located entirely on government
land.
Amendment Adopted.
The resolution originally called for
construction of wharf on the shores
of Maalaea Bay without definitely
fixing the location. This was objected
to. Captain Parker stated that any
where inside of Olowalu point and Ma
kena is called Maalaea Bay, and that
would leave the commissioners discre-
ton to put the wharf anywhere they
liked inside of said points. DIR. Ray
mond took the floor and insisted on
having the wharf at Kihei, as the peo-
pie of Maui wanted safe landing ON
that side of the island. and did not
want the harbor commissioners to put
the wharf at some other place. He Of
fered an amendment to have the wharf
at Kihei or vicinity which was adopted.
The resolution as amended was adopted
by unanimous vote Of the meeting.
A report for the Improvement Of the
Waikiki. Kahnlui water supply was
presented recommending the intake be
changed from its present location to a
point further up the stream. The
recommendation was approved.
Dan II. Case brought up the matter
of asking the board of supervisors for
an ordinance against the rabbit pests.
Rabbits have been brought into the
county as pets and several are known
TO have escaped and may breed and be-
come pests. II. A. Baldwin thought the
presence of the mongoose eliminated
all danger from rabbits becoming pests.
Some one suggested requiring a $1,000
license for the privilege of keeping pet
rabbits, This brought out admissions
from two prominent Maui citizens that
that they have pet rabbits on their
premises, safely housed in wire cages
Labor Union Activities.
The labor union movement as pro-
NOTED by Ewaliko has struck Maui and
local branch is being organized un-
der the leadership of Nelson Kaloa Of
Pauwela, Makawao, Maui. The others
interested in promoting the movement
are M. K. KeohokaloIe, II. G. Mossman
and Peruvian Goodness, all of Wailu-
ku. There are over fifty members en-
rolled in Kahumi and Wailuku, and
many more intend joining from Lahai-
ma and Makawao. AS soon as snf-
/ ficient number of men shall have en-
rolled Ewaliko win be invited to come
over and install the officers of the
union and he will probably then ga
tighten the local men of the objects
of the association.
As understood by the men who are
enrolling the objects sought to be ac-
complished are to keep the noncitizen
labor from making further encroaeh-
ments ia the field of labor now open
only to citizen labor and to hold down
any too liberal Interpretation of the
restrictions against the employment Of
alien labor on public works. AS soon
as the union finds its strength it pro.
poses to wage an aggressive war against
the employment Of alien or noncitizen
labor in certain lines of work. A cam
| paign for the increase Of wages ID not
included IN its program at present.
