In Honolulu Tied
Up By Union Strike

HONOLULU, TIL, June 8. WPp-
All of the sugar plantations in the
island of Maui. territory of Hawaii,
today were in the grip of strike
of Filipino union workers except
for one small plant of the Waialua
Sugar company.
More than 1000 Filipinos on
plantations of the Hawaiian Sugar
Planters association refused to re-
turn to work until their pay was
raised, wages and hours improved
and collective bargaining instituted.
They demanded reinstatement of
members allegedly discharged for
union activities.
The latest group to join the strike
was that of 20 Filipinos at planta-
tion camp near Hama Maui They

Quality of CantalOupe Crop
Exceptionally High, Says Harrigan

Raising the cantaloupe maturity
standard from nine to 10 per cent
or full slip melons has made the
quality of this seasons crop excep-
tionally fine, said B. A. Harrigan,
agricultural commissioner, in his
monthly report to the county
board of supervisors.
The sugar content of the mildew
resistant melons is high and this
combined with their excellent car
rying quality assures the buying
public of high quality fruit. The
first car moved May IL, being ship
ped from Ell Centro.
Honeydew shipments were ex-
pected to start in volume early
in June, a few crates having ap-
peared on the sheds late in May.
Cool nights retarded maturity on
all melons but in no way affected
vine growth. All fields are in good
condition with exceptionally heavy
vine growth. Early paintings have
very light crown set. The sugar
content is high and appearance
and quality are good.
The carrot deal has been the
most profitable one experienced by
growers, the shipments continuing
to about May 18 with a total OF
397 cars for May and 2760 for the
season.
Tomato shipments during May
were lighter than during the pre-
vious year, both by truck and eX-
press. Rigid inspection combined
with a greatly reduced acreage has
held the market steady enabling
growers to receive a good return.
Shipments are expected to increase
materially during June.
Squash shipments continue to a
slow week market. Early paintings
Imperial Valley press., 1937-06-08

have been abandoned but later
paintings are now furnishing light
shipments to markets.
During the month 1885 boxes of
grapefruit were inspected and
checked as market fruit, complet-
ing the harvesting of the 1936-37
crop. Only small portion OF the
crop after January was harvested
as market fruit, the freezing dam
age causing the rest to be sold for
by-products.
Heavy shipments of grain have
moved daily during May with the
harvest over two-thirds completed.
Flax harvesting is underway and
yields have been reported as gen.
orally good. Grain shipments,
mostly to Los Angeles, were ap-
proximately 10000 tons.
Alfalfa shipments during MAY
totalled 24,002 tons with the mar
ket steady between $l2-14 per ton.
Some growers are now storing hay
but to date only a small part of
the seasons cut has been stored.

Federal Hospital For Alaska Insane
 Is Again to Fore
Secretary of Interior Ickes Makes Report to Ter
 ritory Committee

Secretary of the Interior Ickes, in his report recently made to the Committee on the Territories in the bill introduced by Alaska Dele gate A. J. Dimond to authorize the construction and operation of a Federal hospital for the insane of Alaska, definitely recognizes the desirability of change from the present contract system of caring for insane patients to the method that would be provided through enactment of the Delegates bill, writes J. J. Eckles, secretary to the Delegate.
 After summarizing the situation with respect to the care of mental patients from Alaska from the time the first call for bids was issued under authority of an Act approved June 6, 1900, for the care of one insane man in 1900, the Secretary s report states:
 'It is believed the situation has materially changed during the 37 years the contract system has been in effect. The erection of hos pital in the interest of the Terri tory of Alaska in 1900 with but one patient in view, and with
The Daily Alaska empire., 1937-07-08

many matters concerning the fu- ture of the Territory unsettled, was hardly justifiable. Faced with this situation it would appear that Congress resorted to temporary expedient and improvised upon the lowest bidder formula which it had found satisfactory in protecting the Federal Treasury W h Il securing materials or when arranging for services of more impersonal na- ture. By February of 1887 the number of patients had grown to 300 and at one time, February 1886 as many as 312 patients were re- ceiving care.
 The history of the care of the Alaska insane is now sufficiently long, and the number of patients sufficiently stabilized to warrant permanent provisions for the r treatment. The contract method can hardly be accepted as the basis upon which to build permanent plans. The large number of pa- tients now hospitalized limits the freedom of the Secretary of the Interior in choosing contracting hospital. Psychiatric hospitals are rare which are in position to con- slider a contract increasing their patient load by 300 persons. The experience of the department indi- cates there is noru west of the main ridge of the Rocky Noun tains. When competition becomes so restricted, the contract method as prescribed in the law of 1909 runs the grave risk of placing the Secretary of the Interior at the mercy of the contractor both in arranging proper treatment for the patients and in securing a reason able |. rate of payment. Further such a system lends itself entirely too easily to attack on humanitar
The Daily Alaska empire., 1937-07-08

ian grounds. It is conceivable that despite proper treatment at req sonable figure, public sentiment aroused by a law requiring the insane to be delivered to the low est responsible bidder could serious ly interfere with both the Govern ment and the contracting institu- tion in the discharge of their obligations to the patients.
 ''As a permanent plan for the care of the Alaska insane, the con- . tract method when viewed in the lightA of it's inherent limitations can hardly be entertained That the care of the Alaska insane be placed beyond the profit motive is the logical solution
 The Secretary then recommends that if the bill is to be enacted several changes in it's construction be made which would broaden the scope of the measure. It appears that considerable objection will be made to enactment of the bill be- cause of the cost of undertaking the construction or purchase of a suitable establishment for the pur- pose. In this connection the Acting Director of the Bureau of the Bud- get has advised that the pro- posed legislation is not in accord with the financial policies of the President"
