LETTER ON INTERSTATE COMMERCE QUESTION
B|TULITHIC wins
$4,000 CONTRACT

The following article appears in
the Atlantic City Daily Press of May
26, copy of which has been sent
here by H. p. Wood Secretary of
the Hawaii Promotion Committee:
United Paving Company, of Allan
tic City, has been awarded a large
contract for laying bitulithic pave
ment on Baltimore avenue in the
borough of Lansdowne, Penna:, which
is in Delaware County, just few
miles out from Philadelphia. This
contract amounts to about 100000.
In contracting circles both in At
lantic City, Philadelphia and through
out this entire territory, the award
ing of this contract to United Paving
Company is recognized ss quite vic
tory for that company and for the
Bitulithic pavement, on account of the
long drawn out fight that has been
waged over the awarding of this con-
tract.
Baltimore avenue is the main thor
oughfare extending out from Phila-
delphia and through several of the
leading suburban boroughs and cities,
and is a heavily trafficked driveway
especially by automobiles, it being
the leading thoroughfare through the
Borough of Lansdowne.
Lansdowne is essentially a residen-
tial center and most of the voters
there are men prominent in the bus
mess and professional life of Phila-
delphia and the surrounding country
The members of Council are men of
business and social standing and
whose integrity is not to be ques-
toned and who are known by every
one to do only what they deem to the
best interest of the entire commun-
ity. Notwithstanding their standing
in the business and social world
these gentlemen were subjected to
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1910-06-06

the most scurrllous attacks which
could be heaped upon them by certain
untruthful and unscrupulous puppets
of both the Asphalt and Brick Trust,
whose emissaries concentrated their
combined efforts to prevent the
awarding of this contract for Btu
lithic.
Bids were first received on Btu
lithic and brick for this work early
in August, 1909, and although the ma
jority of the members of Borough
Council then favored the adoption of
Bitulithic, it was, by common con-
sent agreed to reject all bids and lay
the matter over until this spring New
specifications were prepared which
admitted several forms of pavements
which had not been specified in 1908,
and new bids were received on April
22nd of this year.. After making 4
thorough investigation, both by per-
sonal inspection of the oldest Btu
lithic pavements ever laid, and by re-
ceiving favorable replies from the
city officials of more than half a hun
dred cities in the United States in
which Bitulithic pavements have been
laid, to whom they wrote letters OF
inquiry, five out of the seven mem
bers of Lansdowne Council were
strongly of the opinion that Bitulithic
was the best modern form of stree
paving to be had, and, therefore, vot
ed for the award of the contract TO
Bitulithic to the Atlantic City Com
pany, although at a much higher pric,
than was bid for any other form ot
pavement.
1t is significant that the only two
members of Lansdowne Council who
voted against Bitulithic were the two
who did not personally inspect ~
oldest Bitulithic pavements laid il
the several New Esgland cities.

EDITOR STAR:-The matter of
proposed amendment to The Act to
regulate commerce" to include steam
ships doing business between the
ports of the Territory Of Hawaii, Is
now up for discussion, but the general
public has. l believe, little knowledge
of that law and of its actual working
Prior to the enactment of the So
called Interstate Commerce Act"
some railroads not only granted low
er rates to large than 20 small ship
pers, but even paid cash rebates to
the large shipper on shipments made
by the small shipper. That state of
affairs brought about the passage of
''The Act to Regulate Commerce"
The gist of the law is set out in the
following quotations from the Act,
viz:
Cali charges made for any service
rendered Or to be rendered in the
transportation of passengers or prop
erty as aforesaid, or in connection
Herewith, shall be just asd reason
able; and every unjust and unreason-
able charge for such service or any
part thereof is prohibited and declar-
ed to be unlawful"
THAT if any common carrier sub
ject to the provisions of this act shall,
directly or indirectly, by any special
rate, rebate, drawback or other device
from any person or persons a greater
or less compensation for any service
rendered, or to be rendered in the
transportation of passengers or prop
erty, subject to the provisions of this
act, than it charges, demands, col
lects. or receives from any other per-
son or persons for doing for him or
them like and contemporaneous
service in the transportation of like
kind of traffic under substantially 81
milar circumstances and conditions,
ed guilty of unjust discrimination
which is hereby prohibited and de-
clared to be unlawful"
The law further provides that all
rates shall be publicly posted.
AS result of an appropriation by
the Territorial Legislature, Congress
men were invited to visit this Terri
tory at our expense, to see with theil

vailed, and to do what they could al

STEAMERS WOULD

UNDER The LAW

the Inter State Commerce Act, which
would bring the Inter-Island Steam
Navigation Company and other water
transportation companies doing bust
ness between the Island ports under
the regulation and control of the In
ter-State Commerce Commission,
which Commission was created by
Congress some years ago for the pur-
pose of regulating commerce as above
set forth.
The president of the Inter-Island
Steam Navigation Co. recently stated,
in an interview published in a n, VS.
paper, that there was no discrimina-
tion in steamship freight rates and
that placing the steamship company
under the control of the Commission
would work hardship on the people
Of this Territory by preventing the
getting up of excursions, as rates
were required to be published say 30
days in advance of the effective date
of such tariffs. If this statement were
true, it would appeal to the travelling
public as shutting them off from the
privilege of occasionally securing
cheaper transportation by local
steamers; but, as g. matter of fact,
the commission allows reduced rates
| for three-day excursions upon the
posting of one days notice locally,
and the mailing of copy of the same
| to the Commission; and for eXcur-
sions of a duration of from four to
thirty days, the Commission requires
only a three day local notice to be
posted and the mailing of copy to
the Commission so that there is moth
ing to fear on that score.
The general impression obtains, and
the small farmer and the small store
keeper believes, that they are dis
crimonated against by the steamship
company in favor of the large ship
pers, by having to pay from so to 100
] per cent. higher freight rates for the
| same service than the plantation and
other large shippers. If this impress
sion is correct, the steamship COM
pany should certainly be brought un-
der the Interstate Commerce Act. If
it is incorrect, they will not be harm
ed by the extension of the law tc Ha
wall. In other words, the law pro-
vides, and all that it provides is, that
equal rates shall be given to all, un-
der like conditions, and that those
rates shall be made public.

In the last year or two a neat
trick to defraud laboring men has
been worked by large employers or
their agents in the territory ada
cent to Spokane, through the me-
dunn of a connection with some
favored Spokane employment
agency.
The plan is to hire men. work
them few days and then discharge
them, giving another bunch their
places. In this way the employment
agent is kept busy supplying new
men to the same job at so much per
head.
Oluf Opsjen, Norwegian rancher
living near Dishman's, for several
years a taxpayer and voter, gives
testimony as to an experience he
has just had. He says:

time, l concluded to take a run out

I never saw an ounce Of medicine
on the place.

and wondered at the constant

LOOKING "CIFT-
HORSE" IN THE FACE

One woman who had a parcel of
clothing wrapped to send to the
chamber of commerce relief fund
Or the fire sufferers has united the
string and restored the clothing to
the rack.
The cause of this action on her
part was the publication in morn
ing paper of a supposedly humor-
Gus comment by the assistant sec.
Rotary of the chamber of commerce,
on some of the donations received.
Here is the way the situation ap-
peared to this woman:
Il think such remarks in connec-
ton with work of this kind is a
positive disgrace. People were
asked to give what they could spare
in the way Of cast aside clothing,
and If bathing suits were given,
what about it? Those bathing suits
no doubt would be appropriated by
