les telephone" said Mr.. Cooke, sis
that it does not seem to cut down the
metallic traffic and in the islands we
look for no decrease in the wire form
of transmission"
In case the wireless telephone de-
velops to the point where communi-
cation can be attained with the coast,
the local company will probably un-
dertake that business. 1t is thought
that this development will probably
come very slowly, but the company
will be ready for the work if messages
can be sent that far. The cost of
talking to the coast by wireless will
probably be 81 minute, and the fact
of the high cost will make it prob
able that only important messages
will be so sent. This will mean very
accurate and clear apparatus to pre-
clude the possibility of static interfer-
ence and interruptions of converse
tion.
The Catalina island station is now
conducting two conversations at once.
without either interfering with the
other and to wireless telephone eX-
perts this illustrates the possible de-
of the instrument.

Sugar Slump Hits
Crockett Refinery
Prominent Business Heads of Islands
Leave on Trip to Mainland to De-
termine What Losses are and What
Is to be Done.

Because of continuation Of the demor-
allzation that has existed in the sugar
trade for the last two months, and the
fact that the terrific slump in sugar
prices recently has greatly affected the
Crockett sugar refinery at San Fran
cisco, so percent of whose stock is
owned in this Territory, a party made
up of four representative men in the
Hawaiian sugar trade left for the
mainland by the steamship Maui.
e. d. Tenney, John Waterhouse, E.
FaXson Bishop, and A. W. T. Bottom
ley will compose the party.
Go AS individuals
Saturday Mr.. Bishop issued a state
ment in which he said that the men
mentioned would leave Wednesday to
survey the situation on behalf of the
owners of the Crockett refinery, and
explained that they were going as in
dividuals representing the interests of
the island owners of Crockett stock,
and not as members or representa-
tives of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters
Association.
Represent Refinery Stockholders
In view of the tarific slump in
sugar, Mr.. E. d. Tenney, Mr.. John Wa
terhouse, Mr.. A. w. T. Bottomley and
are going to San Francisco to survey
the situation on behalf of the owners
of the Crockett refinery, 80 percent of
whose stock is owned in the Hawai-
ian Islands," Bishop said. "The four
of us are making the trip as indivi-
duals representing the interests of
the stockholders in the Crockett re-
finery, and not as members of, nor as
rnn tnf Of ho To
Planters association" he continued.
Do Not Know Conditions
Asked if it was true that every drop
OF one cent in sugar meant CORE
spending loss of $1,000,000 to the re-
finery, as has been reported, Bishop
said:
II cannot make any statement as to
that. AS a matter of fact we do not
know what the conditions are, and it
is to learn what these conditions are
at the refinery and to survey the stu
alton that we are going next Wednes-
day.
Somebody Bound to Get Hurt
when sugar falls from Is cents to
SIS somebody is bound to be hurt. We
intend TO learn just what the results
have been. Also, we have our crop
out here in Hawaii to make provision
for"
In reply to query as to approx
mately what loss the Crockett refinery
has been called upon to face as a re-
suit of the big slump in sugar, Bishop
said that that depended upon the
amount of sugar handled and the
amount on hand at the refinery neither
of which figures was available here.

Dissatisfaction with the working on
OF the bonus system in the final pav
ment and with probable earnings nj
present sugar prices can still be seer
ana heard of on Maui but an under
standing of the situation is being
given to the plantation workers. II
is not expected by plantation officials
thaI any complications or anythine
Ike an organized strike or general
"alkout Will result.
From various quarters come reports
OF men who have been working for
the plantations Offering their services
in other lines, to pineapple growers
ana others. Another class, those who
saved sufficient money, are reported to
be packing up their belongings and
preparing to leave the Islands but
that is not an unexpected situation.
Some instances are told of. where
plantation gangs have been much de-
pleted, where numbers have not shown
up to work, but no organization in
such plans has appeared.
Bringing an Understanding
So far as dissatisfaction with the
final bonus is concerned different plan
tations use different uethods in bring
ing about an understanding. At Wal
'luku the men were given slips telling
them what they would receive, told
to call at the office when there was
dissatisfaction and there explanations
were given them. Paia has tried send
ing out intelligent men as interpreters.
They were given a clear understand
ing of why some workers were re-
ceiving less than they expected and
this knowledge they impart to those
OF their own race or nationality. Men
of all the nationalities working on
the plantations have thus been en-
ployed. In such ways the plantations
are making it plain to the employees
that they are not being deprived of
any just rights or of any money to
which they are entitled, are being
shown how the bonus was figured on
the average price of sugar.
Planters Issue Statement
Relative to demands for a higher
Hat wage or a change in the schedules
which were made effective November
there is little being heard here, as
compared with the other Islands. That
labor can hope for nothing in that di-
rection is made clear in the following
statement issued by the planters the
last day of their meeting:
Certain requests and demands for
increase in the wage and bonus sched-
ule effective November l, 1920, having
been reported to the Hawaiian Sugar
Planters Association, the following
statement has been authorized, after
at it's annual meeting,
80, 1920.
During the past year the planta-
tons have kept absolute good faith
with their employees, despite the effect
of strikes and the action of agitators
