lence. Under the law, the plenters, as
landlords, cannot order the japanese,
their tenants, out of the camps, with
out giving them due notice of ten days
to vacate the premises. They have
patiently waited for the planters to do
something towards increasing the
! wages, but nothing has been done.
The Blu let n, the Star and the Ad-
vertiser have been advocating to wait
until the proper time comes for the
planters to raise the wages of the Jap
anese, but, as nothing has been gained
by waiting any longer, the Japanese
struck.
II have advised the japanese to hold
, their peace. The idea Of getting the
police and the National Guard, under
Col. Jones, to go down to Aiea and
order the Japanese out Of the camps,
illegally, will not be tolerated by the
Japanese.
: The planters have legitimate steps
to proceed against them, and until
such proceeding has been instituted,
and supported by Court, the Japanese
will not give In to the threats of the
police and soldiers.
"The Sheriff had better go slow in
the matter or else his police force. and
even the soldiers, will have a hard time
In driving the Japanese out, without
