WORK. AS Tor Alea and Waipahu, the
plantations we originally planned to
form the strike, those men will stay
out year, if necessary, and this is no
bluff. Managers Renton, Goodafe,
Adams and Myers have always treated
the workers well and I'm sorry to see
Eva, Waialua, Kahuku and Waanae

JAPANESE MERCHANTS.
The strike leaders declare that the
attitude of the Japanese Merchants
Association counts for nothing as far
as their campaign is concerned. and
that the association is not by any
means representative, being made I'D
of very few Japanese merchants
whose business interests are largely
identified with those of the sugar plan
tation interests.
JARRETT BACK AGAIN.
Sheriff Jarrett is in the city today.
having returned this morning from
Kahuku and Waialua at which planta-
tions he reports everything to be quiet.
There appears to be no sign of trouble.

MAKING AND THE CONSUL.
His Imperial Japanese Majesty's Con
SUI Uyeno has issued bulletin calling
o nthe'strikers not to do anything rash
and not to be swayed by false pro-
misses. Maxine, however, and his fol-
! lowers, continue to be frequent callers
on the strikers not to do anything rash
( the matter of higher wages is a mat
ter between the Japanese laborers and
the plantations. Beyond this there is
nothing said, nothing definite.
This is what the consul says:
The fact that the Japanese resi-
/ dent in Hawaii since their arrival have
been engaged in various lines of bust
ness and trade beneficial to the Japa-
inese and American people, is a cause
of much qualification to me. 1t is in
accordance with my purpose to perpet-
uate the good relations between the
two countries.
! Owing to the higher wage ques-
tion, the laborers on the plantations
struck and left their homes, much to
my regret, The high wage problem
is a matter that should be solved be-
tween the laborers and planters. This
problem, however, may become so seri-
Gus as to affect the prevailing good
will if the Japanese laborers should not
maintain the most reserved attitude,
and engage peacefully in their WORN,
disregarding unfounded rumors and
avoiding careless and rash actions"
PLANTATIONS ANSWER.
Yesterday Managers Renton and
Goodale of Eva and Waiaua respec-
I lively, sent replies to the demands OF
the strikers to the effect that said de-
mands could not be granted
EVA STRlKEBREAKERS.
Nearly four hundred strikebreakers
were sent to Eva this morning. This
is the first lot of strillebreakers to go
from the city to EVA and the total
number of strikebreakers leaving town
this morning was in the neighborhood
of fifteen hundred.
CONSUL TALKS FOR. PEACE.
The Japanese Consul has toured the
plantations, talked to the strikers on
each and has advised peace above all
things. AT Kahuku he endeavored
to show the strikers that they were
wrong in asking for the discharge of
the four Japanese lunas who had faith
fully worked their way to the top
The strikers object to the lunas be-
cause they are popular with the plan
tation officials.
