Hawaii Co. Gives Up in Disgust
From Our Tahiti Correspondent AFTER being a prominent factor in the economic life of Hawaii for 67 years, the Inter-Island Steam Navigation Company, of Honolulu, has disposed of its last remaining ship, the Humuula, and gone out of business.
Losses due to a succession of shipping strikes since the termination of the war
left the company with no alternative but to suspend operations. The Inter-Island’s smaller floating drydock was towed to sea and scuttled on February 16. Now, in consequence of the demands of the Dry dock Union and the inability of the com pany to accede to them, their remaining drydock is condemned to the same fate as the most practical means of her dis posal.
