A Real Phi|anthTopist,

One of the most pleasing
things we have heard of late
ly is contained in the will of
the late Andrew Freedman of
New York, the bachelor who
left an estate valued at $1,000
900. the bulk of which is to
be used eventually for the es-
tablishment of a home for the
aged on original lines which
the founder himself had for
mulated. 1t will be known as
the Andrew Freedman Home.
1t will receive aged persons in
INDECENT circumstances with
out regard to race, sex or
creed. and especially will it
care for old couples who, in
the evening of life might
otherwise be forced to live a.
part. MIR. Freedman selected
twenty four persons, who will
be requested to act as trustees
of the home. They represent
various races and religions
and their selection shows that
the testator intended that the
institution should have a
representative board. Mr.
Freedman. evidently. belongs
in Ben Adhems class.

CANNED Pines TO
Go Up in Price

In an interview given to the Port
land Oregonian, which appeared on
November "a, Theodore Baumann tells
of pineapple growing and plantation
labor conditions in Hawaii He is re-
ported as follows:
Common canefield labor commands
wages from 80 to so per cent higher
in the Hawaiian Islands at the present
time than before the war. Wages OF
clerks and others of that class have
been increased but little.
These are two of the salient fea-
lures of an industrial condition exist
ing in the Hawaiian Islands as ex-
planned by Theodore Baumann, for
merly of Portland, but now an extern
sive pineapple grower near Honolulu.
"Mr. BauLaann said at the Seward
Hotel Yesterday that he saw an in
eyitable increase in the price of all
canned goods, due both to the high
price Of labor and the high price OF
sugar.
"He is the operator and owner of a
4Oo-acre ranch on which be grows
nearly 1000 tons of pineapples, He
used to be a clerk for Sealy-Mason &
Co. of Portland, but just 20 years ago
he left this state and sought his health
and fortune in Hawaii. He has been
in the pineapple growing business
about half of that time.
1--we are unable to get many I'M
skilled laborers,' said Mr.. Baumann.
we get few Japanese and few
Filipinos. but from Portugal and other
U~,,ronoop countries we are not abs
to get any more laborers.
