Two separate meetings of Japanese
strikers were held on Waialua planta-
tion last night, at one of which some
eight hundred supported the PROPOSE
ton of returning to work and breaking
the strike as far as they are concerned,
while the larger crowd stood out for a
prolonged strike.
The meetings were orderly and last
ed for a considerable time. the various
phases of the situation being dealt
with by as many men who constitute
the leadership of the two ideas.
Fred Maxine, leader of the strike
campaign for higher wages, was pre-
sent at the larger meeting and empha-
tically urged the Japanese to continue
the strike and hold out until the plant
ers should meet their demands for
substantial increase in pay.
AFRAID OF MAJORITY.
From reports of witnesses of the
meetings it is evident that the eight
hundred who made up the smaller
meeting are not only willing, but are
anxious to return to work and would
do so at once except for the fear they
feel in regard to the manner in which
they might be treated by the larger
number who have announced their de-
termination to hold out against the
plantation interests.
Just what the eight hundred fear will
happen in the event of their returning
to the fields, is not expressed by them.
but it is understood that while the
japanese strikers are orderly so far as
their attitude toward the plantation
people and plantation property is con-
cerned, the element in power is inclIn-
ed TO prevent any opposition to its
wishes and, IL need be, the majority,
which in the Waialua case is opposed
to returning to work at present at
least, is likely to prevent the others
from returning to work or will make it
unpleasant for them if they do.
BLOWING HOT AND COLD
Maxine at one moment is declaring
that he does not care whether or not
