OPEN SHOP IS WINNING FAVOR

''The open shop mercy maintains the right of the employer to employ a person who can do his work satis- factorily, who can deliver the goods regardless of whether he be- longs to a union or carries a card. It also maintains the right of that workman to enter upon that job, not restricted by his aversion to joining union and carrying a card" said Franklin O. Thompson, of Dallas, manager of the Southwestern Open Shop association, who is in Ell Paso to acquaint employers with the principles of the association.
 The three main advantages of the open shop plan, as outlined by Mr.. Thompson, are:
 First, the greater contentment and satisfaction of the workmen. result ing from surety of maintaining their jobs -dispelling the fear that they will lose their jobs because of some misunderstanding between another employee and their employer, or be- cause of some difficulty between a business agent of their union and their employer.
 Second, increased production re- sulting from contentment and in- itiative thrown into the industry.
 Third, more production for the same cost, which is less cost to the head of the industry.
 MT. Thompson said that the open shop plan was being received with favor throughout his territory; that more than 85 associations had been organized in as many cities and communities.
 The plan was inaugurated in San Antonio two years ago. The South western association embraces organ izations in five states-Arizona, Tex as, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Louisi- ana.

WHAT ARE THE OUTSTANDING FEATURES OF OUR
 INDUSTRIAL FUTURE?

Managers of industries, corpora
 tions and banking institutions are
 facing responsibilities for the next two years that would stagger gene
 rals of armies and statesmen, with this difference: the industrial lead CTS cannot fall back upon the law making and taxation powers of the government to- help them solve the riddle involved in keeping their properties intact and their custom CTS and employees satisfied, to not even mention their stockholders.
 State and federal instrumental ities must become more constructive and helpful if the big factors in the national prosperity status are not to be handicapped and crippled beyond resuscitation. Who can say our state agencies have in the main been help ful in the solution of industrial problems? Government as a rule is cold a n unsympathetic toward struggling industries and public service undertakings with private capital. Should not this policy be reversed?
 What are the two greatest factors in restoring normalcy and prevent ing national collapse industrially and financially? We have passed through a consumers strike" and are now in the throes of an indust- rial stage where home consumption is falling off and foreign markets are diminishing from the great war time demands made on the nation.
 The. readjustment that will take place in the next two years will be attended by declining prices and wages. Capital, Labor and Agricul- ture will have to absorb their share of the shrinkage in values and econ omic losses. There will be no mar gin for wild talk or wild actions and intelligence must reign as the su- perior power in human affairs and overcome resorts to violence.
 Twenty billions spent in world war, and as much more lost through individual extravaganza and ineffi- and morale lowered through the excitement of great world struggle against military autocracy, requires of every American citizen the highest and most patriotic res olution to repair the great loss to our normal prosperity.
 How can we maintain the high walls of the American Zion and the high standards of comfort and pros Perity to which we are accustomed? Only by individual sacrifice, by indi- vidual savings replacing the des- troyed stores of capital needed for development of our country.
 If every family of five could put in the bank a thousand dollars sav- ings in the coming two years the great shellhole blown ine our gar nered national wealth would be filled up and we would be back to normal.
 It should not be difficult for the average man or woman to lay aside one hundred dollars year for the next two years and it would restore our equilibrium and avert debacle.
 Backed with sound judgement and economy in public affairs, this .na- tion faces the most prosperous period of its existence. ..s
 Have faith in your country, your business, your fellow man. Nobody ever played the United States short and won.

lulu, amount $465,OOO The proposed
appropriation for improvement of Wal

road from Kailua toward Kopiliula.
Maui asked less than did Honolulu
or Hawaii and has had less cut from
what was asked. Honolulu will get
$1,S4O,0 for wharf and harbor pro-
jects, a cut of 100000 and Hawaii
$375,000. The new executive building
at Honolulu with the expenditure
of 100000 is eliminated. For the

ments of all sorts $1,900,000 will be
provided, including $240,00O for hos

BUDGET INCLUDES
TRANSPORTATION
FUND FOR COUNTY
Provision is Inserted as Report
ed From Committee to
Make Start in Taking Chill
dren to School.

Transportation for children living at
remote distance from schools of the
grade they should attend on Maui, or
at least the making of a start in so
doing, now looms up as probability
for an appropriation of $4,000 for the
purpose is contained in the school
budget which was reported out by the
finance committee of the house on
Monday. AS first introduced the bud
get did not contain the provision
which was approved by the meeting
on Maui legislation held in the SUI
pervisors' Office just before the session
opened.
There has been some pruning and
pairing done by the committee which
reduces the amount of the budget by
$146,000. The general fund, covering
school administration has been sliced
down $4,000 and the special fund
has been increased nearly $4S,000
Manual training plans will receive "a
decided set back if the bill passes as
it is reported out for the appropriation
for that purpose is reduced from $75,-
600 to $4,000, but salaries for instruc
tors are provided for in separate
fund.
Proposed salary increases in the
department of instruction are materi
ally less than what was asked, that
item being $4,000 instead of $5S,000
and departmental expenses are cut
$4,000, the allowance for travelling
expenses for supervising principals be-
ing cut in two and restricted to $50
Il month in every individual case. The
item for libraries, books and pamph
lets is reduced from $4,000 to $4,000
and the proposal to spend 100000 for
supplemental reading in the lower
!, grades is turned down.
1t is provided that salary changes
and salaries for new positions created
shall become effective July /.

F. G. KrausS TO Leave
Maui About July First;
Regrets Are General

Frederick G. Krauss one of Maui's
most useful citizens, head of agricul-
tural experiment work on this Island
will leave Maui about the first of July.
Who will succeed him here has not
been announced. Mr.. Krauss says
that he will make his headquarters at
The Agricultural Experiment Station in
Honolulu.
1t is with regret, says Mr.. Krauss.
that he has determined to leave Maui.
His children have reached the stage
WLerc they must attend higher insti-
.utiOns Of learning than are afforded
on this Island and if he were to re
main here and continue his work it
would mean the breaking up of his
family.
In telling of his intention to go TO
other fields Mr.. Krauss said that the
years he has spent here have been full
of pleasure by reason of the splendid
cooperation he has received and the de-
,ightufl spirit of mutual hclpfulness
that he has found. He spoke of the
progress that has been made by some
Of the plantations and the large ranch
es and said that after talks with the
heads of such concerns he always
went away feeling that he was taking
with him more than he was giving,
that he and they We're working with
the same general ends in view.
On Maui, Mr. Krauss has done much
to advance agriculture and agricultur-
al production. An indefatigible work
er, out very early and at work until
very late, he still found time for pub
lie spirited endeavors as has been
evidenced in his participation in max
ing Maui County fairs the successes
they have been AS a matter of fact
he was one of the original, if not the
very first booster for Maui fair. Each
year he went heart and soul into the
gathering and display of the agricul-
tural resources.
Mr.. Krauss is a native of San Fran
cisco. He came to the Islands as
agricultural instructor for Kamehame-
ha Schools in 1906, became agronom-
ist at agricultural experiment station
professor of agronomy at the College
of Hawaii and then came to Maui as
superintendent of agricultural expert
ment work here for the U. S. Depart.
ment OF agriculture and has been act.
ing agricultural agent here. AS own
er OF the New Era Homestead at Hal
ku his experiments have been tho
roughly practical and he has had a
demonstration farm" of his own.

Falls into Crater but
Escapes Serious Hurt

Rev. George II. DeKay of Kahului
church sustained an accident last Fri
day night which narrowly escaped
serious results and perhaps fatality at
the rest house on Haleakala.
Mr.. DeKay had gone to visit the
crater with Rev. e. e. Pleasant and
w II. Young of Napa, California. The
party was detained at Idlewild so that
it was dark when they reached the
rest house. In trying to find the way
up to the door of the house Mr.. De
Kay walked between big rocks and
off over the edge of the crater. He
fell several feet to another edge, roll
ed off and down, slipped and rolled
some distance further down before he
was able TO stop.
No bones We're broken but Mr., De
Kay was severely bruised and shaken
up. However he was able to view
the crater next morning and then to
proceed on the homeward journey.
