SEN. RICE SAYS TO
HELPL|TTLE FELLOW

The Legislature seems to De still
more or less in the air as to the mat.
ter of teachers salaries, which was
Done of the most important measures
to be taken up.
In discussing the increase of teach
ers salaries recently Senator G. A.
Rice called attention to the fact that
there are 1873 teachers in the Terri
torial schools who receive not more
than S55 month. ''"Now, isn't it
fierce" said Mr.. Rice, even to think
of man or woman trying to live on
$55 month The recommendations
of the Board of Commissioners is
something fierce as regards the in
creased pay of the higher paid teach
ers. They have boosted sky high
the pay of these top-notch people who
are now getting 5000 and even $500.
If we followed their recommendations
all the available increase would be
used up by the lucky bunch, and the
poor lesser ones wouldn't get any
thing. The committee on ways and
means wants to see the little salaries
raised, and raised very materially,
and we are going to make recon-
mendations along those lines"
1t now looks as though the divided
counsels in regard to the whole mat
ter would result in .postponing it un-
til the regular session in February

THE SLUMP IN RICE

The rico business has received a
serious set back in the prevailing low
prices of rice.
Rice is now quoted at CTS in guam
titles. With this comparatively low
price following the phenomenal high
prices OF n few months ago, and coup.
led with the high prices of labor the
rice growers are very much disturbed,
and are anxious as to the outcome.
Those who are in position to do so
are holding their stocks over for a
recovery in price.
The slump in prices is attributed to
a large crop in California. This crop,
it seems, had been largely placed in
Cuba, at high prices, but because Of
the financial crash there they are not
able to take it and pay for it, so it is
on the market, and California is flood
ing it onto Hawaii hence the low
prices.
Apparently however, the low prices
have not reached the consumer as
yet

INDEMNITY FOR
STRIKERS

The bonus percentage for the plan
tation year, ending Oct. 81, was ZIG
percent. This was based on the av
erage price for the year, which was
1874 cents. This means that the total
bonus for the year would be the
basic wage multiplied by 276.
From month to month u of this
bonus was paid on the basis of the
price for that month. These partial
payments must of course be deducted
from the 276 per cent total to ascer-
tain the balance due. Now, for part
of the time the bonus rate has been
much higher than 276 per cent, so
that in many cases payments made
outrun the bonus credit, and there is
no balance coming.
The ordinary laborer has not clearly
understood how this was going to
work, and has fiattered himself all
along that he still had $3.50 of his
bonus coming to him. The conse-
quence is that when he comes to the
pay window and gets little or moth
ing, when he was sure he was going
to get a small fortune, he is bitterly
disappointed, and feels that an in
justice has been done him.
With commendable patience and
courtesy the plantation authorities
have done their utmost to explain and
elucidate the situation, and make
clear to the dissatisfied that no in
justice had been done and that every
thing was straight and aboveboard.
1t is reported that one prominent
manager spent several hours with
his Filipino laborers explaining and
calculating the bonus to them, with
out any satisfactory result, until he
clarified it by means of diagram.
All of a sudden they Caught on"
and went away satisfied.
There is, and naturally will be, for
some time, more or less unrest and
idleness, but there has been no report
of any concerted strike or walk-out.
