ON PLANTATIONS.
ARE EXCELLENT
Japanese Consul Moroi Spends
IL Days on Kauai; Heard
No Complaints

That conditions surrounding Japan
csc lahorers on plantations on Kauai
are excellent; that no immediate inn
provements are necessary, and that
he heard no complaints regarding the
new bonus system. are, in part, the
findings of Hon. Rokuro MOroi. Jap
anese consul-general, who returned to
Honolulu Sunday morning after an in
spection of Nipponese labor condi-
tions on the Garden Island.
In an interview with a representa-
tive of the Star-Bulletin this morning,
Consul-general Moroi said:
Il have spent II days on Kauai and
during that time met more than 5000
Japanese men and women and also
their children. This was my first visit
to that island | inspected every plan
tation where our people are employed,
| am more than satisfied with condi-
tions on the plantations. The labor
ers are also pleased with their treat
ment. | have heard often about the
bonus question since / have been here
but there was no talk about the sys-
make any complaint to me.
Sat Koloa plantation the iaborers are
given beautiful homes to live in and
they are kept as nice as many of the
residences in this city. At first / did
not know that some os these houses
were common laborers' homes. met
some of the most prominent people on
Kauai and they told me that there is
no labor trouble on that island be.

Without my advice the laborers
will make their permanent homes on
Kauai 1t has often been reported
that the camps at the plantations OF
that island need Improvement. but
this is not so. The dwellings that the
plantations furnish to the laborers are
fine. was told by managers that
these quarters are cleaned by the
plantations at their expense. What
more can the laborers expect?
4 have no complaints to make
against the plantations for their treat
ment of laborers, but discovered
that among the laborers there is too
mucn. extravaganza and TOO many
small Japanese stores.
The financial condition of the Ia
borers is becoming poor on account of
easy money ] found that some la
borers have spent as much as $500
for the celebration of a child's birth
day. | emphasized that they must be
very economical in their daily lives
Japanese merchants in this city must
be careful of their Kauai trade and not
give too much credit to the laborers
on that island .-.---.. -.. $50 =
Il especially emphasized that they
must not spend their money in unnec-
essary ways. They have everything
that is necessary from the plantation,
but they must be careful with their
savings" -. <ss II ~.

The whole thing will be a mock
political campaign. To the students
in the upper grades will go the honor
OF running for such imaginary Offices
as mayor, supervisor, senator and
representative The students in the
lower grades will do the voting.
All of the st. Louis students are
taking keen interest in this new edu-

is also enthusiastic. He feels that
it will be excellent training for the

if in the future they become aspirants
for bona fide territorial and county
offices.
The names of those boys who will
run for office" have not yet been
made public. When the campaign
comes to an end the entire school will
