Hawaii Asks Help
To Save Plantations
From the Japanese
Would Ease Restrictions on
Imported Labor, Retain
ing Provision That Linn
its Arrivals From Orient

HONOLULU, T. H., April 90 (De-
layed) eBy The Associated Press).-
The great sugar, pineapple and coffee
plantations of Hawaii are facing near
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 cut by the
same cause, and the business of Hawaii
Is fast slipping into the grip of the
Japanese, the dominating race in the
territory, according to statement
made Co The Associated Press by Gov
ernor Charles j. Mccarthy and by AL
bert Horner, territorial sugar expert.
To meet the situation Governor Nc
Carthy has asked the Legislature to
memorialize Congress, requesting the
lifting of immigration bars so that
labor, including Oriental labor, may be
imported, with the provision that such
Importation shall be only for limited
periods and shall not operate so that
there will be within this territory at
any time a total number of aliens of
any one race more than 25 per cent of
the population of the territory.
This last provision would bar the i'm
portation of the Japanese, stopped
since the 'gentlemen's agreement" was
made in 1907, since already the num-
ber of Japanese in Hawaii far exceeds
the 25 per cent of the total
So urgent do the Governor and his
advisers consider the situation that he
has asked the Legislature to authorize
the creation of the Hawaiian Emer-
gency Labor Commission of three mem
bers to go to Washington and impress
the territory's critical situation upon
Congress.
1t has been for some time an open
secret in sugar circles and in govern
ment quarters that the sugar crop.
which under normal conditions should
be harvested by the end of July, will
not be in the bags before January,
February or March, 1922.
With about one-half of the total
population Of the territory japanese,
that race already has a firm grip on
labor conditions and is rapidly extend
ing it's activities into the commercial
field.
A prominent sugar planter is author
ity for the statement that twice last
year and once already this season jap
anese moneyed interests have made g.
bona fde offer to buy one of the largest
sugar plantations in the territory. All
the offers were fatty refused.

Newark Judge DEGREES Suitor
May Stay Until Midnight
Under New Dispen sation

Change from standard to daylight
saving time seems to have affected
spooning in parlors in Newark. Judge
j. Victor D'Aloia raised the question
in the Third Precinct Court yesterday.
The case involved George Manning,
of 36 Hawkins Street, and one of his
nieces. She did no. appear in court,
so the judge and Manning proceeded
to thresh out the difficulty.
''It's this way" began Manning.
My niece has her fellow in the parlor
until close at IL o'clock, and I think II
is the li1nls."
"Are you speaking about standard or
daylight saving time p" the judge asked.
STANDARD, guess" was the reply.
1t was agreed that the girl should
find other quarters, but in the mean
time Manning is to permit her to oc-
cupy the parlor until midnight day

FROM The Tribunals WasEfnoto,s Bureau
WASHINGTON, May 13.--The rail
roads must find some way to increase
revenues or decrease expenses or the
deficit IN operation will have to be
paid from the Federal Treasury, Sen.
ator Cummins, chairman of the Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee, said
to-day at the railroad hearing before
that committee. The present situation
challenges the permanence Of the pri-
vate operation of railways" Senator
Cummins declared.
Senator Cummins made this observa-
tion III the course of the cross-exami-
nation Of julius Kruttschnitt, chair
man of the Southern Pacific, who was
again on the stand. The particular
thing that gave rise to it was the dis
cussion of figures showing the en-
hanced cost of operating the roads.
Senator Cummins questioned Mr.
Kruttschnitt closely about that item of
the operating expense sheets of the
roads, which shows that for the year
ending with February, 1921, the roads
of the country expended 81 1,026, ,048, ,072
for maintenance of way and structures,
Senator Cummins said the figures OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission
showed this and that the corresponding
figure for the year 1917 was $442, 2,108,-
$50.
Increase in Expenditure
"That means," said Senator Cum
MINIS, chat you expended two and a
half times as much since the roads
were returned than in the last year of
private operation, though the mileage
was practically the same"
He asked Mr.. Kruttschnitt to explain
this. Mr.. Kruttschnitt at first seemed
displeased at the question, but Senator
Cummins told him he was asking for
information and not criticizing, and he
desired to be answered ACCORDINGLY.
Mr.. Kruttschnitt did not attempt to
go into the details of the increase. In
a general way, he said, there were two
reasons why the expenses for main
tenance of way and structures were
greater than in 1917, or than under
Federal control. One was the neglect
of the maintenance of way under Fed
eral control. The other reason was the
rules and working conditions which
went into effect in 1919 with relation
TO overtime and other matters. Both
these causes, he held, worked to en-
lance the cost of maintenance of way
and structures when the roads went
back to the companies.
1t was brought out that about so per
cent of the cost of maintenance of way
was labor.
Mr.. Kruttschnitt said the director
generals figures on the cost of Federal
control of the railroads were about ST.
zoe, 100000.
Senator Cumnnins asserted that, ac-
cording to the figures of the director

Promises TO Give Bill Earnest
and Serious Consideration

WASHINGTON, May 13.--Thc. con-
ference report on the emergency inmis
grafton restriction bill was adopted to-
day by the Senate snd House, and the
measure row will go TO President Har-
ding for his approval.
AS modified in conference, the bill
would go into effect fifteen days after
it was signed by the President, and
from that time until July /, 1892. the
number of aliens admitted TO the
United States would be limited TO 8
per cent of the nationals of each coun-
try here in 1910.
Representative Siegel, New York,
ranking Republican on The Immigra-
tion Committee, said to-day he had car
ried his protest against the bill per
sonally TO President Harding, who had
assured him it would have earnest,
careful and serious consideration" Mr..
Siegel contends that the measure is un-
workable and would mitigate against
desirable enligrants from number of
European countries.
No opposition TO the conference
agreement developed in the Senate.

to economy, will increase the experldi-
lures of iao1."
In 1850 the per capita tax of the
national government was SLIT; in 1850
it was $2.0f; in 1890 it was S4.75; In
1910 il was ST. 30 and in 1919 it reached
Si4447, he said and continued:
with the situation facing us, it is
the height of folly to undertake new
commitments If they can be avoided
and | assume that no one win dissent
from this preparation. Senators here
know that the sources of taxation are
drying UP day by day. Men who few
months ago were paying large income
taxes would to-day be delighted If they
could turn their property over to those
who hold a mortgage and step out
free. / know men who few years ago
were rated wealthy, who are to-day
financially ruined"
Senator Norris, Senator Hefiin and
Senator King likewise attacked the
bill from the standpoint of extrava-
gance. Senator Kenyon denounced the
Senate committee increases at time
when "the country is facing bank
ruptcy."

ments.
There is not any doubt in the

is yearning for an opportunity to do
something toward disarmament by
agreement"
Alluding in the course of the de-
bate to the fact that Senator Poin
dexter, in charge of the bill, was said
to have an expression from President
Harding in opposition to a disarma-
ment amendment on the naval bill,
Senator Bcrah said he hoped this woui5

PREMIER LLOYD GEORGE
POSTPONES STATEMENT
But Hopes To Make 1t Shortly, He De-
clared To-day-De Valera and As
sociates Consider Irish Terms.

London, July rs by the Associated
Press The statement with regard TO
the Irish peace negotiations which it
was hoped Prime Minister Lloyd George
would make in the House of Commons
to-day was not forthcoming, the pre-
mier saying in reply to questions that
he hoped to be in position to make
a statement shortly.
Il shall make an announcement as
soon as it is possible to make il with
out endsngering the successful issue of
the negotiations, said Mr. Lloyd
George, but l warn the members that
they must not accept accounts in the
public press as to the terms, because
all those l have seen are inaccurate. =
The premiers inability to make a
statement to-day as TO the terms was
due to the fact that De Valera and his
colleagues are still considering them
and have not indicat ted the Sim Fein's
attitude towards the proposals.

Keeping Mother and Children Together.

| 1t is against sound public economy
TO allow poverty alone to cause th'
| separation OF child from the care o.
good mother. This is the principle
back of the mothers pension system
the administration of which is dis
cussed in a report entitled, The Ad
ministration Of the Aid to Meter
Law in Illinois" recently issued by
the L, S. department of labor through
the children's bureau.
The Illinois statute of 1911 was
placed with the judges Of the juvenile
courts throughout the state, and very
wide discretion was vested in the
court. In 1918 the law was radically
altered and the authority of the courts
was definitely limited. Minor changes
have since been made.
During the first year following the
enactment OF the pension law in Hi
nois, only Is counties outside Cook
county made any use of it, while by
the end of 1920 pensions were being
granted in all but II of the l02 coun.
ties of the state. Az the close Of the
first year of the administration Of the
original law, there were 1927 families
on the pension roll Of the juvenile
court Of Cook county representing a
monthly expenditure of almost $1,000.
while in November, 1919, there were
s5l families on the roll with a month.
" expenditure more than four times
a. great as in 1912
The report gives a detailed account
Of the administration of the law in
Cook county which has set an admir-
able standard both as 10 adequacy BY
good private relief agencies in the in
vestigation that preeedes the pension
grant and also in the supervision Of
families after they are placed on the
pension roll Aid is administered in
such a wsy as 10 encourage the self
respect Of the beneficiary, and rela
tionship Of cooperation is established
between the pensioned mother and the
probation officer.
However, methods Of administration
are diverse throughout the state. and
facts presented in the report point TO
the conclusion that the principle of
local responsibility for administration
should be replaced by some measure
Of state control OF Standardization.
The Importance Of perfecting the
mothers pension law is strongly en-
phasized because. the report points
out, this system if properly organized
and safeguard may contain the nu
,leus Of a new form Of state aid free
from the psuperizing effect Of the old
public charities. and capable of con
siderable extension, along with actual
Of expenditure.
