STRIKE PLANNED To
CHARGE COMMISSION
ON HIGHER WAGES
NATTER OF SPECULATION WITH THE LEADERS AND CUES
T1oN OF woRKMENs RIGHrs-IF PLANTATIONS EACH
MAN RETURNING TO WORK SUPPOSED TO TWO
INCREASE

The Japanese employees of the sugar
plantations did not strike because they
were dissatisfied; they are not striking
because they believe they should re-
ceive higher wages as a matter of right.
TheJ are striking as a matter of specu-
lation.
It develops that the leaders of the
strikers have not been putting ques-
tion of workmen's rights" up to the
Japanese employees of the various Oahu
plantations, but have rather presented
a speculative business proposition to
them along these lines
IF you strike, the plantations will
have to pay you higher wages. We
have the plantations where we want
them. They can't get along without
you. If you go out, they can't get
men to take your places. They will
not let their crops rot; they will pay
your price. We will draw up your
demands and we guarante the results
If we succeed, and we are sure to sue
ceed, you, gentlemen, shall each hand
us over two-dollars for our trouble and
pains in securing higher wages for
you'
This is practically the arrangement
under which Maxine and his associates
are conducting the strikes, according
TO The declaration of numerous of those
associated with the strikers.
Maxine, himself, will not say what
his arrangements with the strikers
are, in fact he states that he has no
arrangement with them other than as
president of the Higher Wage Associa-
ton.
The average striker is not able 20
state what he is striking for beyond
the general assertion that he wants
better pay, and this Notwithstanding
whether he was receiving SIS or $36
per month on an average; but he is
aware of the fact that he is supposed
10 contribute to the strike fund if he
has not already given his little 81, $1.50
or so, according to his means, and,
though they may not all realize ii,
should they by any possibility go back

each be expected to dig up a commits
sion for having received such higher
wages.
Present prospects are, as far as the
Oahu island strikers are concerned,
that if they do go back to work on the
plantations they will find less pay COM
ing to them at the end of the first
month than they were receiving before,
for the expense of the strike to the
planters is likely to be made up in
this manner where it is possible; in
other words the strikers may have to
return to work for the wages the
plantations choose to pay them.
The situation on this island shows
