Bango Tags: Hawai'i Plantation Pay System & History in the Old Days by Edwin L. Kaukali and Wayne A. Subica

This is a very interesting historical narrative history of how the sugar plantation workers got paid when they first came to Hawai'i. There are many names of immigrants and lunas (bosses) that worked for the sugar and pineapple industry, Workers were only known by a number rather than their names. They were given a Bango Tag, bango in Japanese means number.
