JAPANESE MASS MEETING BACKS
UP STRIKING 'FIELD LABORERS
Ewa Men Stop Work for a "Holiday"
Sheriff Warns Waipahu Men
Not to Molest Chinese.
(I'rom Saturday's Advertiser.)
A thousand Japanese, more or less, who crowded into the Asahi
Theater last night, adopted a mass meeting resolution proposed by
Makino and Negoro, which in substance was that the Japanese of
Honolulu were united in their support of the strikers and would remain
so until the strikers "finally won their victory."
The meeting was full of bombastic speech, intended to inflame
the minds of the auditors, and there were frequent thrusts not only
at the Japanese press which is not in line with the views of the agitators,
but at all three of the daily English newspapers. Among the
speakers were Messrs. Makino, Negoro and newspaper editors conducting
the strike agitation in their papers. Mr. Lightfoot, adviser
of the High Wagq Association, made a speech which was interpreted
into Japanese by Neeoro. He said:
Ughtfoot's Speech.
"I am not going to any anything to
you about the reasons for the strike.
You know tlio rcaBon why you struck
boiler Umn I. You know that for the
work you do In those hot cane fields,
In tho sweltering heat of tlio tropic
sun. you aro not getting money
enough. You know that on many of
tho plantations of the Hawaiian Islands
the stockholders arc getting all
tho way from 20 to 30 per cent, for
their Investments, which means thai
for overj' 9100 thy put In a year they
aro getting from $20 to $30 back again.
"Now If tho plantations wero not
making enormous sums of money, It
they wero losing money, I bellevo tho
Jupanese of the Territory would come
to tho help of tho planters and say,
'Wo will be willing to work for leas
wages until you mako money,' but
when Ihey are making millions upon
millions you should share some of
those profits.
"You know It Is your right and they
know tt Is your right. I believe thnt
tho Japanese of this Territory lovo to
do tho rlghtand when they find out
what the right Is, they will do It In
splto of everything.
"When, a few years ago, tho Japanese
thought It right to go to war with
Itussln, they did not stand and say,
"Eihall wo go to war?' but they went
nnrt they fought, although they lost
thousands of their citizens, yet they
fought to the bitter end. When every
one of you Is dead, your children and
grandchildren will suy this, 'My ancestors
fought at Pork Arthur and
they went up and took those terrible
guns and had to do It over the bodies
of their comrades by thousands.'
"And I believe, also, thnt your sons
and grandsons will point with prldo
to tho fact thnt their fathers and
grandfathers Inaugurated this Btrlko
for higher wages In the Territory of
Hawaii In tho year 1S09.
"Hut thnt Is not what I camo hero
to say to you tonight. I want to talk
to you for a few minutes, If Mr. Makino
will let me, about tho newspapers.
"Now I am not going to tell you
anything about my dear friends of tho
Hawaii Shlnpo, nor of tho Chronicle.

that they had long ears like tho other

but we hae a saying In England that
when Jlttlo boys go through a grave

they are golhg to get a licking, whistle

Ewa does on Strike.
Tho plantation laborers at Ewa
Btruck yesterday morning, every
on tho estate refusing to go to
work when the whistle blew. The htrlke.
was decided upon at a meeting held
Thursday night. The Japanese wero
moro considerate on Ewu. plantation
than at Waipahu and Alea, for they
finished up about all tho cane that was
on hand and the work at the mill.
Tho laborers get more money at Ewa
than at tho other two estates, and It
was hardly thought they would Join
tho strikers. Their act. Is due to sympathy
nnd to half a scoro of ngltators
who persisted In working the laborers
up to going out. The committee which
called upon Manager Ilenton was
courteous. With reference to the Ewa
strike, E. D, Tenney, president of
Castle & Cooke, agents, made tho following
statement yesterday morning:
"Last evening about 8 o'clock a number
of Japanese laborers of Ewa plantation
from the lower camp, near
held a meeting, and at 9
'o'clock or thereabouts marched to tho
main village of tho Japanese, near the
mill, where another meeting was held
to discuss labor matters In general
and whether or not to strike In particular'.
Tho meeting at tho mill village
numbered about S00 men. Theao
men decided that all Japanese should
not work today, Friday, nor tomorrow,
Saturday; that during that period
their demands on the management
would be formulated; that on Monday
they would bo presented to tho man.
ager; that on tho same day, Monday,
tho Japanese laborers would return to

manager,
rFrom Saturday's Advertiser.)
A meeting of the Hoard of Liquor
License Commissioners was held yesterday
afternoon in tho turono room
nt tho Capitol and expressions of opinion
heard from John 0. Woolloy, representing
the Anti-Saloon League nnd
Attorney K. C. Peters in tho behalf of
the Wholesale Liquor Dealers' Association
nnd It. J. Huchly of Pencock &
Co., Ltd.
Mr. Woolley and Attorney Peters
mado a number of suggestions to tho
membors of tho Board which they
thought would have a beneficial effect
upon tho regulation of the liquor traffic
on tho Island of, Oahu.
In tho course of his remarks Mr.
Woolley stated that the Board must
realize thnt thoy were dealing with a
dangerous business, an acknowledged
peril to tho public, nnd that thoy were
vested with largo powers of cxccutlvo
discretion in tho enforcement of tho
laws. Ho stated that he was opposed
to a wholesaler holding a retailer's license,
and that a man conducting a
retail saloon should give it his personal
attention, and that a wholesaler should
not conduct a strinc of saloons as a
sido issue. The second objection, voiced
by Jir. woolley, was mat no rccuiior
should have n retail license, and ho
added that he had been' informed that
liquor of very poor quality was being
placed on tno marKct in Honolulu. Jir.
Huchly denied that tho rectifiers hnd
any hand in tho manufacture of impure-
spirits, and stntcd that it was under
tho full control of tho officers of
tho 1'edcrnl Government.
Tho Sunday Privilego,
Mr. Woolley also stated that tho Sunday
privilego should bo either cntiTcly,
abrogated or greatly curtailed. He said
thnt ho was not "speaking ns a fanatical
temperance reformer" but insisted that
nt tho very least the cases in which
tho nrivileiro had been abused and tho
law flouted, should rccevo tho earnest
attention of tho commission, and the
penalties of revocation of license invoked
with merciless vigor when it
was found that tho law had been violated.
He said that the bona fide ineni
clause in tho law relating to the serving
of intoxicating liquors by restaurants
should receive moro attontion and
that tho "sandwich schemo was a
fareo and a disgrnce."
Emphatic objection was raised by
Mr. Woolley to tho grunting of a
to conduct a resort in proximity
to tho reservation at Leilehua. Ho
said that it was rumored that such nn
application would bo mado. Ho declared
that it was tho expressed com
mand of tho Congress or tlio united
States that liquor should not bb sold
upon tho reservations, and that in
grunting tho licenso tho Board of License
Commissioners would bo abetting
:m evasion of tho law promulgated
nt Washington.
Attorney Peters stated that Tho
Wholesale Liquor Dealers' Association
was anxious to cooperate with tlio
in tlio enforcement of the
law and that it was distinctly to their
advnntago to havo tho regulations applied
with energy and effect.
Following tho discussion the Hoard
went into exeeutivo session to consider
twenty-three applications for rcno'wals
of liquor licenses,
SMALL FIRE IN TRASH
'
BREAKS OUT AT THE
WAIPAHU SUGAR MILU
(From Monday's Advertiser.)
Firo broke out in a pilo of trash lying
against tho mill of tho Oahu (Waipahu)
plantation, and just outside of
the fire-room, at 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, but littlo damngo resulted,
Tho wind was blowing nwny from tho
mill nt tho tlmo and tho flames wero
therefore not carried into tho building.
fTho firo started while tho watchman
was absent for a short time. On his
return the flames wero seen and tho
alarm given. Manager Bull's present
.working force extinguished tho blaze.
Dozens of Japancso strikers stood about
but nono offered to assist.
Hundreds for Waipahu Today.
Waipahu plantation will havo several
hundred "strikebreakers" at work today,
including three or four hundred
from Honolulu nnd a couple of hundred
from down tho country. Tho "strikebreakers"
will includo a number of
Chinese.
, Uncertain at Ewa.
President Tenney of the Ewa plan
tation stated yesterday afternoon that
he was not suro whether tho strikers
would return to work today. It was
his understanding that tho majority of
tho Japanese really desiro to stick tol
their jobs, but an nctivo minority wlthl
agitators mny dccldo otherwise Mr.l
Tcnny stated olso that tho laborers had
submitted their request for higher
wages to tho manager.
These requests are similar to tho dc-
mands made by the Btrikers of Aiea I
Waipahu plnntntlons but tho items aro
couched in different Innguago and they I
"request," not "demand."
Don't Liko Outsiders.
Sheriff Jnrrett reports that on tho
day of his visit to Ewa plantation
(Saturday), he learned that whenever
Wnlpahu or Alea strikers camo to tho
Ewa meetings the latter are declared
off. When tho outsiders leave, tho
'meetings aro resumed. This seems to
Indicate a lack of cohesion In tho
strike, and to the Sheriff it Indicated
also that the Ewa men would keep to
their promise and return to work this
morning.
The Fires at Ewa.
The Sheriff says that the two flres
started at Ewa look like the work of
some outsider. The fires were started
along the roadside, and while they
may haVe had their beginning from
,a carelessly-thrown match or lighted
cigarette, yet the significance lay In
the fact that fires of this sort are of
rare occurrence.
