That, is the belief of Jack Kawano, presi’d’ en‘ t of ILWU, Local 136. Interviewed on the eve of the primary . election, the long­ shore leader said: “It is the inten- ' DAK Official ; tion of.tjie Republican party to wipe ’’ the-Little Wagner Act clear off the —’■'books and set plantation labor back Patrons For ■ Race Eeaso T1- where it was iiefore there was or­ ganization of any kind.” In Honolulu, a city, whose citizenry represents all the races What would such a setback “Mr. Oki fills a long-felt ‘need in and nations of the Orient' and many, of the.
