LABOR
COMMISSION ASKS FOR
CHINESE LABORERS

The Hawaiian Emergency Labor
Commission, which was created TO
help the Territorial Labor Commits
sion, now in Washington, is going
full swing with an office, secretaries,
stenographers, n everything, in the
Senate chamber of the Capitol build
ing. Edward Henriques is in charge.
A business house to business house
canvas is being made by the mem
bers of the local commission. The
object of the work and the great
need of immediate kokua is being
explained. And every business in
the island is showing its apprecia-
tion by helping when asked.
A large number of kilograms have
already been sent to Congress and
to individual Congressman telling
them the situation that now faces
Hawaii and urging their immediate
and hearty support. No early action
is expected however due to the fact
that the tariff and the tax bills now
have the whole attention of the
House and Senate.
The American Federation OF Labor,
backed by small labor organizations
in Hawaii, is still using every means
of defeating the bill, They say that
they fear an importation to Hawaii
will open the doors to the Orientals
on the mainland. Such a suggestion
is enough to get California and Cal
ifornia Congressman up in arms.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, has
pictured Hawaii as a place of bond
age, where the rich get richer as the
poor get poorer. He states that nu-
merous government reports showing
the true, deplorable condition of Ia
Dor in the islands, have time and
again been suppressed because the
sugar interests are too strong to al
low them to appear.

YOUNG BOY KILLED
BY AUTOM 0B|LE.

Manuel G. Silva Jr, nine year old
son of Manuel G. Silva, Senior, of
kalaheo was almost instantly killed
last Tuesday morning when he was
run over by Dodge automobile own
ed by Antoine Medeiros Sr., and
driven by Antoine Metros Jr. The
accident occurred between 10 and IL
o'clock
The Silva boy and one or two
small companions were following a
McB:yde truck and trailer up the
hill in front of ]. l. Silva's Kalaheo
store, trying to get little cane from
the trailer to- eat Medeiros was
driving from Eleele to Lihue and
was approaching the advancing truck.
He saw the boys coming behind the
truck and blew his horn in warning.
One of the boys ran from behind
the truck and crossed the road safe
ly. The little Silva boy attempted
to follow him but the car was too
close to him when he started across.
The driver put on his brakes but was
unable to stop the machine until
both the front and the rear right
wheels had passed over the boys
body.
1t was Immediately apparent that
the boy was seriously injured. He
was rushed at once to the Koloa
hospital but he died on the machine
before it could reach the hospital.
The driver of the car claims that
he was only going fifteen miles an
hour at the time he approached the
loaded truck and the boys, and that
the distance was so short when he
saw the boy crossing the road that
he was unable to stop the machine.
The funeral was held Tuesday af-
ternoon at the home of Manuel G.
Silva in Kalaheo

big meet at the University of Ha-
waii tank last Friday night with a
total OF "a points. The Outrigger
came second with 19 points, while the
Hui Makana took third place with

The meet was a hotly contested
one throughout. The island boys took
most of the firsts in the swimming
events and the 200 yards mems relay.
Old F]i's men were more polished di-
vers however and their almost clean
sweeps in these events gave them
the meet.
Duke Kahanamoku won the big re-
lay event with a whirlwind finish
that put him a yard ahead of the
famous Binney of the Yale team. In
this event the two Island boys swan
for Yale, Captain L. Potter Thurs

Kauai Railway Co.
is Building Planning
Mil at Port Allen

ING NEEDS OF ISLAND; READY
FOR OPERATION IN ABOUT
TWO MONTHS

The Kauai Railway Company at
Port Allen is building planning
mill and will, il no unforeseen OBJ

This is an industry Of which Ka.
uai has long felt the need and will
prove a great boon to the island
community. The plant is to be ex.
tensive in scope and will be compos.
ed of the most modern machinery
and appliances.
The construction of the mill is un.
der the direct supervision of E. F.

.L|HUE !. N. c. A.
DOING REAL WORK

II anyone on Kauai that is in
terested in social service work has a
desire to visit a typical community
center for boys and men, in full
swing, let him or her, step over to
the Lihue Armory any night in the
week but Sunday and see what a
real live wire can do with a hand
full of equipment if he just has the
right spirit.
Boys and men everywhere and ev-
cry mothers son of them busy hav-
ing good time. Everything doing
from ping-pong to rough house bas-
ketball. And NOISE. Such noise!
But ask any man who has ever ham
died men or boys at play and he
will tell that when they are noisy
they are all right, but watch out for
them when a bunch Of boys or men
are quiet. Trouble of some sort
is brewing.
The credit all belongs to one man
and The Garden Island is bound that
the credit shall fall where it be-
longs. Mr.. Macdonald, the new Y.
M. c. A. man for Lihue is the re-
sponsible party. Mr.. Macdonald has
worked hard building up the armory
as a play center for the men and
boys of Lihue and is now beginning
to get some returns. The only trou-
BILE that Mac is afraid of now is that
IL his attendance keeps on increas-
ing a. the present rate where he is
going to put them all.
The writer counted rs men and
boys playing at the armory one
night last week and he was given
to understand that it was only an
average night.
1t was MACS" idea to have a cer-
tain night for boys and other nights
the business men Of the community,
but what is he going to do when
everybody comes every night? He
cannot turn them away because it
does not happen to be their night,
because he is not built that way. So
he manages to. get another volley
ball or SET of boxing gloves or some
thing and keeps them busy.
visitor stated to the writer that
he visited several of the large com
munity play centers on the main
land that had wonderful organizations
behind them and apparently unlimited
equipment and money but that none
of them had any more activity or
more attendance in proportion to
the population than the armory, and
activity and attendance are absolute
ly the moin factors in recreational
work. Get your crowds and keep
them busy, being ;ne ten command
ments Of a trained recreational sup
ervisor.>
Lihue IS indeed fortunate in hav
ing Mr.. Macdonald in charge OF 10
cal Y. NJ. C. A. work and he deserv
es the support of the community he
is handica pped by lack of equipment
but this did not bother him as he
went right ahead with what he had
Now his crowds are getting so large
that the meagre equipment is nc
longer enough and he is at his wits
ends at times how to keep everyone
going.
So drop in at the Armory any ev
ening and see what he is doing and
before you know he will have you
in some sort OF game making as
much noisc as your neighbor. The
next morning you will discover thai
you have lot of muscles that you
had forgotten about. Ask us. WIZ
