LABOR AGITATION
COMES TO HEAD

At mass meeting of japanese which
packed the Asahi Theater last night
the following resolutions were adopted
by acclamation:
Whereas, In the development of
the Hawaiian sugar industry, the Japa-
nese have contributed 20 per cent of it's
labor force;
Whereas, Slxty-nine cents day for
the plantation hands is an inadequate
reward for the laborers' toll under the
tropical sun in the cane bushes;
Whereas, The present wages sche-
dule is framed upon a misconceived |
principle, fitted for a coolie laborer or a !
laborer in condition of semislavery, I
but utterly untitled and unsuited for
dignified and self-respecting labor;
Whereas The prices for laborers'
daily necessities have advanced at least
% per cent. since the present wages
schedule was adopted;
Whereas, The number of married
men and children has rapidly increas-
ed;
Whereas, Decent, respectable houses
should be provided for the married
| men;
Whereas, That although the church
es, chapels, temples and schools have
increased, their number should be still
more increased and the physical and
spiritual qualities have necessitated an
| l.. h. Lob
! therefore, be 1t
Resolved, By the Japanese mass
meeting, held in the Asahi Theater
this 9th day of December, 1908,
"That the principle of wages gov
erning the wages of the plantation
hands be entirely changed from one
| governing the coolies wages to that
governing that of dignified and self
respecting labor, so as to enable the
| laborer to rise from the level of coolie
to the dignity of laborer conscious of
high responsibilities as a member of
free community;
"That the present wages should be
Immediately increased to a sum above
at least $22 so per month of twenty
six working days, and the wages of
the women be correspondingly increas-
ed;
THAT the Wages Conference pro-
posed by the Higher Wages Associa-
ton should be Immediately held be-
tween the said Higher Wages AssOcia-
ton and the planters;
"That a copy of this resolution be

Mcpherson was. on the ground doing
business when Thompson erected his
hotel, he naturally felt Thompson was
an impostor, so he brought suit for
the sale of the property on which the
well was located, and at the same time
asked for an injunction restraining
Thompson and his guests from using
the water.
Circuit Judge Baker ordered the sale
of the property, but refused the injunc
ton on the grounds that the property
on which the we'll was located-some
two acres-had been decided to the pub
lie by the original owner, and the
claimants failed or refused to show
that this deed was not then in force
The well, including two acres, was
sold at public auction and Thompson
became the purchaser at 81, 545.
In the meantime G. w. Mcpherson
sold his hotel to his brother, DR.. U. w.
Mcpherson, who still continued the
hotel e
AS Mr.. Thompson had become sole
owner of the well, he did not care
to divide his water. so brought suit
against DR.. Mcpherson and his guests
to enjoin them from using the water
and at the same time asked for an in
junction, to be effective until the suit
was decided.
To-day Judge Baker decided the case
in DR.. McPherson's favor and the pub
lie in general.
The basis on which the decision was
made was the original deed, which
decided the property TO the public, and
which, according to opinions, cannot be
changed.
In summing up this last legal bat
tie, which was fought out by able at
torneys on both sides in the Metcalfe
Circuit Court. it seems from opin-
ions rendered that the well, regardless
of who owns it is free to the public;
in other words, Mr.. Thompson paid ST.,
545 for the privilege of having deed
to the we'll. with precisely the same
rights to control he had before.
Sixty-eight' years ago Ezeko Neal

this sulphur well. The water soon
gained a local reputation for its cura-
tive properties and ere long its fame
spread out over the State and soon it

Judge Cress at the Courthouse.

Judge w. R. Cress, Democratic
Elector for the Eleventh Congressional
District, spoke to small but attentive
crowd of people at the courthouse last
Wednesday. Judge Cress is forceful.
and being well posted on tie issues
dividing the two great political parties,
made his speech very entertaining. The
Democrats especially were exceedingly
well pleased with his exposition of the
rottenness of the Republican party.
In the outset he stated that from his
reading he was ready to state that the
prospects for Democratic success were
growing brighter every day, and that
he believed that Mr.. Bryan would be
elected. He dwelt at some length on
the tariff and trust questions, and proved
beyond a doubt that tariff was nothing
more nor less than an exhoritant
tax, and that the large trust companies
were organizations of men. who were
banded together to rob the poor. The
speech was Thoroughly Democratic, and
we are sorry that the courtroom was
not full of voters to hear it.
