Meal Tickets and Passes.
Kinney took up the subject of the
meal tickets and of the passes which
it is claimed were issued to men desir-
ing to go from Honolulu to Waipahu.
| The witness said that each man had
to get ticket for each separate meal.
There were no "season tickets" The
ticket to allow man to go away had
nothing to do with meals. No go-away
tickets were issued at Waipahu.
"Under the ticket SYSTEM" said
Kinney, off a man were missing, it
could be noted at once, could it not3"
81 don t think they would know it. -
"Isn It it fact that if man were
missing once, it was noted and if he
were missing twice, search was made
for himi"
81 could not say
Kinney showed the witness letter
taken from the Jij office which had
been sent from the Waipahu Higher
Wage Office and asked him, "you wrote
that letter didn It you''
81 did not, F" replied Miauchi.
"Who did write it?"
"I don't know"
Kinney asked the witness if he did
not recognize the handwriting, but Mia
uchi said he did not. 1t certainly was
not that of any of the officers of the
Waipahu Higher Wage Association. The
letter told of the appointment of cap
tains of twenties, and contained the
statement that proper steps against
those who opposed the views of the
strikers would be taken. They should
be ready for the "hammer of iron and
rain of blood" Kinney made an effort
to get Miauchi to contradict himself
on the testimony he had previously Civ
en- regarding his part in the Waipahu
riot, but Miauchi stuck to his original
story. Lightfoot took him on redirect
examination and asked him the purpose
of the tickets. Miauchi replied that
some people who were not members of
the Higher Wage Association got into
the habit of going to the kitchen and
eating when they had no right there
/ and the tickets were issued for iden
tifcation.
