Honolulu Record, September 2, 1948, vol. 1 no. 5, p. 1
The Waipahu unit of the ILWU sugar local in a general membership meeting held Sunday morning, heard reports of the sugar negotiation, voted a $100 contribution to the Hawaii Civil Liberties Committee for the Reinecke defense and heard talks by Stephen Murin, HCLC chairman, and by Democratic party officials.
In an open-air meeting held at the former Japanese social club, the members decided to raise funds for the civil liberty fight by soliciting contributions through house to house canvassing.
Stephen Murin's report "on the proceedings of the Reinecke hearing was heard in three languages —English, Japanese and Filipino— by more than 300 members of the union.
After the meeting the Waipahu members of the HCLC remained to discuss additional projects to raise the civil liberties "fighting fund." The members decided to hold a beach party in the near future.
