.GRUNE FINDS WORK
FOR THE RUSSIANS

Martin Grune, the real estate man
in Merchant street, has undertaken a
little practical charity for the Rus
slams encamped at Iwilei, and his eff
forts are, apparently, being appTeclat-
ed. The task undertaken by the pro-
moter of new residence districts is
no less than to find employment for
the Russians, and to do so absolutely
free of charge.
The position of employment agent
came to Mr.. Grune quite by accident
however. To begin with, he speaks
several Russian dialects and was able
to converse freely with the lmmi-
grants. Two or three men, who had
come to him, were placed in good po-
sitions. They carried the story Of
their good luck to the ST. Petersburg
the strangers have set up in Iwilei,
with the result that almost the entire
male part of the colony showed up
at Mr.. Grunes office this morning. All
wanted work
Mr.. Grune was at first taken aback
as to what to do, but soon decided to
tackle the big job. Information as
to what the different men were cap
able of doing was obtained, after
which Mr.. Grune placed himself in
communication with a large number
of employers of labor in the city.
There was ready response, and dur
ing the day work has been found for
many of them.

TONS OF EVENTS.

The following from the Saturday
Evening Post will undoubtedly prove
of interest here at this time, when
stocks and bonds are having a re-
cord run for first place in the esti-
nation of an important class of in
vestors:
In investment, as in all other i'm
portant activities, there are good and
bad seasons.' At certain times it is
advisable to buy stocks, and then
again there are occasions when it is
to the advantage of the investor to
purchase bonds. The latter condi-
ton prevails now, and since it may
have a bearing on a problem that
touches everybody-the high cost Of
living-it seems well worth explain
ing.
In the first place, bonds are cheaper
than they have been in good while.
There are various reasons. One is
that during the panic of 1907 many
financial institutions, such as banks
and trust companies, bought high class
bonds at low prices. AS prosperity
returned and business expanded there
developed a big demand for money in
business. Last year the banks found
it profitable to sell their bonls at the
advance prices which they had reach
ed, and to lend the proceeds on COM
mercial paper for business purposes.
The natural result of this unloading of
high class bonds was a decline in
price, and they have been low ever
since.
In the second place, the uncertainty
of the stock market has caused many
cautious investors to refrain from
buying bonds. The two slumps with
in the past few months have unset
tied conditions. In addition, two i'm
portant Supreme Court decisions
the Standard Oil and American To-
bacco cases-are impending, and It
is generally believed that they will
be unfavOrable to the companies. The
result would likely be further I'M
rest. Hence, another factor contri-
butes to the dullness and cheapness of
bonds. This is all the more remark
able because money rates are low,
and ordinarily, when the money mar
ket is very easy, the price of bonds
goes up.
Yet this cheapness in bonds comes
at a time when it is most useful 20
the average man, because it enables
him to get very satisfactory return
on his money. This may serve him
for two distinct purposes. One is that
it facilitates the safe employment OF
his money, and the other is that ii
serves as an antidote for the high cost
of living.
One of the most striking facts in
the whole present day investment sit
uation is the increasing demand for
bonds of high yield and return. Ten
years ago the financing of the great
railroad corporations was on a three
and half and four per cent basis
The three and halls were eagerly
taken up. Today such financing
would be impossible. Even good foul
per cent bonds put out by railroad;
today sell at discount, as was
shown in the recent issues by the
Chicago and Great Western first mort.

PAIA AND HAIKU
PAY ONE PER CENT.

The directors this morning decided
to increase the monthly dividend of
Paia and Haiku plantations from
three quarters of one per cent to one
per cent, beginning with May and
continuing indefinitely
It had been anticipated that these
dividends would be increased during
the year, but there were those hardly
expecting it so early.
Paia and Haiku are the leading
plantations in the combination known
as the Maui Agricultural Company.

BEN LINDSEY CONTRASTS
STRIKES EAST AND WEST
oDETRIMENT OF FORMER

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-Judge Ben
B. Lindsey of the juvenile court of
Denver arrived in New York this week
with piece of Information that. to
many may seem incredible in view
Of recent events. Judge Lindsey says
1t has been demonstrated in Colorado
that it is possible to have a strike
continue for months without the
slightest damage to property or in
jury to citizens.
:. "In the northern Colorado coal
fields strike has been on for the
past eight or nine months" said Judge
Lindsey. Between 5000 and 5000
miners are involved. Yet you do not
hear anything of it in the east, al
Though our papers out west have been
filled recently with stories about the
,expressmen's and the cab drivers
strikes in New York, and accounts of
mob violence in your streets: even in
Fifth avenue, the destruction of
private property and the murder of
an inoffensive citizen. @t.$'' ,#>s.-45s1El
The reason why you have not
heard much of our strike is that there
has not been any violence about it.
The organization supporting 1t is law
abiding. There have not even. been
threats of violence. The coal miners
want shorter hours and higher wages.
They have decent leaders and d splcn-
did organization, and as the strikers
are law-abiding they have the sympa-
thy Of the community. They are con
/ flo f1tdEent Of winning within the next
sixty days. 5ss 8s

which thought it could safely and

union has been forced to surrender
and ask for quarter. The union did
nothing to it. It simply allowed the
company to take it's own course. The
company locked out its 353 workmen,
in it's Jay street (Brooklyn) plant
and last Saturday asked them to go
to work again on an eight-hour day.
The company was confronted with
a condition that involved new
schedule for book and job men, under
which the men were to be paid a
dollar a week Increase every year for
three years; and it seemed to have
an idea that other employers would
unite with It and help to put up a.
general fight In this emergency a
scab agency sent the company q few
workmen, but only three of them
were competent and the plant was at
a standsttll. Then came the capitu-

QUEEN. AND CRESCENT
CLERKS LOSE STRIKE

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. '35.--After
thirty-one days of struggle, the strike
of the clerks on the Queen and Gre
scent system has come to an end.
The odds we ere overwhelmingly
against the men. and when the other
railroads came to the aid of the Queen
and Crescent system the men were
compelled to submit.
The federal government, almost at
the inception Of the strike, granted
an Injunction restraining the clerks
from doing practically anything to
prevent scabs taking their places.
President Curran, of the Queen and
Crescent route, shortly after the in
ception of the strike, recognized the
concessions asked by, the clerks as
just, but owing to an alliance with the
Southern railroad he could not grant
It.

Striking Tadcab Employees Of
New York Bitter Against City's
Chief Executive Because OF
Manning Of Cabs BY 1900
Police. IL ~. -.

NEW YORK. Nov. 25.-"Mayor
Gaynor, the strikebreaker," is the
way the chief executive of New York
is now labeled by 1000. striking
chauffeurs and at least 10000 organ
ICED laborers in the Greater City:
The Mayors action In putting po-
licemen on the taxicabs driven by
strikebreakers, and scattering other
oughfares in the interest of the taxi
cab companies, whose employees are
on strike for a living wage, a shorter
workday, and human treatment.
which can only come through the
recognition of their trade organiza-
ton, is bitterly resented by strikers,
their sympathizers, and fair minded
citizens at large:
The number of policemen assigned
to strike duty was 500 to begin with,
Later, however, Commissioner Crop.
sey raised the number Of bluecoats to
1900. In other words, there were
between 200 and 800 more policemen
than strikers on the job to protect
the companies. ....,..
The extent to which the police were
provoking violence is seen In the fol-
lowing instances of bullyism on the
part of the bluecoats:
An officer Of the Chauffeurs' Union
noticed a strikebreaker, on a. taxi
cab whom he knew to have no license,
and consequently no Identification
card. which, according to the auto
mobile law, every. chauffeur should
have. The union. officials called this
to the attention OF officer 464. shield
number, of 10th precinct. The Off
Ger, instead of stopping the chauffeur
and arresting him for driving with
out a license, shook his club at the
union official and told him that he
would smash his nose for him if he,
the union official, did not get away
at once.
At a meeting of the chauffeurs
held this week the demands Of the
strikers was. modified. The demand
for recognition Of the union was
upon the companies for a IS day
wage for a ten hour work day. Hith-
erto the chauffeurs have been work
ing anywhere from one to twenty
one hours a day at the rate of q
cents an hour - 80 + sEs.sEasT e
Il: In spite, Of the police protection
| they got, the taxicab companies are
doing little business, as no one cared
enough for a. taxi which had police
man alongside the chauffeur, as a

! pect trouble. The few men who en-
ter these police taxis are men paid
by the companies to ride, in order to

WAR DEPT, PLANS To g.:
USE REGULARS FOR
CRUSHING STRIKES

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Nov. 25.-
Preparing public opinion Of the pas
sage of a bill during the coming short
session of congress which will in
crease the standing army of the
United States to quarter of a mil
lion men, the war department has
instructed certain of its officers to
obtain newspaper interviews and pave
the way for rapid legislative action
while the Republican party still holds
power. This publicity campaign has
been opened by Maj. Gen. Frederick
D. Grant who, after asserting that
"the standing army is Inadequate to
meet disturbances" and that I'VE
ought to have 100000 men in train
ing at all times leaves it to Col.
E. M. Weaver, chief of the militia
division of the department to ex-
plain that strikes are the "distur-
Dances" which the war department
is preparing to handle with a mailed
fist.
Col. Weaver says that ''as unions
are we'll known to be unsympathet-
ically disposed towards the organized
militia. the sentiment extending to
the limit Of actual hostility, it is
almost hopeless to expect any relief
from those conditions by the enact
ment of state laws or any laws that
would seek to restain the labor unions
from their unfriendly attitude"
"The most serious effect ls," con-
tinues the colonel, that 1t operates
to prevent many good men from be-
coming members of militia organiza-
tions. The preaching. of patriotism
has had no effect. Urging the fact
that the organized militia, has for it's
sole object the maintenance of law
and order has already failed to have
any influence on the attitude of the
unions
In conclusion Colonel Weaver sug-
gests that the example of Pennsylvan-
ia with its troops of mounted con-
stabulary should be followed in other
states.
Gathered from the mouths of diff
ferent officers the plan of the war de-
partment appears to be that from now
on the militia will not be used for
strike duty and, instead, the regulars
will be ordered to suppress strikes
where the state constabulary has been
unable to do the work.
