GUILDS' STATEMENT ON NEGOTIATIONS.
THE CHINA MAIL
WHY THEY BROKE DOWN.
An official communication to "Shipping and Engineering" by Mr. W. E. Kirby, secretary, China Coast Officers' Guild, and Mr. J. Watson, secretary, Marine Engineers' Guild of China, gives fully the reasons for the break- down in the Shanghai conference last week, as briefly cabled by Reuter. The statement, which is dated August 11, reads:
"The public has been made aware through previous state- ments issued by these Guilds of the dispute which exists between the above Company and these Guilds on the interpretation and implication of an Agreement drawn up between both parties in May, 1916.
