ARE WE TO BE TOLD
THAT WE CAN'T QUIT
OUR JOBS EN- MASSE

What is this stuff from Washing
ton?
What is this compulsory arbitration
business?
What is this Woodrow Wilson
wind?
This stuff is just this:
If this law goes through-this thing
proposed by Woodrow Wilson - we
may as well kiss our strikes goodbye.
No strike while investigation is on.
No strike for 80 days after some kind
of a commission makes a report.
Nice medicine for the railroad men,
isn't it.
Will they like that kind of dose /?
Not if we know them.
But Wilson is strong for this propo-
sition. He wants it worse than a
small boy wants a new batch Of mar
bes.
He will get it if we don't make the
swiftest, hottest kind of a fight.
And if that kind of stuff can be put
over for one class of workers, it can
be put over for all classes. States can
slam bang at those that are not hit by
federal law.
Every little dinkey plute-server in
every dinkey little office will put a
new edge on his axe and go out for
the scalps of more working men.
Knock this bill dead right where it
is. Get busy with big fight and nail
the thing to neat wooden cross out
in the back yard Raise a row and put
it on the blink ACTION, MEN, AC-
TION.

WE'RE ORGANIZING
PRINTERS INK FOR
LABOR'S BIG FIGHT

There has just been a convention
held in New York city.
At this convention the National
Labor Publicity Organization was
formed.
This organization is going to OR
CAME PRINTERS INK FOR
LABOR!
That's a big job. 1t needs to be
done. We're on the way now.
This organization has for its job
the building up of the labor press and
the gathering and distributing of la
Dor news.
That's a big job. But it must be
done.
Labor needs publicity-must have
it. And it must have EFFECTIVE
publicity. That means ORGANIZED
publicity.
Today every powerful channel of
publicity is in the hands of organized
wealth The news of labor's strug-
gle is submerged, distorted, filled with
treacherous half truths.
Now we are forging a weapon to
fight that condition.
The National Labor Publicity Or
ganization seems to fill the bill. May
it soon become truly national in scope
and power.
1t is a good beginning. But only
the hard work of labor can keep it go
ing and building. LABOR MUST DO
THAT HARD WORK! 1T IS A
PART OF THE PRICE OF LIBER-
TY!

Hughes, ex-canddate and ex-justice
is shocked because some people seem
to think that Judges are just mere
men, whose utterances and actions
should be critized in the same fashion
as we do those of other mere men.
He said so in his speech to the New
York Bar Association, of which he is
the president.
This lawyer, who some years ago
fought the attempt to compel the cleo
trio companies to place their wires
underground and thereby lessen the
risks that both the electrical workers
and the people were subjected to from
overhead wires, mouthed the usual
Tory phases. Critism of the courts
was ''officious intermeddling. Judges
should not pay too much attention to
popular" critism, and then this slap
at the people that for impudence and
superciliousnes is sure some GENT
do not care much for a general pop
ular discussion of judges and law
yers."
Now will you be good, you common,
ordinary citizen, who does just useful
work for living. Who are you that
you should criticize lawyers on or off
the bench who decide how, when, or
where you should make your living,
and who collect nice, big, fat chunks
of greenbacks for doing this job.
Shame on you for critizing "your bet
ters" and arousing Charlie Hughes
whiskered wrath.

Capt. W. MatSOn
Dies Suddenly

The Kahului Railroad Co., received
a wireless message yesterday morning
from Alexander & Baldwin, Honolulu
announcing that the information had
just arrived of the death in San Fran
cisco of Captain VIM. Matson, head of
the Matson Navigation Co. This news
followed a press wireless to the effect
that Captain Matson was seriously i'll,
the trouble being a cerebral hemor-
rhage.
Captain Matson was personally well
known to many people on Maui. When
comparatively young men he ran a
sailing vessel between Islands ports
and San Francisco, frequently coming
TO this island. He had much to do
with organizing the company which
bears his name and was a large stock
holder in it.

Structure To Have Not Less Than S75
Square Feet Floor Space
Possibly Available

Frank j. Hare, postof1ice inspector,
came to Maui Saturday morning to
look into several matters connected
with his department, the most i'm
portant, perhaps, being that of new
postoflice building at Wailuku. He
returned to Honolulu Monday night.
The inspector found that the post
office Accommodations at the county
seat were not satisfactory, the build
ing being old, not properly arranged
and too small; and decided that steps
for a new building should be taken at
once. Before leaving he drafted a
notice to the public, the following be-
ing the most important points in it:
"The undersigned will receive pro-
posals up to and including October
20, 1917, for the furnishing of. suitable
quarters for postofice purposes at
Wailuku, Hawaii, under a lease for
five or ten years from February 1,

Tennis Tournament

game having already been played in
which Caleb Burns, the new assistant

The following games have been set

ford VS.. Townsley; Saturday, Hansen
VS.. Hoogs, and Penhallow VS.. Aiken;
Sunday, Blair VS.. Engle and Rietow

ner of this tournment last year.
In order to create more interest
among the ladies, Mrs. Caleb Burns
has offered to put up cup for All
Maui ladies singles. Owing to the
absence of any reliable data for the
handicaps it has been decided that
there will be no handicaps, and this
should bring forth some very exciting

More Pupils In School

Statistics completed by the Depart
ment of Education show that there
were 237 more children in the schools
of Maui in September than at the
closing of the term in June. The
June closing total was 1919, while
5O56 were on the rolls of the Maui
schools in September The gain
throughout the Territory was 2240.

Major Green Coming
To Maui Tuesday

Major Francis j. Green, who is in
charge of the selective draft in the
Islands, writes that he will arrive on
Maui next Tuesday morning, making
his headquarters at the Wailuku
Hotel. He will be here two days or
more, depending somewhat upon the
amount of work he finds to do.
All the forms, etc, have been sent
over ahead of Major Green, and the
work of preparing for the draft is
well advanced. His work here will
have largely to do with details.

Girl Knocked Down
By Auto In WaiIuku
Struck By Ford Car OF Honda In
COngeSted Street And Narrowly
Escapes Death

Rose Morchena Garban, Spanish
girl, aged IL, was run down by Ford
touring car opposite the makai corn
er of the postoflice, Wailuku, at Z
o'clock Wednesday evening and quite
painfully injured, although not dan
gerously so. She was picked up by
bystanders and taken into the office
of DR.. Osmers, where emergency at
tention was given, after which the
patient was removed to the hospital.
The car was driven by r. Konda,
the eighteen-year old son of s. Konda,
superintendent of the Japanese girls
boarding school, Waikiki, and was
proceeding down the street from the
direction of the Maui hotel. Two
cars We're standing on oppsite sides
at the postohiCe, and young Konda
turned to the left to pass around the
one nearest the building. At that
juncture the girl left the postohice,
passed back of the standing car and
was struck just as she emerged into
the street. The car struck her on
the left shoulder and drove or carried
her about fifteen feet, where she was
picked up.
The Ford car was tested at the
police station later and it was found
that the brakes were not working well.
No arrest was made, and probably
will not be.

MakawaO Organ Recital
A Delightful Affair

The organ recital at Makawao I'M
ion church, given by Miss Alice Har-
rison, organist of Central Union
church, Honolulu, Wednesday evening,
was a delightful affair." and all those
not attending missed a great treat.
The attendance was fair only.
Owing to the power being off until
o'clock, Miss Harrison did not have
the opportunity of trying out" the
organ, so that the entertainment Tues
day evening next promises to be even
better than the initial one, and it is
hoped that the church may be crowd
ed at that time.
