Executive sessions were the order for
| the concluding day of the annual con-
vention of the Hawaiian Sugar Plan
| ters' Association.
Yesterday morning the experiment
station was the subject OF discussion.
A proposal to erect sub-stations on the
| other islands. so as TO cover climatic
and soil variations more effectively
than can be done at the Honolulu main
station. received at least favorable
consideration. Whether or not such a
pan was definitely adopted has not
been divulged. Fq'|N.seg N' So
At the afternoon session the para
mount labor question was upon the
boards. This, having been the primary
object of the organization at It's be-
ginning about a quarter of a century
ago, has always been a leading topic
at the annual conventions
1t may safely be presumed that the
disposition of the labor settlers from
the Azores and Madeira coming in the
steamer Suveric as well as of the
Philippine Islanders coming in the
Doric, figured largely in the discussion.

young and aggressive man at the head
