lcrday afternoon brought gloom to a
band Of Federal employees stationed in
the PARADISE of The Pacific.
For the fourth consecutive time, the
head official Of Uncle Sans operation
If the fleet OF transports has turned n
deaf ear to the petition coming from
the Honolulu delegation of Federal
employees that they be permitted to
utilize the transports in making jour.
uoys Ia and from the Coast.
There is nothing doing" was the
ICioindcr coming from one transport
Inicial when the matter was brought
10 the fore soon after the Sherman had
come alongside Oceanic wharf from
the Coast.
Some weeks ago a joint gathering OF
employees Of all the Federal depart
momls represented in Honolulu was
held and petition was forwarded to
Washington asking that relief be Civ
"a IN the form OF the right to receive
transportation on government trans
ports. The contention Is made that
Territorial employees now have the
much coveted permission so far DIS
lies in the power of the local Quar-
tcrmastcr to accommodate persons
connected with this branch of the SER
vice.
The matter has been carried up
through the regular channels but the
last appeal, an answer being received
yesterday, appears TO have forever set
tied the status of Uncle Sans repre-
sentatyes In the Hawaiian Islands.

Whether the diverting of the Sher-
man will serve 10 disarrange the pres
ent trans-Pacific schedule, no one on
