Namtau is a small port, in Chinese territory, just beyond Deep Bay. At least one big steam launch makes the journey to and fro each day. Fish and other föcdstuffs, and passengers come to Hongkong from Namtau. With other routes temporarily closed up it was only natural that Hong- long strikers should make their way, overland or by native river craft, to Namtau to return to work. As soon as Canton heard of the port they opened up a strikers' branch office there. Pickets were sent out and soon Chan Ping-sang was the No., L

Then the restric- tions seem to relax, According to the vernaculur papers Namtau's strike office is now letting cargo and travellers through, on a con- sideration. Each person leaving Namtuu for Hongkong, so the report goes, must pay a cash deposit of $100 which will be forfeited on failure to return the same day. In other words, those wishing to return to their old positions must pay $100 for the privilege.
