CONTROL OF JOBS,

A move was begun i'm the Republican
Oahu county committee at the meet
ing on Saturday evening, i'm the direc-
ton of increasing the committees hold
on petty offices and jobs i'm the control
of the Board of Supervisors. Incident
ally, it is said to be the beginning
of an attack from within the party on
the Republican Supervisors, i'm the in
terest of men who would like to be SUI
pervisors old game of the outs
against the ms Supervisors Adams
and Lucas are the special targets of
the shots being fired, and two of those
named as men who would like to run
next time for their places on the board
are Jim quinn and n. Fernandez
For some time there have been rum
blings of storms to break over the
heads Of the supervisors, for not giving
and last Saturdays discussion was the
beginning of a campaign that is likely
to make the next meeting of the coun-
ty committee a warm one.
jim Quinn and Charles Hustace were
the leaders in the kicks on Saturday.
Hustace declared that he understood
that no person could get a job in the
quarry in the ninth precinct without
the recommendation of the chairman
of the ninth precinct committee, who
was Supervisor Adams, and was giving
out cards emitting men to jobs, and
was giving them only to ninth precinct
men. The sensation collapsed some
what when it was announced that
Adams had not been chairman of th4
committee for several years. A report
from the timekeeper was called for,
and it showed a majority Of the work
men to be from other surrounding pre-
cincts.
A resolution was passed asking the
supervisors for complete list of their
appointments, and it is expected that
the row will be on when that list comes.
Some of the members of the committee,
it is stated want to lay down the rule
that the committee shall be consulted
regarding every job given out. They
would like to have a voice in the hiring
and firing of even day laborers and or

binary private police officers, while the
supervisors have taken the position
that these are to be hired and fired at
will by the heads of their departments.
This was the understanding some time
ago. and the supervisors claim to have
followed their agreed policy of appoint
ing to salaried positions none but per-
sons who had the committee endorse
ment. The complainers, on the other
hand, do not concede this.
Supervisor Adams was asked this
morning regarding the card" system
which is said to be in vogue. Il have
never given any cards emitting anyone
to a job" he said. IF applicants come
to my Office, as they often do during
business hours, asking me to get them
a job, if they appear to deserve it, 1

ing him the bearer wants job and
asking him to give work if there is any.

with his running Of his department.

of the Board and he simply gives them
work if he has it and if he hasn't he
doesn't. l understand that Mr.. Lucas
adopts a similar method with appli-
cants. 1t is the only reasonable thing
to do
During the discussion on Saturday
Hustace made an appeal for keeping
the party together, and said that he
proposed to stand by the organization
and if defeated to go down with flag
flying. AS a response John Waterhouse,
chairman, appointed him to a vacancy
on the county executive committee.
The Territorial central committee al
so held a meeting. The changing of
precincts was discussed. The prevail
ing sentiment appeared to be against
any changes, but the matter was re-
ferred back to the executive commit
tee which at its last meeting favored
the Robertson plan for new precincts
