with the cost OF living increasing

The public press has criticised the
manner in which our union declared
the strike. 1t being said that we sim
ply refused TO work, without any at
tempt on our part at adjustment.
While this is not altogether true, yet
it is quite inlmaterial, now the strike
is on. Should our claims be just,
they should be a.ceded to in all fair.
ness, and refusal to do so should not
be based upon the manner employed
by our members to enforce them.
Should they be unjust, they should
not be granted under any circumstan-
ces.
Up to the present writing our men
are standing firmly by what they be-
lieve to be right, and we hope that
public sentiment. always potent fac.

acquiesce. " r..

brief and vigorous discussion at
the public and special meeting called
by the chamber of commerce yester>
day afternoon resulted in the passage
of the following resolution by a vote
of more than 20 to some three or four:
"Resoived, That the Chamber Of
Commerce Of Honolulu declares il to
be its fixed and permanent policy to
support the free right of every employ
or AMI every individual to enter into
such contracts Of employment as they
may desire without interference or die
tation by outside parties or oreaniza-
tons; to insist that Honolulu be main
tanned as an open port, and to further
the right Of every resident to pursue
any lawful employment or occupation
he may desire, without nolestation,
harm or intimidation by others; to in

order by the public authorities, and to

"RESoLvED, That the presiden Mt
and other proper officers Of this cham.
Der be and they are hereby authorized
to appoint such additional committees
and to do all such acts as in their
judgment are or become necessary to
effectively carry out the policy above
declared"
Robert w. Breckons, who at several
times during the meeting protested
that the resolution was directed
against organized labor and should
not be passed, introduced a resolution
calling for the appointment of a spe
cial arbitration committee, but instead
the meeting adopted the following mo-
tion by A. Lewis, Jr.: . 49,.
Il move that the present status ex-
listing between employees and employ
ers of labor on the waterfront be re.
ferred to the committee on arbitration
of this chamber for investigation"

Jack Edwardson. business agent of
the Sailors Union, furnished feature
OF the discussion. He asked leave to
speak and when recognized by the
chairman as the organizer and pro.
moter of the longshoremen's union, :"
he denied being such, but later de-
clared emphatically that he was able
TO speak for the union and TO repre-.
sent il. - m:
Edwardson SPOKE mainly in favor of
an increase OF wages for the long.
shoremen, and though reminded by
the chairman that this subject was
not before the meeting, he declared
that-it was nevertheless the chief
problem involved. - =...
We admit that we made a mistake
in the beginning in not yoicing our
demands before the walkout-it wasn't
strike" he said. and later said that
other mistakes might be made but
that the longshoremen acted largely in
ignorance. --..
He also declared that when the
chamber talked of preserving law and
order, it should notice infractions of
the law by others than strikers. He
said that a strikebreaker had appeared
on the waterfront carrying revolver.
He also said that strikebreakers, after
getting through a nights work, we're
not allowed to go home but we're forci.
bly, detained either on the dock or on a
launch. =
In the course Of his talk, Edwardson
said that the union men are entirely
willing to modify their written terms
of demand so that union labor shall be
specified where obtainable." Ill.
M. F. Prosser cut through good
deal Of miscellaneous discussion by
declaring that the question facing
businessmen of Honolulu was wheth-
er Iaboring man is to have the right
to go to work for whom he pleases
and at what wages he pleases. This
brought the discussion to the vote on
the various resolutions and motions.
Previously Breekons had asked Tor
specific cases where violence had oc-
cured and Joseph E. Sheedy had cited
a number and also pointed to the gem
eral evidences of a policy of intimida.
tion pursued by strikers and their
sympathizers. - 81

Already Calhoun county has begun

plant James Keith, Jr., former presi-

of her time in bringing the impor-
lance of the nitrate plant to the at

in all the southern states.
Mrs. Mathis states that all that is
necessary to show the supremacy of
Muscle Shoals over any other of the
several competitors is to bring out the
fact that the Alabama site was favored
in the report of the army engineers. To
do this, she says, money will be nee

MEN FROM EVERYWHERE

IL Is Impossible 10 keep track of the
various organizations on duty here. We
meet representatives of every branch Of
the service, and it seems as though we
hear of new one every day. We have
met and "hiked' with the Second Idaho
infantry, and learned to esteem them
highly, and have dug trenches with the
California Mounted Engineers under the
guns of the California artillery. Our
boys have fraternized with the Utah cav
airy. the Twelfth United States infantry
and few assorted troops and batteries
OF the regular service thrown in. Only
few days ago one of our outposts ran
into two men from the District of CO.
lumbla signal corps. We did not even
know such an organization was living,
and thought at first they were from
Captain Amerine's Alabama signal com
pany.
If anyone would care to see soldiers.
and wanted them in assorted lots and of
all sorts and degrees, he need go no fur
ther than Nogales. Let him stroll down
Morley avenue any evening, and he will
think that all the fighting men on Uncle
Sans muster rolls have foregathered
there He will see every color and kind
OF hat cord-the infantry blue, cavalry
yellow, artillery scarlet, and the maroon
and white of the medical corps and the
orange and white of the signal corps.
lie VIII De JoStled by men of every rank
and service, and he will marvel at the
perfect order that prevails. Knowing that
soldiers, as a rule, are men of spirit
and frolicsome withal, he wonders at
their meekness of manner. Then he
notes that posted at intervals of a few
yards are certain large men in uniform,
wearing side arms, with the legend M
p" on the left sleeve. They, he will be
told. are the military police. Then he
understands
The military police come from every
branch of the service. They are care
fully chosen and must meet certain rigid
requirements before getting the coveted
detail. They must be powerful of ply
sique, of good habits, and with large
amount of tact and discretion. When
confronted by one of these experienced
man handlers the most frolicsome youth
is apt to assume an air of dignity.
And the very first time a village smarty
from the wildos of Alabama or Idaho or
California gets gay and tries to pull any
rough stuff he finds himself in the mid
die of a whole lot of trouble. If he
wants to try any strong arm work he
can get all he wants right here in No
gales.

NAMES IN TWO TONGUES

Morley avenue, the chief business street
OF our Nogales, runs parallel with the
faliroad tracks, crosses International
avenue, and continues on through No
gales, Sonora We don't know what it's
name is after it crosses the "line"-"Ave-
nue. de Morley probably, for these Mex
leans have bad habit of twisting good
American words into Spanish every
time they get a chance. For instance,
they call the Airdome- theatre where
our boys love to congregate to commune
with Charley Chaplin and other film IA
yorites, the Theatre Aerodomo."
Most of the street signs are in both
languages. The "jitneys' have two signs
on the windshield, one in good United
States flor hire" which anybody can
understand, and the other, de rental
for their Mexican patrons On the rail-
way station is the sign, Southern Pa
cific Railway" on the other, Sud Pa
cifico de Mexico" This sort of things
seems rather out of place and a waste
OF good words. If gentleman from
over across the border wishes to come
over to our side let us, by all means
make him welcome, but surely there is
no reason why he should pack his Ian
guage along with him.
The American Nogales teens with SOL
dlers. We are told that there is some
where between 1000 and 10000 troops
camped in the district That is rather
indefinite, but it is about as good a
guess as anybody seems able to make.
The bulk of them are Alabamians-three
regiments of infantry, signal company.
an ambulance company, field hospital
and other auxiliary troops"
