FIREMEN TO ASK
MORE WAGESFROM.
II. COMP ANY

Firemen of the Inter-Island company
are the latest to fall into line with
demands for wage increases. A pc
tition to the company is being cireu-
lated among them and is to be present
ed when fully signed up They will
ask for an increase of SO a month and
% cents an hour for overtime.
Copies of the petition which is to
be presented to the proper Inter-Island
officials were today seen by a repre-
sentative of the StarBulletin. They
set forth that the fifemen had ex-
pected that their wages would be adj
vanced with those OF the sailors but
that they have had no notification that
such is the case. 1t further. says that
the petitioners are affected by the
higher cost of living equally with the
sailors and that the signers therefore
feel compelled to call the matter to-
the attention of the company officials.
There are about 80 Chinese and 20
Japanese employed by the Inter-Island,
it is said. The regular wage now, the
men say, is $40 month and 25 cents
