PROPOSES BUS
LINE THROUGH
TRI-CITY GROUP
Rock Island and Moline Mayors
Hear Rockford Mans Pro-
posaI; &c Fare.
Plan for motor bus transportation

Plan for motor bus transportation
between Moline and Rock Island
and eventually TO furnish tri-city
service for passengers, was pre-
scented to Mayor H. M. Schriver this
morning.
r. ]. Fay, Rockford. who oper-
ates a line of passenger buses
there and in other cities, brought
the project up for approval.
Mr.. Fay claims this mode OF pub
lie travel is cheaper and more eff
ficient transportation than trolley
cars. He indicated that wear and
tear on streets by his cars would
be made up for by the tax paid to
the city and by the saving to tax
PAYERS as the result of cheap ar
fares. He said the line, if installed
here, would operate on a ia cent
fare at the start and would within
a few months be able to establish
a cent fare
Mayor C. P. Skinner, Moline, has
shown interest in the proposition
and willingness to cooperate with
the Rock Island city administra-
ton in aiding the installation OF the
DuS line, according 10 MI It dS
May Go Before Council
He promised to take it up with
the city council, and it is expected
that the proposition will be given
consideration Monday afternoon.
Motor buses are the logical
means of passenger transportation
for your city, said Mr.. Fay.
They're bound to come sooner or
later, and we want to get in now.
The evolution of the motor vehicle
has decided this step-it is not
revolutionary at ALL"

Delegate Baldwin and Dillingham;
Urge Need Of Labor Shortage Relief

WASHINGTON, June THE sen.
ate immigration committee concluded
its hearings this afternoon on the Dill.
llngham resolution, which would au.
thorize the President to suspend for
i've years immigration restriction in
the Territory of Hawaii, to permit the
importation of Chinese labor to relieve
the shortage of labor of the planta-
tions. The committee will render its
report as soon as the testimony has
been printed.
Walter F. Dillingham; of Hawaii,
testified that there is no hope of Am
ericanizing the Japanese, whose num-
Der in the territory is quadruple that
of any other nationality in the islands.
He quoted from Japanese sources TO
show the activity of Japanese officials
in maintaining solidarity among their
nationals in Hawaii, and declared that
japanese who do not give their pa
tronage to their fellow-countrymen are
considered traitors.
He submitted an analysis showing
the extent of Japanese economic on
troll in the islands, and stated that it
already completely monopolizes many
industries. He said the Dillingham;
resolution is not based on any desire
for lower standards of living for la
borers, and denied that the American
Federation of Labor represents Amer
lean labor in Hawaii.
The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1922-06-13
Large Petitions Filed

Petitions favoring the resolution
were filed with the committee, among
which was one bearing the signatures
of some 2000 skilled mechanics, and
another signed by 1878 of the &c, 00O
registered voters in the territory.
Dillingham; told the committee that
Notwithstanding a special effort to OBJ
tain plantation labor from the Philip
pines, a shortage of % per cent still
exists. He said only Oriental labor
Is suitable for the Hawaiian sugar
plantations, and that with the Japa-
nese eliminated from consideration.
the planters can look only to China
for labor.
Senator Hiram Johnson, Republican
of California, said Hawaii's problem
of assimilation is similar to that of
California. He said he believed the
Japanese to be unassimilable.
Dillingham's statement that labor
organization representatives in Ha-
wall were influenced and financed by
Japanese brought a statement from
Edgar Wallace, representing the Am
erican Federation of Labor, that the
Federation is interested not only in
protecting labor in the mainland Unit
ed States from the competition of
coolie labor in the islands, and in pre-
venting what it considers an entering
wedge to break down the laws exclud-
ing Oriental labor from the United
States.
Baldwin Urges Adoption
Harry A. Baldwin, delegate to con-
gress from the Territory of Hawaii,
appearing at the morning session,
urged adoption of the labor resolu-
ton.
Baldwin said hat while the reso-
luton was designed to relieve the
present labor shortage by the import
alton of aliens now ineligible for en-
try, it would check what he termed
the menace of japanese industrial and
political control in the islands. He
pointed out that the Japanese were
not assimilated by the American po-
pulation, even those born in Hawaii

The delegate described the bonus
methods employed by the sugar plan.
tations to emphasize the efforts made
by the employers to attract labor and
said that so far such efforts had failed.
Filipino laborers, attracted by high
wages, returned home when they had
saved enough money to buy a farm
IN the Philippines, he said.
Baldwin declared that the Japanese
are seeking to control the sugar plan
tations through purchase but are not
making as much Roadway there as in
the pineapple and coffee industries,
n added that "the Japanese are in
creasing their holdings in Hawaii and
as their control extends, conditions
became such that Americans are dri-
rel away"
The recent election, the delegate
continued, was an Endorsement by Ha-
wall of the labor resolution, the only
opposition aside from the Japanese
coming from the American Federation
of Labor, which has only a small or
ganization in Honolulu composed of
government employees at Pearl Har-
Dor. Baldwin said it did not represent
the views of farm laborers or of the
people of the islands.
Wallace Denies Shortage
Edgar Wallace of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor legislative commit
tee, told the committee that "our peo-
pie cannot protect themselves against
Hawaiian labor by tariff, but are com
peting with that labor without any
protection whatever" He denied any
present or prospective labor shortage
in Hawaii, saying the planters wanted
to import Chinese in bond, which
would, in effect, mea slavery" and
were forcing alleged conditions. He
concluded that the reduction of plan
tation wages from $50 monthly to s26
without a strike proved that labor was
