last few years to all of the crafts.
Those increases have averaged 12R
per cent to every shop employee in our
service. Some increases have been as
high as 30 per cent. Now, conditions
are such that we cannot consider any
increases in wages nor any change in
the shop rules at present. 1t is un-
necessary for me to say that we have
treated our employees fairly and lib
orally at all times, in advance of most
any other road. That is a fact that
cannot be denied.
A Stern Warning.
"Now, then, before you men go any
further in the matter, I want to give
you word of warning: These de-
mands will not be granted. If there
is any trouble or suffering to men or
their families, you men will be respon-
sible for it. You have got to bear
that in mind. AS I said before, we
have always tried to DO what was en-
tirely right and fair, and we will not
take any responsibility for anything
that may result from such movement
as this. We have no ill-will toward
you nor toward anybody whom you
represent, but feeling and knowing
that we have done what is right, we
intend to stand upon the position tina
we have taken in this matter, and the
responsibility, as / said before, viii
/ rest with you"

H0MESTEAOING"
Continued from page onc)

uorancc of the probable object of the
applicants who secured this land lie
stated this morning that he was al
ways opposed to opening the land, for
the reason that he considered it inn
Lossible as a place for homesteading.
IN this the minutes of the Land Com
mission appear to amply bear him out
According to these records, applica-
tons came i'm from thirty-three resi-
dents of Maui demanding the opening
Of this land As under the law twenty
FIVE citizens can compel the opening
of any tract of government land, ap-
plcation blanks were sent according
10 form.
At a meeting Of the commission. be-
fore the applications had been re-
turned, there was a general discus
sion, in which there seemed to be a
general opinion that the land would
not support homesteaders, and accord
ingly, by resolution, it was determined
to summons Charles Wilcox of Maui,
whose name headed the application
/ list, and who had carried on the nego.
tiations, to appear before the board in
the matter.
At a subsequent meeting Wilcox
was present, and his testimony is re
corded in the minutes. fHe testified
| that the applicants wished the lands
as a place to make their homes rhat
natives living on it at the time were
able to raise sweet potatoes, water
melons, pigs, chickens, etc; that i
was not true that the applicants
wished the land simply to get wha
fire wood it contained.
Atfdavits Were Made.
In the applications and affidavit
which then followed, each petitioner
under oath, declared it as his desir,
to have the land under the 999-yea
lease method, for a home, and not 70
any other purpose. The application
thus filed were signed by the follow
ing persons:

ginning TO arrive in good quantities. but

ccived yesterday and this morning were
bought by uptown dealers at $50 per

GETS MAXIMUM PENALTY.
Man Who Threw Brick In Quarrel
Given Ten Years.

Justice Wright, in Criminal Court No.
! yesterday served notice on brick-throw-
ers and "alley brigands that they need
expect nothing less than the limit Of i'm
prisonment when convicted before him.
In sentencing Richard Jones to ten
years in the penintentiary, following his
conviction of inflicting serious injury
with brick on Thomas Brown, caus-
ing the life of the victim to be despaired
of for several weeks, Justice Wright said:
People like you have no more right to
be at large than a COmanche Indian.
You knocked nearly half of the head off
this man with a piece of brick, and am
going to impose the maximum penalty
on you alley brigands and brick-throw-
ers whenever you are convicted before
me-"
The action by the court interrupted the
love affairs of Jones and the girl who
caused the quarrel with Brown. Justice
Wright yesterday received a letter from
the girl asking him to parole her lover
in her custody that they might be mar
ried. She promised the court to keep
Jones in the straight path for the future
Justice Wright found 1t impossible to
accede to the girls request.
