FUSS OVER VETO.
The Governors veto Of the bin re-
lating to annulment OF marriage. di-
! vorce and separation came UP Tor &C
ton.
Dowsett could not see how the Sem
ate could intelligently consider the
veto without having the bill before 1t.
McCandless said the House had al
ready sustained the veto and enter
tanned another bill on the subject. The,
only thing for the Senate to do was to
sustain the Governors veto.
Achi thought that was a wrong way
because the House had sustained the
veto then the Senate must sustain It.
Maybe the Governor was wrong. He
believed the Governor was wrong.
Dickey, after Dowsett had explained
the Governors objection. said IL the
House had sustained the veto the ac-
ton of the Senate would, not amounts.
to anything. ~
We passed the bill just as the House
did" Paris said after McCandless and
Achi had each spoken again. 1--WE
ought to know our own action. The
Governor vetoed it as we passed It
here. What Is the use of haggling over
the matter any longer?"
On call of the ayes and noes the veto
was sustained, IA to /, only Achi voting
to pass the bill notwithstanding the
| veto.

/ teen members.
LABOR BILL PASSES.
House bill 40. to designate the pay
OF laborers on public works, did not
have such a smooth course.
Bishop moved to add "and 25 cents"
after one dollar" Achi renewed an
amendment lost the previous day to
make the pay $1.30 day in Honolulu.
over the islands were satisfied with
one dollar day. 1t should be remem-
bered the bill did not make the wages,
but only fixed a minimum rate. One
dollar was considered big wages. The
plantations were paying only $1S a
month. Leave 1t at dollar as It stood.
They had no right to make a difference
between Honolulu and the other is
lands.
McCandless said 1t cost people in
Honolulu more to live than people in
the country. Country people did not
spend anything for water or for wood.
lodgings were dearer In town.
Paris was looking out all he could for
the working man, but at the same time
he did not feel like binding the Gov
eminent down to pay not less than a
certain amount. The Government la
borer had to work but eight hours a
day, against or 10 or IL hours of
labor on the plantations. One dollar
was fair. They could not employ Asia
tic labor
Achi considered that from the stand
point OF the country members, the pro-
posed rates would be very good thing.
1t would give the people in the coun-
try so much more benefit from the loan
money.
The amendments were rejected on
show of hands and the bill passed by
the following vote:
Ayes-Achi, Brown, Dickey, Gandall,
Hayselden. Hewitt, Isenberg, Kalama,
Paris, Wilcox, Woods-11.
Noes-Bishop, Dowsett. Lane, Nc
Candless--4.
