Dear Sir:-The Builders q Traders
Exchange of this city is an organiza-
ton of employers of labor and dealers
in materials.
\ We take the position American civil
ization and social standards must bs
sustained in all possible avenues.
The entire capital OF the Territory
of Hawaii is directly or indirectly in
vested in the production OF sugar, or
dependent thereon.
This capital cannot be destroyed or
transferred into other industries with
out extreme consequences to the popu-
lation.
The white man cannot, and could
he. will not labor in the cane fields.
Unskiiled agricultural labor Is prac-
ticaIIy abandoned TO the Orientals.
An effort to induce Congress to
grant the Territory OF Hawaii the priv
ilege of importing Chinese for use as
unskilled field and agricultural labor
only for stated periods and subsequent
deportation would receive the endorse
ment and support OF this Exchange.
Such employment betters the condi-
ton OF the Chinese and they occupy a
place In commercial economy the white
man cannot occupy.
