Come to Town Today.
Agitator Maxine stated yesterday
that after the Iaborers are paid off at
Waipahu and Aiea they will march
into town with a band in the lead.
The Waipahu men viii march TO Aiea,
where they win be joined by the NAL
contents there, and the entire body of
strikers, said TO be between $500 and
1000 strong. will come to Honolulu in
a body. He states also that hundreds
Of Japanese from Honolulu will meet
them and give them q royal welcome
The strikers are to be provided with
flags and banners and at AaIa Park
will hold big meeting.
Strike Headquarters.
The strikers headquarters are ex-
pected to be in the Yamashiro Hotel,
on Beretania avenue, opposite Aala
Park. 4 large quantity of rice and
soy was on hand there yesterday to
provide for the arrival of hungry
men.
Strikers have been coming into town
in large numbers during the past
three days. At the plantations they
have been packing up 1t had been
hoped by many that when the plant
ers saw that they were in real earnest
about leaving that they would call the
strike off by acceding to the demands.
The Strikebreakers.
There is no end to the supply Of
strikebreakers. Yesterdays special
train to Waipahu and Aiea carried
about 100 men. The system Of taking
on men has been systematized. and
the men are ticketcd as they arrive at
the station long before the train is
ready TO start. 1t is a case of first
come, first served. BY this means
there is no half-riot as on the first
few days. The method of paying off
the laborers has also been reduced to
| a science. and in about fifteen min
| utes the entire body of men has re-
| ceived it's daily cash, an aggregate of
about $780, and moves into town
! with it.

Maxine and his crowd are making a
desperate effort to work up a big fund
| to keep the strikers and has practical

| and merchants. The merchants are
not all contributing to the fund, and
| the house servants are not so cheer
full about it as they were expected &c

they stand to lose considerable money
while the strike lasts, as the country
stores which obtain goods from then
will now have no patrons.
Waialua Demands.
The demands of the Waialua Japa
nese were presented to Manager Good
ale yesterday. They are couched il
somewhat the same terms as the de
mands made of the managers of Aiea
waipahu and Eva. The men, how
ever, remain at work.
