IMMIGRATION BILL
Will Come Up Early in this Session
of Congress.

Among the economic questions
before Congress, the immigration
bill is the first one on the calendar
that will come up for considerat on
at this winters session. 1t is re-
ported from Washington that the
question of the protection of An er-
can labor against the pauper labor
of Europe and Asia anu of the
maintainance Of higher and more
rigid standards limiting the influx
OF foreigners into this country is
recognized as one that clnnot long
er be lodged. So bitter was the
controversy over the matter in the
last session, and so sharply was
the division Of opinion drawn be-
tween the House and Senate
that it is still far from being
settled what the outcome will be.
Other bills that may come up
are to limit working hours of rail
way employees, the anti injunction
bill, the eight-hour bill, the bill to
establish postal saving banks, and
the bill to retire superanuated
postal clerks.

ization and the replies received
from many indicate that the effort
will be succ assful.
Bishop Henry 9. Potter, of New
York City says that he regards the
Welfare Convention at the James
town Exposition the proper thing
and that he will be glad to lend his
efforts to make such an event a
success. James O'ConnelI, Presi-
dent of the International Associa-
ton of Machinists, John Mitchell,
President of the United Mine
Workere of America, w. 8. Stone,
grand chief of the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Engineers and scores
OF others have endorsed the move
ment and promise their aid in max
ing the convention a success.
The purpose of the National
Civic Federation is to bring about
an educational movement toward
the solution of some of the great
problems related to social and in
dustrial progress; to provide for
study and discussion of questions
OF national import: to aid in this
way in the crystalization of the
most enlightened public opinion,
and when desirable, to promote
legislation that will accord.

leadership in thought and action
makes them typical representatives
of the various elements that volun-
tarily work together for the gen
eral good of mankind. Its execu-
tive committee is constituted Of
three factors; the general public,
represented by the church, the bar,
the press, the craftsmanship and

large manufacturers and the heads

by the principal officials of nation

There are useful organizations of
farmers, manufacturers, wage-earn-
ers, bankers, merchants, lawyers,
economists and other distinct but
interesting elements of society,
which hold meetings for the discus

pursuits and callings- The Feder-

specific purposes, provides forum

they have common interest.

TWO GREAT BROTHERHOODs
FIRST Time in History Of Organized
Labor that Religious Society
Is Represented.
Our feld-the world.
Oar cluSe hum luity

1t was an inspiration to march
with the three hundred or more
delegates at the Minneapolis Con-
vention of the American Feder-
alton of Labor us they proceeded
to the convention hall behind the
banner which bore these words.
The presidents report and the
spirit OF the meetings rang true to
The motto. 1t was the spirit Of
sacrifice and of service, with Just
enough of the sh ut Of victory tc
keep up ones courage. There
were some discordant elements,
true enough, but eveu these, ana
lyzed, indicated a measure of that
for which labor's brotherhood of
service stands.
During the progress Of the CON
vention l slipped down to INDIAN
apolis to address the newest organi
cation in the Presbyterian Church
the "Presbyterian Brother
hood" This was it's first conven-
tion, with the choicest representa-
1lv.s from every city in the land
over 1000 strong. But Tomlison
Hall was packed at nearly every
session, packed with men WHO
came because Of their interest in
this new organization. even though
they were not honored by being
sent as regularly accredited dele
gates.
Across the stage was flung
banner which carried the motto:
"Service in Brotherhood AsI
spoke tn that great audience of
nearly 1900 men on "The Church
and Labor" 1 was thinking of
the convention in Minneapolis, and
my message was delivered in the
spirit which I had caught there.
How well that message was re-.
ceived others may tell, but out of
the cheering and the emotion
which it brought forth came
greeting which 1 was instructed to
carry back to the labor convention.
1 reproduce it here:
'"The Presbyterian Brotherh ood,
in its first convention at Indian
apolis joins with the Brotherhood
OF Labor as represented i'll the
American Federation of Labor in
convention assembled in Mime
apolis in devotion to the ideal of
life given by the Great Master.
''1f any would be great among
you, let him be your servant. For
even the son of man came not to
BE- ministered unto, but to minis
ter''
This was probably the first time
in the history Of organized labor in
this country that SO important a
religious society sent a special
representative to convention of
labor's greatest body with fra.
ternal greeting. It is significant
that this representative was also
received by the American Fedora
ticn of Labor as fraternal dele
gate from the Presbyterian De-
partment of Church and Labor.
This is sign of the times. 1t is a
prophecy of the day when men
will learn that only as the spirit
of brotherhood and of service pre-
walls will there be anything like
a solution of the vexa tions prob
lens in the social and in the in
dustrial world.

D1PTHERIA IS SPREADING.

In consequence of the develop
ment. of three new cases of dipther-
la in the last week DR.. r. II.
Dinegar made a thorough inspec-
tion of each child in the different
schools in Wailuku on Monday of
this week and ordered the schools
of town and the one in Kahului
and in Waihee closed as precau-
tion against the spread of the dis
ease.
While there has been several
deaths resulting from the disease
and several new cases have develop
ed there is not so much danger
from this dread disease as former
ly when the death rate was ex-
tremely high.
DR.. Dinegar and other physicians
have secured a large supply OF
Anti-Toxin, the most effective COM
battant of diptheria. Since the
discovery of this remedy the death
rate has been greatly reduced, fall
ing from sixty per cent to about
fourteen per cent.
AS the children in the tropics
live most of the time in the open
air and in the bright sun shine
there is much less danger of con.
tracing the disease here than in
the temperate zone.

PLANTERS MEETING.

The Planters Association held
their annual meeting in Honolulu
last week with large and repre-
sentative number of members pre-
sent. Several members of various
committees, however were not pre-
sent tor which reason there were
fewer committee reports than
usual.
Mr.. J. N. S. Williams took up
the subject of denatured alcohol
but owing to the absence of Presi-
dent, H. p. Baldwin, nothing de-
finite was decided upon in the
matter nor will there be until after
his return.
The secret session TO consider
labor and other matters of great
importance to the plan: :ers was
then held but following the Gus
tom of former years the delibera-
tions are not made public.
Vice President F. A. Schaefer
presided at the annual banquet at
which one hundred persons were
present. He offered q toast to the
President which was replied to in
a very happy manner by Governor
Carter.
The toast to the Governor was
replid to by w. o. Smith who
alluded to difficulties and hard
ships of the position and to the
robust and sterling qualities of the
present incubent after which three
cheers were given for the Governor

A Disinfec tant Plant Received

Government physician r. H. Dine
gar has prevailed on the Board OF
Health to furnish a formaline gas
generator and appliances for disin-
fecting purposes. The plant was
received this week and will be found
OF great service to the public in tho
roughly disinfectlng such houses as
have had diptheria patients and other
patients suffering with contagious
diseases.
Such a plant as the doctor has
secured is badly needed just now and
should have been supplied years age
and kept on hand for just such cases
as we now have in various parts Of
the island.
After patient, suffering with a
contagious disease, has occupied a
room the health officer will close every
opening and make the room as nearly
air tight as possible and then insert
the gas tube into the key hole and
turn on the gas under eighty pounds
OF pressure and then leave the room
closed for a period of at least twelve
hours after which time the room may
be occupied with perfect safety.

JAPANESE PUBLISHERS TO AN
SWER CHARGE OF LIBEL.

Honolulu, Nov "a 4.-Dr. Uchida,
who until yesterday had been the
head of the japanese Medical Asso-
citation and the physician in charge
of the japanese hospital, has a
rooted aversion to being called a
"quasihuman pig" especially in
print. And when his name is
coupled with that of "scoundrel, !"
and "bill dodger," he seems to
have fair gounds for his aversion.
The expressions in question ap-
peared in the issues of the Jap
anese Daily Chronicle of October
26 and 2S and form the basis of
the charge of criminal libel institu-
ted by DR.. Uchida against Kimura
and III. Tsurushima, the editor and
manager of the offending sheet.
The cases came up yesterday be-
fore Judge Whitney, Judge Gear
appearing for the prosecution and
Judge Humphreys for the defense,
the two defendants being commit
ed for trial at the Circuit Court,
bonds being fixed at 800 apiece in
each of the two cases tried.

newspaper which a short time ago
advised the sending of a japanese
fleet to Hawaii to teach the inn

Mikado. 1t has published at vari-
Gus times other refreshing articles
in its English columns and 1t APP
pears that its articles in japanese
are equally to the point. That is
if the paragraphs referring to Dr.
Uchida are any index to the gene
raj trend of its columns.
"Look here, you quasi human
pig" says the Chronicle in draw
ing the doctors attention to what
it has to say. "We will subjugote
you, writing and writing, until the
backbone of you, fool, is broken
down and until our belly is healed.
The blade once unsheathed, we
will not sheath it again without
something accomplished"
All of which goes to show that
the Chronicle believed the pen to
be mightier than the lancet and
also goes to show that someone on
the Chronicle was mad. The cause
of the wrath was some remarks
made by DR.. Uchida at a recent
banquent, in which he took occa-
sion 20 ridicule the Chronicle and
its editor. He did not know that
he was drawing the lightning by
these remarks, for making which
he is said to be meaner than man
who lodges his drink bill or re-
fuses to pay his subscription. That
he is at the head of the Medical
Association and is allowed to
"strut the streets with assuming
airs is an evidence of the weak
ness of society.
This appeared in the Chronicle
of the 26th, and the editor follow
ed up his threat of writing, writ
ing" on the 28th, when he con-
tinued his Register of Grotesque
Vaporings," which he used as his
headline. In this article he at
tackled the professional standing of
Dr.. Uchida, who had mot a single
convincing thing in him, either in
respect of his character or in his
ability"
"When we reflect that such a
creature is the president of the as.
sociation and the superintendent
of the Charity hospital we cannot
help feeling our shoulders as his
compatriots pressed narrow" The
pain had evidently passed by this
time from the belly into the
shoulders of the Chronicle.
"He has killed dear little one
of the Yamashiro-ya," continued
the writer, "by running over him.
