ported Filipinos, who constitute
the bulk of the common lhbor or
the plantations in Hawaii
threaten to create a race ques
tion in the islands,” said Ethel
bert Stewart, director of the Bu
reau of Labor Statistics, who re
cently returned from a survey of
labor conditions there.
“We have called the United
States the ‘melting pot of races,
but we seem to lack the neces
sary warmth for that complete
fusion which has taken place in
those tropical islands.
“The native Hawaiians are a
splendid people who have inter
married freely with the whites.
There is also a considerable mix
ture of blood with the Chinese.
This is not true in respect to the
Filipinos, who are now there by
the tens cf thousands, but who
are considered an inferior race.
“The sugar, pineapple and
ether plantations are thoroughly
‘factoryized’ in their methods
and are importing Filipinos to
perform the simple tasks con
nected with this system of man
agement.
..“They are young men, cut
away from their native lands,
and housed in barracks and not
any more orderly or restrained
than young bachelors of any
ether people would be under the j
r ame circumstances.—LABOR.
“A vie son maketh a glad fath
er. but a foolish son is the heavi
ness of his mother.—Proverbs.
