Representative Rattey has addressed a
communication 10 the Central Labor

ing his attitude on the bill introduced In
the legislature concerning unincorporated
bodies, which the labor unions OF the city
and state are neich interested.
AT the time OF the public hearing a num-
ber OF the labor men spoke. among them
President George f. Brady, and Mr. Rat.
tey claims that statement was made
placing him in an attitude toward the bill
that was not his. and that he was thus
placed in false light before the labor
unions.
Mr.. Rattey thought that the best way
TO square himself would be TO appear be-
fore the central body in person and ex-
plain his position. The Central Labor
union will act on Mr.. Ratteys letter at
It's next meeting.
Just what Mr.. Rattey's attitude toward
the bill Is cannot be learned, as he stated

PREPARE To
SHED COOKS
Chinese Commence the
New Year To-
Night.

Prepare to shed your Chinese cook
tomorrow. for Konohi will be on in full
blast at midnight tonight, and the
houhehold chefs will attend the grand
opening of the Chinese New Year.
There are always two days for the
commencement of New Years. One
element of the Chinese colony starts in
a day ahead of that set aside by the
a reception at the Consulate from u
to .. m. on Thursday This will be
public.
Chinatown is getting out it's holiday
clothes. The barber shops are open
late at night now, and heads are be-
ing shaver a la mode and pigtails en-
twined with new cord. Lantern man.
ufactures are busy, and the big, bal
loon-like lights, made of bamboo
frames and covered with shellacked-
gauze and brilliantly adorned with
painted flowers and greetings, are be-
ing turned out by hundreds. The max
ers of candles to illuminate these Ian
terms are working night and day
Big stocks of firecrackers, skyrockets
and punk are being laid in by almost
every Chinese in town. The humblest
taro planter is not so poor that he can
not buy a stock of fireworks candies,
nuts, red visiting cards a new suit of
holiday clothes and get head-shave.
The festivities will last until the end
Of the week.
Another feature of Konohi is that
every Chinese endeavors to pay up all
he may start the new year with finan- !,
cial bad luck.
