PROSECUTIONS CASE
AGAINST STRIKERS

DdlIy chronicle, Known as the planters
dog and pig. although japanese, yet
never do anything toward extending the
interest and privilege of Japanese, not
only so, but also if any other person
tries to do so, they are, to the contrary,
making all kinds of obstacles and him
ORANGES in order to prevent others from
doing so. Everybody can easily under
stand this circumstance by observing
that since the very first day the strike
commenced, these two papers have been
trying to break up the strike, and to
rescue the planters from the death posi-
ton even at the expense of committing
the japanese into death position.
Unfortunately, obstacles and him
ORANGES made by the papers of plant
ers' pig and dog, have succeeded to
some extent. AS announced by them
so loudly in their extra issue, unfor-
tunately we have produced traitors
from among the strikers now in the
city. The traitor is Kamimori Hichizo
(who was born at village of Ohama,
County of Tamana, Province of Kuma-
noto) otherwise Uemori Hichizo).
from Waipahu (joining with other
StllhCIoJ HC was ny
the articles of Hawaii Shinpo and the
Red paper, and having worked among
his fellow workers to return to work,
total number of fifty men went back
to Waipahu from this city On the night
of the Sth instant and entered room
SO. The next day and after that all
provisions for these fifty men were car
ried and furnished by the plantation
store, and they spent days without do
ing any work, until the day before
yesterday, from which date they start
ed to work Soon afterward, however,
all these fifty men who have been de-
luded by the traitor, Kamimori Hichizo,
began to repent, and they are contin
uously sneaking out from strictly
guarded camp through the cane fields
of dark nights.
Already three japanese have come to
Waipahu Higher Wage Association and
knelt down on the ground and asked
pardon for what they had done wrong.
They petitioned and promised with
tears that they woHld hereafter in any
event take the same course with the
other strikers, whether to death or life.
One of them came to the city yester-
day escorted by one of the officers of
Waipahu Higher Wage Association. 1t
was agreed to give him careful watch,
and if it is found out that he has really
repented the wrong he has done, then
we will give him pardon. According to
his statement, Kamimori Hichizo de-
luded all the others by telling them to
, depend upon the Red paper and Hawaii
| Shinpo, and said fifty men went to Wai-
pahu on the night of Sth under guild
ance of said Kamimori; those numbers
were as follows: s women, 4 girls, 80
men, and 5 boys.
And the above fifty men made follow
/ ing rules and covenants:
| l. Never to break this company.
: 2. To take certain steps and means
for the person who violated these rules
| and covenants.
! 8. To help one another when perse-
cuted by strikers or on any other oc-
| easion.
Thus among the fifty men there are
no little number who now very much
/ repent the big mistake they have com
mitted following the delusion of
HOkintama man. (Okintama man
means one who fatters planter or man
ager), and are coming back to the
| Higher Wage Association and by kneel-
! ing down on the ground and bowling are
asking pardon.
Planters dog and pig who have given
such painful taste to these fifty men.
! do they still try to entrap 10000 CT
our brethren into death positions for
+, the benefit of planters?
Bulls Affidavit.
/ Another affidavit attached to the mo-
ton is by Manager Bull of Oahu, as
| follows:
That he knows the contents of the
affidavits made herein this day by Shi-
mzu and Uyemore, employees of the
| Oahu Sugar Company; that after the
strike had been declared at Waipahu
by the Higher Wage Association lead
ers and their following, affiant found
! these two men, Shimizu and Uyemore,
very much overcome with fear, so much
so that they refused to remain at their
several duties or to continue to work,
alleging that if they did they were like
" to be murdered; that affiant believ-
| ing that these fears were well ground
ed and that their lives were in danger
but for no other reason than that they
had been faithful servants of the plan
tation aforesaid. and their services had
been recognized and rewarded, and fol
no other reason than that these two re
fused to have anything to do with the
Higher Wage Association, affiant be
lieving that they were likely to meet
with violence if they remained on the
plantation, told both of these men t.
leave the plantation and to hide in Ho
nolulu, where they were at liberty tt
remain, upon pay, until such time a:
the plantation could afford them proper
protection; that that time having come
through the aid of the police the two
men returned and have been at worl
since, but it is apparent to afiant tina
the small band of japanese that have
returned are working under constrain.
