SITUATION IN HAWAII
Great Industrial Depression
on the Islands.
LOW PRICE OF SUGAR
LABOR IS SCARCE AND WAGES
HIGH.
Members of Senate Subcommittee Re-
turn to Frisco After Thorough
Investigation.

SAN FRANCISCO, October limited
States Senators Burton of Kansas, Eos
ter of Washington and Mitchell of Oregon
have returned from the Hawaiian Islands,
where they have been on tour of investi-
cation as a subcommittee of the Senate
committee on Pacific Island and Porto Rico.
They were accompanied by ex-senator
Thurston Of Nebraska. Speaking Of the
work Of the subcommittee Senator Mitchell
said:
1--WE spent twenty-five working days in
the Hawaiian Islands, twenty of which Gn-
GLIDING also many night sittings) were oc-
cupied in taking testimony bearing upon
the several subjects committed to us for in
vestigation.
1--WE visited four of the principal islands
Of the territory, Oahu, Hawaii, Maui and
Molokai also the cities of Honolulu, Hilo,
Lahaina. Mountain View and several small
er towns. and took the testimony of several
hundred individual witnesses of all classes,
some at all Of these different places.
Reports of Commercial Bodies.
Eve also had the reports of various COM
mercial bodies and kindred associations.
mo matter connected with the relations
Of the federal government of the islands
was ignored by the committee. Special at
tention was given to the labor questions and
the claims of Queen Liliuokalani for the loss
of the crown lands and the annual revenues
from the same. Special attention also was
was given to the question as to the advisa-
bility of so amending the organic act to
require the organization of county and
municipal organizations and much testi-
mony was taken on this question.
AS yet said Senator Mitchell, the COM
mission has had no opportunity whatever
to discuss any of the subjects into which
we have been inquiring, much less to come
to any conclusion in regard to them. as
We will not take the same up for consider
alton until we reach Washington. probably
early In November. Beside, it would be
quite improper, even had we reached any
conclusion in regard to any Of the subjects
of inquiry to make them public before sub
hitting the same to the full committee and
the Senate.

Found Industrial Depression.

cit may not, however, be improper to
refer to the present industrial conditions
Of the islands. Contrary to the conditions
Of great commercial and business prosper
ity now prevailing on the mainland
throughout the United States, we regret to
be compelled to say that we found the
islands in state of very great commercial
and industrial depression, caused, it is
generally claimed, by the low price of
sugar and scarcity and high price of labor
In concluding his statement, Mr.. Mitchell
stated that spirit of harmony character
lied all the proceedings of the subcom-
mittee, the members Of which were shown
every consideration by the people of the
islands.
