Il speeial to Nc Advertiser

(Mail Special to The Advertiser.)
WASHINGTON, May GA .dOcu-
ment of no small Importance and in
terest to Hawaii is the report on labor
conditions by DIR. Victor S. Clark. 1t
was transmitted to the senate few
days ago and is being put into print
at the government printing office. The
views which Doctor Clark sets forth
about labor conditions in Hawaii are
all the more interesting because they
reach the public soon after the
o'Keefe report, which the commits
sioner of immigration has been anxious
to get into circulation.
Doctor Clark, an expert in his line,
specifically denies that there is any
thing like peonage in Hawaii. He says
there is entire freedom of movement
from place to place for the laborers,
and while there is payday but once a
month, a laborer can and does get
what is due him at any period of the
month if he wishes to quit.
The report is accompanied by numer-
GUS tables, all in compliance with the
requirements of the law for sIch a re-
port, and such statistics once in five
years. He shows the percentage of
payments to laborers in cash and also
the percentage of payments at COM
pany stores. The percentage of cash
payments is quite large and prepon-
derates. Then the Japanese strike of
last year is discussed at considerable
length; also the attitude of the plant
ers regarding the readjustment of eon-
tracts.
