Secretary Moses K. Kahue of the
local steyedores' union said today he
had heard that Jack Belser had dis
charged 200 strike-breaking FilipiHos
because they would not work Belser
said at noon in answer to this rumor
that 20 or 100 Filipinos had laid on
this morning because there was not
work enough to go around. He added
that he now has more strike-breakers
on hand than he can use. -"
Governor Lucius E. Pinkham and
l..
manding the National Guard of Ha-
vail, paid q visit to the strike-break-
ers' camp on Pier 16 this morning
about 1890 and made an inspection
of general conditions there, paying
attention to the sanitary and other
facilities. They are said to have re.
marked that the men seem well TAX
en- care Of and that the camp is clean
and in good condition. -~.

has 1901 tons for this port and I'll for

Waterfront is Quiet ....."-E
"Quiet as a country graveyard"
was the statement regarding the
strike zone which Sheriff Rose, Capt.
Baker and Star-Bulletin representa-
tive agreed upon following a trip
along the waterfront this morning.
The sheriff still has his extra po.;
licemen at hand for emergencies and
they are being fed at the jail, hut
there has been no sign of disorder by
the strikers since Wednesday morning
when the Oahu train was derailed
near IwiIei road
Jack EdwardsoR seemed very opti-
mistic of the outcome for the strikers
and denied rumor that some of the
union men had returned to work.
Court Cases Postponed
Six defendants, arrested on various
charges in connection with the strike,
were arraigned in the district court
this morning and their cases post
poned to next Wednesday when sever
al more strikers will be heard. At
toFney Robert w. Breckons represent
ed the defendants and Attorney John
w. Cathcart is assisting Prosecutor
Chillingworth.
ALI of the defendants have been re-
leased on bail. .-..
Japanese Would Return
An important development OF the
strike situation is that numbers of
the Japanese steyedores who left |
their work in sympathy with the
strikers or from intimidation are re-
turning to the jobs they left where
possible. Where they left to affili-l
ate with the union some are express
ing dissatisfaction.
This morning Mizusaki had 80 of |
his regular stevedoring force at work
for him and 20 who we're engaged byl
him when his old men left him. This |
brings his force up to 10, which is al
most up to the usual force which he
employs.
Resolutions Alter Their View
When cable advices yesterday in
formed local Japanese of the action
taken by the federation of labor at
Eureka in passing strong anti-Japa-
nese resolutions they had a decided I
effect upon those here who were hest
tating on which side to cast their lot.
These are now willing to return to the
shippers If they are assured of pro-
lection. !.
Send Delegates to Paper
Last night three delegates we're
sent from the Japanese who Joined the
union to the Nippu Jill. These three
men said that those who had sent
them wished them to say that they
did not quit work from any desire to1
join the union, but felt that they were
to do so; that their EN-
pleyer blamed them for not returning
to work when they feared violence
from strikers and said he did not want
any chicken hearted" men under him.
They added they have found matters
with the union far different from what
they expected.
MizHsaki said this morning that if
my OF the Japanese who had joined
the union desired to return TO work
and would leave the union he would
receive them and would find jobs for
