THREAT AGAINST WESTERN

One illustration, the Hongkong seamen's strike, will bear out my point. Last year 30,000 seamen, for the most part employed on British-owned ships at Hongkong, struck for higher wages. The shipowners did everything in their power to break the ranks of the seamen's union. The latter kept its men in line by threatening death to the family of any striker who deserted to the shipowners. Not a man left the union. The struggle dragged on for over two months, and finally the seamen began to straggle back to their homes in the interior, only to find that the Hong- kong authorities barred them from riding on the trains. Nothing daunted, the seamen set out 011 foot. But when they reached the boundary line Letween the British leasehold of Kowloon and China proper, they were confronted by British troops, who shot down those who attempt
ed to cross the border.
