WONT SUSPEND ALIEN LAWS.
WASHINGTON, April 32.-The sugar
trust was given : body blow by the
House today when It refused TO sus-
pend for s period Of SIX years the
operation Of the alien contract labor
law in Hawaii. The purpose Of the
suspension Of this law was 10 permit
the sending Of foreign labor there 10
work the great sugar plantations. The
bill came from the committee on i'm
with = favorable report. It
was advocated by Jonah K. Kalsniana-
ole. delegate from Hawaii. He said
that the lsborers were needed there to
work the sugar plantations Repre-
sentative Bonynge Of Colorado said 1t
would result in the flooding Of the
islands with eontrset japanese snd
Chinese lsborers. As there was no duty
on sugar from Hawaii, the sugar in
terests in this country would be sub
jeeted to an unfair competition.
