APPROVEDELAY

Though the inter-lsland Steamship
Navigation Company received the
Japanese sailors request for higher
wages through the sailors represen.
tatiye, James Hakuc.e, about two
weeks ago. ii has not promised them
an advance in wages. Last Sunday
evening Japanese sailors who were in

President J. A. Kennedy of the com:
Pany, 1t the old moving picture tent

panied by one of the company's Off
GERS and Japanese interpreter, told
the sailors, Who numbered about 10,
that the company had received their
petition for wage advance through
James Hakuole, but that the company
could not advance wages at the pres
ent time as two directors are on the
mainland and the company must wait
until their return before taking any
step in the matter. He asked the sail
ors to keep quiet and wait.
This did not satisfy the men, who
held meeting afterwards TO deter
mine the future steps they will take.
Yesterday one of the sailors called
upon local japanese newspapers and
told them their story. The men will

that wher the water was allowed to
rush into the canal before the digging
was complete it drained under some of
the banks and caused the slides that
would not have happened if the au-
thoSities had waited until all the ex-
cavation necessary had been completed.
He said that he did not regard the

fore the digging was over had anything
to do with the trouble which has
caused the temporary closing of the
canal and that the slides have not oc-
