Rubber Planters Get Huge Profits From Plantations
Great Boom in Industry Is Comparable to Oil Discoveries in America
Singapore, March 16. The great boom in the rubber industry caused by the restriction of output and resultant high prices has brought fortunes comparable only to those made by the big oil discoveries in America.
When rubber reached a price well over a dollar a pound many estates in British Malaysia and the Dutch India were selling rubber at $1.30 per one thousand or 1,000 per cent for the year 1925. Salaries of estate managers have soared. There has been a tremendous boom in rubber shares. Speculation on the future value of paupies has been rife. Even the poor Tamil and Chinese laborers who do the actual work of rubber growing have profited. Rubber has been seen as a highly valuable resource "the gold of black Malaysia."
Individual rubber shares have leaped hundreds of points and fortunes have been made and lost in speculation in them. One estate is Jainmade from India, a month's interest on his expenses, including interest on capital, for a year.
However the whole industry is not without its shadows of uncertainty. The element of risk is considerable. Rubber planting is carried on in plantations, where rubber may be imported. British Malaysia depends on Tamila, and Chinese, and planters live in continual fear of labor organizations and strikes. Bohekwah province, a municipal center of China, have been active from time to time among the Chinese laborers, and the rubber man frankly confess they are afraid of trouble. Labor must be kept on the job, and workers must be clothed whether there is work or not and regardless of the price of rubber When it is imported, fares must is paid and a large amount of capita expended to the get the men to the plan
There is a constant demand for higher wages, and scales have already gone up considerably in the British possessions where Tamil la borers now get 25 cents a day and Indian traders pay $1 a dollar (highest prices for the east).
Other dangers to the industry are that the Americans will get a source of supply of their own through development of plantations in Brazil and Africa, or that some tree disease may appear and run the plantations.
