Malcomb Franklin, at present collector
Of the port Of Honolulu, and Mr.. Frank.
in Is considering the matter before re-.
plying. Such isf more or less definite m.
formation received by The Advertiser
from Washington. E
That Governor Pinkham has ceased
to be regarded practically BY the ma.
tional administration, and that his rec.
concentrations have little or no weight
appears TO be evidenced by the fact
that no attention has thus far been
paid TO his recommendation of a man
to succeed Wade Warren Thayer "a sec.
rotary Of the Territory.
Whom Pinkham has recommended re.
mains yet q deep, dark mystery. The
Governor has not thought ct. TO take
the people into his eonfdence in the
matter. In Washington the interior de.
partment is equally reticent, apparent.
ly considering that there is no use in
mentioning any man recommended by
the Governor for the position. Although
IL is believed TINT the Governor for.
warded his recommendation 10 the ma,
tional capitol immediately upon the
resignation Of Mr.. Thayer, Il Is still
pigeon-holed by Franklin X. Lane, sec.
rotary of the interior. It is learned by
The Advertiser that Mr.. Lane has not
forwarded the recommendation, to the
President. That he win do SO at all
seems 10 be extremely doubtful. ,
The fact, announced yestarday, that
Mr.. Thayer has been asked to act as
federal disbursing officer during the
session Of the legislature indicates that
there is no intention in Washington of
appointing new secretary for two or
three mprths. probably until a new
Governor is named. ~ n. .., r
The Advertiser has for considerable
time had reason to believe, not only
that Pinkham would not be reappoiuted
upon the expiration of his term next
December, but that be would not even
be permitted TO serve out his term. The
news from Washington that his resigna.
ton will probably be requested comes

ton. ~. .... ~. -, ta.l,-.',.

3. III LABOR GET WARNING
- ... =
Loan Fund Commission Refuses
Request Of Contractors

Hawaii must not be considered a re.
cruiting station for the employment of
alien labor, and contractors who bid on
jobs with the expectation of being
allowed to employ such labor at cheap
wages TO the exclusion of citizen labor
at decent wages, have only themselves
to thank if they get into trouble. Such
was the gist of q declaration by the
Oahu Loan Fund Commission in refus-
ing to grant the request of Picanco
Cones for permission to employ non
citizen labor in the Hillebrand Glen
project.
Pieanco & Comes far underbid all
competitors for the contract to do the
work. Their bid was so low that q
protest was filed with the loan fund
commission on the ground that they
could not do the work for the amount
of their bid. The commission, how.
ever, after some delay, awarded them
the contract.
Immediately trouble was expert,
enced. The contractors could not for
some time furnish the bond required.
Finally they got it, and then they
wanted an extension of time in which
to begin the work. They got that, too.
Next they asked to be allowed to use
alien labor. -, C..
The commissioners yesterday, how.
ever, said they had evidence that ri,
cameo & Gomez wanted to use alien la.
bor, not because they could not secure
citizen labor, but because they could
get aliens cheaper, II was learned that
the contractors could get citizens for
$3.50 day, but that aliens could be
procured for $l.75 TO $2.25 a day. So
the commission turned down the re-.
quest of the contractors, and also
warned them that they must get busy
on the job at once or take the eonse-
quenees.
