stopped eating everything which

but still my condition grew worse. and

catch the ear to get to the Oahu Rail

So said Supervisor J. c. Quinn yester-

stThese strikebreakers are backing
up the planters in more ways than one.
And when you come to consider that
these men are getting up at 2 O'Clock
every morning in order to get out in
the sugar cane fields at O'Clock and
that they do not reach home again un-
ill 7 and o'clock in the evening,
thereby giving about Gig lteen hours ev-
cry day to the opportunity to earn $50
for their days labor, they are entitled
to consideration. I trust that in the
reorganization after the strike these
men will be given responsible positions
around the plantation. ~
