The MOVE TO REPEAL 4 LABOR AGENT LAW

Democratic members OF the territorial legis
lature declare that they have no intention OF
asking repeal of all the laws regulating the
activities of labor agents in Hawaii, and the
Star Bulletin wishes to draw attention now to
their statements SO that there may be no mis-
understanding.
Bills have been introduced in both senate and
house by Democratic members repeating Act 60
Of the session laws of 1911 Act so declares de-
fines and establishes legal and. equitable RENE
dies for inducing, enticing or persuading, or at
tempting to induce, entice q persuade, servants
or laborers to leave their einpIoyment, or for
aiding or abetting such inducements or persua-
sion.
Acts 4s, 20, SO, and 80 are also on the statute
books and leading Democrats say they have no
idea of getting these repeaiedk Act As calls for
q $4,000 bond filed with eaeh county treasurer,
as well as an annual license fee of $500, before
any labor agent can secilies elhigrant labor from
the respective counties of Hawaii Act 20
prohibits agents from peIsuading a ,laborer to
leave service in which he is engaged, combining
the activities of the agents largely to the loaf
ers. Act So amends and strengthens Act As.
Act 80 prohibits emigrants agents from enticing
newly arrived immigrants to leave the territory
until they have been here at least thirty days.
The Democrats say that they wish Act SO re-
pealed because it is needless and bears the air
of hastily passed legislation, on subject al
ready covered, and tends to create the impression
that Hawaii is using every kind of method to
prevent the free movement of labor. 1t is held
that there is nc necessity for declaring action
able violation Of the law nor of allowing in
functions to issue against emigrant agents
whose activities are opposed.
Meanwhile, the Alaska packers do not seem to
think that Acts IS, 40, So and9O are sufficient to
step them from another raid on Hawaiis labor,
for the charter of the steamship Yucatan to come
here and get shipload of laborers for the north
ern caHneries has been announced in Coast ship
ping circles.
