There two places where these troublesome Ger

Order HEARING

The question as to whether S.. Sa-

tor who was the lowest bidder for the
new Kaahumanu school building, is a
responsible person and should be
awarded the contract was raised by
Ben Hollinger, who asked that pub

ing next Tuesday evening with the
lowest three bidders present.
The lowest three bidders are: S.
Sasaki, $24, $50; Joseph Neves, $26,275,
and Henry Fernandez, $26,750. The
Pacific Engineering Company, John
Walker and J. L. Young were other

the board did not have the right to
investigate the responsibility of Sa-
saki and Charles F. Chillingworth. who
said he represented Sasaki, told the
board that his client was an American
citizen and was ready to give 100 per
cent bond.
A. NJ. Cristy, deputy city attorney,
said the board had perfect right to
hold an investigation providing 1t was

Pier 9 Investigation and Re-
ports of Investigating CON-
mittee Cause Hot Session

Superintendent Forbes and the har-
Dor board last night exchanged verba!
broadsides at a meeting of the harbor
board-each accusing the other OF
shortsightedness and lack of ability in
handling the Pier 9 probe" situation
With Chairman Forbes behaving in
what Commissioner Tom Church this
morning called "a petulantly childish
manner" and declaring that the in
vestigating committe of engineers
which criticized his alternative plan
for reconstruction of Pier 8 did not
know its business, special meeting
OF the board of harbor commissioners
last night resulted in the commission
ers turning on their chairman and
scathingly denouncing his conduct.
The commissioners roasted" Forbes
fast and furiously.
The uproar started when the Ques-
tion of accepting the report of the en-
gineer committee, consisting of G. H.
Gere, Carl B. Andrews and George w.
Armitage, on Forbes alternative plan,
came up.
Commissioner James Wakefield
started in by saying he thought the
committee of engineers should have
criticized Forbes alternative plan in
more detail than it did The commit
tees report on Forbes scheme said it
did not care to enter into any contro-
versy with him. Wakefield. thought
tie committee should have disagreeG
with him more fully and gone into
greater detail as to their reasons for
such dissenting opinions When
motion was finally carried to accept
the report and place it on file he voted

This resulted in Forbes accusing the
Earbor commissioners of hasty and i'll
considered action in adopting a new
system for the reconstruction of the
Piers s. 9 and 10. He made what the
commissioners today agreed was an
undignified and uncalled for attack on
Cere, Armitage and Andrews.
The commissioners came back at

ments were ridiculous and generally
censured him for his attack on the
engineers. Commissioners Church and
Mccarthy were particularly sarcastic
in referring to Forbes spending his
time on trips to the mainland and
Washington when he should. they said,
have been on the job here superin-
tending work on the piers.
Forbes was attended last night by
flying squadron Of engineers, several
from the public works department, in
Guiding w. c. Woodward, his assist
ant; DESMOND, L. H. Bigelow, L. S.
Cain and Henry zap. Their letters
supporting Forbes were read at the
meeting. ..-
Commissioner Mccarthy told Forbes
point blank that the chairman had not
shown the right spirit in the pier con-
troversy all the way through and
should not have chased off to Wash
irgton" so often. 1.
Forbes Has Emphatic Answer
Forbes had prepared and last night
made public detailed statement an
swering vigorously and emphatically
the criticisms of the investigating en-
gineers, Gere, Armitage and Andrews,
and declaring inferentially that they
are proposing to waste the territory's
money. .s>.1
This statement took up their own
criticisms point by point and hurled re-
joinders to every one.

CONSIDER ROADS
Plan OF ARNOLD

To take UP further with Charles n.
Arnold his proposed solution of the
road problem that confronts Honolulu
end Oahu and which the Auto Club has
Endorsed and agreed to stand behind
w. r. Harrington, James McCandless,
George Angus and r. b.. Booth calle1
at the city hall last night toward the
close of the meeting of the board OF
supervisors. Following the meeting
the plan was taken up and Informally
discussed by the committee Arnold
and other members of the board. r.:
AS had already been outlined in the
Star-B Bulletin, Arnold has a definite
proposal for tax. law which would
make available funds for roads which
the Auto Club believes would suffice
to ultimately bring about a system OF
good roads.
Harrington, acting as spokesman,
said that the club believed that the
county should be allowed a full one
per cent with certain additional spe-
cification set aside in special fund
for road construction and maintenance
This plan may not work out" he
said, but Honolu!u itsgrowing rapidly
and something must be done If the
city and county is to have sufficient
money to run its business. We have
come here to obtain. assistance from
you and get something started"
Supervisor Larsen then sprung his
$2,000,000 road bond scheme which
has for its underlying principle doing
away with the frontage tax law.
Larsen's scheme is to issue $1,000.
COO worth of bonds which he declares
will give the county sufficient money
to construct all its roads. The bonds
would be sold in blocks of 100000
each year for period of four years,
To take up the bonds, which would be
issued for 5, 10 and Is years, he plans
to set aside each year one-quarter. of
one per cent of the assessed valuation
OF the county which,, he figures. would
be about $4,000. X ...z>% ~.
Larsen says the reason frontage
tax law is open to. attack is that it
may prevent the poor man from own
ing home. Anybody knows" he
said, that a number of these improve
ment districts would not have gone
through If property controlled by the
city and county had not been added"
Following the meeting the Auto Club

BARGAINING AGAINST THE PUBLIC
(From Daily Financial America

(From Daily Financial America.) ,
What seems apparent in the present attitude of
organized labor is that unrestricted freedom in the
use of the strike is regarded as far preferable to
a raise in wages for minority of organized labor.
In obtaining the passage of the Adamson law, rail
road labor leaders secured what seemed to be a
legalized promise Of the government to force the
railroads TO raise the wages of some four hundred
thousand railway train operatives But the passage
of the Adamson law committed the president-and
virtually committed Congress as well = to the
enactment of a law which would reduce the strike
peril by making it illegal to strike until after full
public investigation of the merits of dispute had
been instituted and completed Here was some
thing far more serious to organized labor as a
whole than the Adamson law was seemingly bene-
fetal to a small minority of organized labor And
while there could be no question of the legality of
a law thus dealing with strikes, there was much
question as to THE validity of a law dealing with
wages as does the AdamsOn act.

The arrogant and unpatrotic attitude ofthe rail

their success last fall in bufaoing the Wilson adj
Eministration just prior to the election Even the

in excusing his attitude in surrenderng executive

Congress at that time, the brotherhoods are at
lacking by iRdireetion the supreme court of the
United States. They are virtually holding the strike
club over the court to hasten a decision on the
Adamson act. Terrific as may be the consequences
of nationwide. strike, it is hard to see how the
railroads can do other than fight the brotherhoods
to a finish, and in lighting TO keep their lines in
operation, they should have the immediate help of

colds, stomach trouble, kidney misery,

People who feel good one day and
