island PRODUCE
COSTS TO0 HIGH
Army Officer Explains Why Ser
vice Here Refuses To Buy
Island Grown Vegetables

p" There has been talk on the streets
of Honolulu for some time, TO the effect
that the Army is not patronizing Island
firms and helping the food situation by
buying island produce,p said Maj G.
8. Lincoln, at the meeting Of the food
commission yesterday afternoon.
" / have taken up this question with
the Quartermaster Corps" he con-
tinued, "and am informed that
there is absolutely no discrimination
against island vegetables or other foods.
But in almost every instance the local
firms lose out because they do not offer
the produce as cheaply as do the whole
Jsalers who are handling imported goods.
~" Army supplies are bought from the
lowest bidder, quality being equal.
Here's the latest instance OF why
the Army Is not getting island grown
foods. The Department opened bids
this week for Juiy provender. The ter
-ritorial marketing division rendered a
bid TO supply quantity of one vege-
table at figure of something more
than 81 bag, or 4 cents pound. The
lowest bid received on that same item
onered an imported article at less than
two dollars. u IN
''The soldiers on Oahu consume an
enormous quantity of foodstuffs and as
we of the Army see it, there's lust one
reason why those foodstuffs do not
come from island farmers--that "a lack
of thorough, practical farming or
iganiEation in Hawaii. XVI q.
/" | find, for one. thing, that the. terri.
.torial marketing division, which is en-.
leavoring to handle the farmers sur.
plus crops, can never be, certain of the
quality of the produce until Il arrives
in Honolulu; that It invariably is not
graded and that they cannot tall two
or three months ahead whether there
given food. N,
The Army will gladly do its share
IN helping the Hawaiian growers, bnt
they must have an efficient, business or.
ganization IL they hope to market their
crops in businesslike way and get a
profit Ky. : -, "a

"A much better quality of sugar has

Of Charles Holoua From !,

A general strike of the steyedores
win be called, to go into effect Jnly /,
unless the steamship companies meet
demands that are to be made by Che
poolas for forty cents an hour and
seVenty-fve cents for overtime.
Information 70 the above. effect was
obtained last night from members Of
the, steyedores' union, confirming re-
ports that had been received by The
Advertiser during the day. 8. 49,
MayoT-eleet Joe Fern, Sheriff Char.
les Rose and John Wise, unsuccessful
aspirant for the shrievalty in the re.
cent primaries and now bosom friend
and probably confidential adviser of
Mayor Fern, were present at the two
meetings of the. poolas at which the
strike was decided upon, and, accord.
ing TO statements made last night by
members of the union, are taeitly at
least backing the stevedores in their
demand and threatened strike. n
The agitation for higher wages fol
lowed the return from the Coast of
Charles Holopa, sent from here as a
delegate from the local stevedores
union to the convention of stevedores
unions held recently in Tacoma,
Washington. .v ST.. ,-
Holona made his report Thursday
night, June 2, to the stevedores at a
meeting held at Poola hall, corner of
Liliha Street and Holokalana Lane.
He had previously written that he. was
returning accompanied by an agent of
the national organizations who would
organize a strike. The agent failed to
come, however. But Holoua, it is re-
ported, returned filed with enthusiasm
and determination to obtain higher
wages for the poolas. ...,''
According to statements by members
of the organization, Fern, Rose and
Wise were all present when HOloua de-
handed that each of the poolas put up
90 as his contribution to fund to
finance a strike, and likewise are cred.
tied with attending another meeting
last Thursday night, at which the
plans for striking were advanced.
The steyedores are now getting thir-
ty cents an hour and fifty cents for
overtime, they having been granted an
increase in pay recently, following q.
return to work after strike in which
lawlessness was conspicuous But they
are not satisfied with this, and stll
believe, that they are underpaid.
Holoua is now living in the old fifth
district stables, which are no longer
used by the city and county, A letter
was written, to him yesterday by the
mayors secretary, ordering him to va
cate his present lodgings, as the city's
chief executive did not intend to have
him make a living house rent free out
of city property.
Three hundred men are reported to
have signed up, already, and members
of the poOlas' union said that plans
were being made to enlist not less than
1000. ~ -.
