II is hard to say how the sensational
Incidents Of the week have affected
business. The attempt to kill Editor
5heba may have had something to do
with the declaration of the Higher
Wage Association calling of the strike
on Oahu and Honolulu plantations, but
so far as the general public is con.
cerned, 1t had made up It's mind that
he strike was finished anyway. The
large interests were In a position to
carry on the harvesting and cultivation
on these two plantations indefinitely
As a matter of fact the announcement
)f the change In the Oahu dividend had
more to do with the strengthening OF
oahu stock than any declaration of
my wage association. The influence,
however, was felt in San Francisco
md the Hawaiian stocks were i'm.
mediately more In demand.
