The Hawaiian gazette., 1909-06-01

afternoon from a visit to Koolau where
he arranged for lot of men to work
on the plantations. They are mainly
Hawaiians. While in town they will
be given lodgings in the Planters re.
ceiving shed near the Immigrant Sta
tion. At present Aiea is using 600
strikebreakers; Waipahu, $50 and Eva
$50. About Tuesday Waipahu will EN-
ploy about 500 men and there will be
an increase on the other plantations
during the week. EVA may use about
700. The total to work this week will
be 1900 per day. They are receiving
$1,000 per day, cash.
The Daily Rations.
A Japanese woman employed as n
domestic has told her employer that
she is contributing small bits of money
to help the strikers. She says that
the strikers are fed fairly well, but
when she finds they are not she takes
rice to them. This is indirect proof
that the agitators are not feeding the
men as well as the strikers wish.
From Hawaii comes the report that
married men are required to pay TWEEN
ty-fve cents each and single man IF
teen cents as contribution to the
strike fund.
Money from Hawaii.
"A general report about town was cir
culated yesterday that fund of $4,000
had arrived from Hawaii for the str k
ers here. 1t is enough to buy five days
rations.
Sheriff Jarrett has gone to Kahuku to
be present while the strikers are being
paid off and to take charge of the de,
tachment of ten special police officers
sent down on Wednesday. About 400
men were to be paid off yesterday after
noon.
Demands from Hawaii.
On Thursday last delegates from
plantations in Hilo district met at H'lo
and consulted with regard to the higher
wage matter. They sent letter to
w. o. Smith, secretary of the Planters
Association, asking for an increase of
general wages to 81 per day. There
were no threats of striking.
Pake Laundrymen Caught.
The Chinese laundrymen are in pill
kia over the Japanese strike, because
their ironers and washers have joined
the ranks of the strikebreakers. Some
of the laundrymen in making deliveries
yesterday announced that they would
be unable to call tomorrow for the
soiled linen, as they had no washers
A large number of the Chinese strike
breakers from Honolulu are now occu-
pying quarters on the plantations to
which they have been assigned and are
thus cutting out the double railroad ride
each day.
A Chinese Cheat.
Chief Leal has Chinese under az
rest at the police station charged with
gross cheat. The man initiated David
Noah in receiving his time ticket en-
fitting him to ride on the strike
breakers train and work in a sugar
field. The Chinaman loafed during
the day, and as his card was not punch
ed by a luna, he ingeniously made a
punch mark with his knife. 1t was a
clever imitation, but failed to pass mas
ter.
White Collar Strikebreakers.
A party of tourists returning to town
on Friday from Haleiwa on the Oahu
Railroad passed sugar field in which
number of Hawaiian strikebreakers
were at work. They were working all
right, but their garb was not the ia
miliar dungarees and bavelcks of the
Japanese laborers. One in particular
caught their notice. He was one of

trousers were of good quality, his shirt
was white and no wore n collari
