Ask Federal
Help To End
Arms Strike
Both General Manager Pin
ney Of Remington Com
pany, and international
Union Officers Gone to
Washington to Lay Situa-
tion Before Government
Pickets at Factory Moved
On By Police. \

When the striking polishers of the
Remington Arms Co. failed to return
to work this morning, H. H. Pfnney,
general manager of the company left
for Washington to lay the matter be-
fore the federal authorities.
On the next train. John J. Flynn
and James Darr, International execu-
tive board members of the Metal Pol
ishers', Buffers, P1aters', Brass and
Silver Workers union, left to present
the unions side of the case.
The union officials had planned to
seek a conference here today with
Manager Pinney, in the hope that
would accept the schedules of changes
they proposed. Manager Plnney,
however, it is understood, will hold
no more conferences but will leave
the muddle up to the United States
government. He went to- Washing
ton with that intention.
When the labor officials learned of
Manager Pinney's departure, they
left on the next train, in order that
their views might be given a hearing.
A meeting of polishers is being held
this afternoon at Eagles hall, at
which it had been planned to receive
the report of the expected conference
between the international executives
and Manager Pinney. AS the confer
eTlce was not held the meeting merely
discussed pickets' reports.
Pickets were not disturbed by the
police at the plant this morning
prior to o'clock. After that they
were kept moving.
Twenty of the 500 strikers are all
that have broken the ranks, accord
ing to the union men.

THE WAY TO PEACE.

Up to the present writing the peace talk OF Ger
many is merely the signal for another outourst OF
bombast
1t appears that the latest German chancellor
hopes to hearten his tired and hungry followers by
directing his scorn at the United States II TINS
does him any good he is entitled to all the benefits
The immediate influence SO far as this country Is
concerned will be to speed up those who ordinarily
do not wake up and work till they are treated to
: slap in the face.
If the nations fighting to free the world OF mis-
cradle military dictatorship had any idea OF cons1d
ering q peace dictated by Germany, they would
hardly have taken the trouble to dispute the ad-
.auce of the kaisers woman killers in the first
,lace.
Anyone who really let up during the last few
DAYS thinking that real peace talk might be forth
coming may now take another hitch in his belt and
get to work with renewed vigor
/. This is long game, bitter game and one in
which guarantee Of freedom Of thought and action
for ourselves and our posterty can only be gained
through a fight.
We can make peace when the last armed foe e1'
pires.

evidently been cut out for a white

army shirt was so small that he was
forced to leave it open at the neck

RIPPING THE ROADS.

Plain people having occasion to use the road be
tween Honolulu and Pearl City report that within
the last forty-eight hours considerable section Of
the road beyond Aiea was ripped by tractor-pre-
sumably plantation tractor. Ripped is used ad-
visedly because it is practically impossible for a
tractor to pass over a macadam road without rip
ping it in a manner that heads to hastv ruin.
How is it with the roads of the outside district?
Are they to be ripped at will by tractor drivers and
the owners of ordinary vehicles Quoted by being
told that heavy traffic is what makes the highway
between Honolulu and Pearl City resemble a log
ging road when the frost is coming out of the
ground?
Is there anyone in the government Of the city big
enough to say "halt' to the destructive tractor and
having said it, make it stick?
Or do we have to have to enjoy a continuous round
Of humping the bumps that are worked in the
roads by lack of protection and then wonder why
we most always have bump and chasm where
the road ought to be?

LETTERS
THE LOYALTY OF THE FILIPINos

Editor Star Bulletin.
Sir: Will you be kind enough to
give the following space in your paper
for the Filipinos in the territory, in
behalf of the Registration Day, July
81 thank you. B. MckAPAGAL.
Fellow countrymen:
The United States is now at war
with the determination to stop that
war and bring that war into Its death
grave so that democracy, liberty and
justice might live. We are part of
this great struggle between the right
and the wrong. The right must bring
the peace of the world, while the
wrong must go amuck to its defeat.
At this moment We cannot ignore the
dictate of justice drains throughout
the civilized world. 1t must come into
one of our motives the thing that we
most sincerely believe. For this thing
we must dedicate ourselves to the
precious principles belong to human
fty. The principles which tolerate no
other to split the counsel Of the right.
To that, we concentrate the warmth
of our blood with our sincere desire to
overcome the greed of might. 1t must
be our choice alone not to admit de-
feat, because we belong to the war
of democracy and humanity.
Today, in our country we do not
hear so much air the talk of indie
pendence. Today we often hear in
the assurance of democracy. Before
the United States entered into the
war we had little hope for self-govern-
ment, even after the passage OF the
Jones Bill, because we know there is
a menace to Grip our shore. After the
United States declared war against
the German autocracy and its despotic
militarism, for the maintenance Of uni.
versal democracy and liberty Of all ma
tions, great and small, in which the
Philippines is included, henceforth
our cOuntry's hope is most certainly
assured.
To this great desire and choice OF
the free people, we deem 1t our duty
to plea unto the great cause on that
choice. We want to feel to make our
own choice, and bring that choice as
our sacred duty in this crisis, besides
our candid loyalty to the United
States. We want to inject into our
warm feeling and enthusiasm the rea
spirit of a true patriotism, because
it is that duty, and not the question
of citizenship, whatever that demands
US to deem such duty. So we must
go. The choice made by the Homo
able Manuel Quezon to offer $50
Filipinos to Uncle Sam, reflects ii
genuine patriotism Of the Filipinos il
these islands. In his approval to the
offer, President Wilson said: 1T may
have wholesome effect, even in Eu-
rope, to have the Filipinos there
fighting for the cause of democracy"
If We have the desire of democracy
if we want to appear as a free peopIe
and as a nation, if we seek after JUS.
tice waved among all peoples, and II
we believe in peace and happiness OF
the world, let US then cancel the can
Ger Of cowardice that bars our de-
sire to shade blood for the cause of
democracy There is only one legt

REGULATING RED CROSS WORK.

Consolidation Of Hawaii's war relief enterprises
il good business. 1t is in keeping W n the spirit
Of the hour to put the best possible business man
agement and concentration Of energy into every pro-
ject related to our war for world freedom.
Dollars will be saved by centering the money
contributions in one organization. And contribu'
lions will be more generally forthcoming when 1t Is
fully understood that all the money and the mate
rial goes straight to the Red Cross.
The War Relief Committee Of Hawaii has done
excellent work and the Allied War Relief Commit
tee is real practical sympathy factory where every
stitch counts. Yet there has been feeling that
these organizations on account Of their sphere OF
ton previous to this being our war, specialized and
therefore not exactly regular In 90 far a. con-
cerned their relation to that sweeping wealth Of
mercy and efficiency included in the popular inter
bretation of the name American Red Cross. az
Right here it is we'll to call attention to the power

one knows t'Red Cross" Once connect up with
sRed Cross" and money and material how from all
centers. "Red Cross" through its good work and
Glso through the incessant repetition given the
name unlocks pocketbooks and attracts workers Of
every description.
Say that your committee is a Relief Committee
and they will ask you "What relief" Let it be
Known that you are recognized workers for the Red
Gross, and the whole story is told.
Let the War Relief Committee that has handled
such large sum Of money for direct Transmission
to sufferers from the war; and the Allied War Relief
that has rendered 30 much material aid, be once
regularly connected up with the American Red
Cross-with which they have heretofore cooperated
then the funds for this work should begin coming
ID from all corners of the territory.
Everyone knows that when Red Cross contribu.
ton is mentioned any help you can give, however
small it may seem in comparison, is appreciated
and solicited.
Begin 10 lay aside your nickels and dimes for the
Redd Cross contribution that will do you SO much
good to give. :
