This arrangement appears to be as
effective as 1t is simple, and possesses
features which will doubtless appeal
to the fair sex. The affair is amply
explained by the accompanying pic

about some things, but he realized In

HONOLULU, July %. = Thirteen
hundred japanese laborers on the
Oahu Sugar Companys plantation at
Waipahu have gone on strike. They
first demanded the discharge of the

made other demands. Many of the
striking laborers have profit-sharing
contracts.

count of the ravages of the leaf hop
per and the workmen want their con-
tracts annulled and they demand reg
ular wages. The managers refused to
accede to this proposal and began
paying off the strikers. Police from
