PORTUGUESE
MAY RETURN
A. d. CASTRO STATES THEY ARE
NOT WHOLLY SATISFIED WITH
MAINLAND CONDITIONS.

Hon. A. d. Castro, one of the prom
inent young Portuguese citizens Of IIo'
nolulu, and a member of the House OF
! Representatives of the last Legisla-
ture. returned this morning on the
Alameda from the Coast where he has
/ been for several weeks on business in
| the interests of the San Antonio So
ciety. Most Of Mr.. Castro's time was
spent in and about San Francisco, and
he did some good promotion work on
the side which he believes will bring
some results, besides transacting the
business of the society.
Regarding the eight hundred or more
! Portuguese who went to California
from here in the last six months, Mr.
Castro believes that in time from a
third to a half of them at least will
come back to the Territory, and that
| the experiences of those who have
gone away will act as a strong deter
rant to others who may have been
| considering leaving. FOR the most
! part a large part of these people now
in San Francisco, would be glad to
come back if their circumstances were
| such that they could. AS it is they
are slowly drifting back, twelve men,
two women and a number of children
arriving on the last trip of the Ala
media
Most of the Portuguese families, Mr..
! Castro says, are living in Oakland,
though some have scattered out into
! the country into the agricultural dis
tricts, but for the most part they are
not doing this. The work which they
are able to get in and about San Fran
cisco has been uncertain, and the rents
and other living expenses very high.
| The only thing that they see advan-
tage in especially is the fact that Jney
are able to get their children employ
ed in the factories.
Mr.. Castro spoke at a number of
meetings OF the Portuguese societies,
and met the greater number of those
who formerly lived here, personally,
At one of the meetings at which he
spoke in Fruitvale, a great deal of in
terest was aroused in Hawaii, and a
number of persons announced Cheir
intentions of visiting the islands with
a view to locating here.
