last strike in which the masters and
mates participated. The attitude of
Captain Haglund iD1some instances Is
said to- have proved soffensiye to his
employers The port captain, however,
has been identified with shipping in
the Hawaiian islands for period cow
.ering many years. He has grown up
in the Inter-Island service and has
been rated as a faithful and efficient
man. At the time of the last strike it
was predicted that Haglund as we'll as
several well-known shippers of the
.coasting fleet, would be in line to lose
their positions.
Shippers Who May Feel the, Axe.
Captains T,ullett, Piltz, Freeman,
Thompson and perhaps several others
have been mentioned for some weeks
past as in line for retirement. The
only reason advanced for the severing
of relations between the company and
the veteran shippers was that they
took too prominent part in the car
rying forward of the last strike, which
is alleged to have seriously crippled
the lnter-Island service, causing thei
company to lose many thousands of
dollars, through failure of the boats to
depart for their regular ports on
schedule
