STRIKE NOT BROKEN
BUT PLAN TIERS FIRM
CONTINUED from rage one.I

ly. But today there is no more sign
of surrender on the part of the strik-
ers than there was yesterday when the
Kawailoa men returned to work on
Waialua plantation. This was good
sign, but the only sign.
Waialua, Eva and Kahuku all re-
port a reign of peace and idleness as
far as the general lot of Japanese
strikers are concerned Kawailoa men
are working without interference from
the main body of Waiaua Japanese
Aiea Waipahu and Eva strikebreak-
ers continue to be shipped eacn morn
ing from Honolulu in two trains total
ling over thirty cars The three plan
tations named are doing very well with
the strikebreakers and the plantation
interests are just as determined today
as they ever have been to win out
against the strikers.
ACCOMMODATION PROBLEM.
! 1t is true that the leaders of the
strikers have an appalling problem on
their hands in regard to possible action
of the Eva and Waialua strikers II
! these strikers refuse TO return to work
| by Monday they will have to be ac-
| commodated with food and lodging in
this city and the leaders don't want
! this. They would rather have the men
retur nto work, as outlined i'm yester-
! days star, and strike again i'm ten days
or so. and keep up system Of harrass-
ing the plantations by working about
ten days in the month and striking the
rest of the time, making just enough
money to keep body and soul together
and resting idle two-thirds of the time.
| This is the only method the strike lead
ers can think of to provide for all the
strikers, nspite ftheir roseate assur-
ances of coin on hand and to come.
If they can get the 1000 strikers at
present in town to scatter over the
other islands, on plantations or in
small camps among friends, then they
can provide for two or three thousand
more strikers coming into town.
WOMEN AND CHILDREN.
Among the Waialua and Eva plan
tation strikers are the women and chill
/ dren to be considered, more women and
children by several times than are now
among the strikers in this city. They
! cannot be accommodated in camps as
readily as can the men be cared for.
They are a serious hindrance to an
effective strike It be believed that
the leaders, for this and other reasons
mentioned, want to see the Waialua
and Eva men all return to work tenn
porarily at least
PLANTERS STILL IN SESSION.
Every day there are meetings in town
of plantation managers, agents and Of
= ficers. They are thoroughly in touch
: with all that is done by the strikers
and their leaders Their policy Of
standing pat has not once wavered.
- The policy of the strike leaders in the
main is the same as originally, except
; that unforeseen circumstances have
arisen in the strike becoming general
5 on this island instead of being confined
3 to Aiea and Kaipahu as first planned.
