CAUSES OF :
THE STRIKE
Things the japanese at
Lahaina Asked to
Have Done.

In its report of the Lahaina trouble
the Maui News contains the follow
ing account of the conference between
the representatives of the Consul and
the striker, and the succeeding con-
ference between the Consul's represen-
tatives and a delegation of strikers on
one side and the representatives. of
the plantation on the other side:
Secretary S. Mort and Mr. Yama-
guchi representing Consul Saito, who
arrived on the Kinau, held confer
ence with delegates from the strikers
ranks and learned their side of the
story and what demands they would
make, the following of which are the
more important ones, but by no means
all:
That the laborers shall not be struck
by lunas.
Wages to be increased two dollars
per month right through.
Wages to be paid not later than the
tenth of the month.
Three more water pipes in the
camps.
More frewood and distribution of
same to the camp houses and not as
formerly in one pile at each camp.
Time of Ranawai limited do not
start later than 4:30 o. m.
I, Dismissal of four lunas.
= Investigation of the killing Satur-
day evening.
Whenever a 1aborer was to leave the
plantation he was to be paid that
same day and not be compelled to wait
the regular pay day.
Immediately following this confer
ence, which lasted well into the after
noon, another meeting was held in the
camp quarters between the plantation
representatives, Mr.. Klamp and Mana
ger Serimgeour, the representatives of
Consul Saito and some twenty dele
gates from the strikers ranks.
The conference was held in an up
per council room of the camp, while
the building and camp grounds were
black with strikers. Aside from those
above mentioned as present were High
Sheriff Henry and Captain Sam John
son and aide, who acted as stenogra-
pher.
AS the meeting was rather long
drawn out and no apparent Roadway
toward settlement was to be had,
word was sent to Captain Parker and
the militia to hold themselves in readi-
ness should there be any overt action
on the part of the strikers.
Finally, about $50 p. M, an under
standing was had, Manager Serimgeour
STIMULATING that he would meet their
demands on the water, frewood, pay
day clauses, would discharge Kyonoga
and the luna who was responsible for
the trouble, and concede one or two
other minor points.
An adjournment was then taken I'M
til z p. m. to allow the delegates to
confer with the strikers, the result be-
ing an acceptance of the terms of Man
ager Scrimgeour and an agreement to
go to work Wednesday morning. Dur
ing Tuesday the mounted specials and
company from Waikiki were re-
leased from further duty and sent

the motion to postpone action was not
debatable. McClanahan said il was,
and the latter then arose to appeal
from the chairs decision and he put
the question himself to the convention,
the vote by reclamation being about
equally divided. Chairman --Turrill
looked surprised at McClanahan's ac-
ton, but said nothing, while the spec
tators snickered and looked to see the
fur fly.
Then someone moved to adopt the
report. The motion to lay the report
on the table was taken UP amid a gen
eral ''gabfest." Emmeluth said he was
opposed to the ticket as named but was
in favor of fusion. Iaukea wanted to
know whether the party was going to
throw down its fusion committee.

ticket. In naming the ticket each

Honolulu the Home Rulers named a
man because We Democrats couldn't
find a man who would stand for the
position" The Home Rulers gave the
Democrats chance to name the men
for the offices, save the supervisors.
There came the rub. The Democrats
wanted three out of four. The Demo-
Gratis won out for the supervisor-at-
large. Mr.. Waller would not stand for
a position. Representative Democrats
would not let their names appear for
supervisors. TT came down TO an
equal vote on Efinger for supervisor,

HOME RULE CONVENTION.

Henry n. Baker says he was fired
out of the fusion conference in Mauna-
kea street Saturday night because he
was Brown man and a Republican.
Here is Bakers story:
THE Home Rulers have a meeting
tonight to see about ticket with the
Democrats.
..Umaumau was going to back up
Brown for sheriff. They would not
agree because the Democrats wouldn't
take Brown. as he is a Republican.
There were seven of each party
committee there and Kalauokalani, the
old man. was chairman.
Henry y. Baker, a Brown nan-that
is myself-made a point of order if
anyone outside the party could speak
David Motley jumped in and fired
him out because he was Republican
and a Brown man.
"Umaumau asked the chairman what
were the rules. that any Republican be
allowed on the ticket.
''Chas Motley said they might have
a citizens ticket as he asked them be-
fore.
.They agreed on Poepoe for sheriff.

can get elected.

LOOKS FOR sNow-UNDER.

Peter O'Sullivan said: IF you adopt
that report and that slate. you will
snow the Democratic party under for
the next seven years.
Then Prendergast said the time had
come to make monkeys or men Of
themselves. Prendergast. as a former
Home Ruler, said it was up to the con-
vention TO make good with the Home
Rulers.
Frank Harvey threw some hot lam
guage at the Democratic haoles who
would not allow their names to be used
on the ticket.
Emmeluth arose again to say that,
save the nonresident Mr.. Moore for
supervisor. there was really no repre-
sentation except Mr.. Watson for the
fourth district voters.
The motion to lay the list of candi-
dates on the table was lost.
a motion to adopt the report was car
ried.
A committee of three was appointed
to notify the Home Rulers the fusion
agreement had been favorably acted
upon. The chair appointed Harvey,
Emmeluth and Prendergast.

half being for the rest of the world.
History and biography come next.

are followed by fiction-not less than

Progress in Steam Turbines.

That the actual displacement OF the
reciprocating steam engine by the
steam turbine for many purposes Is
proceeding at a rapid pace in this
country is indicated in the statement
that a single company, manufacturing
but one of the several types of steam
turbines in the United States, took
orders within the last half year for
turbines for generating electricity hav-
ing capacity of $4,000 kilowatts. or
nearly 10000 horse power Three
of these engines are for a Brooklyn
power station and will be the largest
ever constructed. It is interesting to
note in this connection that wonderful
as is the transformation in power
mechanism, there are engineers who
predict still more radical change in
the not distant future in the develop
ment of power from gas engines. This
form of engine has been developed
to marked extent in Europe, espe
cially in Germany, and American ant
English engineers are just beginning
to awake to the possibilities in thi
direction. According to one author

and turbines sent to the scrap heap.
