BLAME HIGHER WAGERs
FOR MAUI BURGLARY

Maui News.-What appeared to be
the finger of suspicion pointing to a
japanese by the name of Gomi in con
nection with the theft of money that
had been collected by a clerk Of the
Enos store is now pointed at number
of the Higher Wage sympathizers.
Some days before the theft of the
money strike sympathizer is said to
have approached Gomi with request
that he contribute money for the strik.
ers. Gomi is said to have refused and
he claims that threats were used
against him.
When the loss of the money became
known every effort was made to bring
the name of Gomi into the matter. The
sheriff's department and the county at.
torney investigated and Gomi was re.
leased.
1t is reported that some of the
Higher Wage sympathizers recently
prevented Gomi from getting better
position for the reason that he is OPP
posed to their scheme.
The sheriff is without clue as Il
who burglarized the room from which
the money was taken.
