Strikers Have Their Troubles.
Several thousand dollars, reported
as held in trust in the treasury of Ho-
nolulu Harbor No. "a, Masters and
Mates Association is declared today
as a bone of contention between op-
posing factions in that organization.
1t was alleged this morning that
those masters and mates who had de-
cided to stay with the Inter-Island
management in the present difficulty
would take steps to prevent the with
drawal of moneys from the Harbor
Golfers to be used in the settlement of
attorneys fees and other expenses in
CURED in the recent strike among the
dissatisfied element among the order.
From stories that have gained gener
al circulation in waterfront circles, it
is stated that process of law may be
brought into play with a view Of re-
straining certain members of the har-
Dor from appropriating jharbor funds,
to defray the expense account made
necessary by the action of the dissat-
isifed wing of the organization.
1t is Dredicte1' that should such ac-
ton be-. IKen, the right will be bit
teH~Jne, and would doubtless have
much to do with disrupting Harbor
No. "a as an organization.
The contention has been raised by
men who still retain their positions in
the Inter-Island company, that money
paid into the organization by them
should not be utilized in the settling
of claims against the harbor, brought
about because of the strike, in which
they have had no part.
The sum held in trust by Harbor No.
"a is variously estimated at between
five and forty thousand dollars.
