The fact ,ha, ono OF the busiest men
in Honolulu should take the time to
send the Press the squihs above
printed, shows that the doings of the
Wotkingmcn's Association as detailed
At such length by the cnictpriSing
dailicS arc read and thought about
The Press Of last week stated the case
exactly as 1t applies to those men OF big
speech and small performance who dis
grace the real workingmcn by meaning
I less mou,hingS, silly buster and vicious
rant Hut Il is Just as wrong sweep
lngy to condemn all wotkingmen for
7 the faults and follics of some of their
number rs il Is 20 endorse what they
do in bulk and So repeat the terrible
mistake of the san Frauciaco Call and
Chronicle in the agitation which gave
California the curse of kcarncyism
Ii Is with pleasure, therefore. that we
print the following extract from a
private letter sent one OF the editors by
a working employer We ahaic moth
/ ing of what We said las, week and
consider the talk OF which We com.
planned then the most injurious
possible to the best interests OF
/ the community OF workingmen and
drones,' OF employers and employed.
OF rich and poor, OF BARRIERS and editors,
As an adm'rer and supporter Of the Press. |
wish to address To YOU lew thoughts in tela.
tion to the Press and the working men union.
The union was organifed lot purposes OF
material aid. encouragement and social inter
eoursc. its basis Of membership being broad
enough to admit the iaborer at the whah and
the labofer at a learned profession. The plan.
and acts Of the UNION arc Published and its
doors open to all eomcrS never was society
more etVsir eonducte,l: and it has been nd.
mu,ed that the meetings have been conducted
| in business like and orderly manner.
Now, Sit. | hold that every organization
should be Judged 10y its acts, its reports and
resolutions, and these are the legitimate
not the expressions OF one mcmbcr-even OF
the chairman. You will see that ! allude to
paragraphs in your last issue which to my
mind were otherwise, for reasons which
need not name.
/ trust We may obtain more consideration
lrim YOU in future; please bear in mind that
the working man has but little time ior study
OF fur the company OF refined people.
| trust you will notice the oRfrasr which
otiieialdom had the power 10 niict upon US pn
Tuesday evening. The lrmory was hired to
Us by the month and We paid the rent as i,
came due, and therefore did no, expect that
Governor Dominis would forbid us the use OF
it last Tuesday evening. The frs, intimation
we received was from the jani,or, about P.
NJ, who informed US that in consequence OF a
poster that he (ihc governorl was shown, he
refused Us the armory for the meeting. After
vainly searching for suitable hall, Mr.. Cart.
enberg offered US his upper floor free, where a
remnant met 10 the number OF about sixty.
We were thS deprived OF the presence OF a
large number who would have helped TO sub.
scribe to the supPor; OF the unfortunate people
We are caring for.
But here the genius Of officialdom again
appeared in the person of Deputy Marshal
I Dayton. who advised the owner OF the place
no, to allow the meeting Dayton said to Mr..
Ganenberg, 81 will hold you responsible fol
any disturbance that may arise; they have
been refused two halls already" gave Mr.
Dayton little OF my mind, word of advise
and an invitation upstairs, which last he ac
eep,ed.
Comment IS unnecessary. Practical moral
"It IS high time that some OF the official.
realize they are the servants, not the masters o
the public. They are adopting the mos, etiec
tuai steps to encourage the needed reform o
the elections of certain officials" Lastly. il
We had left twenty-five destitute women ant
children to the tender mercy OF Dominis anc
Dayton, these gentry would not be disturbed
and quieiness would reign for oifcialdom, with
a certainty OF quiet gras~S for some Of tn,
twenty-two.
