terested steamship companies were
prepared to present a startling and In.
teresting array of facts and figures
showing the immense amount OF bust.
ness passing through the outside
ports.
However, upon the return of Special
Agent Tidwell from his island tour he
is understood to have very plainly In.
timated to parties vitality interested in
the rumored economy that he had
abandoned any idea of recommending
a reduction by the elimination Of the
supports.
TidweII Plan Would Work Hardship.
The plan first mooted by Speciai
Agent Tidwell Immediately following
his arrival in the islands, and more or
less freely discussed with Collector Of
Customs Stackable and others, was to
cut out all the outside ports, eliminate
the special deputy collectors stationed
at the four ports. It was behaved that
inspectors attached to the Honolulu
service would be available to take
passage on all vessels proceeding to
outside ports. and remain on board un.
til such time as the cargo was dis.
charged and the vessel in question
was ready to depart.
In the case of such vessels as the
Matson Navigation steamer Enter.
prise which regularly enters and
clears the port Of Hilo, this steamer
would have to be visited by a Honolu.
lu deputy, unless the steamer schedule
could be changed to permit the vessel
TO clear from Honolulu.
Special Agent Tidwell was present.
ed with a broadside of statements
| showing the vast amount of business

radical change. His personal inspec

ed to have served to settle the fate of
the four island ports in his mind, with
the result that their status will not be
| altered.
Honolulu Men May Meet Reduction.
Tidwell 1t is said will depart for
| Washington with the firm belief that
Honolulu customs deputies and in
| speetors are receiving too much mon
| ey. He is said to take the stand that
material saving In salaries and pei
diem wages have been effected at New
Orleans and along some of the Gus
toms districts on the Atlantic coast.
Customs inspectors in the Territory
now receiving four dollars per day
may find that under the Tidwell rec
concentration they would draw a dol
lar less each day.
He is believed to favor plan which
would do away with a number of In
spectors, but transfer some of tn,
men to the grade Of watchmen, ant
under this classification they would
receive much smaller pay.
One matter that has been brought I,

EIGHT.HOURLAW
MAY HIT LOCAL
GOVT. CONTRACTS

Government labor In the Territory
may be materially affected by tho
eight hour measure now before Con-
eress and likely to be passed by that
iCdy. At least, such Is the opinion
Of United States District Attorney II.
W. Breckons, who has been following
the progress of the new bill.
The bill in Congress has been pass
ed by the House and is now before the
Senate. and so far has received ia
vorable consideration. Breckons thinks
II probably will be found more dras-
tic, affecting concerns interested I'm the
manufacture or production Of mate
rails to be used by the government to
greater extent than the Territorial
statute now in effect. Full details of
the proposed Federal law are not at
present obtainable
Section 122 of the Revised Laws. as
amended by act OF the Legislature of
1907, requires the eight-h hour working
limit for employees of all concerns hold
ing contracts from the Territory.
Breckons thinks the Federal measure,
which will apply to all Territorial
jobs, will not only affect the contract
ing concerns, but all who do any work
in which the government Is interest
ed, with no difference between those
regularly contracting or others who
may supply the contracting concerns.
Several army and navy engineers
have expressed themselves as believing
that the effect of the bill would not
be serious here, but this was just after
the House had taken action and little
was known of its exact import and
local application.

Patrolboat Needed for the Coast.

The immigration officers at Angel
Island are to ask Congress for boat
to patrol the coast from Mexico north
to prevent the landing of contraband
Chinese.
At the hearing of Captain A. Feeder,
master of the steamer Siberia, who is
charged with having opium on board
his vessel and has been fined for the
oifense, the immigration authorities
stated that they had been notified that
boat containing 40 contraband Chi.
nese had left Mexico for California
The immigration officials at that hear
ing complained of their inability to
watch for the smuggling of opium and
Chinese on account OF not having a
boat in which to patrol the coast.
Under present conditions, the immi
grafton service is compelled to rely on
the revenue cutters, and as most OF
these are in Boring Sea watching for
seal poachers, the Chinese will prob
ably be able to make a safe landing
/ That this traffic is carried on was
shown in the recent capture of the
launch Morning Star, which was cap
tured at the foot of Franklin street In
! Oakland with twenty-five contrabant
Chinese aboard. The vessel and heI
cargo of human lives were seized and
the vessel sold by the Federal Govern
ment after It had been Coniiscated.
