COM MERCIAL NE VS..
STRENGTHFOLLOWS QUICKLY upon
DEPRESSION IN STOCK MARKET

! buoying the market even before the
announcement Of Oahu directors as tc
the possibility of a stock dividend
When it became known that Oahu di
ifrectors were in session the report
spread that Pioneer directors were
also to meet and brought a renewal
of rumors that Pioneer was also to
submit a proposition to increase its
capitalization so that a stock dividend
might be declared by that company.
This report also had its effect on the
listed stocks generally.
Dividends Are Reinvested.
As a reason for the renewed demand
for stocks that set in at mid-week a
representative of one of the trust com.
panies suggested that dividend dis
bursements were being reinvested by
stockholders in further purchases Of
sugar stocks.
Unlisted securities have not shared
the increased demand and strength
shown by sugar stocks. ....
Salient Copper Facts. .~. =
Engels Copper was lower in sym.
pathy with the decline of stocks of
companies that would be seriously af.
fected by war with Mexico, either
from location in Mexico or from the
fact that many of the mine or smelter
employees were Mexicans and would
be seriously affected by a shortage Of
labor in case of war with Mexico,
which appeared inevitable. Engels
would not have been so affected but
would benefit from the misfortune Of
other companies. In Sonora Cananea
is closed, which cuts off an output of
100000 pounds of copper a month
Nacozari Is also closed and its month
ly output Is 100000 pounds. Doug
las smelters output 100000 pounds
of copper month and so per cent Of
the smelter employees are Mexicans.
Inspiration, Miami. Old Dominion,
Ray, Winkelman, Hayden, Jerome Yer
de, Arizona Copper, Clifton, Morenci
and Metcalf all have preponderance
of Mexican labor 1t is therefore evil
dent that IL war with Mexico took
the whole or great part of such labor
from them, the price of the red metal
must soar and the producers not de-
pendent upon Mexican labor would
consequently benefit. But that argu.
ment did not appear TO be considered
by traders who we're not fully con.
versant with copper mining conditions
in the southwest
Mineral Products closed the week
about as 1t closed last week, having
declined the first part of the week
and recovered its loss. Other unlisted
securities are generally somewhat
lower.
Consider Position Strong.
The week has been summarized by
several investors who SAY that SO far
as standard dividend paying sugar
stocks go, the market has been ma.
terially strengthened but that less
stable securities are receiving less at.
tention in consequence. They further
point to the fact that while estimates
in big island crops are reduced this
year all indications are for crops next
year that will be far in excess of even
the 1915 crops.

HONOLULU Iron
WORKS ABANDONS
HALF HOLIDAYS
Orders So Heavy That Shops
Must Work All Day on
Saturdays .....

So crowded with orders is the plant
of the Honolulu Iron Works Company
that it has been found necessary To
discontinue the half holiday custom
and continue work all day on Satur-
days. This was the report that came
to the Star Bulletin and inquiry at
the foundry brought yerification and
the statement that the half holiday
not only has been discontinued but
ii is probable that 1t will not be re-
sumed during the present year.
1t has been known for some weeks
past that the Honolulu Iron Works,
in its New York and Cuba offices and
here as well, was being flooded with
important orders and that its capacity
was being taxed. Such statements are
borne out as facts by the action that
has been taken at the works.
Speaking of the demand for sugar
machinery and mill and plantation
equipment one familiar with sugar
conditions now and for number of
years past, said that for sometime
past the sugar companies had run on
system of rigid economy purchasing
only such machinery and equipment
as were indispensable but that higher
prices had put the companies. in a
position to renew or add to equipment
and that the taking advantage Of the
favorable opportunity was general
through the islands. He added that
undoubtedly the same situation pre-
vailed in Cuba, Porto Rico and other
great sugar producing centers.

canneries Run to Full Capacity
and Give Employment to
Hundreds Otherwise dIe

Running to full capasityf the pine.
| apple canneries on the isla6d of Oahu
are now each day turning out de-
lectable dessert for three quarters OF
a million families A visit to any
one Of these canneries is an interest
ing, instructive and highly enjoyable
experience. All about them there
radiates a delicious and appetizing
odor, one which gives to the visitor a
palate tickling sensation And the
cleanliness, the careful handling and
preparation of the toothsome fruit, the
sanitary conditions which surround
the preparing, preserving and pack
ing, send the visitor away more than
ever before an advocate of pineapple
preserves as a dessert.
The pineapple preserving industry
is great asset for Honolulu. 1t gives
lucrative employment to an army of
operatives who would otherwise be
unemployed or would be engaged in
less lucrative occupations.
Season at Fortunate Time.
1t is fortunate that the harvesting
and preserving season for pineapples
comes at time when schools are
just. closing or have just closed for it
offers an occupation to hundreds of
girls and many boys from the upper
grades of the schools, not a class that
should be termed child labor" but
the older, more nearly grown, children
who welcome the chance to turn va
cation days, or some of those days,
into season of money making. These
and large army of older girls and
women, drawn chiefly from the city,
make the large proportion of the thou
sands now engaged in canning pines.
And the men required also come
chiefly from the city. Few, il any,
are drawn from the sugar plantations |
where they have regular occupation, |
while pineapple canning is essentially |
a one season of the year business !
II does draw away for time some !
men and more women who would |
otherwise be engaged in caring for !,
gardens, doing Homework and other
about town, but, as has
been stated, the chief recruits to the
come from the schools whe:-
the summer term has closed.
SIiqhtIy Smaller Output.
THIS year the ripening season for
pines was early and consequently so

which Is now in full sway. From all 1

MAINLAND STRIKE
HOLDS BACK WORK ON
SIGNAL SYSTEM HERE

Due to shortage of cement on &C
count of the longshoremen's strike on
the coast, installation of the safety
signal system on the Oahu railway
may be delayed few days If ce.
ment arrives on the next boat, how.
ever, the last four of 81 concrete bases
will be placed next week. The rail
way company is installing % miles OF
system from here to Waipahu and on
to Dole's Siding.
Frank Benedict, who is here from
the mainland in charge of operations
for the General Railway Signal Com
pany of Rochester, New York, says the
system is practically the same as used
by the Great Northern, the Northern
Pacific, the Northwestern and many
other prominent railroads.
The signal system will be completed
and In operation in September, ac-
eording to Carl B. Andrews, chief
engineer of the O. r. & L. Co.
~ Not only is the system supposed to
prevent wrecks from, collisions but
also from broken rails and opeI
switches. q

.PINEAPPLEINDUSTRY IS RICH
ASSET FOR HONOLULU AND OAHU

, the eanneries come the report that
though the earlier output has beer
fbeavier than for the same number o1
days last year, it is improbable thai
| the total season output will equal thai
of year ago when the crop was es
pecially heavy and when the canneries
put up larger products than were
really warranted because they desired
that the growers should not be suf
ferers even though demand had been
materially slackened by the war.
Plants Run to Capacity. =.
Hawaiian Pineapple Company is now
putting up from 10000 to 10000 cases
of fruit per day. In its large cannery
there are working about 1000 oper'
atives, mostly women and girls,
though these are not permitted to ap-
proaeh near or work at any machin.
cry which might be dangerous to life
or limb and are worked only In safe
places and at clean and pleasant
duties. .z..
The Hawaii Preserving Company is
outputting about 10000 cases daily
and in its cannery there are employ ed
about $50 operatives of the same class
as in the adjacent plant of the Hawaii
an Pineapple Company They are Of
all nationalities. Hawaiians, Japanese
and Chinese predominating. This
company is also increasing its plant
with new buildings. p: -.
Libby, McNeill & Libby are employ
ing about 500 women, girls, boys and
men in each of their two canneries
and their output is running up to or
in excess of 10000 cases of cans per
day. From these figures can be based
what the Hawaiian Islands Packing
Company, Pearl City Fruit Company
and Thomas Pineapple Company are
doing, both in furnishing employment
during the packing season and in out
putting preserved pines for the delec-
tation of families in all parts of the
world. Then can be formed some idea
of the vastness and Importance of this
great Hawaiian industry. 1t is safe
to say that the canneries at this time
are employing between 1000 and 5000
people and the output is in the neigh
bornood of $4,000 cases day at this
time. .'%-
Make Employment Attractive.
AS an example of what is done to
make the occupation attractive TO
and girls may be cited the
'act that Libby, McNeill and Libby
install schools and churches about |
heir canneries, furnish moving picture |
shows, give dances and at Libbyviile |
rave arranged accommodations for
upwards of 100 women and girls with
i nlatron in charge to look after the

comfort and the moral conditions
which surround their employees.
i Whence Labor Is Drawn.
1t is small wonder that with the
sugar plantations paying high wageS
in the shape of bonuses and the pine.
apple growers and Gamers also shar-
ing profits, with by far the greatest
proportion of the labor in the can.
neries coming from the city, there
is a shortage of labor about the homes
of Honolulu And were it not for the
fact that the schools furnish so much
of the cannery labor it would be felt
in all parts of the island But those
who go to the preserving plants are
to great extent class that are not
fitted for plantation labor, or which
would not leave their homes in and
about Honolulu for that class of work.
Year Appears Prosperous.
Though the output of the six pine
apple canning factories on this island
will probably not be so great as last
year, the proceeds will without doubt
be considerably larger for then prices
were low, at a minimum. whereas
they are now higher in the mainland
markets. Yet this does not nlean that
the canning companies will reap full
benefit for they must pay more for
labor, for sugar. for cans, for labels
and in fact for all that goes to make
their product. Beyond doubt, all OF
the companies will have year of pros
perity which will go to make up for
the lean year 1915, but by no means
all the increased prices obtained goes
into profit. Still 1916 promises to be
a year highly satisfactory TO this
great Hawaiian industry.
