ALIEN LABOR AND
SUGAR BOUNTIES

The Anti-Kanaka legislation of the
Federal parliament involves inter ALA,
a ridiculous position concerning those
of the colored alien races who have Sc
cured leaseholds, and are working
these holding on their own account. In
the Tweed Diver districts there are
seVenty-One Pacific Islanders working
their own holdings, and the question
has arisen whether these aliens, sup
posed to be debarred by the Act from
working a all in the sugar fields after
certain period, can claim the bonus
from "white-grown' sugar. The Attor-
ney General of the Commonwealth
Government has replied that a Kanaka
sugar-grOWer can claim the bonus pro-
Vided he employs white men to do the
work. On the other hand white su-
gar-grower employing a Kanaka to do
the work is not entitled to the bonus
1t would be interesting to know the
result regarding the bonus were a
white sugar producer to form com
pany of Kanakas. This company Of
Pacific Islanders, according to the To-
gic of the Federal government, would
be granted the bonus if they employed
white labor; but it would be refused
were the Kanaka syndicate to employ
any of their own kind as laborers. The
whole legislation in respect to the ques-
ton of cOlored alien labor is an inter-
mixture of absurdities, reminding us
of the fact of a certain Chinese hotel
keeper in Western town, during the
shearers great strike. This Chinaman
had one of his COuntryman as cook
and when the strikers insisted upon
the cook being discharged, the willy
Chinese hotel-keeper did the cooking
himself. y Kanaka sugar-grower
could discharge his brother Kanaka;
but would he be entitled to the bonus
if he did the work himself? White
men can work for black man; but are
not permitted in turn to employ black
men.-Western Pacific Herald, Fiji.

Details of KembIa Disaster

SYDNEY. August IA dreadful col
lery explosion took place at the Mount
Kembla Colliery at WOllongong short
ly after o'clock this afternoon, at
time when there were some 23O men
in the mine The explosion. which was
caused by coal-gus ignitng resulted
in the roof of the mine tunnel COLLAPSE
ing and imprisoning the men. The cN-
plosion, so far as is known at present,
killed 81 men outright. So far as can
be learned over 100 men managed to es-
cape after the explosion, leaving be-
tween 50 and 80 men still entombed.
The peaceful and picturesque town
ship of Wollongong was thrown into
state of great excitement A terrific
report was heard, as if thousands of
pounds Of dynamite hal been exploded,
followed by a sharp movement of the
earth. The windows of houses ratified,
and the crockery ON the kitchen dress
ers shook as if it would fall. For a
moment the people in WollongOng
stood wondering what had happened
People instinctively rushed out of
their houses and gazed towards the IL
lawarra Range, in which the Mount
Kembla. Mount Keira and Mount
Pleasant coal mines are situated. There
was a feeling that some dreadful dis
aster had occurred in one or other of
the mines. Many expected to see some
sign in the magnificent mountain pic

OARSMEN PRACTICE-

The boating crews are hard at work
in the harbor for the September regat-
ia. The races will include barge races
for senior, intermediate and freshmen
crews, and for junior pairs. The pro-
gram is arranged by the regatta COM
mittee, Parke, johnson and Taylor in
cluded a race between four cared
crews in the old lapstreaks This will
be eliminated. At present the crews
for both clubs are practising in the
harbor. The third crew which was
spoken of has not yet materialized and
is possibly waiting for the return of
Prince Cupid. The senior Healani crew
rows at present as follows: Jarrett,
stroke; Renear .; McDufiie, 4; Muir
ray and Eugene Allen, 8; Hebron 2;
and Boisse, bow. Fred Damon is now
back and will probably go into the
boat. Two freshmen crews are at
work AS there are only two barges
available the freshmen row alternate
nights and the seniors also row every
other night. The Myrtle crews are not
yet determined upon, but are rowing
steadily every evening.

CANADIAN SERVICE,

LONDON, August S-The House of
Lords adjourned today to October 10.
In response to inquiries just prior to
the adjournment as to whether the
Government was taking steps looking TO
the establishment of British Atlantic
steamship service after the absorption
of the British lines by the American
combination Lord Onslow, Under Colo
NAL Secretary, said the question of a
new Canadian service had nothing to
do with the American combine.
Certain proposals had been submitted
to the Canadian Government, but the
latter had not informed his Majesty's
Government of their purpose or asked
assistance. The question of the estab-
lishment of a British service, however,
was receiving the earnest attention of
the Government. If such a line were
established it would be necessary to
come to Parliament for money, and
then complete details would be given
out. 1t would be unwise at present to
communicate the negotiations.
AS indicated in these dispatches yes
terday, the announcement made in Bel
fast of an arrangement by the Ad-
miraTty and the Morgan shipping COM
bine was premature. Negotiations are
still proceeding and it is believed with
every promise of success.
In the House of Commons this after
noon Premier BalfOur said the Govern
ment had been engaged in negotiations
connected with and arising from the
circumstances connected with the for
nation of the shipping combine.
unfortunately, We are not yet In a
position to make a statement to the
public" said Balfour, the accident TO
the Colonial Secretary Mr. Chamberlain
having caused some delay, but | am
confident that when the House meets
again we shall be in a position to take

would account for the great noise and
earth tremor but nothing could be
seen to indicate that q dreadful Catas-
trophe had occurred. All doubt was
very shortly removed by a telephone
message received at the Wollongong
post office. 1t was a brief statement
to The effect that "a dreadful explosion
had occurred i'm he mine, and that 1t

tombed. At once there was a great
connection. especially amongst those
who had relatives working i'm the tun-
mel, In a few minutes vehicles with
people in them, also horsemen, were
hurrying towards the mine.
At the tunnel mouth a terrible scene
of devastation was pres ented to view.
All the buildings, including the Office,
engine-hOuse and every other building
in connection with the Colliery had
been blown into an unrecognizable
mass. The entrance to the main shaft
was a complete wreck. Gangs of men
were set to work to clear away the
debris for the twOfOld purpose Of en-
abling the rescue parties to get into

one lay killed or injured under the
mass of timber and rocks strewn
about.
The general impression is that the
explosion was du" to gas. The remark

Gently died at Lisbon and left her entire
property to a rooster" She was a fer

migration of souls, and imagined that
the soul of her dead husband and en-

cial fowlhouse to be built and ordered
her servants to pay extra attention to
their masters wants. The disgust
of her relatives over the will caused the
story to become public, and a lawsuit
might have followed, had not one of
the heirs adopted the simple eXpedient
of having the wealthy rooster killed,
thus becoming himself the next Of
