Contending that the American sug-
ar Refining Company owns the prin-
cfpal refineries in the United States
and is almost without competition in
refining sugar, Mr.. Clay declared that
the duty on refined sugar almost pro-
hibits the Importation Of foreign
sugar into this country He said that
the beet grower and the cane grower
Of sugar both are compelled to sell
TO the sugar trust at the price which
it fixes. Comparing the wholesale
price of graduated sugar in Ham
burg and in New York. which he said
was 2.31 cents per pound cheaper in
Hamburg, Mr.. Clay figured that the
American consumer pays a difference
of sI36, 00O, 800 for it's refined sugar. OF
this, he said, the government gets
$50. 900, 600 in customs duties, while. he
said, the sugar trust gets the other
$50. 600. geo

HILO HOTEL TO BE REOpENED
BY DEMOsTHENES LYCURGUs
lie Has Bought the Property for Sum Ap.
proximatng $2O,OOO...DeaI Put Through
by Henry Waterhouse Trust Co.

Tourists viii no longer complain of
the lack of hotel accommodations in
Hilo for Demosthenes Lyeurgus has pur-
chased the Hilo, Hotel and will imme-
diately begin improvements and reopen
the place as a frst-class inn for the
accommodation of transient and perma-
nent guests. Negotiations were CON
Quoted by the representatives of Mr..
Lyeurgus here and w. G. Irwin, repre-
senting the Spreckels interests.
The building was constructed about
eleven years ago after the original Hilo
Hotel, presided over by Joseph Vierra,
proved too small for the accommoda-
ton of the people who visited Hilo.
The old house stood on the site of the
present hotel and was once the resi-
dence of the late King Kalakaua, when
he visited the town. The Spreckels
had bought it and when a boom was
foreshadowed by the construction of a
boat landing at Waiakea, their agents
were instructed to have plans drawn for
a hotel that would be a credit to the
town. The result was a two-story build
ing with a row of cottages on either
side of the lot. Even with the addi-
tional rooms supplied by the new struc-
ture there were not enough to meet the
demands of the people who happened
along on the steamer which arrived
once in ten days The cottages were
so inviting to the local people that they
were preempted and many of the best
rooms in the main building were taken
by Hiloites so that it was not long
before there was the old complaint of
no rooms for tourists.
The first lessee of the hotel was a
man by the name of Grant, now resi-
dent of Manila, where he is engaged
in the electrical business. Grant was
at the same time manager of the Hilo
Electric Light Co., and found the hotel
business did not work in with the bust
ness of the light company, so he re-
tired.

should come to this country free of
duty. but there ought to be a sub
stantial reduction over the rates fixed
in the Dinghy law"
Replying 10 the argument that
sugar is great revenue producer,
Mr.. Clay desired to know why one OF
the necessities of life, used by the en-
tire American people. should be taken
and its cost increased TO the consumer
one-half when, he contended, the
amount of the revenue now produced
BY sugar could easily be supplied by
an income tax.
Let us give to the American peo-
PIE cheap sugar" continued Mr. Clay
Let US grasp the sugar trust by the
throat and strange it to death, and
keep in view the interest. the happi-
ness. and welfare Of the plain people
of America. We must remember
that sugar is an important article OF
food daily consumed by every man.
woman and child in the country"
Saving that the American working
man. during the last few years, has
had hard time TO earn a living. Mr..
CLAY deprecated the fact that the
duty on refined sugar remains in the
Payne bill substantially the same as
it is in the Dingley law. He SAID
that the sugar trust had no repre-
sentative before the tariff framing
committees of either the House or
the Senate and added. Judging from

LODGING HOUSE OWNERS
COMPLAIN ABOUT AIDING
STRIKERS WHO HAVE CASH
Hawaii Maui and Kauai Delegates Will Confer
Today on General Strike---Makino
Is Still Boasting

Strike leaders of Honolulu s Higher
Wage Association will confer with rep
resentatives of the organization on Ha
wall, Maui and Kauai today, and ae
cording to Maxine, the arch,agitator,
the result may be the ordering of a
general strike on all the islands. The
Hawaii and Maui delegates are expect
ed this morning ON the Mauna Flea
On those rainy plantations where no
irrigation is required, no strikes may
affect the daily routine of work. But
all plantations which are irrigated by
japanese field laborers are to be in
volved in the general order. And yet
Maxine has disclaimed ordering strikes.
If the planters stand pat, Maxine
says that the strikers will take SINH
lar stand, and he says the latter will
win out Even if the plantation la
borers on the other islands do not
strike, Maxine says that when the
planters analyze the agitators system
the planters will find they themselves
are supporting the men who are on
strike In other words, Maxine will
levy assessments upon the laborers who
continue at work to support the strik
ers in idleness. He declares that by
keeping up this method, the strike can
be maintained on this island indef-
initely.
Maxine also declares that from the
strikers standpoint there is no change
in the situation as far as Honolulu
is concentrating the japanese are
determined to remain out until the plan
tiers come to their terms.
Maxine says the figures published by
the planters as the basis of wages which
the laborers are receiving on this is
land, are untrue. He claims that the
laborers only receive above $1S when
they work overtime.
"The planters say we are irresponsi-
BILE, we who are leading the laborers,
said Maxine "Why don't they find
out who we are before they take the
action they haves We know who all
the planters are, but they don't know
who we are. Do you suppose the jap
anese would have struck if they thought
we were grafters and Irresponsible No;

Causing delay of about an hour, the
engine of an o. R. & L. train, going
out to pick up strikebreakers, ran
off the track yesterday afternoon about
four-thirty. There was no one on the
train save the regular employees, at the
time. and there were no casualties The
engine was soon gotten back on the
track and, save for the delay, no harm
was done.

that many of the strikers have money

The Hawaii Shinpo supporters are
now more in evidence among the Japa-

Statement of e. d. Tenney.
E. D. Tenney, president of Waialua
and Eva plantations and manager of
Castle & Cooke, agents for both plan
tations, gave out the following state
ment yesterday on the labor situation:
"The cry of the agitators in connec-
tion with the strikes now in progress
is that $500 per month, the wages paid
the japanese, is totally insufficient for
the people to live on and far below
that paid to other nationalities. The
statement being untrue and the amount
named so far below the real wage earn
ed by these people, I have been tempt
ed to make a public statement setting
forth in some detail the facts of the
case in so far as the plantations are
concerned, with which | am connected.
'For the year 1908 the average
wages earned by and paid to the Japa-
pese men, women and children employ
ed upon the Eva plantation were $21.S0
per month of % days.
