WAGE And BONUS PROBLEMS to-
OCCUPY PLANTERS ATTENTION
Plan Nav Be Proposed to Fix Bonus Based on Aggregate
AVERAGE Business Of Uncertainty of Shipping
Excess Profits Taxes and lndefinHeness Of 1918 Market
Make Solution Of Problem Difficult " - "

That a plan may be proposed to Tx
a bonus based on the aggregate aver
age business of the Hawaii planta-
lions, following the annual meeting OF
the Hawaiian Planters Association
next week, is intimated by directors
of the organization. + !,
Most of the planters are loath TO
discuss the, subject until SON sit finite
slan of action has been eyolFei ar the
annual meeting. Z. Faxon Bishop,
vfee-president of the association and
head of the labor committee. auihos-
ICES the statement, however, that he
prefers the establishment of bonus
payment for laborers for 1918 which
will be estimated on. the actual results
of the years sale of Hawaiian sugar.
:, The total amount and price received
for the sugar would be averaged up
for the different plant2 ions and tie
tf nus payments made acoss-imsly.
Whether this plan would provide
for q partial bonus payment monthly
as In the past is not made clelr; res'
Their is the attitude of the planters re-
garding the complaints OF the japanese
Higher Wage Association against being
required to work 20 days a month and
remain with one plantation for a year
in orde: to receive the full bonus.
The Japanese Wage Association in
its lengthy letter to the planters ask.
ing that more money be paid to the
japanese laborers on the plantations Is
regarded as indefinite in stating just
what is wanted Several interpreta
tions as to the requests of the Japa.
nese have been made.
Some think that higher straight
wage is what Is aimed at; others that
the Japanese want a larger bonus,
and stiIl others that it is the restric-
tions OF the present bonus system to
which the main objection Is made.
The labor and wage question for
the plantation laborer is certain to
occupy q great part or the time of the
planters at their annual meeting.
The association has several problems
involved in the wage question, The

Hawaiian plantations: for raw sugar,
through the price fixing of the food
administration, still remains in some
doubt. : ~ ..'.
Throughout next year the planters
may have to pay high fluctuating
freight rate in order to get their sugar
to the refineries instead Of the iloml'
nal rate of about 81 a ton as in the
past, due TO the . government opera
ton of the ships In the Pacific, as well
as in the Atlantic. f.. 81: :
Also there ;, is, the possibility that
sugar may have TO be stored for long
periods due to lack of ships to carry
it away. - e &>.e...s ..... .~sr-,
Besides, there is the great increase
In federal taxation which the Hawaii
an corporations will have to pay to the
federal government on account Of the
war revenue bill and the increased
cost OF production. - H.. .-.....-.. =
!. With all these problems to face,
and the japanese laborers, the United
States government and the sugar
plantation stockholders to satisfy, and
with all the other different angles, I'm.
decided ones which cannot pc aceu'
rately anticipated. the dilemma Of the
planters association seemingly Is a
difficult one. : -
There Is still one other element
which makes the problem all the more
difficult OF solution. This is the fact
that the increased cost Of production
makes it impossible for some of the
poorer paying properties to agree to
the continuance Of the present bonus
system. S. s.FsSsss. 2, ssss,-ss55. i. So
Divergent views are held by the
members of the Planters Association
as to what action to take at the an
nual meeting. L. IS. &
One suggestion which 1t is believed
win be that the present monthly part
payment be continued to allow the
planters more time to determine wlla,
additional amount, Ii any. can be paid
when costs of production, including
freight charges and the receipts from
sugar sales, have been definitel,
aseertained.

The fact that the market has re.
