Labor Commissioner
CriticizeS New Law
DR.. Meeker FayOrs Bnt One Accident
BOard--SayS Insurance Companies
Need to Be Curbed.

DR.. Royal Meeker, United States
Commissioner of Labor, who has been
touring the Islands for the past sew
eral weeks, gathering data on labor
conditions, held a conference with the
Maui Industrial Accident Board last
Saturday, which was of much interest
to the members. He discussed at
length the operation of workmen's
compensation laws in different parts
of the mainland, and told something
of the steps being taken in many
places to make the conditions of lab
orers less hazardous.
In a conservative way, DR.. Meeker
is in favor of workmen's compensa-
ton insurance being handled by the
state, as a check upon the insurance
companies, whose reputation for rapa-
city he strongly condemned. But in
establishing state insurance, he held
that such departments should be put
on a strictly business basis, which
would give them no improper advan-
tage over the private companies. He
strongly condemned the arbitrary min
imum fee of $40 per policy which the
companies in Hawaii are insisting up
on, as being exceedingly unfair.
DR.. Meeker thought that mistake
had been made in Hawaii's law in
making a separate board for each of
the different counties. He favored
also requiring thorough system of
casualty statistics to be kept, cover
ing the entire territory.
During the week spent on Maui,
DR., Meeker, in company with DR.. Vic.
tor S. Clark, who is gathering data for
the Carnegie Institution, visited most
of the plantations on the Island. For
the most part he spoke highly of the
manner in which laborers are housed
and cared for, though he mentioned a
number of exceptions to this rule.

Maui News To Soon
Have New Home

Ground was broken this week for a
new home for the Maui News to he
erected on the property of Mrs. A. J.
Rodrigues, on High street. The new
location is almost opposite the pres
ent office of the News. The building
will be considerably larger than the
present building, and will be much
better adapted to the needs of the
growing business. 1t will be of one
story, on bungalow plan, in keeping
with the Office building adjoining it.
The floor will be of concrete. The new
quarters will probably be ready for
occupancy within about six weeks.

Hama Man May Try
To Stop Bridge Work

J. X. Hanuna, of Hama, is threaten
ing to bring an injunction action to
stop the construction of the new
bridge across the Kawaipapa stream,
on the grounds that the bridge is
faultily designed and is likely to men,
ace his property which is below the
bridge. Hanuna bases his objections
on the ground that the piers of the
bridge are set at an angle to the flow
of the water, which will tend to di-
vert the stream upon his land
Hanuna was formerly manager of
the Kokainui Sugar Company, in
Hama.

New Rest House on
Haleakala Popular
Has Increased Tourist Travel to Maui
and is Popular With Maui Folk
Will Be Self Supporting.

That eighty-five persons slept
in the Haleakala Rest House
during the month of August, was
the statement made by w. o.
Aiken to the Chamber of Gem
merce, yesterday. Besides this,
between thirty and forty had
used the new structure during
July, before it was entirely conf
pleted. All of these visitors paid
81 per night for the accommoda-
ton; indicating that the rest
house will be sef-supporting, un-
less business falls off materially.
Moreover, Mr.. Aiken stated that
at least half of the visitors were
tourists, and not local people,
and that it is certain that the
better accommodation on the
mountain have been responsible
for a considerable increase in
travel to the Island.
Mr.. Aiken made the above
statement in supporting a plea
from the promotion committee
to the Chamber that it use its
good offices in an effort to have
restored the $50 per month ap-
preparation by Maui County, to
promotion work, which was re-
Gently cut off by the supervisors
on grounds of economy. A COM
mittee composed of w. o. Aiken,
D. c. Lindsay, and II. w. Rice
was appointed to take the mat
ter up with the Board and to re-
port at the next meeting of the
Chamber.

to a years Imprisonment in Hilo for
a similar offense. Smith on this last

time ago.
The Hawaii Promotion Committee at
its meeting yesterday decided to make
campaign for an appropriation by
the legislature for wharf at Lahaina,
Maui, in the interest of increasing the
tourist travel there.
This action was taken after w. o.
Aiken of Maui, who represents that
island in the committee, had declared
Maui would not get it's share of the
tourists until a dock had been built
for the Inter-Island steamers. Passen-
gers to Lahaina now are compelled to
land in small boats.
Mr.. Aiken unfolded his plan for the
construction of wharf at Lahaina in
connection with the recital of recent
promotion work in Maui. He told of
the construction of the rest house on
the summit of Haleakala, but said that
in connection with the proposed auto
mobile road to the summit it would
be necessary to offer better landing
facilities for tourists if they were IN
duced to come there in increased num-
bers.
Haleakala Is Magnet.
Mr.. Aiken said he believed many
who made the trip to Ki,auea on Ha-
vail would stop one way or the other
to see Haleakala if a wharf were
built. Mr.. Aiken added that this year
had seen more tourists on Maui and
that he believed it was due to the
work of the promotion committee. 1t
is planned TO establish a commissary
at the rest house on Haleakala, Mr..
Aiken said, to save tourists the bother
of carrying food with them up the
summit. Cots also may be placed
there.
E. A. Berndt, chairman of the COM
mittee, facetiously suggested that the
next meeting of the committee on
the summit of Haleaka,a, which is
above the clouds. Members of the
committee seriously declare the idea
good one and it will be considered

lation of chances which, of course.
can be no bigger than the human
mind that does the calculating. That
love has not been tried is proved
by the collapse Of commercial civili-

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington, Sept. Germany is
ready to make peace and wants Presi-
dent Wilson to handle her negotia-
tions with the allies.
This was the startling development
following Germany's complete surren-
der to every demand contained in
the Presidents recent notes calling on
the Kaiser to cease his submarine at
tacks on merchant ships on which
Americans were travelling.
Count Won Bernstorff came from
New York Tuesday night, and early
Wednesday morning communicated
to Secretary Lansing Germany's prom
Use to accede to the American de-
mands, as contained in President VIII
sons notes.
The German reply is a pledge that
no more American lives will be sacri-
ficed, and full reparation will be made
for those already killed.
The German note clears the atmos-
phere and averts the severance of
friendl. relations.
Following the handing of the note
to Secretary Lansing. Count Won
Bernstorff telegraphed the Kaiser. it
was said, that President Wilson is the
only man who can at present effect
peace.
New German terms are in course OF
preparation and in official circles In
Washington it is believed that the end
of the war is at least in sight and
that Mr. Wilson will serve as the in
termediary.
After his conference at the State
Department Ambassador Won Berns-
torff sent Secretary Lansing this let
ter:
my Dear Mr. Secretary:
with reference to our conversa-
tion of this morning beg to inform
you that my instructions concerning
our answer to your last Lusitania
note contains the following passage:
Liners will not be sunk by our
submarines without warning and with
out safety to the lives of the non-com-
batants provided that the liners do
not try to escape or offer resist
ance.' -.ft-. .r-... .. r.-.-e, ..,s ..,-...
although know that you do not
wish to discuss the Lusitania ques-
tion till the Arabic incident has been
definitely and satisfactorily settled
l desire to inform you of the above
because this policy of my government
was decided on before the Arabic in
cident occurred.
81 have no objection to your max
ing any use you may please of the
above information.
Il remain, my dear Mr. Lansing,
VERY sincerely yours.
(Signed) 81. BERNSTORFF."
Statement by Lansing.
In connection with the letter Secre-
tary Lansing made the following
| statement:
'In view of the clearness of the
foregoing statement it seems needless
to make any comment in regard to it
other than to say that it appears to
be recognition of the fundamental
principle for which We have con
| tended"
Count Won Bernstorff's letter was
forwarded to President Wilson as soon
fas it was received at the State De-
partment.
