will probably have little effect upon the number of workers avail
able for plantation work. An increase in the wage scale of 25 or even
so percent would not have brought materially larger forces of
workers into the fields. There is not in the Islands, the source to
draw from.
The explanation of the action they took given out by the
planters makes the situation clear. Sugar prices are so low that
plantations will operate at a loss unless higher prices come. 1t is
better to cultivate at a loss than to abandon fields which would
later cost much more to get into cultivation again, when prices are
better. If they were driving away labor by the reduction it would
be another matter. If they could induce workers to come out by
offering increases, it would be different.
Here in Hawaii conditions are often anomalous, and so it is i'll
this instance. The planters say they are taking the only open
course and it would appear that such is the case. The cut is to be
regretted but the pinch of hard times always brings pain and re-

One comment heard frequently since the Fair is that it has been
shown unnecessary to send away for entertainment talent. The
programs of the first and third nights as compared with the sec

The Nippu Jill says there will be no strike of japanese laborers
because of plantation labor wage reductions but adds that the
planters should lay the facts squarey before the laborers. 1t has
generally been assumed that the laborers as all others must see the
fact that plantations are operating at a loss but if they do not know
this, certainly the Nippu Jill is right. The plantations are playing
fair and it is to the advantage of all to have the case set squarey
before the workers who are directly affected.

a division of the state which seems
satisfactory to the great majority.
The bill provides that forty-five coun-
ties lying in the northern and western
/ part of the state shall constitute the
northern district. This district will be
L" shaped
The remaining counties shall con-
stitute the southern district The
present judge and marshal are to be
the judge and marshal of the southern
district, and the president is authoriz-
ed TO appoint a Judge and marshal for
the northern district. The northern
district takes in practically all of the
northern part of the state from a line
drawn from the southern edge of
Adams county and extends as far
south along the western part Of the
state to include Knox county, of which

CAR
SERVICE
IN PICKUP

Jitney traffic between East Hammond
and the down town district has suffer
ed a slight slump this week cue 10 the
resumption of service ru the way
around on the street car line.
The deep sewer on Conkey avenue
has been finished and the cars now make
the full trip. For several months peo-
pie bound for East Hammond had to
transfer when the scene of sewer con-
struction was reached. This usually
meant a walk of over a block with the
possibility of missing connections with
the car at the other side Of the break
The result was that many preferred the
jitneys with the extra two cents fare
The shuttle car whfca operated on
Columbia and Morton avenues Is now
in regular service. The crews were
stationed on their limited run so long
that they became personally acquaint-
ed with about all of the street car us
ers of the East Side.

THEN THE POLICE
MOPPED UP BILL

Big Bill Shaughnessy used to pull the
Samson stuff in the movie studios at
Hollywood When a set" had been
shot" and was due for the scrap heap
they sent for Big Bill. 1t didn't make
any difference TO Bill whether the set
was palace, frontier stockade a
dolls house, or whole Town He
would just tear right in aid scrap the
whole shebang in a few minutes. Big
Bill was the champion scrapper of the
west cost.
Last night Big Bill tried the same
thing in Hammond. Big Bill became
intoxicated on moonshine. He mopped
UP. the street at Staye and Holman
stree>s with the diminutive Ed. Caijo.
Then the police arrived That is to
say-some police arrived. a few min
utes later more arrived. Some of these
who reached Big Bill first went away
or picked themselves UP and looked
around dazed like. But a half dozen
of the boys finally dubbed Big Bill
into submission and prevailed upon him
to enter the paddy wagon" for a little
ride.
Then they looked around for Eo.
Gallo, the innocent plaything Of Big
Bill. Ed had lit out when the melee
started. Officer Paul picked HIM up at
Calumet and Sibley few minutes la
ter. Ed. was still running when he
reached the police station. The fright
ened look in his gazelle eyes was SIN
there this morning when Judge Klotz
leaned over and murmured, rs and
costs for being drunk"
Big Bill cast a pathetic look such as
an elephant might offer cat on hts
little friend of brief. but bitter ac-
quaintance and fshed up $50 bucks for
the two of them.
