James Mordic of Allendale,
who has been one of the active
growers and shippers of sweet
potatoes from Keevil this season,
was in Brinkley Wednesday and
told me of the Allendale farmers
shipping another car load of
sweet potatoes the past week.
They shipped this time to Topeka,
Kan, and put 576 bushel crates
in the car. Those who put in
potatoes in this car were James
Mordic, ]. M. Young, John Miley
and J. H. Simpson. The sum of
$1.15 per bushel net to the grow
ers as they loaded them on the
car at Keevil was the satisfac-
tory price they received. AS
I've said before of this Allendale
bunch of clever farmers, there is
not another neighborhood in all
Monroe county more deserving
of praise. This is about the 10th
car load of sweets that has been
shipped from Keevil and they
did it all themselves They've
responded to suggestions given
them, have succeeded in their
efforts and are making for their
neighborhood name for their
product sweet potatoes. They
are live and progressive bunch
of farmers and business men,
for | contend that any farmer
who does what they are doing is
every bit of a BUSINESS man.
What they have done with their
sweet potatoes, they can do al
so with their hogs and cattle. II
they'll only stand together and
raise one breed of good hogs, and
one of good cattle. so that when
they want to ship car load they
can always make up that much
by chipping in on the shipment,
just as they have done with
their Nancy Hall Sweets, and
they can get the cold cash"
f. O. b. Keevil for any other pro-
duct they have to sell.

RAPID SPREAD OF
|. STRIKES IN PORTO
RICO PREDICTED
Outbreak of Labor Troubles at
Height of Harvest Season
Will Seriously Retard

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico. Feb. 10
The critical strike situation Is now
absorbing the undivided attention OF
local sugar producers. to the exclusion
OF all ether developments affecting the
sugar industry, both Of a local nature
and those of worldwide importance.
The arrival of Santiago lglesias,
head of the federation OF Porto Rico,
On February IA, was, as had been pre-
dicted, the signal for the beginning Of
a general strike which the laborers in
the sugar industry threatened TO 10.
augurate unless their demands for an
eight-hour day and a dollar a day
wage scale was granted by the sugar
companies.
Assuming Serious Proportions =.
DIP to this writing, or In less than
two days, 1900 laborers have joined
the strike movement in response to
the orders issued by their leaders.
Present indications point to rapid
spread of the strike and its ultimate
magnitude seems very likely now to
assume serious proportions. Coming
at this time, at the very height of the
harvesting season, and when all the
mills are being driven to- capacity to
handle the estimated record
crop, these acute and alarming labor
troubles will unQuestiopably slow
down production and il Continued for
any considerable period will eventu.
ally materially reduce. the islands pro-
.duction for this year, now estimated
at over the 100000 ton mark.
Prior to the advent Of the labor
troubles last week the harvesting Of
cane was moving rapidly. Practically
every mill in the island was under full
operation. As the crop progresses,
however, it Is becoming more and
more evident that there will not be the
cane tonnage per acre that there was
last year, but sugar men generally ,ex.
pect that with an increased sugar re-

INSURANCE CODE
GIVEN HEARING

u
Radical amendments to the proposed
new insurance code for Hawaii, now
before the Legislature In the form OF
House Bill 90, may be made as the
result of . hearing on the measure
last night before the members Of the
judiciary committee OF the house.
These amendments, as proposed last
night, cover but one department of the
proposed code. that relating to the
question Of fraternal organizations and
societies and fraternal insurance.
A. d. Castro, an, OFFICER OF the Lusi-
tsna Society, the big Portuguese
beneficiA organization. suggested that
the sections OF the code relating TO
frsternal insurance be stricken from
the bill. and either be put into a sepa.
rate bill or be considered, with view
to alteration. by . special committee.
Il do not Relieve, argued Castro,
that these sections cover what We
really need here 10 regulate our af.
fairs" -
Territorial Treasurer c. J. Nc.
Carthy. who waa Instrumental in hav-
Ing tie new coda compiled, pointed
out that upd&c theSe laws the terri.
tory can control certain societies and
organizations RON transacting shady
procedures whate6y they finally get
the peoases m9rey and the people get
nothing in Tia sAd.
Chairman L9trin Andrews suggested
that Castro spd Treasures Mccarthy
confer sometime this week and take
up together any amendments to or
changes In the sections In question
that Mr.. Castro may have In mind.
, Mccarthy explained that the code
has been pronounced satisfactory by
all the. men who. have been connected
with Its compilation. Attorney Mar

board of fire underwriters, said he was
satisfied witHt the code. Il was also

LAND, NOT TREES,
in CONTROVERSY

A resolution introduced by Judge
F. NJ Hatch giving the Rapid Transit
the right to relocate its tracks in kap
iolani park and a letter from George
NJ. Collins, city and county engineer
informing the board that unless the
ironWCod trees are cut the contractor
might have cause for action against
the city as he intended to use them
for firewood in accordance with the
contract, reOpened the question as to
whether the trees should be destroyed
to make room for the tracks in the
center of kalakaua avenue and al
though no definite action was taken a
new point brought up by Hatch caus'
ed considerable discussion. T..
In introducing the resolution. Hatch
stated that it carried out his opinion
that the board has full, control of the
park and can say where the tracks
should go. No other body, such as
the utilities commission or the public
works, has any authority in the mat.
ter and to make it clear ! introduced
the resolution" Hatch said. =.
In regard to that strip OF land
where the ironwood trees are stand
ing. / maintain that the board has no
right to turn it into roadway" Hatch
continued: THE PARK was given to
the board as public trust and. for
that reason the legislature alone has
the power to let US use the park land
for a road. It makes no difference to
me, whether the trees stand or not but
the land cannot be touched. The
people here do not seem to have any
idea what trust Is. The road COM
mittee has done Just what the new Of
fetal, as proposed by the new char
ter, is supposed to do and done it
better than be could but they have no
right, as see il, to use that strip.
Changes Location Of Tracks + -
Hatch's resolution changed the To-
cation of the tracks so that they would
not destroy the corner at Park road
and on that point the board was
agreed but the majority still believe
the present plans should be carried
cut with a few notifications. Hatch
also suggested that another concrete
road. could be constructed inside OF
the. strip. ..... II -,1
In reply A. NJ. Cristy, deputy city
attorney. declared that the power over
the park given the board allows them
to. build roads through the parks and
therefore the strip Of land could be
used, He also again pointed out that
the board has no more right, being a
property holder, to. change the plans
than has any private Individual prop
ertys owner. = III @ e.. ~ :.
II was finally agreed that the reso-
luton pass first reading with sthe ,urf
derstahdiriS that on Che second read.
ing. II sh0atd be amended in regard to
the curveef the tracks.

ROADWAY
MAY BE SETTLED

After many years Of wrangling the
questioned right Of way across the
Kaneohe ranch from Waimanalo road
to Kailua beach seems in a fair way
to be settled.

flee, which has been working on the
case for several months, reported to
the hoard Of supervisors Tuesday
evening that an agreement had been
reached whereby If the makai or north
erly, end Of Kailua road should be re-
located to split the boundary between
Kaeiepuli land and the land belonging
to Mamie X. Rice, he Bishop estate
would give is feet from the present
road back OF Kawailoa beach lots
along the land of Mamie r. Rice so as
to make this full 38-foot road. :

and voted to take the tnatter up with
the land commissioner.
