RANGOON DOCK STRIKE.
Burman Labourers' Grievances.
THE CHINA MAIL.
Rangoon, April 6, About 1,000 men, constituting all the Burmese stevedore dock labourers, struck work HOON after they went on duty on Aprilį 5 at 7 a.m. at the Rangoon wharves.
Leaders in the strike move- ment vigorously persuaded all hands to strike and a general walk-out followed.
It is believed that the Bur- mese labourers are dissatisfied with the proportion of work al-į lotted to them. Humfreds of
them waited in groups outside the jetties where they are em- ployed ready to return to work.
Information gathered from some of the workers shows that Burman and Indian dock fabour- ars have usually been working on a fifty-fifty basis; to wit, the former on unloading and the
| latter on loading. The Burmans,
it was stated, allege that they are not getting a proper propor- tion of the work.
Inactivity reigned at the quay- xide. Ships were awaiting to discharge cargo, cranes were idle and the whole place seemed life- less.
Police pickets were posted at all important junctions through- out the city to check any display of hooliganism.

Under the chairmanship of Mr. I. G. Lloyd, Financial Commis- sioner to the Government of Burma, a meeting was held in the office of the Chairman of the Port Commissioners. Several stevedores were present.

The dispute has arisen owing to a complaint on the part of the Burman shipping labourers that the agreement of last May has not been duly carried out and that some stevedores do not em- ploy Burman labourers in the agreed proportion.
