CONTENDING ELEMENTS.
There are among those now idle in
Honolulu a great many who are jump
ing at this chance to return to work,
and are glad of it, Then there is an
element Of the strikers who do not
wish to return TO the plantations where
they worked before for the reason that
they owe money 10 Japanese stores
in the neighborhod of those panta-
lions. although they are willing to
work for some other plantation. These
compose a dishonest crowd unwilling
to pay their just debts to tnerr own
countrymen and they are trying to in
fuence others still to remain out But
the back of the strike has been broken
and there is no more strength left
in the Higher Wage campaign, men
have been leaving the city camps for
days to go back to work on this ISL
and
Nothing will be done to change the
system of strikebreakers at present.
Every day about 1000 strikebreakers
are going to Aiea and Waipahu and
they will continue so to do until the
last struggling Higher Wage soldier
has laid down his striking arms and
taken up the implements of cane-cul-
ture.
SETTLED LAST NIGHT.
The Higher Wage Association last
evening conducted a series OF secret
meetings at which were discussed the
calling off of the strike.
The editorial department OF the Nip
pu Jill, the Japanese paper which has
all along been the organ of the strik-
ers, or rather of the Higher Wage AS
sociation, draws attention to the fact
that in their extra issued late last
night the resolution of the Higher
Wage Association was not that the
strikers necessarily return to the plan
tations, Aiea and Waipahu, which they
had left, but that all Japanese now on
strike should start to work again
wherever they can get work. 1t is,
nevertheless, calling off of the strike
and an order for the strikers to return
BEFORE THE SHEBA STABBING.
It is also stated in the Office of the
Nippu Jill that the beginning of deli
berations with view to calling the
strike off, occurred several days before
the stabbing of Editor Sheba of the
Hawaii Shinpo by y. Mori, and that
the assault on Sheba had nothing 20
do with bringing the leaders of the
Higher Wage Association to the de-
termination of ordering the strikers
back to their labor. But, inasmuch as
the final order was not given until
after the stabbing of Sheba, there are
those who choose to believe that the
stabbing of Sheba had much to do with
the conclusion of the leaders to declare
the strike at an end
CONSUL IS ROASTED.
In the resolutions passed last even
ing at the Higher Wage Association
meeting the Consul General, Uyeno, Is
bitterly attacked and it is declared
that the only way In which the Local
Japanese can receive any proper at
tention from the home government is
by communicating direct with Toxic
and overlooking Uyene as representa-
tive of Japan. AS a matter of fact
Uyeno, as far as the leaders of the
strike have been concerned, has beer
overlooked ever since Maxine faile;
to bring the consul to his way o.
thinking; since first Uyeno refused tt
take any hand in the matter beyonC
recommending that the strikers abid'
by the laws of the land and that the!
preserve the peace.
