The following resolution was passed unanimously at the General Executive Board meeting held in Honolulu in September 1948:

RESOLUTION: WHEREAS, The people of the Territory of Hawaii are unable to find two sides of any controversial question, in most of the commercial newspapers of the Territory, and - WHEREAS, We in the trade unions are vitally interested in both sides of any controversial issue, and WHEREAS, The Big Five, through its economic domination of a large ma­ jority of Hawaii’s commercial newspapers, are able to hide their union-breaking program from the people, and WHEREAS, The HONOLULU RECORD is the only paper in the Territory that presents true, ■ factual and complete reports of ■ all con­ troversial issues and all events, NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the General Executive Board of the United Sugar Workers, ILWU Local 142, indorse the HONOLULU RECORD and urge our members to subscribe to the paper* .
