f, There may be another strike on the
part of the journeymen painters. In
a recent strike they asked for an
eight-hour day, which was conceded
them. Now the strike will be for high
er wages, the minimum being So day.
At present the white painters get So
] a day. Hawaiians 81 to So, and Japs
from 81 up, but several contractors
have been asked by Hawaiians for So
a day Most of these were non-union
men, who said they had been urged
by white painters to make this request
and join the union. 1t is thought that
this is a scheme on the part of the
union men, who think that a strike of
the non-union Hawaiians will force the
union mems wages up.
