PROSECUTIONS CASE
AGAINST STRIKERS


Waipahu with a small band of Japa.
nese who have left the strikers and
gone to work; that afliant is the Uye-
more referred to in an article appear
ing in the Nippu Jill on the 10th day
of June, 1909.
That afiiant, together with one Shi,
mizu, was intimidated and threatened
by the Higher Wage Association lead
ers and agents at Waipahu and became
afraid for his life and withdrew from
the plantation aforesaid and went to
Honolulu to get out of harm s way, and
did not return to the said plantation
until it became apparent that police
protection could be given to those re-
turning to work.
That atfiant after coming to Homo
lulu mingled with some of the Wal
pahu strikers with whom he was well
acquainted, and found that many OF
| them desired to return to work but
were afraid of violence being resorted
to against them if they attempted to
| do anything of the kind, to wit, vio-
/ lence at the hands of the Higher Wage
| Association leaders and their agents,
and affiant says now that all that is
/ OBTAINING large numbers of these men
is the fact that the Higher Wage AS.
ISOLATION leaders have the control over
i, these men and by intimidation and
coercion will not allow them to follow
their own wishes and will, but intend
to hold them under their control to do
their bidding and to remain out upon
a strike as long as the Higher Wage
Association leaders shall see fit to de-
clare and maintain strike.
Extracts from the Nippu Jill re.
ferring to the opposition papers and
opposition to the strike, are included,
as follows:
The Hawaii Shinpo and Hawaiian
Daily 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 hin.
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 tc
rescue the planters from the death posi-
tion even at the expense of committing
the japanese into death position.
Unfortunately, obstacles and hin
ORANGES made by the papers of plant
: ers' pig and dog, have succeeded tt
some extent. As announced by then
so loudly in their extra issue, unfor
tunately we have produced traitor
from among the strikers now in tn
, city. The traitor is Kamimori Hichizt
/ (who- was born at village of Ohama
: County of Tamana, Province of Kuma
g noto) otherwise Uemori Hichizo)
5 While he was in Honolulu after he cam
4 from Waipahu (joining with othe
s strikers) he was deluded by reading
D the articles of Hawaii Shinpo and tn
3 Red paper, and having worked amonI
/ his fellow workers to return to work
s a total number of fifty men went bacl
e to Waipahu from this city on the nigh
I of the Sth instant and entered room
!. SO. The next day and after that al
/. provisions for these fifty men were car
n ried and furnished by the plantatio
@ store, and they spent days without dc
ing any work, until the day befor
Z yesterday, from which date they start
ed to work. Soon afterward, however
Z all these fifty men who have been dc
v luded by the traitor, Kamimori HichizC
e began to repent, and they are contir
/. uously sneaking out from strictly
d guarded camp through the cane field
G of dark nights.

a pardon for what they mad done wronl
