SKILLED LABOR
SCARCE ARTICLE
Promotion Committee Informed
That FiniSherS Are Not
on Hand.

Skilled mechanics Of the citizen
class are not 10 be had in Honolulu
today, according 70 reports made at the
promotion committee meeting yester-
day afternoon. Finishing carpenters
are not to be had. and contractor
Ouderkirk was authority for the state
ment TO a member of the committee
that there are only about twenty white
finishers in town. Norman Watkins
stated that even roustabout carpenters
are at premium. He gave as an in
labor that the fertilizer building at
Iwilei was not finished when expected
owing TO the fact that citizen roust
about carpenters could not be had.
There were some japanese, but cIti-
zen labor only was wanted.
w II. Mclnerny stated that the pro
posed coffee exchange proposition was
being worked out by local people and
he believed that in the near future it
would be launched This is the scheme
fathered by Mr.. McInerny for taking
up with coffee growers the proposition
of putting all their product into the
exchange for distribution. The scheme
goes so far as TO have the Hawaiian
coffee tagged by the government so
that when it reached the consumer 1t
would be officially labeled as the pure
product. The exchange is intended to
give the grower more pay for his prod
uct than he at present receives from
distributors.
Mr.. McInerny reported having re
ceiyed letter from his brother James
relative TO "A visit he had made to
the Hawaiian exhibit on the Board
walk at Atlantic City. 1t was great
success from an advertising standpoint,
but from a commercial standpoint he
was not so certain. The management
of the Marlborough lenheim hotel was
blow to the success of the entire ex-
hibit. Mr.. McInerny commented on
what the considered the small size of
the glasses of pineapple juice sold in
the exhibit, as compared with the large
glasses of orangeade furnished by the
California people. but Mr. Wood ex-
planned that the orangeade was largely
composed of water and they could at
ford TO give larger glasses.
The committee went over number
of surfboard riding pictures submitted
by local photographers. The commit
tee wishes to use a typical surfing pic
ture for a permanent advertising poster
Of the promotion committee and
the members are looking for a picture
which shows the greatest action in the
riding of the waves.
There was some discussion over the
reason why the Army did not use beef
slaughtered in the Islands, but proeur-
ed its supplies from the mainland.
shipped here chilled in refrigerators.
The question will be asked of the army
authorities and some action on the
part OF the parent bodies may be
suggested by the committee, to have

SPEED BOYS TN PIECES ARE WHIPPED EASILY
 BY SWIFT FINNEGANS

For the third time within the week, r<ne fast slipping Mechanics fell before lthe onrushing Finnegans, this time at lNewfield Park by an S-1 score. The residents were outclassed in every de- pertinent of the game, at the bat, in the field and in that most important Eparticular, in mound work. The Me- tchanics lost considerable ground, as Ia win would have placed them back lon the top. where they belong, But lplaying of the sort which they handed tout yesterday, will never even land lthem one, two.-
 In justice to the home team, it may be said that they were caught in the hardest week of play they had this fseason, in a condition which has never tbefore confronted them. The absence Fof Bobby Stowe breaks up the whole tinfield work of the team, while his lconsistent batting is missed. Then tagain to fill the vacancy "Chief' Shy der had to be rushed in, thereby put tting a big hole in the pitching staff, (which at the present time is not going as good as it might. The club in ltheseafra ainningigame- at New Britain gave signs of recovering from the lslum- but yesterdays play never ishowed it.

NEW HAVEN WAGE INCREASE TOTALS
 FULL .S2,00O,0OO

The wage situation on the New Ha- ven lines has now reached a position where it is possible to get a very close approximation of the total cost of the wage increases authorized in the last three .months' and :, the in- creased measure of income which re- cent advances in passenger rates may be expected to afford
 At. present the increase in wages is running at the rate of s40000 per week, or say $2,000, 900 per annum. Of this amount $500,O00 represents addi- tienal wage expense due to increase in the number of employees This item is iike1yHto vary either way, due to the course of traffic, and it is fair to assume that the new business which this additional help is hired to handle. will pay, for its maintenance.
 Strictly speaking, therefore, the New Haven. road has granted it's employees increased wages of $1,500,000 or at the rate of s30,O0O per week.
 The advance in passenger rates al ready inaugurated or to be inaugur- ated provide for additional income which the management estimates at $1 ,06O, ,000 per annum. This figure is arrived at by taking the increased rates and applying them to exactly the same volume of traffic that was handled on any given part of the sys- tenn during the. fiscal F months to June 30. While naturally somewhat theoretical, this calculation is the only method by which the matter can even be approXimated.
 But the New Haven officials expect that the increased use of mileage books will be stimulated to a con- siderable extent and that because of this fact and also some possible loss in traffic, total of $S60,000 increased revenue is all that may be conserva- lively counted upon. This leaves up- wards of $600,000 which the road must take from it's net earnings to make up the S1 50O, 900 increase in their labor bill.
 This is a fairly respectable total, equal to one-half per cent on the capital stock and in connection with the present tendency toward decreas- ed revenues is giving the mana cement some concern as to exactly what re- suits may be counted upon for the

FARRELL OFFERS SI,0OO FOR PROOF
 OF SIGNAL THEFT

Boston, Mass, July e29-Stirred by the comment here as to the signal tipping. at the Highlanders' Park, in New York, Frank Farrell, the owner of the New York Americans, made an immediate offer to put up S1 O00 cash the amount to go to some charity if it can be proved that his club has in any way whatever attempted to steal the signals of any opponent that has played in New York this season
 George Stallings, the manager of the club, supplements this with the offer to get affidavits from each of his players, sworn to before a notary public, attesting to this fact
 These lies have gone far enough |" said MT. Farrell, in an interview at the Cooley Square Hotel today. "All the papers seem to be printing a statement of Chicago newspaper man. who recently accompanied the White SoX to New York. who asserts that he can prove the charges, as he has proof in his possession in the shape of ,affidavits from four Chicago players and one player of a New York club.
 This writer challenges Ban Johnson to- appoint a committee to investigate the. matter and promises to lay the facts before them: He will give the reward of $500, offered by Johnson, to the man proving the charges, to some Institution or charity.
 Now I will add another $1 1,00O to the $500 promise made by Johnson, and I have written Johnson asking that the Investigating Committee be appointed. There is no tipping at our grounds and simply because the club has upset calculations on the cir cult, this method is taken to account for the exceptional work
 There is an odd story going the rounds to the effect that Stallings told his men to glance around the fences when they came on the field, as though on the lookout for a. tip. It is said the ruse worked and the Chi cago. men changed their signals every team trouble, particularly the pitch CTS

current fiscal year. In a general way the statement may be expressly made that President Mellen and his assis- tants will be abunGantly satisfied if the New Haven earns during the 19f6- Il fiscal year it's per cent dividend. This is about the most that can be expected and, on the other hand, the management do not feel that the road will fall below that figure.
 Already there are some signs of a recession in gross earnings. The July results have ben carefully watched and if the recession visible in June, which showed an increase in gross of but s300,0 compared with s6Zs.000 gain in May continues, a more or less general policy of curtailnent through out the system will be instituted.
