4 Organized labor unions in Honolulu

become identified with the carpenters
union, and who had been employed for
a brief period by Mr.. High, came to

work. Mr.. High refused. This was in

list thereupon came upon his business
premises, and also entered the new
Kerr block where Mr.. High was full

himself to threaten other Portuguese
workmen, claiming that if they did
s not cuit work and join the union, that

High would be unable to get any more
