WORKS OUTLOOK
Is NOT BRIGHT
Last Years Business Up to
Average but Sugar Depres-
sion Affecting 1t Now

Although the volume OF business
done by the Honolulu Iron Works
Company during the past year was
about up to the average, the outlook
for the present year is not so good
The depression in the sugar industry
( is responsible for this, since in large
measure the business of the company
| is in the manufacture and sale of SUI
gar machinery. Inasmuch as all local
plantations are retrenching as much
as possible, there is not great deal
of new work in sight for the imme-
date future The volume of business
transacted last year was $2,619,374.
These facts were brought out at the
annual meeting of shareholders Of the
company, which was held this morn
ing in the offices Of Theo. H. Davies
& Co.
The report Of the manager stated
that 1913 had been busy year in
the shops. but that but little work is
on hand at present The force in the
works had been reduced in December
last to $50 men, and at present not
all of these are working full time.
The splendid new four-story con-
crete warehouse which has just been
completed at cost of about $135, 600,
is now occupied. and the manager
states that it is being equipped with
various forms Of labor saving devices,
by which It viii be possible to reduce
very materially the cost of handling
goods
The Hilo branch shop is proving its
usefulness to the sugar factories and
Others along the Hawaii coast.
At the present time Manager c. ].
Hedemann is in the Philippines look
ing into business matters in which his
company Is interested. and particular
ly in the matter Of the construction
of the new sugar factory at Calambra,
which is now going on. and which is
to be completed by September, 1914.
It will have a capacity of 1900 tons
of cane per day, and will probably
begin grinding its first crop in Novem-
Der next This plantation has In about
5000 acres for its 1916 crop, and ex-
poets to take off about $1,000 tons
of sugar.
President F. NJ. Swanzy of the Iron
Works Company, states that all of
the several eentrals which his COM
pany has built in the Philippines are
doing good service OF these the Min
doro, which was erected in 1911, and
the San Carlos. and the Tigbanan,
erected in 1918 are all in operation.
This last named il small, having q ca
pacity of but 100. tons of cane per
day, but it is an example of fast work
on the part of the builders. The or
der was placed with the New York
office Of the iron works in August last,
and delivery was made from New
York, and the mill erected and put in
regular operation in January of this
year.
