ABrusks, the 14.months old

@~Brusks, the 14-mohths old
child of Mr. j A johnson Of the
the Newcut section, was seriously
burned Sunday afternoon by its
clothing catching afre. 1t is
supposed that it pulled burning
splinter oat of the stove and set
lire to its clothing. When observ-
ed by It's mother the child was
enveloped in flame. Mrs Johnson
quickly ran to it and 'smotbered
the flames by wrapping her own
clothing about it. DIR Sapp was
summoned and is attending the
little one. There is slight hope
for its recovery, the burns on it's
breast being the most serious.

cept as fgurehead. and to prove
what 1 say in this case that Mr.. White
house is not the only man that is act
ing in the same capacity in putting IN
bids for HackfeId & Co, and they as
the real contractors.
If Mr.. Holloway wishes to find out
whether Hackfeld & Co. are the real
contractors, let him ask the painters,
the sheet-metal workers, the electric
workers. etc, if they do their figuring
for their different work with anybody
else besides Hackfeld's people or Iheir
foreman. Mr. Rowland could have
found out all about this matter while
he was here if he had wanted to.
Now. as to what he has to say in re-
gard to the citizen labor clause and as
to my charges. 1t must be remember
ed that the first part of that clause
reads as follows: NO Asiatic or Jap
anese labor to be employed on or about
the work or in any manner whatsoever.
either as manufacturers. 1aborers.
skilled or otherwise, or as suppliers OF
material.
Now, in the name of common sense,

l would like to ask if that is not
plain and simple, and it will be remem-
bered that in my charges that I did
not simply state (as Mr.. Holloway
seems to wish it understooD that the
japanese We're dressing lumber for that
building; but I did state that the Jap
anese were manufacturing (straight
out and ouD material for that build
ing. Mr.. Holloway admits that it is
better not to nail bridging between
Jolsts until after the floor is nailed but
In some cases, he says, the floor is so
low that they can't nail it after the
floor is laid. He had better left that
unsaid, for such talk as that must be
laughing stock for any mechanic that
reads it. Now to enlighten Mr.. HoIlo-
way and his so-called competent in
spectors. / would like to ask him and
them if they can conceive any way to
properly nail the bridging except from
underneath. Anybody that knows any,
thing at all about such work knows
that is the only way such work can be
done. Right here l wish to call attan-
ton to the construction of the tie
beams, being put together with a butt
joint in roof over drill floor The
plans distinctly call for a 3-foot splice
keyed together (Which was proper) and
there are many other things that I have

ehIHely incompetent mani? Now. NAV
L ask, Is 1t to favor these contractors
or because of their ignorance in this
me OF business? It may be for both
reasons, for II looks to me like chill
dren play all the way down the line,
from the superintendent of Public
Works TO the contractors-guessi
what they want to do and guessing
how to do il. I can see where these
contractors will make a saving for
themselves or somebody else of nearly
ii not quite, $500 by being allowed to
do the work the way they are doing or
by not following the specifications. If
that Is the way they are doing other
government work. is it not time these
matters We're being looked into?
And in the name of justice. I ask.
Is 1t to be wondered at that they are
running short of funds to do our need
ed pubic improvements, when We have
men that are drawing down big SAL
aries, who are not doing their duty,
but letting work go on in this loose
shod way? Now, I want to ask Mr..
Holloway, if his plans and specifca-
lions call for too good a building and
If he really thinks that he can reduce
the expenses and make a cheaper
building, why he does not make said
changes according to a long article in
the specifications Under the head of
Changes" and thereby save for the
government the sum of $500, which I
claim could be done by the way the
building is being constructed. For in
stance, I claim that they are saving
(by not following the specifications at
least $3.50 on the roof alone above the
rafters. I would like to ask if they
do not intend to have them live up to
the specifications, what is the use OF
having any specifications at all? And
if Supt. Holloway does not know what
is put into the specifications he surely
is not paying attention to his business.
II he does not know what his duty is,
a carpenter can and will tell him what
his duty is. In the first place, let him
be sure that his plans and specifica-
lions are right and then let him see
that all contractors live up to them
and next, when anybody prefers
charges to him against anybody not |
living UP to the plans and speciffca- |
tons and offers to give proof of mis- !
charges, that it is his duty to call for |
that proof. And when he appoints an |
inspector for any such work as this |
let him appoint man who has some |
practical ability and not have man |
that has absolutely none at all.

DEADLY PARALLEL.

First. 1.-The facts, as understand
them, are these: In the specifications
for the construction of the Hilo armory
appears the following clause:
| mo Asiatic or Japanese labor to be
employed on or about the work or in
| any manner whatsoever either as
manufacturers, laborers, skilled or
otherwise or as suppliers of material.
Any violation of this will be sufficient
for the cancellation of the contract and
forfeiture of any moneys that may be
due the contractors; and all materials
on the ground shall be the property of
| the government.
1.-The specifications go much further
than authorized by the so-called Citi-
zen Labor Law, viz: Act 81 of the
laws of 1908, and there is some ques-
ton as to how far you can bind con-
tractors by a restriction not author
lied by law Even, however admit
ting the legality of the specifications,
do not believe the case in point
would come within said restrictions.
If you can interfere in this matter,
you can go further yet and ascertain
what class of labor cut down the trees
from which the lumber is made, who
delivered the lumber to Hackfeld &
Co, and so on, until it would become
an absurdity.''
DEADLY PARALLEL-SECO
May break contract.
"The Attorney Generals Department
this morning gave an opinion to the
Board of Health that it had the power
to break the contract made with the
Enterprise mill for supplying lumber
to the MoIokai settlement if it was
found that in the handling and manu-
featuring of the lumber labor other
than that of citizens was employed
These two cases are deadly parallel.
