MUCH BAD POI

Commissioner E. B. Blanchard yes
terday submitted his report on the
poi factories of Honolulu In this re-
port it is stated that in not one in
stance was a clean factory met with,
The poi is said to be manufactured
under filthy conditions, in many in
stances, by half-naked Chinese who
signally fail to observe the sanitary
laws in any way.
Even in the cleanest factory Wis
tied there was plenty of room for
improving the methods of preparing
the poi, and steps will be taken i'm
mediately to warn those concerned
that if they do not remove the pre-
sent causes of complaint, prosecu-
tons will be sure to follow. The
work of bringing the factories into
line will be done gradually.
