Labor council and builders petition for US labor law
The Honolulu Trades and Labor Council and the Builders and Traders Exchange urge Congress to pass a law barring non Americans from direct or indirect contracting work in Hawaii. They argue white labor cannot fill cane fields and urge protections to favor American citizens, with penalties for violations. The petition covers delegates, supporting committees, and requests to promote the measure through Congress.
