NOTICE
BONUS TO BE PAID TO PLANTA-
TON employees


The increased and amended Bonus
Schedule, as recommended by the
Trustees Of the Hawaiian Sugar Plant
ers' Association in April last. and as
generally adopted by the sugar planta.
lions throughout this Territory, does
not specifically provide when the
balance of the bonus due to employees
upon October 81, the end of the bonus
year, shall be paid.
Heretofore it has, been the practice
to pay the bonus due upon October
31st upon the November or the Decem-
Der pay day immediately following.
This year, owing to the increased
bonus rate and its application to day
men and contractors alike, 1t is esti-
mated that approximately Four Mil
lion Dollars (s4,0O0,000) will be due
and payable upon the bonus alone to
plantation employees upon October
3Ist. In addition to this amount, the
regular monthly pay rolls have to be
provided for.
II has therefore been definitely de-
eided by the Trustees of the Hawaiian
Sugar Planters association, in order
to relieve the burden upon the local
banks, that all plantations located
upon the islands Of Oahu and Hawaii
will, where practicable, pay the bal
ance of the bonus due upon October
31st during the month of November,
while those plantations located upon
Maui and Kauai will pay the bonus
during December. 1916.

crafty some Of the wants which are
entirely natural and to be expected
of the average American.
IAN examination of a number of
studies of the budgets of American
workingmen's families indicates that
the point of adequate subsistence is
not reached until the family income
is about $500 year. Less than half
of the wage .earners families in the
United States have an annual income
of that size, according to all statistics
of income for workingmen's families.
Living Wage Is $500.
IF this be true, over half of the
families of American wage earners
must either lower their standard of
life in other respects in order to have
an adequate diet, or make sacrifices
In their diet In order to secure
healthful housing, favorable COM
munity environment, and a few of
the reasonable comforts.
THE effect of the rapid increase in
the retail prices of foods that have
been found to constitute the diet of
workingmen's families can not be
overlooked as an additional factor in
this connection. Between 1900 and
1913 the average increase in the re-
tail prices Of foods was about so

lished by the Department of Labor.

BY DANTE BARTON.

An enormous grab at the public
wealth has recently been made by
big corporations with the help of the
United States Senate.
The Shields Water Power Bill.
which has passed the senate and is
now in the house Of representatives
of congress, is the worst attempt to
get the natural resources of the peo-
pie into private hands that has been
pulled off in years.
Unless the people back home beat
this iniquitous grab in the house OF
representatives the biggest remaining
source of public wealth will pass into
the hands Of private privilege. WITH
OUT COMPENSATION AND FOR
EVER.
The bill will give away all the
water power of all the navigable
rivers of the United States.
The natural wealth thus to be lost
to the people if this Shields bill goes

|0RClANllz!E LABOR STARTS STATE WIDE
CAMPAIGN FOR STATE INSURANCE PLAN

Organized labor in Minnesota is beginning an aggres-
sive campaign for state insurance. Workingmen ask
that the present compensation act be repealed and in
lieu thereof that the state create administer
for the purpose of compensating all workngmen who
may become injured at their occupations.
This fund is to be raised by levying specific tax
on industry, the rate thereof to be based upon the
hazard of each occupation. Every dollar paid by
employers of labor for insurance will find it's way into
the pockets of injured workingmen dependents
of workingmen who lose their lives at their work.
BY such plan it is believed the compensa sation will
be adequate to sufficiently and justly pay all
cidents without imposing too great hardship upon
industry. The cost of administration it is proposed
will be paid by general taxation from the saving to
be effected by removing from the courts the handling

with them will the claim agent the one remaining

Since workingmen's compensation became effective
in Minnesota private insurance companies have been
reaping bountiful harvess. As under employers

les, stores, laundries and in industrial
occupations generally worked at
wages of less than $s per week. Ap-
proa1inately one-fifth earned less
than 81 and nearly one-half earned
less than Sc week.
But the workers are not allowed
to earn even these amounts in every
week Of the year. The report says:
"A conservative estimate, based on
all the available statistics of loss in
working time, would appear to be
that wage workers in the principal
manufacturing and mining industries
lose on the average from one-fifth to
one-third of the full working time
during a year from all causes.

statistics of total incomes of wage
workers families point to the con-
clusion that the average total annual
family income (including earnings of
women and children) in the principal
manufacturing and mining industries
has been between 500 and $500 in
recent years. This average, however,
does not adequately depict the real
situation; for the conclusion is also
indicted that one in every 10 or -
workingmen's families had, at the
time of, the Investigations an annual
income of less than 5000 q year; that
nearly a third had, incomes Of less
than $500, and over one-half had In
comes Of less than $3.50 a year.
