HIGH HANDED TREATMENT NOTHING new
Purser on ZeaIandia Kicked Because He
Was Even Troubled With Reporters
WilheImina Away---Honolulan in---
Makura From Vancouver

The incident mentioned in the morn.
ing paper in connection with the re
fusal of the Canadian-Australian
agents to allow the outgoing passen
ger list to be seen is on a par with
the treatment handed out by the pur'
ser on the Zealandia
Yesterday when the newsp apermen
went on board he first Of all kicked
because they old not wait until the
vessel came alongside and then be-
cause he was bothered at all There
were no passenger lists available with
the exception of two given to the Pro
motion committee.
The manner in which the zealandia
purser has acted to passengers at vari-
GUS times has also called for comment
and the generally expressed idea Is
that the Oceanic company will have
no difficulty in making a good name
for itself
The men holding similar positions
on the Makura and Mariana have
everything ready when they come into
port and there is never any trouble.
At the office information is likely to be
Withheld at any time unOer the present
management, but with Passenger
Agent Buchanan returning this morn
ing in the Honolulan matters should
improve. Buchanan has always been
willing to extend the usual courtesies
and the waterfront reporters are glad
to see him back.
