Commissioners kearns Finds
UnskiIIed Labor Better Paid

Hawaii offers far more of substan-

Ralph A. Kearns, territorial commits

Commissioner Kearns returned last

to California to take charge of some
Portuguese and Spaniards who had be-
come public charges. They had been
brought to Hawaii from Europe as
assisted Immigrants and under the
territory's agreement to look after
them in case they became public
charges within three years, their
cases were referred to the board of
immigration by the California authori-
ties. .-... II
Besides taking up these cases, Com
missioner Kearns made as thorough
an examination as possible in his

LOWER RAILROAD
Freight RATE ON
SUGAR BIG BOON
Southern Pacific Announces
Voluntary Cut of 20 Per
Cent to Middle West
OPENS BIG TERRITORY
FOR HAWAll'S PRODUCE
Will Tend to Increase Ship
ment to Western Refineries,
and Save ST DO Per Ton

A voluntary cut of 90 -er cent in
FREIGHT rates on sugar between Cali
fornis roints and zone with an east
erly boundary marked by Milwaukee,
Racine. eastern Illinois, Iowa and
southeas.ern missouri, was announced
in San Francisco by the Southern Pa
cific Railway Company on June IL.
This new reduction which has been
approved by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, viii me d a big saving in
freight rates TO Hawai- sugar planters,
and in addition makes more accessible
the big market of the Mississippi and
middle western states, which have
heretofore been hard to compete in be-
cause the rail rate iron California
we'd so high as to give the beet sugar
men and Louisiana growers an ad-
vantage. Transportation to that ter
ritory via the Panama Canal and the
eastern seabo ard wastalso immensely
costl..
Several Honolulu sugar men had not
heard of the reduction until informed
OF it today by the Star Bulletin, but
at once conceded its importance.
In February the railroads, at the in
stance of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. made reduction from
the west coast to Mfssippi valley
points which varied from is to % per
cent. This new cut however, is a
fiat cut of 20 per cent under the Feb
ruary rates. according TO advices at
hand. and SO far has been announced
only by the SM,thstn Rscific. but
Others roads will, OF course, fall into
line. 4
In February the average cut was
from. So to IS cents per hundred
pounds. The new cut will be- Trough
ly, from 46 to 81 cents per hundred,
and will be ia cut of from 1920 to
$40, or saving of $3.50 per ton.
The beet sugar men on the main
land viii also benefit by the cut, but
the net result will be, as viewed in
Honolulu that a territory largely con-
trolled by the beet trade. will now be
open to Hawaiian growers on good
competitive basis.
Western refineries, under the new
rate. are enabled to compete with
those of New York, Philadelphia and
New Orleans. ~. ~. ..--..@.. 49,.
So far this season of the 365, 900
tons shipped from these islands. 176,.
coo tons have been sent to California
refineries. saving of $1.S0 per ton
in mainland freight on that output
would total $315,0G0. -
One result of the. new freight tariff
will probably be an increase in the
tonnage shipped to the western refin-
cries, which for the last two years
have not been run to full capacity.
The reduction in the freight rate, it
is considered probable, was made to
allure tonnage to the west coast, and
thereby Offset the loss of sugar han
died by the western mainland carriers
since the Panama CaRaIw opened
to traffic. :, r.. -. ~.
