Progress of fight for low steamship rates
A Honolulu Merchants Association committee reports efforts to lower and equalize passenger rates between Honolulu and Pacific Coast ports. The planters oppose guaranteeing freight, citing that the association cannot commit funds. discussions consider approaching the Hawaiian American line to convert ships for passengers and seek subsidies, with mixed views among members about supporting cheaper rates while ensuring first class service. The planters reject forging a subsidy, while San Francisco merchants show some willingness to cooperate if a concrete freight proposal exists. The committee urges coordinated action to promote tourism and immigration and to explore legislative subsidies.
