they will be liable to fine OF ncN
less than 800 nor more than $500 fol

As to the Chinese going to the Coast
that can be stopped right here by i'm
posing a fine upon any captain who at
tempts to take them. The Chinese
should not be allowed to remain OF
these Islands unless he works on q
rice or sugar plantation.

ALABoR SUGGESTION.

The suggestions made by our CORE.
spondent, Mechanic. bearing on the
Chinese labor of the plantations are
worthy more than passing attention.
The author Of the communication in
presenting II to the Bulletin remarked,
I'VE are all of us mixed up in sugar
Some of us have stock and we don't
want this to become worthless paper"
Coming from a skilled mechanic, 1t
shows that there exists in many quar-
tiers a spirit OF compromise, an honest
desire to work out the problem with.
out serious injury to the plantations or
the independent, BODYBUILDING, hard.
working Americans. II the planters
who believe Chinese labor to be an alb
solute necessity can secure the cooper
alton of labor unions, practically All
the barriers to favorable legislation
would be swept aside. And, what is
more, the chances for obtaining such
legislation are very small unless this
cooperation is secured.
An appeal to or from even a Sena.
torial Commission would have very at
tie effect on the Federal Legislature
unless supported, or at least not OPP
posed, by the labor organizations OF
both the Territory and the Mainland,
Organized labor is the principal ~.
sponsible factor in all exclusion leg.
islation and will continue to be. A
practical movement on Hawaii's part
to secure any amendments to present
laws must include a vigorous endeavor
TO convince the laboring classes of the
justice of our request, and furthermore
show a readiness to bestow special
consideration to skilled American and
European labor.
The proposal to exclude Japanese is
not only not practical-it is impossible
while Japan retains her position as a
friendly nation. Requests for special
favors in connection with the Chinese
immigration are considered doubtful
expedients by many on account of the
possibility OF stirring up antagonistic
legislation on other lines. II the plant.
ers, however, are ready to make spe.
cial concessions to skilled labor in the
mills and throughout all departments,
1t cannot fail to create a better i'm
preston among a class OF citizens to
whom all national policies are finally
appealed. A fair exchange is no rob
berry.

made the round trip in that steamer.
Mr., Kennedy stated this morning
that the trip had been entirely too

steamers generally have to contend
with on the Hawaii coast. The water
was perfectly smooth and the weather
such as is seldom experienced. Mr..

The first three or four years the flow OF
money was all one way-out The dredges
were kept at work, however, night as well
as day, and little by little the water was
coaxed into deep channels and confined
there. AS the outlet was opened this great
mass Of water began to move out slowly
and the center of the great morass grad
ually gained a degree of solidity. After
the water was drained off, however, there
was yet great deal Of work to do be-
lore the soil could be turned with the
plow. 1t was several years before the first
5,OOO acres was under cultivation and be-
lore there was any return, but gradually
the cultivated area has increased. Last
year 1900 acres were in cultivation. This
year it will probably run to 10000 Still

ONE FARMER BUILDING RAILROAD

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, April 26.-One Of
the most novel railway enterprises in the
world is being conducted by an Indiana
FARMER. B. ]. Clifford is constructing a
slXty-mlle railway that will connect his
great S2,0OO-acre swamp farm in Jasper
county with Chicago, and enable him to
run solid trains of produce into the Illi>
nois metropolis.
Gl1ord is the greatest farm proprietor
an the Central West; not a mere land
lord, but an actual farm operator. OF
Nhe Sz,VOO acres he owns in Indiana, 1900
are already under cultivation and the
Value OF the crops runs from S250,0OO to
S350O00 year. Giffords home is in Kan
kakee, and he was born in Northern IIli-
noIs Twelve years ago he got the idea
that there was a fortune to be made in
Teclain.ing the Kankakee swamp lands
and, although he had little capital he
has accomplished wonders.
In 1880 Clifford bought from Judge
thompson and others of Rensselaer, s, coo
acres IN the heart of the morass. When
he offered them S. for every acre of the
water and black ooze, they lost no time
IN selling, congratulating themselves that
they had found a sucker" Since then
IIIe value OF every one of those 5000
acres has been raised from IS to a point
where the owner has refused offers of
500, and some of $125, because it is worth
more 10 him in working out his extensive
scheme. After closing for the first S 900
acres, Clifford began reaching out on both
sides Of MIN, picking up thousand acres
here ard thousand or two there until
he now has the very heart Of JASPER

kakee river itself, nineteen miles south;
an aggregate of $1,000 acres all in one
tract Recently he has been figuring with
Nelson Norris, the Chicago packer, for
the purchase of the latter's -22 000-acre
tract now used for grazing purposes. In
absorbing this. Clifford would have some
thing over $4,000 acres of the richest soil
in Indiana.
AS soon as he had closed for the first
5000 acres. Clifford began. shipping in
dredges He had to ferry the machinery
to the islands where he built the bottoms
and put them to work digging their way
cut. 1t was found that by taking ad-
vantage of drop of eleven feet to the
southwest, between the Kankakee and
the IrOquois he could drain into the lat
ter river and get advantage of a fast
running current. This has been the Sc
cret OF his success. For ten years the
dredgeS have been opening the great wa
terways-Inain canals as wide as the Chi
cagO drainage canal-With smaller main
canals reaching out from them, aud
smaller ones from them, and gradually
reducing themselves until three-foot open
bitches cut up the great acreage into ten
or fifteen-acre patches. He has 200 miles
of great canal ways. twerty, thirty and
even forty feet across, carrying, in sea-
son, enough water and depth, in which
to market his crops Holland fashion If he
so desired. The mileage of the smaller
bitches would run up into dizzy four fig
Ures. The soil that has thus been exca-
waited to the depth of fifteen or twenty
feet, has been pushed back over the
land, raising it clear of the water and
defining the banks sharply. This, in a
nutshell, has been the system for the en-
tire great work and il will take ten Or
twelve years more to complete it,
From the scrub oak island in the morass
Clifford has cut timber enough for the
framework for 160 two-story farm houses
and outbuildings, 100 barns fer these tene-
ment homesteads, eight district school
buildings, a half dozen great store barns
and granaries, and a good percentage OF
the ties used in his railroad construction
also came from the knobs. Aside from
this he had enough smaller timber to pro-
vide fuel for tenants, and though there

HAVANA, April 26-At Mazonillo the
American flag was hauled down Thurs
day and the Cuban flag hosted in its
stead. The American post was abandon
ed. All troops embarked on the steam
ship Seguranca by way Of Newport
News for Fort Robinson, Neb.. and i'm
mediately after the Cuban flag was hoist
ed By the captain al the rural guards
An important conference has been held
between President-elect Palma and sew
eral generals who participated IN the late
insurrection The meeting was held at
the request of the president-elect to OBJ
tain the views of former Cuban soldiers
on the question of pay for their services.
The president-elect is opposed to pay
ing the army Immediately. His propo-
sitiOn is to give first attention to the ag-
riculture of the islands. BY fostering this
industry he argues, will be obtained the
wages of the army. The constitution Of
Cuba ana the Platt amendment provide
that the budget and interest Of the insu-
lar debt must first be taken care Of from
loan that would be negotiated.
Gen. Palma said that it must first be
determined who is really entitled to be
paid, which means an overhauing Of the
rolls. The amount now asked is about
$SO,000, coo, which is considered far too
much.
