HAVE THEIR TROUBLES, AND MEET TO DISCUSS,
The Hongkong Automobile AssoÓCIU. has issued a circuler calling a meet-" ing for the 25th, and outlining tentatively what the committes thinks the meeting should do. A letter to the China Mail from the Secretary says that it will be left to the members to decide" and that the committee will accept suggestions and criticisms. Cela va sans dire. The committee must do what the members (by majority vote) tell it to do, or resign. Incidentally, this Association should consider the point if it is expedient to have on its committee members who are professionally in- terested in the aŭtomobile trade.
The present bobbery is mostly about chauffeurs' wages. Those Shanghai | chauffeurs are said to be too sassy and independent and expensive.
The present suggestion is to classify chauffeurs, into first, seconds, and thirds, and pay them uniformly as. follows:
Th

T
First $55 to $60 per month. Second $45 $30 Third $30 $40 Messrs. J. McCubbin, C. Laurit- sen, F. Bevington, C. D. Lam- bert, and A. Henderson are anggested a5
sub-committee
to do the classifying.
The Association's lawyers have drafted a "model" agreement to use when hiring a chanfieur. We would like to tell them that in our opinion the last clause vitiates the whole. It
5475:
"If the chauffeur fails to perform any of the mentioned duties the 'em ployer shall be at liberty to terminate this agreement without notice."
Members are to be
requested to only employ" chauffeurs having ac A. A. certificate.
It should be an interesting meet-
ing.
