ing of or about. They have usually
been simple agricultural workers on a
very small scale, or some of them may
have been fishermen. Foreign methods,
foreign ways, foreign houses, even the
foreigner himself, are strange and mys-
terious to them.
When these immigrants arrive at
their destination on the plantations of
Hawaii, all things are strange to them.
Such training and experience as they
have had at home are of little
avail here Kind of work, climate,
food and the method of preparing
il, are alike mysterious. What Won
der, then, that at least IN the
beginning little troubles and mis-
understandings should have occurred.
The gratifying wonder is that they We're
so few and SO trivial. 1t speaks well
for the wonderful adaptability of these
simple people, and for the good sense
and consideration of their employers
that many more, and far graver diff
culties have not arisen. With one or
two notable exceptions, no serious as
perities of any kind have marred the
intercourse between Japan and THIS
Territory, in its mOnarchical, republic
an or territorial form. This happy con-
dition of affairs has been largely owing
TO the firm but conciliatory temper and
action of JapanS trained conSuls in Ha-
wall, as we'll as to the good sense and
considerate treatment of all questions
of difference.
The first immigrants, as is we'll
known, came here under contract, in
accordance with the labor convention
entered into by the parties of Japan
and Hawaii. 1t finally resulted in the
abandonment of the harSheSt features
of the contact SyStem-to-wit: the ar
rest of and Imprisonment of laborerS for
desertion of service. This feature was
voluntarily given up by the planters
because it is viewed with disapproba.
ton by the Japanese government, and
was disagreeable and distasteful TO the
planters themselves.
From the beginning of the incoming
OF the Japanese, honest efforts were
made to secure the best class of agri-
cultural laborers. They came in large
numbers, sometimes as many as 1900 in
one ship. Among these large numbers,
and in the hurry of one ships follow
ing another in rapid succession, some
times the incompetent, the vicious and
the lewd came along, smuggling them
selves in some way or other. This class
OF persons, however, has been compar-
atively few, and, in the main, the i'm
migrants have given great and deserv
ed satisfaction. Within the time since
the passage of the organic act, compar-
atively few laborers have come to the
islands, and many have gone away;
thus the balance being in favor of those
who return.
