FOR FILIPINOS 76 Per Cent of -Laborers From Philippines in Island Hope to Reach America. MANILA, P. I, June 6 ¢By Mail).— About 75 per cent of the Filipino laborers who go to Hawall to'work on plantations there eventually ex- pect to reach the mainland of the TUnited States, according to the report of Francisco Varona, just submitted to Gov. Gen. Wood. Mr. Varona was commissioned. early in 1920 by former Gov. Gen. Harrison to investigate and report offt the condition of Filipino laborers in Hawall. According to Commissipner Varona's report the Filipino laborers weré not treated by their employers in the same manner as other nationals. The Filllpinos complained especially of harsh treatment received at the hand: of the foremen on plantations, cording to the report. These for: men, the report says, were usually Porto Ricans, Portuguese, Scotchmen or Germans. On the othér hand, the Hawallan planters complained that it was difi- cult to make the laborers work con- stantly, the report says. This lack of diligence and perseverance was the reason why planters did not assign Filipinos to work in the sugar cen- trals or to other work involving re- sponsibility, according to the report. The planters also complained that the Filipinos falled to take proper care of the quarters furnished them, this bejng the principal reason why they were not rivau better quarters in which.to live. Continuing, Commis- sioner Varona said: “There were also many complaints about the tendency of the Filipino laborers to leave Hawali and go to the mainland of the United States. About 75 per cent of these laborers, 'mestly the younger ones, sign con- tracts in the Philippines with the in- tention of making stone to the United States.” The total number of Filipinos in Hawall at the time the report was prepared was 12,995, of whom 7,429 were fleld laborers. —_— MEXICAN STATUS SAME.
