PREVENT STRIKE
SteVedores Propose to Present
New Wage Demands
. to Shippers

That there will probably be no sec
ond strike Of stevedores July !, and
that an increased wage scale will be
secured by arbitration in the mean
time between the longshoremen and
shipping interests OF Honolulu, was
the consensus OF opinion today along
the waterfront
At the time OF the first strike, which
kbegan September IS, 1916. the ship
ping firms made 1t clear that the stew,
edores should have presented their
demands first instead OF walking
out. AS it was, the strike dragged
on for several weeks and the
men won no victory, McCabe, Ham
iltoR & Kenny simply putting an in
creased wage scale into effect with
the shippers consent and taking the
strikers back to work as they applied
for employment The union was never
recognized. The increase was 50 per
cent Of the amount demanded by the
strikers.
Reports along the waterfront today
we're that the proposed strike is be,
ing engineered by Charles Holoua
" III was I1OuOlulu iOCdI uSicSdlS "
the recent Seattle convention OF Long
shoremen Of the Pacific.
Holoua is said to nave told the Ioca'
stevedOres that he has seen Captain
William Matson o: the Matson line
and that the captain had promised To
use his Influence to get more money
and have the non-union lunas now
employed by McCabe. Hamilton &
Kenny discharged.
Stevedores seen this morning by q
Star-Bulletin reporter said a meeting
will be held tonight in Poola (steve-
dores) Hall, Liliha street and Holo-
kalana lane, at which a committee is
to be appointed to draw up state
ment OF the mems new demands,
which are said to be 40 cents an hour
for day work and so cents overtime.
One stevedore claimed the men would
ask for so cents an hour for day work
and 81 an hour overtime. The pres
emit wage scale is 80 cents an hour and
40 cents overtime. Before the strike
last fall the scale was 81 for a 9-hour
day and IS for. 9 hours of night and
overtime work. -

\ great many men have been
writing about foreign loans. and
very much unsound doctrine has
been printed If a foreign loan is
made no one in this country is
benefited except the receiver of the
interest, while n domestic loan bene-
fits a very large number II a man
loans 100000 TO foreign corpora
ton, individual or nation, he alone
gets all the benefit that comes from
that loan II the loan is made IN
this country TO start a business or
enlarge one already in existence,
many people are given employment
and many families have an addi-
tional income. Foreign loans should
only be made when there is no way
OF investing the money in this coun-
try. The important exception. of
course. is loans designed to extend
American trade.
Recently the bankers in Kentucky
have resolved to invest their money
as far as possible in that state One
banker asks why not loan money to
farmers instead of sending il down
to New York; If loan is made to
a reliable farmer for investment in
cattle, where the soil aud climate
are peculiarly favorable to cattle
raising. il will not only add to the
farmers wealth, but be OF benefit TO
the whole state. Such reasoning
has resulted in the Kentucky bank
ers putting out a cattle note at
such a rate Of interest and on such
time that it is hoped the result will
be a large increase in the output of
cattle in Kentucky and add greatly
to the wealth of the state.
No such result as that would
come from foreign loan. AS long
as there are natural resources in
this country that will return fair
profit if developed, there should be

for the benefit Of drainage in good

laws that they DO work a hardship

couraeed and assisted in the work

rne counties already have their
highways built and in good paSSlble
con 'i,ion They have been built at
a great expense 10 the counties.
Now is il right lhat these highways
should he cut "a pieces for the pur-
pose of draining private lands and
counties, who have built them once.
BE- compelled to build them into
passahle condition again at srea,
expense II the drainage district
wants and needs an easement in

II should leave the already existing
easement OF the county in the same
condition that il finds il. All the
argument the friends of this bridge
law can make cannot get away from
this fundamental proposition which
has been common among men ever
since they began to borrow pitch
forks from each other Ii occurs to
me that the drainage district wants
TO borrow the countys pitch fork
and thinks ii is all right TO return il
with the handle broken out,
There is another matter Of seri-
Gus concern in this law Ii enables
the drainage district to cut the
highway where il pleases. then de-
sign a bridge, and then hand this
design over TO the county with
demand to build this bridge. Under
this arrangement one municipal cor.
poration is burdening another muni-
cipal corporation with a load of tax
without the consent or approval of
the corporation which does the pay
ing. In other words the disttict
makes the bridge necessary for its
own benefit and then makes he
county build the exact bridge he
district deems suitable. The coun.
ty has nothing to say about the de-
sign of the bridge nor ANYTHING else,
All the county has to do Is to pay
for the bridge. This is a dangerous
6wer to place in the, hands Of any
Corporation. This is destruction Of
