JAPANESE PLANTATION LABOR
ERS MEET AT HONOLULU.
Basic Wage of Three Dollar a Day
and An Eight Hour Day
Form Keystone.
HONOLULU, Dec. 1. Upwards of
100 Japanese delegates from unions of
sugar plantation .laborors throughout
1ho Hawaiian Islands gathered here to
day with the avowed intention of de
manding increased wages.
For several weeks Japanesa orga
nizers have been preparing for the,
convent'on, actively assisted by the
Japanese Laborers' .Supporters assoc
iation. A recent convention tn llllo, said to
have represented the Japanese work
ers on the Island of Hawaii, formulat
ed specific demands which are expect
ed to bo the basis of the resolution
presented to the Honolulu gathering.
A basic wngo of $:i a day for men and
$2.2T for women and an eight-hour
day form the keystone of the program.
The Japanese assert that, although
the, plantations furnish them with
houses, fuel, water, light and medical
attention when 111, the present wage
scale does not permit them to keep"
pace with the rising living costs.
Under the system of pay now in
vogue a new hand receives approxi
mately S'lO for a 20-day month, with
a 01 per cent bonus, making the wage
approximately $n?.50 a month. The
contention of the planters is that,
with the expected rise in the price Af
sugar, the laborers will receive 121
per cent bonus, bringing the monthly
pay envelope up to approximately $(16,
Representatives of the Japanese de
clare they prefer to do away with the
bonus Bystom and establish a higher
basic scale.
Opposed to this 's the stand of the
planters that to insure the- perma
nency of labor and the bonus system
must remain. They object to havinjr,
men going and coming from the plan
tat ions and for that rcasrtn, tljcy as
sert, they established the rule that
to obtain a bonus a worker must be HO
(lays of the month on the job.
The Japanese langua.ge( press is
strongly supporting the demands of
Uielr countrymen and a stiff f'ght is
expected before the planters and work
ers come to a final agreement.
