Rice, the staple food of the oriental popu- 1ation, is expected to double in price within the next two months. With rice now at 10 cents and the wages of the plantation laborers cut to $26 a month, a serious situation, it is fear ed, may develop.

 Shingle admits that the leaders of this movement have a fight on their hands. "Organized labor," he says, delayed action this summer and fall on the coolie question:"
 Heretofore Japanese workers have been the 1nainstay of the sugar plan tations, but they refuse longer to work for the meager wages offered. "The Japanese are on silent strike" Shingle says. "They do not seem to care to handle the sugar crop. Sugar cane is rotting in the fields"
 Congress is to be asked to give early consideration to the demands of Hawaii's bankers, that sufficient Chi nese workers, according to Shingle, "may be promptly brought to the is- land an dput to work, thereby saving the industry from ruin"

The transportation act directs the Railroad Labor Board to take into consideration, among other relevant circumstances, these factors in the de- termination of a proper wage for rail employees:
 CD The scale of wages paid for similar kinds of work in other indus tries; (2) the relation between wages and the cost of living; (3) the hazards of the employment; (4) the training and skill required; (5) the degree Of sponsibility; (6) the character and regularity of the employment; and CD inequalities of increases in wages or of treatment, the result of previous wage orders or adjustments.
 The Railway Employees Depart ment has gathered a great mass ot data which will be presented to the Labor Board as justification for the wage demand, and leaders believe that it will establish, under the rules laid down by Congress, the workers right to increased compensation.
 The policy to be pursued by shop workers, through their organizations, Is outlined in a communication issued by the Railway Empolyes Depart ment. Officers of System Federations and General Chairmen are instructed to request a conference with railroad officials on December 20, for the "purpose of negotiating an adequate wage increase"
 The circular says that the depart ment has collected information that will be relied upon for the successful defense of this program.
 The circular is printed herewith: Railroad Shopmen Have Presented

 Railroads Policy Toward Shop
 Crafts.
 When the program of the Railway Employees Department covering me chanical shop crafts was made public, publicity agents of the railroads issued a statement purporting to quote an unnamed executive outlining what the carriers have in mind.
 "The dangers of this situation and the existing standardization of wages of railroad employees for the whole country are apparent and the present demand of the shop crafts undoubt- edly will give impetus to the move ment already under way to restrict the Labor Boards jurisdiction over wages to the men essentially in rail road service-that is, the engineers, fremen, conductors, trainmen, etc." this unknown president is reported to have said.
 
 wages and working conditions of shop crafts and similar employees should be standardized or subject to regulation by the Labor Board, or any other government body, than the wages and working conditions of mechanics in factories, or clerks in stores, or labor CTS on farms, for the reason that they are not specialized railroad workers The only ground upon which special regulation of the wages and working conditions of any class of railroad employees can be defended is that a strike by them would seriously inter rupt transportation, and such effect would not be produced by a strike of any employees except those directly concerned with the operation of trains"

RENEW DEMAND FOR
 COOLIE WORKERS AS WAGES ARE SLASHED
Honolulu Banker Here to Put Pep" Into Lobby-Workers on
 Starvation Basis.

While employers of Hawaii this week were announcing sweeping re- auctions of wages for all classes of workers, Senator Robert M. Shingle, president of the Henry Waterhouse Trust company, of Honolulu, arrived in this country for the purpose of in jecting "some pep" into lobbyists at Washington who are back of bill permitting the importation of Chinese coolie labor into the islands.
 'Unless the labor situation in Ha- waii is relieved and men are found to handle our sugar crop," Shingle said on arrival here, "the islands will soon be in the hands of the sheriff"
 Hawaii's need, he continued, is field labor. Five thousand to 10000 Chi nese coolies would help the situation, J he added. "All political, industrial and financial energies of Hawaii stand behind the labor resolution now be- fore Congress"
 Evidently the law of supply and de- mand does not control the labor situation in Hawaii. Despite the shortage of which Shingle complains, the heads of the principal business houses have decided to put into effect at once the long contemplated drastic cut in the wages of all clerical work CTS. This reduction will represent a cut of 20 per cent. It is to be fol- lowed by parallel cuts in the wages of mechanics and semi-skilled workers.
 During the last month the average cost of living in Honolulu has ad-
