Hawaii Needs labor.

The great sugar, pineapple and cof-
fee plantations are facing extinction
as the result of the most acute labor
shortage in the territory's history. The
rice-growing industry of the islands
has been wiped out for the same rea-
son, and the business of Hawaii is
fast slipping into the grip of the Jap
anese. the dominating race in the ter
ritory. To meet the situation, Gov
ernor Mccarthy has asked the legis-
lature to memorialize congress, re-
questing the lifting of immigration
bars SO that labor, including oriental
labor. may be imported, with the pro-
viso that such Importation shall be
only for limited periods, and shall not
operate so that there will be within
the territory at any one time total
number of aliens of any one race more
than 25 per cent of the population of

Increase In Child Labor.

Increase in the number of child en-
ployees in the United States has been
almost exactly proportionate in the
last eight years, according to the Uni
ted States Department of Labor. Sta
tistics compiled by the children's bu-
reau show that 76.194 minors took out
permits in twelve representative cities
In the country to go TO work In 1920.
This compares with 81, 100 in 1913. an
increase of ID per cent. The popula-
ton of the II cities increased IA per
cent in the same period, the bureau
estimated.
More children received permits to
work in 1920 than in any year since
1913, except 1918. when war produc-
ton was at its height. The increase
last year was ascribed to the rise in
the cost of living and to labor short
age.

Would ArbItrate Wage Question.

Practically all the building trades
unions throughout the country are
willing to submit the question of wage
reductions to arbitration. William
Hutcheson, president of the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and join
ers of America, announced after a
meeting of the executive council of
the building trades department of
the American Federation of Labor.
While the council has gone on rec
ord against wage cuts, the labor lead
er said that the unions were willing
TO consider and accept any equitable
wage adjustment that would be fit
ting in view of any reduction in the
cost of living"
"We want to be fair and see build

The big building trades strikes in
Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia and
many other places, Mr.. Hutchinson
said, could probably be settled If the
employers would submit the wage
question to an impartial arbitration
commission.
