That Portland should at once begin
negotiations for a line of steamers be
tween this port and Hawaii Is the opin
ion of Walter Kendall of the firm of
Clark. Kendall A Co., who has returned
from a month's sojourn in the islanda
Mr. Kendall states that while he was In
Honolulu representatives of Seattle ship
pers were there arranging for .the es
tablishment of a line of steamers be
tween the Islands and Sound ports, to
begin running at the termination of the
war.'
"Since ISIS the Islands have been en
Joying a prosperity hitherto unknown In
their history.' said Mr. KendalL This
Is due to the high prices paid for raw
sugar. The normal price of this product
Is $ T to-ISO a ton: It has sold as high
as 1140 per ton since the wat began and
the United States government now guar
antees a priee ef IMS per ton. Am the
actual cost of raw sugar laid down la
New Tork Is ISO a ton, the 00.000 tea
crop produced thia year brought a profit
of nearly f5J.000.000 to the sugar tndns
try la the Hawaiian islands. -
Labor Threatens Treacle '
"Second only to the sugar Industry
cornea the trade tn pineapples, which Is
now greater than at any previous time,
and Is rapidly Increasing In volume. The
production of rice Is also Important, but
is being handicapped at this time by the
shortage of Chinese labor. ,
"Labor troubles threaten the sugar
producers. . Japanese are employed al
most exclusively on the plantations.
Two years ago the planters made an
agreement wtth these employes to pay
a bonus to be' based upon the price
received . for the . raw sugar. The
bonus. amounted to more than $7,000,000
thia year, the amount being distributed
In cash among the Japanese laborers
at the close of the season. In spite
of this fat bonus, free house rent, free
lights, food furnished at oet, free
medical attendance and the operation
of a liberal employers' liability law.
the Japanese are not satisfied with
their wages, which average 945 per
month, and are asking a very material
increase both tn wages and - bonus.
Favor iBipertatlea ef Chinese
The f Japanese far outnumber the
white population and In view of the
fact that those born on United States
territory become dtlsene of the coun
try and are entitled to the ballot. It Is
apparent that la the course of IS or SO
years they will be In a position to con
