- HAT drastic control of the fish.
ing industry In Honolulu, as well
j as control of prices, and the local
market, may, at some future date, be
assumed by the territorial food com
mission, is one of several theories
which may be drawn from recent
meeting of the fish committee Of the
food organization.
After a discussieR/pf the recon-.
mendations of DelbeflDE. Metzger Of
Hilo, in which he suggested the aD-
pointment Of an agent by the counts
sion to supervise the industry and fix
maximum and minimum prices for fish
in the Crescent City. the consensus
of opinion OF the members appeared
to be that conditions In Hilo undoubt-
eddy would apply IN Honolulu.
Should the commission apply to-
Honolulu the Recommendations made
by Attorney Metzger. the commission
would take charge OF the local fish
markets. appoint an agent TO fix the
maximum and minimum prices OF fish
sold at Wholesale, and the maximum
price of fish sold at retail Sampars
returning from sea would be required
to disclose the amount of their cargo
and. the agent would have authority
to make rules and regulations which
would be enforced by the imposition
of small fixed penalties, These, IN
effect, are the recommendation Of the
Hflo attorney, who has made thor
ough investigation of the fish situa-
ton i'm HiIo, and who claims that the
wholesaler has the retailers and the
public virtually at their mercy.
Another meeting Of the fish com.
mfttee is scheduled for next Monday
afternoon at 2 O'Clock Each member
has been asked to present a plan Of
action, and from these indfyidual
plans a definite scheme Of meeting

charging him with completely in the
plot to foment rebellion in India,
has not yet reached Honolulu but, as
local officials believe the demurrer
and motion were based on technical
points only, adyices regarding the
judges ruling are expected any day,
According to San Francisco news
papers arriving here in today's mail.
the demurrer and motion to Quash
filed by Mr.. Rodiek attacked the valid
ity of the indictment. Rodiek is rep
resented by Attorney Theodore Roche
Of the law firm of Sullivan, Sullivan

of its kind in San Francisco.

LABOR ISSUES

a. nth a view to materially broad
" ening its scope of work. the ter
W ritorial food commission, at a
meeting at o'clock tomorrow morn
ing, will appoint a committee which,
in the future, will handle all prob
lens pertaining to labor and labor
conditions The committee probably
will consist Of four or five members,
men well acquainted with local labor
problems.
The necessity of the committee is
due to the fact that, at the present
time, there is a lack of labor for the
rice industry. A Hebard Case, agent
for the commission on Kauai, recently
reported that the rice crop on the
Garden Island will be unusually large
this year. In 1918, he says, more
than 400 additional acres of land will
be available for planting rice, but that
the lack of labor to work the fields
is proving a serious problem. The
lack Of labor for the rice fields will
be one of the first investigations
made by the new committee.
mr.. Cases recommendations have
got to be taken care Of" says J. F.
Child, assistant executive officer OF
the commission, and the commission
feels that this can best be done by
the appointment Of a separate COM
mittee."
The recommendation that the COM
mission enforce compulsory spraying
of potatoes throughout the territory,
in order to rid the fields of blight
and horerS will also he discussed to-
morrow. The commission may au
thorize the purchase of apparatus to
take care Of this work.
An attorney is to be appointed to
take the place of A. L. Castle, exc
cutive officer, on the legal commit
tee. Attorneys W. L. Whitney and R.
B. Anderson are among those recon-.
mended to fill the vacancy. A new
chairman of the marketing commit
tee will also have to be appointed.
No other changes in committees are
contemplated.

Water for the cattle would have to
be furnished by a roof system as wells

ticable.
The suggestion has also been made
that Farm may be able to sell his
herd TO the Maui ranchmen who have
also had their cattle vaccinated with

FOR GUARD Co
Representative Association to
Meet Soon to Discuss Mill
tary Organization

Enthusiastic over the announcement
by Governor Lucius E. Pinkham Of his
intention to have a company Of Ha-
waiian-born Japanese organized in
the National Guard of Hawaii, mem
bers of the Japanese-American Cit.
zens' Association are planning to dis
cuss the matter at q meeting to be
held tonight at the store of ]. T. Mura-
kami on Hotel street. Edward Town
send, interpreter, and head Of the as
ISOLATION, stated this morning that he
and others feel that this Is a special
honor accorded them by the chief ex.
ecutive of Hawaii.
1--WE are very glad to know that a
company of Hawaiian-born Japanese
has been been advocated by the gov:
ernor," said Townsend today. This
proves clearly that the United States
government has a confidence in the
loyal and patriotic spirits of the Japa-
nese in Hawaii. This Is q special
honor to US. And we highly appre-
ciate it," concluded Townsend.
That there are several Japanese
American citizens in the territory is
the opinion of Townsend. Besides
these, almost alt the Japanese IN the
territory are willing to shoulder guns
and help fight for the United States.
Some of the prominent merchants,
though not Of Hawaiian birth, are
prepared to 60 to the front and fight
for the American flag!
Already some of the members of the
association, it is said. have selected
men. whom they think will pass a sue
cessful examination, both physically
and mentally, when ordered to appear
before the examining board Of the
United States army men stationed
here.
Asked whether they favored having
white officers to command their com
many. if organized. almost all the mem.
bers of the association who were seen
on this subject answered in the az
firmative.
Racial issue does not enter our
mind" said they. What we want to
see is the organization of a Japanese
comDany in the National Guard. We,
