, we shall also show you that other

came SO to do.
, We shall show you in this connec.

that they were Independent organiza.

~ you, veiieve, these were mere pre-.
fences. that all were working under
the domination and control Of the

WIN develop. as we believe, under the
rulings and instructions of the court
that we will not have to establish any
direct official connection between the
Higher Wage organization here and
the iii. or any direct or open official
connection between the Higher Wage
Association OF Honolulu and the other
Higher Wage organizations on the
other plantations, IL they are shown
to be acting with common purpose
In conjunction with each other. Il is
sufficient proof of a Joint understand. |

acting. though one set may be oper.
ating here and another set operating
there, and this on the ground that ,
they are all really working together

they were working for common pur.

Confuse Authorities.
We shall offer, we think. entirely Il
satisfactory proof that they were ali y
working together. that there was no II
collision between them, and that they I
avoided being openly connected with a
each other merely as a blind to help Ia
confuse the authorities and to block ,
them in checking up this organization Z
which we contend was lawless, and I
was practically establishing govern. s

contrary to the powers Of the lawful
government of this Territory, and I'm =
defiance of its laws. \
We shall show YOU that Mt EVA the I
local organization found a Japanese ID

get hold OF this Japanese laborer that I
continued at work and to bring him Z

We shall show you that this com. Il
