MANY Want WORK
ON DREDGING JOB

That the Hawaiian Dredging Com
pany will have no great difficulty in
securing workmen to handle the
Pearl 1Iarbor job seems assured. Not
only have a large number Of local
men signified n desire to secure en-
ployment on the dredging work, but
communications have been received
from the mainland asking what the
chances are of securing employment.
When the contract was first award
ed, the Dillingham; Company an
nounced that, rs far MS possible, local
men would be employed on the work.
This means that II there are enough
skilled drcdge operators In Honolulu
or the Hawaiian Islands to handle the
job, no outside assistance will be ask
ed or accepted.
II is'furthcrmorc announced that,
as far as possible, all materials need
ed will be purchased here on tho
ground, thatl hawaii may derive tho
greatest possible amount of benefit
from the awarding of the contract to
a local firm.
II is not believed, however, that
there will be- enough skilled workmen
here to handle all of the work that is
projected.

DEMocRATIo UNION SPLITS.
Founder Stewart, WHIT wss Dropped, In
c~orporutes the Name.

N.N
corporates the Name.
There Ia a split In the Democratic Union.
one OF the many bodies OF independents
formed to help defeat Tammany at the
next election. The union was orga nized
by Ernest Harvier and William j. Stew
art. Until two or three weeks ago every
thing ran along smoothly. Then Harvier
and Stewart fell out. The upshot OF the
quarrel is that while Harvter seems to
have the majority Of the members with
him boo Stewart has the legal right
to the name Democratic Union.
The dissension began whom Stewart
and Nathan Greenbaum, the secretary
Of the union. were accused Of hobnob-
bling too much with the Sullivans and
other Tammany leaders. Shortly after
ward, at a a meeting Of the executive
committee. they were dropped.
Mr.. Harvier. fearing that the trouble
might injure the prospects Of the union.
consulted with some Of his friends. one
Of them being Melvin q. Pslliser, who drew
up the articles Of incorporation Of the
Independence League. Mr.. Palliser ad-
vised Mr.. Harvier to incorporate the
union and then he would be safe from
interference because he could franc
rules to suit himself. Mr.. Harvier said
he would follow tho advice. but he delayed
a few days before carrying 1t out.
Meanwhile word OF what Harvier con-
templated doing reached Stewart, He
| acted Immediately. On. Wednesday 81
last week he appeared before Justice
Guy Of the Supreme Court and had papers
Of incorporation VI the Democratic Union
signed. and they were at once sent to Al
bany to the Secretary OF State DO that
the necessary certificate might be Issued.
Two days later Mr.. Harvier also appeared
before Justice Guy with his articles,
which were also duly signed and sent to
the Secretary Of State.
Mr.. Harvfer knew nothing OF what
the Stewart faction had done, In fact the
FIRST intimation he had Of II MAS when he
and other members OF the Democratic
ing OF the executive comnpdttee at the
jackson Club. Twenty-third street and
Ninth avenue. Stewart 10 b president
Of the club.
Harvier sent hurriedly to Albany to
inform the Secretary Of State that Stew
art and his friends had no right TO the name
OF the union because they no longer ere
members OF II and insisting that he and
those who had signed the articles with
him should have the certificate issued to
them. Secretary OF State Koenig ad-
mitted that be had received both appli.
cations, but as the n from tho Stewart
group had been received two days before
the other one tho certificate had been
issued to tho Stewart incorporators.
What Harvier will do now 10 to be de-
cIded at a meeting OF his executive com-
mittee which will probably be held on
Monday night.
