Content: By 1865, many of the Chinese were leaving the plantations for other jobs. Hawaii's foreign minister, a sugar planter, wrote to an American  businessman in Japan seeking Japanese agricultural workers. On May 17, 1868, the Scioto sailed from Yokohama for Honolulu with 148 Japanese—141 men, six  women, and two children—aboard. These laborers included samurai,  cooks, sake brewers, potters, printers, tailors, wood workers, and one hairdresser. Plantation labor was harsh; the monthly wage was $4, of which the planters  withheld 50 percent. The ten-hour work days were hard on the soft hands of  potters, printers, and tailors. Forty of these first Japanese farm  laborers returned to Japan before completion of their three-year  contracts. Once back home, 39 of them signed a public statement charging  the planters with cruelty and breach of contract. On May 27, 1869, the Pacific Mail Company's China brought a party of samurai, farmers, tradesmen, and four women to San  Francisco.
