yamated association asked the employers
for the Saturday half holiday and ar
increase of wages OF 10 cents an hour

AT the meeting of the Builders League
last evening a resolution was adopted i'll
forming the amalgamated carpenters thai
the association of employers would moi
oppose an increase III wages of. & cents
an hour next May, conditions Warrant!ns
such an increase. This will mean an al.

Many of the striking carpenters as
sembled at the headquarters of the
brotherhood OF Carpenters and Joiners
today and discussed the outlook. One OF
the officials of the organization said that
! q couple of firms of builders have con-
scented to give the half holiday with
hfty-four cents an hour. and their former
emoloves who had been called out We're

TO the owners of buildings now in
course of erection and those in prospect
who have made anxious inquiries about

work will be seriously retarded, the
master builders have given assurance
| that there will be no great delay. An
employer said this morning that unless
the striking carpenters return to work
! soon PROMPT steps will be taken to Sc
cure workmen. 1t was his opinion that
enough workmen can be gotten from
Baltimore Philadelphia. New York and

of the situation throughout and was only
in danger during one inning, when his
teammates came to the rescue with fast
double play. He allowed but three scat

In the eighth inning. when he snatched
one on the run off Taylors bat. he also

BUILDERS ARE FIRM
Declare They Will Not Yield to
Striking Carpenters.
MAY TRY TO FILL PLACES
Between Six and Seven Hundred
Workmen Now Out to Enforce
Half Holiday Demand.

Between 600 and 700 carpenters are on
strike today in this city.
The foregoing estimate was given out
at the headquarters Of the Builders
League composed of master builders.
The strikers are members Of the Broth
erhood Of Carpenters and Joiners. The
cause Of the walk-out was the absolute
refusal of many of the employers to grant
the demand of the brotherhood for
Saturday half-holiday. with an increase
of wages to cover the time thus lost.
The iourneymen carpenters demanded
that the half-holiday go into effect June
l., 1910.
The Builders League at meeting last
evening decided to stand pat against
any increase in wages at this time. The
organization expressed its willingness 10
grant the Saturday half-holiday the year
around If necessary, but deemed it In
expedient TO pay the Workmen more
money this summer and fall.
There will be no compromise" said
James L. Parsons. president OF the
Builders League, today. If the carpen-
tiers do not return to work soon we will
have to get other workmen to fill their
places We may have to go into the
open-shop movement and employ nom
union carpenters. although we would
ra Their have our old hands. We will not
recede from our position.

MOST STOCKS ARE
STILL QUITE WEAK

This has been another off day for
stocks. Haiku and Paia seem to
hold up and Hawaiian Commercial
pulled ahead somewhat this morning,
owing probably to rumors of fine re-
ports of the company made before

Between boards there was sale
Of five shares Haiku at $3.50, after
which $14S was bid for the stock and

stock of Haiku, S14S wkas also bid

20 and shares sold at $34, followed
by so shares at 3$4.125. On the
board this morning 6 shares sold At
the latterf figure, after which, how
ever, the stock was offered at S34.
The close was thus rather gloomy.
Between boards so shares Waialua

seemed to be fairly firm. This morn

All of the transactions in Hawaiian

Annual REPORT OF
HAWAIIAN COMMERCIAL
WHAT MANAGER BIGGEST PLANTATION HAD TO SAY
TO STOCKHOLDERS MEETING HELD SAN FRANCISCO TO-
INTERCHANGEABLE YEAR EXCEL
LENT PROSPECTS FOR FUTURE

The annual reports of the Hawaiian
Commercial & Sugar Company ar
rived in the freighter Nevadan last
night from San Francisco and were
received by Alexander & Baldwin this
morning. The report of the manager
which is of highly interesting char
acter, was as follows:
The water supply on the plantation,
excepting in November and during the
first part of December, was exception
ally good, but it was so cold during
the first four months of the year 1909
that the growth of the cane was con-
siderably checked.
CROP OF 1909.
The milling of this crop was start
ed on November 26th, 1908, and finish
ed June oath, 1909.
The fields of the 1909 crop did not
yield as much per acre as did the
fields of the 1908 crop, the 1909 fields
not being so rich as the 1908 fields;
nevertheless, the results obtained
were very satisfactory. From 6,345. 75
acres 52,725 tons Of sugar were bag
ged, making the average yield of SUI
gar, including both plant and rat
toons, 8 81 tons per acre. The juice
was unusually good, as is borne Out
by the fact that 9O2 81 pounds of su-
gar were recovered per ton of cane
CROP OF 1910.
Milling began on November Sth'
1909, which is the earliest grinding
ever done on this plantation.
Up to date 1920 acres have beer
harvested, with the result that 20.
1874. O6 tons of sugar have been bag
ged. Last year at the same date onl,
1893. 90 tons had been bagged.
The quality of the Juice, in spite o
some very wet weather during tn
past few weeks, has been excellent
and it has taken less cane to make
ton of sugar so far than in any pre-
vious year.
The cane for this crop, especially Of
the upper lands, suffered considerabl,
on account of cold weather last win
ter. However, $4,000 tons can b
considered a conservative estimate
There will be harvested 6,4SS acres.
CROP OF 1911.
Planting was commenced March Il
1909, and finished August 10th, 1909
Although the grinding of the 100
crop was finished rwenty-four day
earlier than for the previous yea

COMMERCIAL CLUB.

An important business meeting of
the directors of the Commercial Club
VIII be held at $3.50 this afternoon. A
rumber of matters are to be transact
Cd, including the election of new
members.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1910-04-13

nevertheless 1850 acres of the 1911
crop were planted with top seed.
The weather was so cold and wet
during the spring of 1909 that the
rattoons from four of the fields, that
were harvested at that time, started
rather poorly, which necessitated a
good deal of replanting. These fields
have since been growing well, and, as
a whole, are in good condition. Just
at present, however, the weather is so
cold that not much growth is being
made in either the plant cane or the
rattoons. There are 6,545 acres for
this crop.
CROP OF 1912.
It has rained so much this winter
that the steam ploughs were shut
down for about five weeks during De-
cember and January, and therefore
only 1,1OO acres have been ploughed.
However, with six sets of tackle, no
difficulty is anticipated in catching up.
SUGAR FACTORY.
Mills: The average cane ground
per hour for the two mills was SO. ~
tons, as against 1O1 "a tons in 1908.
This difference in the amount of cane
ground per hour is due to the cane
having been tougher and more diff
cult to mill than in 1908.
The apparent results of manufac-
ture were not as good for the crop OF
1909 as for 1908, the total losses be-
ing 10. 955 per cent as against IL. 94S
per cent The actual results, how
ever, were better, as is proven by
the fact that in 1909 302 81 pounds ot
sugar per ton OF cane was recovered
as against 1902 pounds for the cror
of 1908. The difference in the per
centage of losses is a result of mill
ing a much richer and more resistan
cane under similar mechanical con
ditions.
At the close of last crop one set o
mill housings was so badly cracked
and broken at the points where tht
cast iron is put in tension, that
was beyond repair. It was replaced
with a new set, of original design
in which all the working strains arr
properly cared for.
Before commencing the presen
crop new intermediate gears were in
stalled in the No. 2 mill gear train
These were to replace the old ones
which were sworn out. In mfakin
. this replacement the gear ratio wa
changed, thereby obtaining the sam
roller speed with the driving engin
speed reduced 20 per cent. Thi
change should insure longer life +
the gears, and is a great improvement
: in the working of the mill.
Boiling House: During the last o
, season everything in this departmer
. was put in good running order to TAX
l off the present crop. The princip;
improvements effected were the in
stallation of juice and maceration wa
ter scales, three water driven Ger
