BILLIARD CHAMP
GOES TO COAST
ON MANOA TODAY

Mr.. and Mrs. William F. Hoppe
were passengers on the Manoa this
morning. They will go to San Fran
cisco for a week and will then leave
for the East, where Hoppe will meet
number of the leading billiard
stars. It is hoped that match will
be arranged with George Sutton, as
he appears to be the only man on the
mainland at present who Could give
the champion a contest.
Hoppe will meet h B. Benjamin on
the mainland, and both will go East
There is rumor that Hoppe and va
NADIA will not be under Benjamin's
management next year. Both Hoppe
and Yamada were popular here, but
Benjamin's attitude in knocking
American sport, and his efforts to
create a sensation by offering fabu-
lous sum to Duke Kahanamoku for
turning professional did not make
much of hit with the followers of

tFrom tie Hawaii HOchi.)

The question OF higher wages for
the plantation labofers is now COM
pletely settled between the plantations
and the iaborers, and the laborers on
the. sugar plantations are now almost
rid of their hardships Of living. on ac-
count OF additional wages they are
going to receive; they are now en-
titled to receive 8 per cent augmenta-
ton on their wages as long as the
market price Of sugar stays at the pre-
sent base.
II seems a great advancement OF
wages for the plantation laborers, but
Ii is rather small compared to the
planters profits The advancement
OF wages which laborers are entitled
to receive hereafter is only the plant
ers' offer, not the slaborers' sugges-
ton. II will need some consideration
to make a demand for still higher
wages after they have been raised.
but on the American mainland 1t is
not strange for white laborers to
make another demand for still higher
wages; they are not afraid to ask for
what they want.
With the great profits Of the plant
ers at present, they can readily meet
the demand for still higher wages. IL
the laborers request II. The planters
have enormous profits to pay laborers
from, and stiH more surplus profits to
pay as special diyidents to their stock
holders The question is, shall we
or shall we not ask the planters any
more?
We will suggest to the plantation
laborers to make one more demand
on the planters not a matter OF
wages. as that is already settled, but
q demand for Improvement OF houses
and camps which the laborers are
given to live In by the plantations.
Some plantations have already inn
proved their laborers' quarters to a
