SUGAR STOCKS
ARE BOOMING

Raw sugar has advanced to 40S and
The local stock marekt this morning
responded with boom such as has
not been seen for some time. Cable
grams from San Francisco show that
there has been an extremely strong
market there for local stocks and the
situation, caused in part by the an
nouncement that the officers of the
Higher Wage Association had given
up the strike, is one OF extremely
bright outlook.
On the local market Walalua was
the striking feature. making an up
ward jump to $10950, while $11O is
asked and sales at that figure will
come during the day Oahu went up
TO $32.12 1-2 and held strong at 5000
figure. Hawaiian Commercial went to
$S2.75 on the local market while ca
Diagrams from the Coast state that 1t
sold at $500 in large quantities. The
only stock 10 fall eff at all today on
the local exchange was Pioneer. which
sold at $1745O.
Practically all the brokers in town
received cablegrams from San Fran
cisco telling of the strong market for
local stocks. Hawaiian Commercial
ruled as the favorite there, jumping
from S32.62 1-2 yesterday TO S33 to-
day and closing at that price bid.
Other local stocks on the San Fran
cisco exchange also gained in price.
An interesting feature locally was
the sale of $4,000 of Hilo railroad bonds
for $97 an advance over any figure
obtained up to this time. The ruling
price has been 500, but with the high
prices of stocks the Hilo bonds are
coming in more prominence

ference" Negoro remarked III keeping
with his penchant for giving opin-
ions for evidence when the word is
taken in connection with the rest Of
the article its meaning is clear
enough
He said the word frequently appear
ed in Shebas paper the Hawaii Shin
pc. as well as in the Chronicle and
Jiji-in fact all Japanese papers. Com
ing down from the stand to search
the exhibits bokomotsu he took so long
in finding the first instance that Judge
De Bolt at first suggested and then
insisted that the research should be
conducted outside OF court hours and
the places the word appeared marked
for instant reference.
1--WE do our regular four hours
stunt in court" Lightfoot objected,
and there are other matters of bust
ness we have to attend to-" but the
court positively declined to be held
mp with the process in question.
Articles from the Nippu Jill exhaling
an aroma of sweet peace were then
introduced, Negoro being peremptorily
sat upon when he interrupted the
reading with an offer Of further dis
sertation on bokometsu.
| An article of April "a said that the
high wage discussion was not illegal
thai it was not illegal to strike that
was not illegal to collect funds for a
strike The paper had no hesitation
in offering aid to those who should
strike properIy-witness amending the
translation to get in the word pro-
perly. But you should not mix up
strike with violence" the article ad-
vised. I'VE wish YOU to understand
that strike does not mean violence.
Strike is what the law recognize,
an article of April 10 said. "The la
borers. but we wish to lay special EN-
wages, to consult on a strike; 2, to
choose strike committees; g. to raise
strike funds; A, to strike.
But they have no right to inJure
the property of the employer, or the
person or property of those who do
not strike
"As we have often said" the Nippu
remarked on May 10, "the strike is
not illegal. It is a weapon Of the la
horers, but we wish to law special en-
phasis on the statement that the strike
should not be mixed up with violence
especially as this strike at Aiea is
special model
should the Aiea strike bear good
fruit it will serve TO benefit the Ia
borers on all the plantations

bearing on the welfare OF the seventy
