PAR VALUE Of BREWER
SHARES MAY Be CHANGED
Shareholders of Three Planta-
tons Ask For Reduction

The stockholders of three of the
Brewer plantations, Hawaiian Agricul-
tural, HOnomu and Pepeekeo, have re.
quested the directors to change the par
value Of tn" shares from 800 to TWEEN.
ty dollars.
II this request is complied with each
of the present shareholders will, on sur
rendering their stock certificates. re-
ceive five shares for one. 1t really
makes no difference ia values but
makes transfers and sales more con
venient The present day tendency is
towards low rather than a high par
value for all kinds of stocks.
If the requests of the stockholders
shall be granted there will be 100000
shares of Hawaiian Agricultural Com
pany to represent its 100000 capi.
talizatiOn and 81, 800 shares each Of
HonOmu Sugar Company and Pepee-
keo Sugar Company TO represent their
respective capitalizatiOns of $3.50, 900.
Based on present quotations Hawaiian
Agricultural would be quoted about
forty dollars, Honomu forty dollars, Pc.
peekeO thirty dollars, on the proposed
new basis.

Contentment Reiq,is

TIME bonus system adopted by the sugar plant
i ers throughout Hawaii is yielding far better
results than anyone, either employers or employed
had believed would be possible The managers re.
port a bigger daily turnout of laborerS than there
has ever been in the history OF the industry. and
change in the morale of the laborerS.
1t has always been considered a serious defect
of the plantation system that the Iaborers had little
sense of responsibility and a rule gave little hee
TO their employers interests Men would not III,
finger to prevent waste destruction of property
if it was something outside OF their particular
duties. and here the sense Of individual reSpon-
sibiIy for losses to their employer was very lax.
The bonus system has changed all this. for it ha>
brought home to every empoye on the plantation the
truth that the company business is his business.
The laborer has become part owner in the panta-
ton that employs him. If there is needless
destruction Of property part of the loss comes o.
of his own pocket Hence every man has become
the luna of every other man, and makes it his bu>i
ness to that work is done it should be. and
he puts in his best work himself Hence sugar is
being made today cheaper than. it has ever been
produced in Hawaii and this under the highest wages
paid laborerS in any sugar country in the world
I'or>, the standpoint of the laborers they 6nd diff
6culty in expressing their extreme gratitude and ap-
preciation Everymail brings to the agencies in In
nouu formal letters couched in terms of the deepest
satisfaction that the planters have gone far bevon
the expectations of their employees in this matter Of
voluntary wage increase.
The adoption of the bonus system BY the Dlant1-
tons has done more to increase mutual friendship
and understanding between employees and employer
than 1nt one action ever taken and it has proved
mutually profitable to both.

CIxTY THOUSAND y
- MILITIA IN FIELD

WASHINGTON, June 30 - With
10000 militia men from the Eastern
Department on their way TO the Dor.
der, and with 10000 additional men Ia
camp and waiting for the word TO en-
traiu for the front, Washington Is
breathing easier over the Mexican sit.
uation, although officials admit that
the outlook continued grave. The in.
dications are that General Carranza in.
tends to confirm the orders issued BY
General Trevino, forbidding American
troops from moving in any direction in
Mexico, save toward the border.
This, however, is unsupported by any
definite statement from the City Of
Mexico, and there Is nothing to indi.
cate when the de faeto government in.
tends to reply to the note from Mr.
Wilson, demanding the release Of the
prisoners and the reputation of the
action of General Trevino in ordering
the attack on the troopers of the Tenth
Cavalry at CarriSal.
Washington officials admit that they
are puzzled by the action Of Carranza
in liberating the prisoners before an.
swering the note, or indeed acknowl.
edging the receipt of the message. They
point out that this is a most unusual
method Of handling diplomatic ex.
changes, and confess themselves at p
loss to understand the attitude of tho
Cnrranza government.
According to reports that have reach.
ed this city from Columbus, New Mexi.
co. the situation in Mexico grows more
acute daily. Trevino is said TO have
moved his troops into position TO at.
tack Pershing's column at any time,
and IL said TO have mobilized 10000
cavalry at Bustillo, and to have 10000
infantry and cavalry at Villa Ahumada.
Two thousand Mexican troops are at
Guzman, and other large bodies are
stationed at important points, or are
moving to the border.
Trevino Ready To Strike
The war department yesterday ad-
mitted that this, II true, indicates that
TreVino is preparing to strike, and
they agree that the reports Of Gen.
eral Pershing's activity in concentrat.
ing his own men in advantageous posi-.
tons probably are true. and that the
American commander Is preparing to.
meet any attacks that may be launched
at him. " 60
e The Preparations for war with Mexi.
60 continued undated yesterday. State
troops were being rushed to border
posts, or camDed IN their own States
ready for any orders or sudden emer.
gepey The war department announced
that three motor trucks of New Mex.
can militia had been sent across the
border, the first of the State troops
10 make that move, to assist in guard 4

The Coast Strike

TINE disturbing feature of the LongShoremen )
i strike the Pacific Coast is that the fight is
being made on the adoption of the CLOSED shop
principle. Higher wages will be paid without oIucS-
ton so long there is no revolt against the higher
cost of living that Swages-ncrease always creates
So long the land is enjoying high of pros
perity there is little likelihood of serious objections
to granting general increase of pay to tie work
ers in any specialized industry and it is generally
acknowledged that the longshoreman and sevedorc
have to work under extremely trying conditions.
The man who slows freight in the fetd, unventilat
ed holds OF deep-sea carriers must judgement
as well Drawn and sweat. He handles great
weights and unwiedy packages in cramped elbow
roo and to fulfil the demands of his employers and
of maritime competition must work swiftly and with
some under standing of his problem, which is that
the vessel shall withstand the bufeting of great
without shifting damage to the cargo he has stow
ed. This is looking at the problem from the view
point of the man who does the work. In diSChargny
cargo the conditions fully as arduouS and TRYING
The lading and unading of ships is dangerous a.
well as arduous occupation.
Ship-owners and shipper acknowledge all these
contentious. and also willing to admit that the
hazard involved calls for remuneration above that
paid shore workers. They take issue with the labor
ers, however, on this broad general ground, that
the lading of the ships is merely one of the minor
steps in the merchandising of goods.
The real fight is not between the LongSlorcmcn|
and the ship owners. 1t is between the longshore-
men and the buSln, public, and public opinion in
the United State has never backed up the Conten-
ons of organized labor that the right of any man to
work at any employment for which he is fitted shall
be denied him because he does not belong to a labor
union. 1t is right and just that men working at
any trade or profession should form societies. unions
and organizations to better the working conditions
by which they surrounded. No one denies their
right to limit their membership in any manner they
see fit so long their rules and regulations do not
transcend the law.
But when labor union denies the right of men
not enjoying the privileges of membership to engage
in that particular line Of employment public opinion
does not uphold organized labor in its arrogant con-
tentions. The merchant, farmer and manufacturers
want service, and long service is efficient they
are willing to pay for it. The slowing and handling
of cargoes of merchandise in transit is simply one
detail OF the service they expect to get when they
deliver their goods to a common carrier for trans
portation to distant market.
If the labor unions force this issue of the flnda-
mental right of any one group within the community
10 dictate terms of employment to those not mem
bers OF that group it will be settled on the basis of
fair play The verdict of the American people will
not be rendered in their favor
