HILO. May 22.-The meeting of the
Allied Trades of Hilo last Monday
night showed no abatement of interest
In the movement. Twenty-Five new
members were taken in and a number
of applicants await action at next
meeting.

the stevedores at Waiakea was taken
up and the strikers roundly cepsured.
The reprimand was based on the fact
that the strikers had no grounds for
their hasty actions, ana it was set
forth clearly that radical action of this
kind must not be taken except after
deliberation with the officers Of the
organization.
There was general congratulation
over the succe IS the movement has
met with, not only in growth of men,
bership, but with the larger emf 10y
for large gangs Of men ,n,l the outlook
for success is good.-Tribune.
THE JAPANESE ASSOCIATION.
Degawa, one of the leading spirits
in the Japanese Association Of Hilo,
an organization to further the inter-
ests Of Japanese labor, was interview
ed by Tribune reporter this week,
and he was found to be frank and
open in his expressions on the labor
situation. He said that it was not the
purpose of the Japanese Association
to harm or hurt anybody or anybody's
business. But the members would do
all they could to cripple their enemies.
1t was their only means of defense.
He said that no decisive boycotting
movement was in contemplation yet.
They were waiting and wished to
make no mistakes. Their order was
formed, he said, for self-protection.-
