nolulu, but must ,ake up quarters some
where else on the island. 1t is known
that the Higher Wage Association has
its hands full with the augmented ranks
of the strikers from Waipahu and Aiea.
The plantation, however, will not
suffer, as there are many employees on
the estate of other nationalities OF
strikebseakers there is a plentiful sup
ply available from the Koolau side of
Oahu. Kahana, Punaluu, Laie and
many other towns can supply scores of
able-bodled Hawaiians willing and anx-
ious to earn $3.50 per day.
ALI Back at Waialua.
From Waialua plantation last even
ing came the report that large num-
Der of strikers came back to work yes
terday morning and that by this morn
ing nearly all of the 1400 employees
would be at their tasks. Most of the
men who came to work yesterday morn
ing were the millmen and the mill was
Immediately started and grinding went
on all day and last night. Everything
is quiet and orderly at Waialua.
Quiet at Eva.
The strike situation as far as Eva
plantation is concerned seems to be
an incident of the past. All the men
and women are back at work, the m Ii
is grinding, the steam plows are work
ing, the fields are being turned and
great loads of cane are coming in. There
is nothing in the daily life at Eva now
to Indicate a recent labor upheaval.
Waipahu and Aiea.
Waipahu and Aiea plantations are
still the storm centers, as Maxine ct
al. intended they should be. There is
no doubt but that the continuation
of the strike and the disturbances of
Tuesday are due entirely to Maxine
and Negoro. Maxine, on leaving town
Tuesday afternoon for Aiea and Wal
pahu announced he would make last
effort, and he succeeded in bringing
about a disturbance which resulted in
the arrest of more than a dozen of the
strike leaders and agitators at Wal
pahU.
Gamblers Under Ban.
Manager Bull is determined that from
now on the gambling loafers who reside
in Waipahu village must leave and he
laid the matter before High Sheriff
Henry and Chief of Detectives Leal
during the midnight inquiry at Wal
pahu plantation on Tuesday. Mr.. Bull
has felt that the gamblers have been
instrumental in creating disturbances
often among the japanese plantation
III nd on
pay days and terrorize them at will.
Acting on the information that they
have been melting the laborers through
out the strike, and after consultation
with Attorney w. A. Kinney, High
Sheriff Henry, with Chief Leal and
Deputy Sheriff Fernandez, visited sew
eral houses in the village shortly after
2 clock yesterday morning and arrest
ed several of the gamblers. One IS
Fuiikawa, well known to the police.
They were subjected to severe ex-
animation, and it is believed that from
now on the gamblers will be scarce
article around Waipahu.
Displayed Rare Discretion.
Pump Engineer Scoville and Police
Officer Wills of the Honolulu force dis
ing after Scoville had captured Jotaro,
the man who attempted to beat an
ex-striker who was returning to the
plantation. Wills Immediately placed
.Jotaro under arrest, and then the crowd
of Japanese became angry and surged
about the two men until they were
penned up. Every effort they made to
get out of the massed Gordon resulted
in a failure and they simply had to
await developments. While being grad
ually pressed back toward the strike
headquarters. Officer Wills drew his re-
volver and fred into the air to attract
the attention of Manager Bull and
Others at the plantation office. Mean
while plantation police officer SpillneI
who was on horseback attempted to
reach the two men. Not willing to ride
pellmell into the crowd and thus dis
able many, he attempted to force his
way gradually in. This caused the Jap'
to press Scoville and Wills all the more
and then with stones the Japs beat of
Spillner who had TO retire to the heaC
of the street. after which he forced
his way again almost to the door Of
the strike headquarters.
Held Their Prisoner.
Meanwhile Portuguese employe in
formed Mr.. Bull, who telephoned t.
town for police achievements, ant
then Mr.. Bull and other employees, VIII
are temporary special police officers
hurried to the scene. Spillner, who ha,
a terrific struggle with japanese year
ago on Laysan Island, did the best h
could to divert attention from Scovill
and Wills. The latter two were hamk
cred by their prisoner, whom they he'll
on to, although efforts were made t
snatch him away. Finally, when o.
ficer Wills said to the japanese tina
High Sheriff Henry would arrive pre-
emily, the crowd began to melt.
this Junethre Maxine was addressin
meeting nearby and some of ii
crowd went TO hear him, and then NJ
Bull and his assistants made their a.
pearance and the two men were re
.cued from their perilous position
Both displayed rare judgment in NJ
attempting to force their way out
to fire into the crowd or precipitate
general fraeas, Theirs was a waitiI
game, and it proved the best policy
Officer Wills was told by Japane
In the crowd that if he gave up t
prisoner he and Seoville could depa
in peace. "More better you 60 away,
said one japanese, "maybe, bimeb
you make (dead)."
