The news was Immediately printed in
an extra issued by the Nippu Jiji, the
higher wage organ, and delivered
throughout the japanese colony by IL
O clock.
The extra states that the sessions
of the delegates of the Higher Wage
Associations from the other Islands,
and from plantations on this island,
began on July 81 and were concluded
at $3.50 last evening. The first portion
of the resolution is devoted to an at
tack upon Consul General Uyeno, the
signers of the resolution stating they
have no confidence in the Consul Cen
eral, and consequently have decided to
cable direct to the Foreign once at
Toxic of their feelings.
The Jill goes on to say that the
meeting expressed its gratitude Tor al
that has been done by the Higher Wage
Association and by the Jiji, and the
members expressed a hope that both the
association and the paper would con-
time their efforts in behalf OF higher
wages.
In the second part of the resolution,
there is sort of repetition OF the eX-
preston of gratitude toward the High
er Wage Association, particularly to-
ward those who form the headquarters
here in Honolulu; and to all the
branches and supporting associations on
the various plantations; also to the
proprietors of the lodging houses where
the strikers have been domiciled by the
association. Included in these bouquets
is an expression of gratitude to Attor-
new Lightfoot 'for whose zeal and at
tention to the business they beg to
offer their profound thanks. -
In Section 10 of a long resolution
covering a dozen sections, the meeting
recommends that the strikers, one and
all, go back to work. Section sets
forth the hope that the leaders and
the association may form some KIND OF
n society to look after their interests.
Number sets forth that those of the
strikers who are not able to resume
work ON account of illness, or women
who are in delicate health, will be
cared for by the Higher Wage Associa-
ton.
Number IL states that the associa'
ton will send full report to Japan
to every electoral district and to all
members of the Diet, giving in detail
the principles adopted by the Higher
Wage Association and giving an ac-
count of the whole movement.
The concluding paragraph states tha'
comics of the resolution are to be plac'
ed Immediately in the hands of the
strikers. This was done by distributing
the Jiji's extra among the men and
women last night.
Another meeting will be held at 2
O'Clock this afternoon when strikers
will be heard from and final wind'up
made of the whole business
1t is quite likely that one OF the
first, acts of the association Will be TO
terminate the soup kitchen maintained
on Aala Lane and this will mean an
exodus back to the plantations;
Afraid of Loss of Dignity.
