Claiming Discrimination Union
lists Walk Out Again Before
Days Work Done

There was little on the surface last
night to indicate that striking steve.
dores intended TO return TO work this
morning after their latest walkout yes
terday morning, just as they had re
turned TO work at the increased wage
scale. They walked out because eleven
Japanese working on the Matsonia
were dropped. These men were in the
gangs Of rt1~b ghf0h 'lunas who ghaa RE-
turned to duty YESTERDAY. It IS the
policy of. MeCabe, Hamilton q Kenny
TO keep the Japanese together under T.
Mizusaki, Japanese foreman, and they
were refused work In the Hawaiian
gangs. CHI, Atherton said last night
mat il was the intention of the com
pany to continue the policy of japan
csc under Japanese hnas only. d. 81
ct looks TO me like a fight to the
finish, Mr.. Atherton said "The men
practically had promised to return TO
work, and they walked out, starting
the whole thing over again"
Jothing Favorable F.1
Robert w. Single, who has been
acting as Intermediary at different
times for the strikers, said that he had
nothing favorable 70 report. There
was nothing he could do, be said. He
expressed his regret that the men had
walked out again, and said he wished
they would return TO work go
Recruiting of strikebreakers began
on a large scale yesterday, following
the walkout, and the shipping compa
mics evidently intend TO make il a fin.
ish struggle, IL necessary. Union men
said that they intended to stick with
the Japanese, bnt their declarations
were not emphatic Is some they had
made during the micdle of the strike,
and il may be. that they will weaken
and not attempt to break the tradi.
tional policy of the stevedoring com.
pany. ,ltt, 30.
vi nine gangs working the Matsonis
yesterday morning, seven we're Ha-
waiian, who had just returned to work,
and two were Japanese. As is Gus.
tomary, the lunas selected their men,
md two included eleven, japanese. At
intervals during the morning these men
were dropped, because they were not
working in Mizusaki's gang. There.
upon the other union men got out, six
gangslin all, and said othey would not
work until the Japanese were taken
back. Union men denied that Mizu
saki had offered to employ the eleven
Japanese in his gang.
The eleven were former Mizusaki en-
ployes. They and twenty others had
joined the union--thirty-on lin all, Of
a. total strength If eighty men. MiSu-
saki eountered by recruiting his strength
up TO one hundred and fifty men, and
he was a great aid - the shipping, com
panies in the effort to. keep things NOV
ing with green hands,, a. he always of.
fered nucleus Of experienced long.
shoremen. '.....s.,-I
Luna Sixteen Years Il,
During sixteen years tMiEusaki has
has all Japanese longshoremen under
him, assigning them 10, other lunas,, if
they were needed to hlL, out gangs, but
keeping their time and in general hay
ing charge of them. Selection of ia.
panese for gangs Of other lunas, with.
out reference to Mizusaki, meant the
breaking down of this policy.
. Union men asserted that the promise
of McCabe, Hamilton q Kenny that
there would be no Discrimination had
been broken. The attitude Of shipping
men was that the selection of the ia,
panese by lunas other than Mizusaki
was an effort to break him.
Undoubted Collision
Mr.. Anterior said that an attempt
was being made to diseredit Mizusaki:
There is, without doubt, collision
between the company s policy and that
Of the union.
In spite of predictions that the Ha
waiians and Japanese, not to mention
other races, could not be held together
in one union, the Hawaiians walked out
in behalf of the Japanese.
Hochi Is Bitter
Fred Makino's paper, the Hawaii
Hochi, published bitter editorial yes
terday afternoon. Capitalists of Ha
waii were accused of endeavoring to
promote the friendship of different
races only with their lips, but their
deeds are quite contrary to their
words.
t"The union stevedores went on strike
again this morning because Japanese
stevedores who have Joined the union
we're refused work as union members
by steamship companies, being advised
10 work under I. Mizusaki, luna OF
Japanese stevedores," said the Hochi.
Capitalists are taking the lead to
promote friendly relations between
Americans and Japanese, and insist
