The Honolulu republican. [volume] (Honolulu, T.H.) 1900-1902, 1901-04-04
Have No COMPLAIN, to Make.

| ed by the Inter-Island Steam Naviga-
| ton Company and the Wilder Steam
| ship Company, has been sent to this
! Office. The letter, as will be seen,
| states that these two corporations
have no criticism to make concerning
| the methods of examining native sea-
men and making their papers. The
letter Is as follows:
Editor Republican.--Referri to
statement in your issue of Wednes-
day. April 3rd, in the marine column
under the heading The Strike OF the
Mates" as follows:
This matter has not in any way
sweetened the recollection of local
ship-owners toward Captain Whitney.
the government inspector. who was
recently here examining local sea
men. They say that Whitney seemed
to take special joy in knitting every
native who came before him"
Inasmuch as our two companies are
the only ones concerned in the strike.
this statement apparently emanates
| from us. We wish to say most en-
| phatically that Captain Whitney show
ed the companies every possible con
| sideration. Owing to the fact that
| certain words in English have no
| equivalent in the Hawaiian tongue.
Captain Whitney had the greatest
| difficulty in examining natives. Not
| withstanding, he exhibited the great
est patience and kindness, and it is
our respective opinions that no man
was refused a certificate who was
| worthy of IL. and, to conclude, we
! would say, that in all matters per-
| tanning to the business Of the inspec-
| ton of our vessels and officers, we
| consider that we were treated with
the greatest courtesy and considera-
| ton by both Inspectors Whitney and
| Lehners
| Yours respectfully,
