A solution to these difficulties seems

CLAIM JAPANESE ARE
 TREATED UNFAIRLY

Honolulu, June 20.--In an editorial appearing in today'S issue of The Nippu JiJi. the organ of the leaders of the Japanese strike movement. an ap- peal for interference in the Hawaiian strike situation Is made to the Japa- nese government. The article alleges that the Japanese have been accorded unfair treatment by the courts and by the Federal and territorial officers of the islands.
 The Jiji has supported the leaders of the higher wage movement ever since the strike of the Japanese sugar plan tation hands was called.
 The offices of the paper were search ed on June II and numerous papers were seized by the territorial authori- ties, which 1t is alleged contained evil dence of widespread conspiracy among the Japanese of the islands. r. Soga, editor of The Ji5i was indicted twice by the territorial grand jury following the seizure, once on a charge of conspiracy to incite riot and once on a charge of conspiracy to commit murder. He was released on furnish ing s2,5oo ball bonds to cover both indictments.
 The efforts of the Japanese to give the Hawaiian situation an internation- al appearance. are apparently concen- trating here, as evidenced by The Jijrs appeal to the Japanese government.
