A White Mans oouD try.


the literature, which is to be- distri-
buted by Com missioner Marsden in
his endeavors to induce white" men
to come here and work on the coolie
plantations.
A number OF "wbite" employees
have left the Oahu plantation, be-
cause they refused to be treated like
Asiatio coolies and wanted to decide
for themselves where, and what they
would eat,
Some of them called at our Office
after arriving in town and their
spokesman, Mr., Strout, stated the
rsasons why they had left the plan
tatiop.
They had no "hick" coming against
Mr.. Ahrens, tho Manager, as an en-
ployer, although they thought that
he properly might have Investigated
their grievances and listened to their
complaints, before issuing his ulti-
matum.
The men we're ordered to take
their meals at the plantation board
ing house, which is in charge of a
Chinese coolie. They claim that the
food served was unfit for tho use of
handwriting white msa and that no
improvement ia the grub waS visible
in spite Of repeated "kicks" 1t is
claimed that a certain employee Of
tho company gets handsome com
mission" from the host OF the board
ing house, and that it is in his
interest to see that the men take
their meals there, and that the food
served is as cheap as possible.
The Ia0n could not stand it any
longer, and they established a
boarding house OF their own as is
done on nearly all other plantations.
This independent and daring action
on the part of the men brought
down the wrath OF the high chiefs,
who fill the sugar barons' pockets
with golden dividends, and the men
were ordered to eat the bad grub
at the "officiar boarding house or
git" They got"
We have not had chance to hear
the version OF Mr.. AhrenS of this
affair, which to us who ara scquaint.
cd with plantation life, sounds very
plausible.
Mr.. Ahraus has always been con
sidered fair and reasonable en-
ployer, although he has the good
sense of "having no use for white
man" ON his plantation, 1t seems
somewhat peculiar to white" men
whose presence here as plantation
laborers is so ardently wished foi
by the plsRters' organ, that they are
not allowed to eat where they
please and what they please. II
sounds peculiar to American free
men, but then they ought to remem
Der that our plantations are mol
really intended to be worked by fire.,

If the men at Oahu Plantation

have been surprised by learning tn

plantation or kicking against tn

1t is commonly reported that the

In the name Of decency and in the

finance committees dare TO shield
the offenders and refuse to publish
