There was greater crowd, at the
Palama depot of the Oahu Railway &
Land Co. this morning, than is usual
ly seen at a great excursion. Over
two thousand men made mob that
crammed the waiting areas, jammed
through the gates and loaded eighteen
cars of the seven O'Clock labor spe-
cial
Many gangs went to make up the
great crowd, under as many lunas
For example, Bill Olepau had a gang
of seventy-fve Hawaiians and Jimmy
Kupihea, big Jim as he is called.
had gang of twenty-six Kalihi Ha-
waiians, all big men and hard work
ers.
There were droves OF Chinese,
squads of Portuguese, companies of
Hawaiians and punches of Porto Ri
cans and white men. Some were in
overals, but all were in garb fit for
toll and nearly every man had lunch
pail, or dinner-pail the Hawaiians not

CONFUSION IN THE CROWD.
Eighteen cars, coaches ana convert
ed freight cars such as are used on
excursions, were strung out on the
track headed by a heavy freight en-
gine, No &c, and the train was booked
to depart at o'clock Before 6
o'clock, however, there were twelve
| hundred men on hand waiting for a
chance to get to work, and when the
! train was ready to pull out there were
all of two thousand, about eighteen
hundred of whom had piled into the
coaches and open cars. Then there be-
gan questionings as to whether or not
all the willing strikebreakeTs were 60
/ ing to be taken down the line to Aiea
and Waipahu, or whether some were
to be left and the whole arrangement

secured more men than theY had bar
gained for at this stage of the strike.
! HUNDREDS LEFT BEHIND.
When the special strikebreakers'
train pulled out two cars were left
standing in the depot, the two last
cars. filled with male humanity ready
to get to work. But the engine and
sixteen cars went along without them
and Immediately roar Of protest
went up. Why were they being left
behind? AS the train was leaving the
depot yard some of the men on the
sixteenth car noticed that two cars, II
and Is. had been left behind, and,
since there were some of the same
gang of workmen on the last car leav-
ing and on the cars left behind, and
since the gangs incline to hang to-
gether and object to being separated
men jumped from the last of the NOV
ing cars to rejoin their deserted COM
rades to ascertain why they were left
behind. They gathered together neaI
the depot and discussed tho situation
until they were informed that it was
through mistake that they had beer
left behind and if they showed M
early tomorrow morning they woulC
he sent down to work; that the plan
tations of Aiea and Waipahu had al
the men necessary Just at present, bu
that provision would be made To-
those left behind today; perhaps Ew;
would be needing men tomorrow, To-
. only half the regular Japanese fore
. was working at Eva. Several of tn
Hawaiian lunas declared that the,
would nevertheless call for their pa
for today, inasmuch as they had bee
engaged to work and had then bee
: left behind against their wish. Som
were informed that they need not woi
ry about today's wages; that the
would be paid.
