Industry

The profit is manufacturing profit
only, and is determined by deducting
the cost of salaries, wages, fuel, raw
materials, insurance, taxes and mis-
cellaneous expenses from the value OF
finished product at the works. In
case of mainland profits revised fig-
ures may affect the percentages slight
~, but not sufficiently to modify the
two important facts here shown. First,
in Hawaii, as elsewhere, capital In
vested in smaller enterprises earns as
much profit--and generally more prof
it on the average-than capital invest
ed in big undertakings. Second, though
average profits are higher in Hawaii
than in the United States as whole,
on account of the lower wages pre-
vailing in the, territory and conse-
auently lessened liability under the
proposed compensation act, the costs

elusiveIy PARTICLES 623 and 732 of the
Workman's Insurance Code of Ger
many, 1917. For minor accidents,
lasting less than 13 weeks, fund Is
provided made up of contributions by
both employers and employees, though
in case workman Is incapacitated
for more than four weeks and less
than thirteen weeks larger portion

in allowing compensation for acct.
dents disabling the employe for lses
than two weeks, over and above his
medical expenses.
A proposal was made at the senate
hearing to substitute an act abolish
ing the employers common law de

of that act could be insured against
for less than upon the mainland. All
that a cannery owner with 100 en-
ployes need do TO prepare for the law
would be TO take out insurance that
unless some rise in rates unjustified
by mainland experience oceurs--would
cost him between $3.50 and $275. A
printing office with thirty employees
could buy adequate protection for less
than half that sum, or say $125. BY
forming mutual indemnity fund q
group of employers could materially
lessen these charges.
II the small employer keeps prop
erly insured, the question OF his sol
yency is no longer vital TO the Injured
empIoye so long as the insuring com.
pany or association is in position to
meet its obligations. Under the pro-
visions of the bill now before the leg
islature the court may order the In
surfing company to deposit at once in
the hands of trustee a sum suffl-
Gent to meet any deferred payments
Cue for accident. and thus provide
against the contingency that the COM
pany may in the course of the period
the payments are to run become In
solvent. though solvent at the time
tie accident occurs.
OF course the expediency Of leaving
tie employer to insure In private COM
panies. or of forming government
insurance fund, or of providing for
optional or compulsory indemnity
funds formed by associations OF en-
ployers under government superyt-
sion, are all questions related to the
compensation system but are not nee
essarily part of the system itself. The
insurance question Is one that can be
taken up later, after the territory has
had two or more years experiences
with the act now proposed-and espe-
cially after we have learned how lib
eral q rate casualty companies now
IN operation are willing to give terri
torial employers. Big business organ
izations, like the Planters Associar
ton, are in a position at once to pro-
vide for the risks incurred in sugar
mills, at landings, and on plantation
railways under the proposed law, by
authorizing assessments to pay actual
liabilities incurred, practically without
administrative expense and without
the need of creating reserve.
The German system Of government
supervision and compulsory insur-
ance has not been adopted In the
English common law countries for
reasons sufficiently understood by
lawyers and publicists, although 1t is
probably absolutely the best system
anywhere in operation. Under that
system, however, employees do not
share in the cost of providing against
permanent disability and death, which
are the main features of the law pro
posed for Hawaii. In Germany the
cost of compensation under these two
heads falls upon the employers ex

posed compensation act. This might
possibly benefit attorneys. as II would
leave the determining OF damages for
accidents at at present 10 litigation.
But IL would burden employers with
heavy additional casualty insurance
costs. probably greater than the pro-
posed compensation bill. and give the
workman no corresponding advan.
tage. Employers would be subject TO
jury awarded damages. that being UNI
certain In amount and at times excess

insure against, while the injured
workman. as At present. would receive
only the lawyers leayings. In New

ending with 1908 the premium receipts
Of nine casualty companies doing bus
mess In that state aggregated s23,52s.-

insurance to injured workmen was
only $S.559.7g5. or IS per cent Of this
amount. In nearly q third Of the &C
cident suits investigated attorneys
fees alone not including other Judi
eial expenses Exceeded one-half the
amount recovered by the injured work
ers, and In over two-thirds Of the
cases they exceeded quarter OF that
amount. The proposed abolishing Of

able In itself. and while made part Of
the compensation laws OF several OF
the states. would not increase the pro-
portion Of damages granted BY the
court that goes to injured employees,
or lessen the economically unnecessary

We face a crisis: our industrial heart
has ceased TO beat because presl-
dent of our great republic has said
that in three years we must accept
fee sugar. His statement would not
bear weight except that he is sup
ported in Congress by a political par
~ which is in the ascendency and
has obtained its working majority,
not because It's tenets have been
adopted by the larger half of our peo-
Pile, but because (time and proper
Z prospective will show, that they
came into power from the internal
strife of their opponents. We Pro-
9ressives believe that professional
politicians secured strange hold on
the great Republican party and all
the common people in breaking that
hold forced the leaders Of that party
into q death struggle. Therefore
those now in political control err in
assuming that their policies have been
wholly endorsed by the great Ameri-
can people BE that as ii may. il is
safe to say that no such industrial
crisis has occurred in Honolulu since
1898 when Captain Brown discovered
our beautiful little harbor and named

only that the world shall be free to

not even told that at the end of three

Mr.. Towse was then called on to
present report of the work of the
committee. 1t had held 81 meetings,
besides which Mr. Carter had ad-
dressed nine other meetings in Homo.
lulu and one in Hilo. Mr.. Towse
showed a diagram illustrating the
plan of organization. He told of the
/ large distribution Of literature for the
assistance of those aiding the letter
writing campaign. Thousands of let
tiers had been sent to senators, repre-
lsentatives, other public men, business
firms, manufacturers and personal
friends of the writer's, seeking the aid
of those addressed for the salvation of
our chief industry from threatened de-
struction Mention was made of the
large number Of local organizations of
| all kinds which had been enlisted &C.
lively in the campaign. The move
! ment had ramified more widely than
its authors had dreamed would be
| possible :....
Mr.. Thomson. being asked to pre-
sent a set of resolutions to the meet
| ing, said: AT first l thought the
movement could only produce the
| swan song of the Hawaiian sugar in
dustry. When the committee origin
! ally came into existence understood
that three weeks were to be devoted
| TO public meetings and getting the
| community generally in touch with it,
! But as Mr.. Towse has shown, the
work has ramified beyond all exDecta-
lions. 1t is fitting that he community
express some appreciation Of what the
committee has done. Therefore it
| gives me great pleasure to move the
| adoption of these resolutions"
He then read the resolutions that
