to the cotton mills, printing plants,
oyster and shrimp canneries and 9TH
er manufacturing plants where wom-
en- and children are employed.
Mr.. Mcdowell states that his work
80 far has been largely in the nature
warning mills where Irregularities of
a minor kind were in practice to dis
continue them. To allow no POSSIBLE
ity If the pleading of ignorance of the
terms of the statutes as an excuse, Mr..
Mcdowell has personally explained to
managers of the industries the law re-
Quirements, and in addition has sent
printed copies of the child labor and
factory inspection bills to all places
he will visit.

this morning. they want to be assured

they have to be fed and taken care of
whether they work or not" said Mr..
McQuaid. The way they have acted
thus far in the matter is disgusting.
At the Koolau plantation they were
given chance to go to work by con.
tract with free house and free wood
and water. They claim they cannot

the charities will give no more aid
to those who refused work at Koolau,
saying that, If necessary, he would
call upon the sheriff and have them
arrested as warrants.

Further Cut Reported, Although
No Definite information
Can Be Secured

That the mainland jobbers are play.
ing the Hawaiian pineapple packers
che against the other in order to beat
down the price OF the island fruit, is
the opinion which seems to be held
not only by at least a part of the
packers themselves, but by the bust
ness community generally. A further
reported cut OF 5 per cent under the
lately announced quotation of 81. so
per dozen for No. 2 ~ extra, is gen.
orally credited in canning circles, al
though few assume to know any
thing definite concerning the matter.
The fact that the selling end of the
pineapple business is to a very large
extent entirely in the hands OF main
land agencies accounts for the fact
that the changes in quotations usually
reach here after they have been put
into effect. This is true particularly
OF the three largest canneries.
1T is entirely likely that pineapples
have been offered at under 81 so"

constantly cut In the past by practi-

openly. Months ago certain packers
are known to have been offering No.

positively among the packers, but
the open announcement OF this rate
only came about a week ago.
There is no way that local inter

In the meantime, so long as every

II is the buyers that are in the po-

In order to effect sales. special dis
counts are in many instances the
rule. Ia
s 1t seems unlikely that growers will
be able to secure over $40 per ton for
their fruit this year, IL indeed the av-
erage price Is not considerably under
this figure. The manager of one of
the canneries stated this morning that
he has been offered within the past
week considerable amount of fruit
at $40.
This price is perhaps 50 so to So
