INJURIES JAPANESE
DEALERS DEPENDENT ON La
BORERS FOR TRADE
Twenty Men Are Arrested for Partici-
patton in the Recent fractional
Disturbance on the Eva
Plantation

HONOLULU, May SO.-An uncon-
firmed rumor that the great sugar
plantation strike had extended beyond
the island of Hawaii was circulated to-
day but was generally discredited.
Already the Japanese merchants who
depend to a large extent upon the Gus
tom of the sugar plantation laborers
are beginning to feel the pinch.
One has absconded, leaving behind
$4,000 I'm debts, and another has become
bankrupt
The authorities announce that there
will be a vigorous prosecution of the
strikers who engaged in fractional
fight on the Eva plantation. Twenty
have been arrested.
