NEW JAPANESE STEAMSHIP LINE

The organization of the new steam
ship company formed by the Shippers
Union has been announced in Osaka.
Thus far there are 81 owners, and their
ships aggregate 100000 tons, but it is
expected THAI there will be considera-
BILE additions when all the names have
been sent in. The capital is fixed at
20 million yen, of which 10 millions
will be regarded as the value of the
ships and other property already held,
and the remaining 10 millions will be
devoted to shipbuilding. The vessels
constructed hereafter will be from
5000 to 5000 tons, and will be in ac-
cordance with designs by the best ex-
perts. 1t is stated that the services
opened will be to Formosa, Hokkaido,
Java, VladIvostok, North China, Hong
kong, Manila, and Hawaii. These lines
will be maintained with the vessels
already in the possession of the com
pany, and the new ships will be en-
ployed ON services to America, the
South Sea Islands and India.
1t will re observed that the new com
pany ranks next in point of size to
the Nippon iusen Kaisha which has
fleet of 262,479 tons, and above the

gregates 1l5,200 tons.-Report Yokoha-

The Labor Question.


fools. When annexation came and it
came on our side only because we were
agreed that we had better take chances
on labor than lose cur market, our
planters with faulty that simply
staggers the onlooker, resolved quite
unanimously and so informed Congress
that they must be allowed to retain
the contract system; then they took
the stand that they simply must have
Chinese laborers, conceding only that
there should be limited number Then
they claimed that they should be ex-
empted from the obligation imposed
upon all other sections of the United
States of shipping their products in
American bottoms, etc, etc.
OF course, none of these requests
were granted, the result merely being
to give the Hawaiian planter an un-
desirable reputation at Washington; no
worse one really than he deserved, for
the planters policy in these matters,
as in the matter of labor, has been
due not only to unworthy and selfish
motives but also to failure to COM
prehend American lines of thought and
the impossibiIity of discriminating by
law in his favor under the political
institutions of our adopted country.
We have made the foregoing com
ments not in a spirit of fault finding
but as prelude to the suggestion
that if our worst fears are realized
and Japanese immigration is indeed for
us thing of the past, We should not
sit down and sulk and abuse Congress
and the Federal Government and an
nexation and what not for our plight,
but bear in mind that much Of the
fault is due to ourselves. Half the
battle in adjusting ourselves to these
unfavorable conditions, if they come,
will lie in the spirit in which We ac-
cept them and take hold to seek
remedy. Until we know definitely just
what is in store for us and in just
what way legislation or a treaty is
to be framed, it would be premature
to discuss ways and means; but that
much can be done to lessen the inn
pending trouble, we firmly believe, and
we are assured that the country will
continue ultimately to progress, not
withstanding the trial that seems be-
fore us. "where there's will there's

The purpose of the bill is evidently
not to weaken the present law, but to
secure its enforcement with some re-
gard to civilization and international
good manners. 1t aims to put an end
to the locking up for days and weeks
of eminent Chinese scholars or officials
in company with coolies in filthy de-

equally insulting to the travellers and
unworthy of the American people. 1t

Chinese of whatever rank who visit
this country with inhumanity, but this
is approved by no intelligent or fair
minded American in any walk of life.

also demanding that the Japanese be

be broken. This may be good politics
