Indian Princess
Ideal Medium

If one were to ask Charles Wake
field Cadman how he came TO be as
ISOLATED with the fuIl-blood Indian
singer Princess Tsianina, he would
probably answer, 1T was fate, or
else 1T was just a natural conse-
quence'. And thereby, hangs little
tale.
one or two investigators in the
field of American Indian lore had
made public their chronological and
musical findings quite a few years
came upon the scene. But their pre-
sentation of the subject had been
more stereotyped,-less Of an enter
tainment" than Cadman foresaw to
be the logical thing. Arthur Tarwell
who followed Alice G. Fletcher, the
great scientist and pioneer in the
propaganda to whom Cadman owes
his start in the work, lectured and
gave instrumental examples Of Indian
song idealized and met with consld-
cradle success,-but he had no vocal
assistance nor did he have songs and
ballads based upon Indian village
life such as Cadman afterwards
nodded from the crude melodies. 1t
was in 1908 that Cadman conceived
the idea of his Indian Music Talk"
and 1T is significant that the words
music talk" are now a part of AM
erican musical language. The COM
poser seemed to feel that the public
would not stand" a dry lecture
recital on the subject Of Indian folk
lore, SO he decided to design a pro-
gram that would contain three
fourths vocal and instrumental ma
teriaI based on native themes, and
one-fourth analysis delivered in an
untechnicaI manner with succinct
and snappy sentences; augmented by
a collection Of native musical in.
struments including a genuine fiage-
olet.

collation. of half of the sale through in
ability to deliver by the last issue Of
the Louisiana Planter to be received

no direct contract for purchase and
sale made but that there was merely an
understanding. In part the article
says: Y IT,

the following telegram from Mr.. G. A.
Spreckels: .. FL ~
American members of international

tion state that Louisiana committee
who arranged with American Sugar Re
fining Company for the sale of one hun
dred thousand tons desired only to treat
with the American Sugar Refining Com
pany, and for that reason no refner
but Mr.. Babst was bidden to the con-
ference held at Washington. Can you
ascertain il this is fact and that
Louisiana planters do not wish to
trade with any but the sugar trust
which seems almost incrediblef An an
swer by wire at my expense would be
much appreciated.

follows: g.. :.
Your wire received. Special in

gram confirms our previous understand
ing that!nO contract for sale Of hun

merely obtained from Babst agreement

from planters are now being arranged
for, other refHers having equal privi-
lege of participating in the purchases

Three QUESTIONS
OVERSHAD0W ALE AS
PLANTERS convene
Annual Meeting Which viii Open
a Week From Monday VIII
Be Full of importance
SHIPPING, WAGES, AND
BONUS QUESTIONS UP
demonstrating and Renewal Of
LeasesWiILAIso Likely Come
+ Under Consideration
WHOM the Hawaiian Sugar Planters'

When the Hawaiian Sugar Planters
Association meets a week from next
Monday there will be awaiting its con
siderRtion the subjects of more than
ordinary Importance. 1t is probable
that the program will be about as in
former years although it is possible
that some committee reports that
have heretofore been crowded back so
that they were not read in convention
may be advanced on the program so as
20 avoid such occurrence this year and
that II ANY do have to be omitted it
win be some Of those which have not
been so omitted in previous years.
Reports which may be expected to
be taken up early in the coming con
vention will cover three of the more
serious problems which will be before
the annual meeting of the planters,
These win be shipping facilities, wages
and proposed changes in the bonus
system. In the latter connection it is
probable that the requests recently re-
ceived from the japanese Higher Wage
Question Association and which is
printed in full on this page, will be
given consideration. H 4E
Shipping and Fertilizer @E la
Shipping and wages are probably the
most important of the problems of the
planters this year They have other
problems, as well, and some of these
grow FROM the shipping shortage. One
af these is the obtaining of nitrates,
an absolute essential for the success
Of the crop here. II was said yester-
day by a member of the Association
that without the required fertilizer Ha-
waiir would produce only about 200, 900
tons of sugar instead of about 600 900.
As il is quotations on fertilizer have
risen ninety percent, and there is no
assurance that it will be obtainable
even at those figures. S'
Wages and Bonuses
The labor problem will present its
own difficulties. A hard and fast rule
for all the plantations which would
increase either wages or amount paid
in bonus or both would be an impos-
sible burden for some of the smaller
and less successful plantations to bear.
What the larger and more prosperous
plantations might do would be i'm
possibilities for less fortunate bnes
and If some should have one scale and
others another it would be impossible
for those which were unable to meet
the higher figures to secure labor. VI
Leases and Homesteading ..s.
Still another subject which may come
before the meeting at one of its ses-
sions is that of demonstrating, changes
in land laws and leases and renewals
Of leases which have come in for SO
much attention from the congressional
party on, its visit here, Loss of leased
lands, or failure to secure renewals as
the leases expire would be serious
blow to several of the plantations,
The coming session is certain TO be
an important one and full of vital in.

most important industry and the con,

Observation-Disclosures
PLANTATION LAB0RERS SPECIFIC
Chief Cause Of Complaint Appears To Be That Not Labor Is
Allowed TO Participate In Full Bonus Payments Under Twenty
and Ftteen-Day Regulations and Contnuance Foe Year In
Employ Ra3#Eat s&e& 4 81.

Is probably not small one. Accord.
ingly ~ seems that with payment Of the
bonus laborers can sneet their increased
cost Of living. There are, however,
several restrictions 70 the application
Of the bonus system. Namely, unless
labofers work twenty days, in ease Of
men, and fifteen days, in case Of WON
en-, during d month, and unless their
regular wage Is not more IN ~ ga per
month, and further unless they continue
TO work on, the same plantation until
the end Of a bonus year, they are not
to participate in the bonus Conse.
auently, many laborers who do not come
under these restricted conditions for
some reason or other, are not il 4 cnn.
dition to sustain a severe pressure on
then living -
con the whole, the present bonus
system is IA discriminatory method of
laborers, treatment Observed from
the sole standpoint Of an encourage
ment Of laborers' diligence the system
is evidently nothing but perfect one.
It Is true, however, that Il can not be
taken as a method giving all laborers
a higher wage as this association re.
quests 'E
requests Of Association
Z. H0nt the foregoing grounds this as.
ISOLATION presents the following re.
quests 10 the Hawaiian Sugar Planters
Association.
r't1. Corresponding to the increase
Of the cost Of living Of the plantation
labofers, a proper method of higher
wages shall be adapted.
"9. If the present bonus system Is
desired to stand for such universal
higher wages, the following amend
ments TO the system shall be made.
ga. The restriction on the number
of work days and on the amount Of
wages TO participate in the bonus shall
be repealed. ,s,I.
''b. A reasonable bonus shall be
given to laborers who are not able to
continue to work on the same planta-
tion until the end Of bonus year. on
account of either accident, illness, mar
rage, OF return to their home country.
(" 80. There are large number of
married laborers suffering for living
on account Of the inability Of their
wives to work because of being called
for care of their children. Therefore,
as the necessary remedy for these Ia
borers one or more adequately provided
children's homes shall be erected in
each plantation. ID
h "In conclusion, this association hopes
that the Hawaiian Sugar Planters As.
ISOLATION will give a generous considera-
ton to the foregoing and will grant
the above requests" .tys, H.. r.t,8
