RAILWAY STRIKE NOTICE GIVEN
London, To-day.
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE of the Associated Locomo-
tive Engineers and Firemen has decided to withdraw all labour on the four main line group railways on and from midnight on Saturday. The Society and the National Union -- of Railwaymen are claiming minimum pay of 50/- a week against the recent increase of the minimum to 45/-, be- yond which the railway companies maintain their resources do not allow them to go.
The National Union of Railway- men delegate conference decided not to call a strike at present, and decided to again submit the claim for a 50/- minimum to the national tribunal.
Though the Society has only 56,000 members, against the Union's 366,000, they are key men, and action by them would practically bring railways to a standstill.---Reuter.

H.K. PRECAUTION
RÉGISTER OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN
The following announcement
was
made over ZBW last night by the Postmaster General, Mr. E. I. Wynne- Jones:
"It is well known to everybody that the recent registration of British male subjects resident in the Colony was instituted largely because the present state of tension throughout the world has naturally, and obviously, led Gov- ernments and Authorities generally to make preparations to meet any emer- gency that might arise; and it is the duty of Governments and Authori- ties to come to the assistance of the public at large in various ways.
The official organ of the Danzig Government, the "Danzige Vorpos-
"It is now desired to obtain as com- ten," commenting on the impending plete a register as possible of the German-Russian non-aggression pact names and addresses of all British negotiations, stresses the effect this born women and children in the Co- sensational turn may have on thelony, i.e. women and children born. Danzig question.
The paper says that Berlin and Moscow, by the proposed non-aggres- sion pact, have placed the whole world in an awakward position.
Paris and London, after getting over the first shock, realise how future developments in Europe will be funda- mentally influenced by a political agreement between Germany and the Soviet Union, following an economic pact.
Germany and the Soviet-Union are about to start barter on a big scale and, consequently, peace must be con- cluded between the two countries also in the political sphere.-Trans-Ocean.

"This registration is precautionary, and does not indicate the expectation of an immediate emergency. Every- one will, however, agree that the times are such that every possible preparation should be made to meet every possible contingency.
ENTIRELY VOLUNTARY
"Although Registration is entirely voluntary, Government is confident that the co-operation of the public can be counted on in this, as in other ways.
"The information should be sent, as soon as possible, to the Postmaster General, G.P.O. Hong Kong in un-. stamped envelopes, marked at the bot- tom lefthand corner "Address Regis-

REGISTER ·
***Purpose of the proposed register it need hardly be said is to facilitate eva- cuation of women and children in the event of an emergency, just as is pro- posed for danger zones in England. It has nothing to do directly with recent developments either in the Far East or Europe. Consideration of plans for ouaguation, which have been under, study for some months, have now reached the stage where little further can usefully be done until the authorities know ex- actly how many persons are likely to be involved in any scheme, which would have to be prepared in detail well, in advance. of any poible contingency, Last night's announäement' was made th order that this information' might be• ¿váflable.'-
