the first reason why they must be got
rid of.
"These sycophants are in the habit
of informing the plantation managers
with the inner (reaD conditions among
us. They try to destroy anything that
is advantageous to Japanese. They are
the enemies of the laborers; they are
the traitors of the Japanese. This is
the second reason why they should be
chastised.
"These sycophants try to obstruct
the good understanding between the
planters and the laborers. They try to
| bring discord between the employers
and their employees. They try to mis-.
represent both the planters and the la
borers, in order to break the peace. The
sycophants are the enemies of the peace
of the plantations. The strikes in the
past were caused by the base and mali
cious tricks of these sycophants. This
is the third reason why they should be
exterminated.
In an article on March "a, the Jill
states:
"Morita of Waipahu, may he how
hard try to carry lantern for the Ha-
wall Shinpo meaning try to hold a
candle for the Shinpo and try to do
utmost, the laborers in plantations be.
1 ing all advocates of immediate increase
of wages there will be no customer for
his photograph business if he takes the
side of the Shinpo.'
Another editorial states:
"Those who obstruct the course of
higher wages, acting as the planters
dogs and spies, and who inform the
planters of anything in much exagger.
ated form, for their own selfish pur-
poses and in disregard of the interests
and rights of their countrymen, are

! On April 26, this appears, from Wal
pahu:
"From the beginning, Interpreter
ShimiZu and Photographer Morita, are
the generals of sycophants who tried to
creep into good graces of the planta,
tion manager with reference to the
higher wage question, and they are do

the japanese.
So
justly to suppress the head of those,
who support the higher wages, alleging
foolishly that the men receiving high
wages, and, who support the higher
wage question, are foolish; that If men
