EFFECT OF LABOR AND
LAND BILLS SEEN IN STOCKS

The effect of the signing of the Re-
Mobilization bill and the Labor bill
passing the house immigration com
mittee can already be seen in the
price of Hawaiian sugar stocks. One
of the terms of the bill is that about
5000 noncitizen laborers can no long
er be employed in government work,
That means that a good many of
them will be available for sugar and
pineapple work.
The fact that the labor bill has
passed the house where it was expect
ed to get its hardest fight has had an
even more marked effect upon stocks.
Everyone knows that while the price
of sugar is low now it has a good
chance to come back to normal in a
year or so. But if there is no labor
or not enough labor to produce 10
cane, the price makes little differ
ence. The strong hope that we are
going to get more labor makes buyers
willing to pay more for their shares.

JIMMY BRoDRERo GIVES A
BLACK AND WHITE PARTY

Mr.. Jimmy" Brodrero gave a most
enjoyable black and white masquer
ade ball at the home of his grand
father, Colonel z. S. Spalding. last
Saturday night. over one hundred
young people from all parts of the
island attended To say that "a
good time was had by all" is putting
it mildly.
Every black and white costume in
the category of costumes was seen
during the evening. Minstrels,
yama yama boys and girls, Spanish
dancers, monks and common hoboes
all did their part in making the party
a success. The monk, far from be-
ing the most sedate in the crowd, was
probably the worst. 1t is reported
that he even performed a little hula
dancing occasionally.
The Spalding house was decorated
for the occasion. The music boys
were full of pep and everything was
conducive to the "gayest party Of the
year"

MACHINERY ARRIVES
FOR HARBOR WORK

Progress on the Nawiliwili break
water continues at a steady pace ant
the arrival of a seventy-ton locomo
tive crane and locomotive last week
indicates that the laying of the first
stone in the breakwater is not far
off.
According to Mr.. Morris, the engin.
eer in charge of construction. il the
equipment continues to arrive at the
same rate the first stone should be
laid about a month from now.
Without a doubt this event is one
of the most important in the history
of Kauai and the Chamber of Com
merce plan to make this event the
cause of big celebration deserves
the support of every organization and
person on the island. The compile
tion of the breakwater will mark a
step forward in the progress of Kauai
second to none, and it is no more
than fitting that the first stone
should be laid with ceremony.
The locomotive crane and locomo-
tive were brought over on a barge
towed by one of the Young Brothers
tugs. 1t was necessary to dissemble
the crane as there was not crane
in Honolulu big enough to take it off
the transport Dix. The crane weighs
about eighty tons and it was divided
into pieces weighing twenty tons
each. These were taken ashore
yesterday and required not little
engineering skill to unload with the
now on hand at the break
water. When the new crane is
assembled it will be a simple matter
to handle the rest of the equipment
as it has more than enough capacity
to handle any work that may be given
it.
The arriva! of the tug and barges
marks the first use of the new chan
mel. The Kukui is expected over
some time this week to mark the
channel with buoys. Mr.. Quinn, the
chief engineer is we'll pleaSed with
the way the work is progressing and
states that with no unexpected delays
the first stone should be laid before
the middle of August.

PRESIDENT MAY
SEND PERSONAL
REPRESENTATIVE

Honolulu, July president War
rem G. Harding, himself a newspaper
met to Honolulu next October to
deliver the opening address at the
sessions of the Press Congress of the
World.
Information to this effect has been
received by Governor Wallace R. Far
rington, chairman of the Hawaiian
executive committee of the Congress,
from DR.. Walter Williams, president
Of the Congress and dean of the
school of journalism of the University
of Missouri. Although Doctor Will
liams' advices are as yet unofficial,
it is planned to have a committee of
representative journalists call at the
White House soon and present the
request to the President.
The state department has already
sent to all countries with which the
United States maintains diplomatic
relations an official invitation to be
represented at the Press Congress
sessions. Doctor Williams, in a tel
egram to Governor harrington, says
that according to the present outlook
the Congress will be attended by be-
tween 400 and 500 representative
journalists, and that many of them
will bring their wives or other men,
bers of their families. The majority
of the American delegation will prob
ably be from the Mississippi Valley
states.
A solid special train from Chicago,
and probably from New York, to the
Pacific Coast, for the accommodation
of the delegates, is now practically
assured, and a number of receptions
en- route are being arranged. The
Sdi lOuIlSl ldtc loi tuC uCicSbtSo
has been decided upon by the trans
contsnental railroads, although this
may be modified. Negotiations fer
chartering a special steamer to bring
the delegates to Hawaii are progress
ing favorably, Doctor Williams says.
He adds that intense interest in the
Congress is being shown, and that
Hawaii is receiving great deal OF
very favorable publicity in both the
American and the foreign news
papers. An excellent business pro-
gram is in course of preparation at
Columbia, Mo.
The British Empire Press Union
will sepd as its delegate Col. Edward
Frederick Lawson, assistant mana
ging director of the London Tele-
graph, and nephew and heir of Wis
count Burnham, proprietor of the
Telegraph.
At Honolulu plans for the enter
tainment of the delegates are going
ahead rapidly, and people Of all
nationalities are cooperating to make
the program one of the finest ever
arranged in the Islands.

II Senator Charles Rice of Lihue
was right in his opinion that if the
proposed labor bill passes the house
immigration committee it will pass
congress, we will soon see many
Chinese laborers working in cane
fields.
Many people think that the term
amended bill" means the amend
ment that one of the house immigra-
tion committee suggested earlier in
the discussion, that European and not
Oriental laborers be admitted. The
amendment deals with the number of
Orientals that may be imported. re-
ducing the percent slightly that may
be brought into the Territory. The
number would still be large enough
to greatly improve our labor condi-
tions.
By the terms of the bill the final
authority will be placed in the hands
of President Harding. The clause
that most interests us is:
"The Delegates amendment pro-
vides that "for a period of five years
from the passage of the resolution
that, whenever the President shall
find and by proclamation declare that
an emergency exists in the Territory
of Hawaii, by reason of a serious
shortage of labor, either general, or
of any particular class or classes, the
secretary Of labor shall be. -. EN-
powered to admit to the Territory of
Hawaii such aliens as otherwise are
inadmissible, and as he may deem
necessary to meet the existing en-
ergency."
The American Federation of Labor
and allied labor bodies are opposing
the bill however. Yesterday Samuel
Gompers appeared before Represent
ative A. S. Johnson and entered a
vigorous protest. He said that un-
der the terms of the bill Hawaii will
be flooded with $4,000 Chinese cool
les, fact that would break a poin-
ciple that for forty years has been
backed by the United States govern
ment.
Gompers has sent kilograms to all
the organized labor unions In the
country and they are beginning to
protest the bill to congress. 1t is
felt that such an importation would
seriously affect white labor. But
as it is not white labor or American
labor that is doing any amount of the
work on the Hawaiian plantations,
this move of the labor bodies should
not carry undue weight.
