union leaders never saw each other
during that series Of conferences
covering over twelve hours. A propo-
sition or suggestion from one side
was carried by the Commissioners to
the other, and after consideration II
was accepted, rejected, modified, or a
counter proposition sent back. No
body dined, nobody supped, that
night; there was no time for It.
When the conference broke up at
3:46 a. m. Monday, an agreement
had been reached upon a program
for returning the men to work and
submitting the differences to arbi-
tration. This agreement could not,
Of course, bind the body Of strikers
until Il should be ratified by their
mass meeting, which was promptly
called for $3.50 Monday afternoon. II
was necessary that absolute secrecy
be maintained about the agreement
that had been reached; and despite
the number of people necessarily
privy to the situation. this confidence
was maintained inviolate. When the
employees mass meeting received the
proposition Monday afternoon It was
promptly ratified.
Repeatedly, during the twelve-hou
conference, the situation was near
the breaking point. Time and time
again one side or the other insisted
that further parley was useless; they
would go out and fight. But the
Commissioners each time insisted or
further effort, and in the end &C,
complished what at the beginning
had seemed quite the impossible. II
could have been done only through
the utmost patience and earnestness
with the exercise Of tact and diplo
macy, and through the cooperation
Of level-headed, earnest men as rep
resentatives Of both the men and tn,
companies.
There was one stage Of the nego
tiations at which failure was pre-
vented by q bit Of quick work tina
is worth recording. When it hat
been agreed that the arbitration
proposition should be submitted I,
the men, the companies wanted tn
mass meeting to be held at a ca
barn; the men wanted it at uniol
headquarters. There was a hard nu
to crack.
"Well," said the Commissioner
you'll hold it at neither place. w
will provide neutral ground for it."
"But who'll preside at such
meeting?" came the next poser
Neither side was willing to yield o
this highly important point.

KEEP THE MOUNTAIN PARK FOR THE
s PEOPLE.

Do the people of Honolulu want the public lands on
Tantalus and Round Top saved to the public, are
they willing that very large part of these lands be
cut up into bnidmg-iots for lucky few?
This question rises with insistent sharpness because
members Of the board of agriculture and forestry last
Friday decafcd in favor OF opening much Of the pub
lie lands for horesteads. Ill.,"
This means the ruin of the Tantalus- Round Top
public park scheme as indofsed by hundreds of Ho-
MOULIN citizens who have gone over the ground. If
the idea OF cutting APP these lands make omestes
the forestry board there ought to be protest Of vo
hume and vigor fhatwill show exactly where Homo
hilank stand. sks
Members of the board say that sites for hundred
homes can be secured Yes-by spelling the public
park plan. Moteoyer, the men who first or finally
will get these building-lots will be men wellto-do-
men who own autos who can afford at least down
town house and mountain home. In other words,
the people who need public park the most will be
shut OFT.
And one more Of Honolulus priceless public assets
will pass into private hands.
The time to fight for public rights on Tantalus is
now.
After the lands pass into private hands, they are
gone forever the public viii have to buy them back
At an enormous price. Tantalus and Round Top will
be like Honoulus beachesowned by private citizens,
who resent-qute naturally, too-the encroachment
Of the public on their premises
This Tantaus park scheme looks far into the future
ten years, twenty years fifty years from now. Each
year there greater need for free outdoor spaces close

JAMES WHITcoMB RILEY.

James Whitcomb Rieys death removes one of the
few American poets who escape the almost opprobri-
GUS term minor"
Critics do not class him great man of letters,
but If universal popularity is any criterion, he was
among the foremost lteraeurs of this generation His
verses had much the same appeal those of Burns:
and his poesy was almost equally facile. 1t is dis
tnguished by genuine feeling, by remarkable under
standing of human nature by breadth and kindness
of view as welcome as smiling face. Then, too, he
has preserved for the students and historians of the
future the quaint dialectic mannersms and ineface
able pictures of the customs of Hooserland from 1870
to the present time.

Time was, not so very long ago,

lines of injustice and law lie SO close
together that whole communities have
either refused to decree the difference
or In their mad rush for material gain
have accepted fallacy and innuendo
as their proper code of ethics. While
polluted minds of individuals spring

striven 10 overthrow the remaining
leaven Of justice and have actually

horrifying acts against the struggling
masses of poor suffering humanity.
