AFFAIR AT THE FOUNDRY.

The foregoing copy OF a petition tells
all that there is of friction between the
Honolulu Iron Works Company and
some of its employees. There has been
no strike. There has been no demand
for increase of wages. 1t is not likely
that there will be trouble of any sort
This conclusion is drawn from con-
versations with men of the esta blish-
ment and the management of the
works. Through the influence of agi-
tators there has been some loud talk
| ing and some very wild and utterly un-
true talking. 1t is not at all difficult to
get at the facts without prejudice or
color.
| AT O'Clock yesterday afternoon
about 200 of the native Hawaiian en-
ployes of the WORKS massed at the
business office and after a short inter
view with James A. Kennedy, the head
man in the Offices, met Manager
| Hedemann upon his return from lunch.
IOf Mr. Hedemann the men asked an
| Immediate reply to the petition given
above. II had been intended TO discuss
| it earlier in the week, but postpone
ment was had on account of extra
amounts of work in connection with
shipping to mills on the other Islands.
| Mr.. Hedemann for a minute or so
listened to score or more of men talk
ing at once. and then announced that
| he could not treat with the whole as
semblage, but would be pleased to
meet. say. three representatives OF the
party at 3 o'clock.
| AT 3 O'Clock. a trio came to the OF
fee and their chairman made the state
ment that they bad been chosen to rep
resent all of the native Hawaiian work
men and that the workmen would
Iabide by any agreement reached ne
I+vaen their committee and the manage
mont There followed at once careful
| nd full consideration of about every
sentence of the memorial. The men
talked freely, without restraint. but in
their argument simply emphasized the
requests of their petition. They dld
lnot raise the question Of wages at all
Manager Hedemann explained 10 th'
linen that in the early days Of the work!

sion the society people who are fond

There were five figures and all were
decidedly pretty and all new here. The
first was Salute to the Flag and in
it there were sued the Hawaiian and
American standards. The other four
figures were quite up TO the introduc-
tory and the new feature of the class
evening was voted a decided success
and Mrs. Gum was besieged to an

PETITION OF EMPLOYEES
Honolulu, II. L., Nov. %, 1S9

Honolulu, III. L., Nov. %, 1898.
To the Manager of the Honolulu Iron
Works Co, Mr.. c. Hedemann
Dear Sir:-Whereas, on the 18th of
the present month of November we
noticed your notice posted on the
doors of the workshops of this estab-
lishment expressing your declination
10 provide us with money every other
Saturday other than pay day as is
customary
Therefore, We, your laborers, here
with pray and ask your kindness and
love that is TO change the rule as pro-
mulgated by you, if it is possible for
you to do SO, and to restore the condi-
ton heretofore existing during the
many years gone by, for the following
reasons:
First-We are quite surprised in be-
ing shut off, because, according to
your rule just promulgated on the 18th
of November, 1898, and has become op-
eratiVe on the 21St inst. we. your
laborers, fail to see in such rule your
reason for so doing
SecOnd-This shutting off will work
us, your native Hawaiian help, a hard
ship, for those Chinese who are sup
plying us with poi will not wait for
their pay for two weeks.
And it is for these that we ask your
kindness for the second time in this
petition, as children to their parent, to
again amend and modify, as it will
appeal to your love, to the former
usual custom
We are, your humble and obedient
servants. .

PRICE FIVE CENTS.

day once fortnight should be consid-
cred ample, as hundreds of men work
ing about town were paid only once a
month and were not allowed TO draw
on the cashiers in the meantime. 1t
was suggested that those Hawaiiaus
who felt that they must use credit.
could get 1t for two weeks as well as
one. The change did not discriminate
at all. Haole mechanics who had been
IN the habit of calling for money on
blind Saturdays, would be disap-
pointed hereafter.
1t was finally agreed that the COM
mittee should say to the men that the
enforcement of the new rule would be
deferred to the new year. The month
of time adoed would give all oppor-
tunity to make personal arrangements
desired or to secure other positions. 1t
was pointed out to the men that the
foundry had always given the prefer
knowledged this and admitted that
they had never had reason to complain
Of their treatment, that Mr. Young and
Mr. Dawes, as we'll as Mr.. Hedemann
had always been considerate of them.
A number of the Hawaiians said last
evening after leaving for the day, that
some Of the men were in for going out
on strike, just because there had been
talk around town of it and for fear
they would be considered as afraid"
hpJ nd or nth od1 vi
that the men arrange themselves and
their affairs to accommodate the fort
nightly pay day.
QUESTION OF WAGES
Some inquiries were made of both
the men and the management concern
ing wages The three men who formed
received $11, one So and one $12 a week.
The lowest wages paid to an ordinary
laborer are $S a week. During all of
the past six months every man about
the place has been asked to work over
time. The pay for this is liberal and
the men who have been willing to
lengthen the day of toll have done
very we'll indeed for laborers. Many
names on the pay rolls show that lab
orers have made week after week, SIG,
SIS, $40 and even more
Some of the rumors on the street yes
terday was that haole laborers were
paid more than the natives. This was
Investigated. There are exactly two
haole laborers in the employ Both are
men beyond the apprenticeship stage
in the trade of mechanic. They are
paid what the foreman believe they are
worth. Wages in every department are
fixed by the foreman. The two haoles
receive less pay than number of Ha-
waiians at the work
The Chinese who trust the natives
are terrors as collectors. Every Satur-
day dozen of pakes hang about the
iron works to catch the natives with
wages.
