.ar troubles OF the Star Of Russia
and the Ccylou are multiplying aS the
days 10 by. Neither vessel as YET has
been able 20 get a crew. Captain Willer
81 rho Ccyiou has had about three crews
shtuuvd and has lost them each time
through his refusal 10 give the men an
advance. They would ship probably in

There WIS more trouble nj the Star of
Russia yesterday and things remain
about the same ON this vessel rs for the
las' Few days The fight between Ne
Jsrthy and the union goes merrily on
sud the captain of the ship is losing
money hand over fist 10y the delay Ne |
Csrtby has had crew shipped and the |
uu.ou has gnticed the men away. At last |
the uniouiStS put up Job on Mccarthy |
and have had him hauled before the |
Iuited States authority, charged with |
attempting TO hold seaman's clothes for
money due. He will be tried Wednesday
and then his side of the story of the 1
ssht against the union viii be heard.
The situation has developed into one
very much like that at san Francisco
m past days, when the Sailors Union of /
she Pacific tried TO boost wages by the
same methods as are in vogue here now.
Al San Francisco there were many riots
growing ont Of the efforts Of the union
aeu TO stop others from shipping.
The union keeps close watch on ship
ping AZ all times and. according to the
captains. IL is always waiting for a time
when the men are scarce TO put the
screws on the ships. In Honolulu just
now there are very few sailors and when
he Star Of Russia went after a crew
hey had a chance 70 block the ship. So
Tar they have been successful. though
EaDiRin MorJeusen has offered the I'M
pceccdented wages Of - a month.
The delay Is costing the Star of Rus
