in the dispute at this stage l have
also had a talk with Vice President
Mclean of the Inter-lsland company.
We feel that there are things in

not understand, so that until more

association to keep out.
"Of course, the so-called strike will

Dear Sir:-Your favor of the 25th
January duly received, and in reply
We beg to state that the source of our
complaint does not emanate from any
particular locality or from any indi-
vidual captain.
The complaint has been general and
applies to the working of steamers in
Honolulu as we'll as Hilo and other
Islands ports, on Sundays and holi-
days.
We thank you for the promise to
investigate and rectify any mistakes
which have occurred, but to avoid any
possible misunderstanding or mis-
takes in the future, we will state that
whenever captains are requested by
the company to work Sundays or hol-
idays, a charge Of SO per day will be
made for their services. Yours very
truly,

1t is not the intention to violate
any agreement which we have en-
tered into, although the same has
terminated from a technical stand.
point, by the Company, when refusal
was made to pay certain masters, Of
which we have. already complained.
Since drawing up the agreement of
1907, conditions have changed to such
an extent that more Sunday and hol-
iday work is being required of mas
tiers, through the desire of the Amer
ican-Hawaiian and Matson Naviga-
ton Co. steamers to work Sundays
and holidays.
1t Is not our intention to have this
apply to steamers on a regular SEIZED
ule, that is to say, a steamer on reg
ular schedule which happens to con-
sumo Sunday or holiday, master of
said vessel would not be entitled to
an extra $1,000.
Further, If any vessels arriving
with cattle or way freight on Sundays
or holidays it is not ours intention that
masters should be paid for time con-
sumed in discharging same. 1t Is the
consensus of opinion that when re-
quested by the Company to work Sun
days or holidays that the masters are
entitled to remuneration for such ser.
vices and that will be $1,000 per day.

CORRESPONDENCE
OF STRIKE IS
MADE public
Letters That Led UP to Resig-
nations o fail Captains
and Mates

The full history Of the Inter-lslanG
strike is told today in letters pub
lished for the first time. The cores
pondence between the Inter-lsland
Steam Navigation Company and Ho
nolulu Harbor 81, the organization
whose members resigned from the
service of the company, thus causing
the tie-up, was made public today.
Copies of the letters were given the
Star-Bulletin by the Inter-Island Com.
rany.
1t will be noted that under date of
March a letter was written to the
lnter-Island Company for which there
Is no reply, and that under date of
July Z the Secretary of Honolulu
Harbor wrote to the company stat
ing that the previous letter was null
and void as well as all previous let
tiers on the subject.
1t is stated that President Kennedy
did not answer the letter of March
% solely because he was overwhelmed
with work during the time when the
Mauna Kea sunk in the local harbor,
but that the company complied with
mates. 1t Is stated that although the
company had complied, the letter Of
July marked a change in attitude
by the masters and mates, and that
the company declined to meet the de-
mands made by the latter letter and
later insisted upon.
The correspondence is given in full
below:

Dear Sir: - Numerous complaints
have been received by us, to the eff
feet that masters of various steamers
in the employ of your company have
been required to devote their time,
Sundays and holidays, on several oc-
casions, experimenting the loading
and discharging of cargo, for which
they have not received any extra pay;
in fact, they have stated that payment
has been refused for such services
when their bills were presented.
To avoid any complications, we de-
sire to call your attention to this and
to state that, in the future, masters
of vessels who are required to work
Sundays or holidays will charge for
their services at the rate of so per
day. Yours very truly. -u.,,...........-
