Had 1t not been for the sudden APP
pearance of Maxine at Waipahu on
Tuesday night the strikers living in
the village might have voted to re-
turn to work He held meeting of
his own and the gamblers scared the
other fellows.
However during the night many
Japanese who wanted to return to
work slipped back through the dark
lanes leading into the plantation
premises and Joined the nucleus Of
twenty-five who had taken up quar-
tiers in watanabe's house under the
protection of police guard. Yes
terday many more came in but less
than a hundred have returned in this
manner. while q large number OF
waipahu strikers who have been liv-
4 ing in the village since they were
raid off, have packed up and come
, TO town in the last twenty-four hours.
Efforts are being made by japanese
merchants of waipahu, to discontinue
the strike. A delegation called upon
Manager Bull yesterday afternoon
and talked the situation over, and
asked the privilege of interviewing
the returned strikers at Watanabe's
to devise ways and means for bring
ing others into the plantation.
What is wanted is leader" said
Manager Bull yesterday. "They are
at SKIES and sevens now and strong
leader would be able to break the
present uncertainties"
Left Kahuku for Kahana.
Last week the strikers at Kahuku
were paid off and orders were issued
by Manager Adams that all who were
not willing to return to work by tues
day of this week should leave the plan
tation premises. There was some mis-
understanding about the order, ap,
parently, for on Tuesday none left, but
+ they understood by evening that al
though they would be allowed to remain
ON the plantation overnight, they must
all be off the premises by last evening
Yesterday morning there was a great

ly all the 400 japanese laborers, and
& the women and children, were on the
way toward Kahana.

that Maxine gave orders that none OIL

of the strikers from Waipahu ana Area.
The plantation, however, will not
suffer. as there are many employees on
the estate of other nationalities. VI

Waipahu and Aiea plantations ar
still the storm centers, as Maxine e

effort. and he succeeded in bringin
about a disturbance which resulted i
the arrest of more than dozen of tn
strike leaders and agitators at Wa
