Widespread Strike
Narrowly Averted
2lOne System Tied Up For An Hour
By Wailuku Branch Operators
Other Operators Ready To Walk
Out

A discontented employe of the
Mutual Telephone & Telegraph com
pany Wailuku branch caused a COM
plete ticup in the telephone service
for an hour Tuesday afternoon and
intermittent service for "a hours al
forwards, and almost succeeded iii
getting the operators in the other
Maui exchanges to go on strike.
According to T. A. Brown, manager
of the Telephone company on Maui,
the trouble was caused by an opera
tor who refused to be guided by the
schedule as laid out ~ the Office, but
who attempted to run the operators
room to suit himself 1t was also
asserted that this operator was TAX
ing an hour more time from his Shift
than he Was entitled to, and after be-
ing spoken to about it several times,
resented il and threatened TO walk out
and take the girl operators with him.
Consultation with the girls by Mr..
Brown developed that they wanted
six hour day and no night work, con-
tending th,y We're tfraid to go home
in the dark. On being refused this
demand the entire operating force
on duty walked out at $3.50 o'clock.
Want Six Hour Day
The operators according to Eddie
Benjamin, their spokesman, had been
working for eight hours a day with
out any rest or break, and no
luncheon hour. They also stated that
they had always worked six hours
and they wanted to continue that way
or if they had to work eight hours
they wanted an increase in pay OF
25 per cent.
Mr.. Brown stated that the fact of
the operators working for eight hours
without taking their lunch hour was
news to him, as he took it for granted
they were taking their hour, and had
made the schedule of eight hours with
one hour for lunch, which makes the
actual working day but seven hours.
He said that the increase to the eight
equalize the work all over the island,
as some exchanges were working
longer than others.
Benjamin stated that was not true.
That Brown had never mentioned
lunch to them and that they had
worked straight through the day. AT
five o'clock Wednesday evening word
came TO Wailulku that the operators
at Paia and Makawao were ready to
walk out unless they got a siX-hour
day. They We're asked to wait until
before taking any definite action, and
the striking girl operators of Wailu-
ku resumed work at $3.50 o'clock yes
terday morning, pending a settlement.
Bonus Increased
The board of directors held a meet
ing yesterday afternoon and at that
time adopted a schedule which was
submitted to the operators ana de-
clared by them to be satisfactory,
There is to be a uniform schedule of
hours per day for each operator
with one hour off for lunch, making
the actual working time seven hours
A wage scale was adopted based on
the length of employment, and the
10 per cent bonus which is paid to
the employees at the end of the year
was increased to 25 per cent,
All the operators expressed them
selves as satisfied, according to the
directors, except the original agitatoI
Benjamin, who asked for and received
months pay and quit the job.

rangements including Forest Lawn
cemetery in the bird field day pro-
gram Saturday morning. In my
opinion there is no bird sanctuary
in this region to compare with For
est Lawn. 1t is a large tract having
many native trees and shrubs and It
is free from molestation by the
enemies of birddom. The result is
that number of rare species of
birds have made homes in the Gem
