LATEST CASE OF FRIGHTFULNESS,
HOW A CHINESE SEXTON - WAS INTIMIDATED..
The leaders of the anti-forsign move- ment in Canton will stop at nothing to gain their ends. Their latest action has been to intimidate the Chinese sexton engaged at the Cemetery in Honam is land. Unless be left his work, they threatened to dig up the dead.
Sir James Jamieson, the Consul. It is understood that the Mid Levels General at Canton, wrote to the Commisi Association will follow the same course, siener for Foreign Affairs protesting and it now remains for the Committee of

As you are aware there is on Honam island a cemetery for foreigners of all nationalities, where incidentally the lave 3:39 buried, Germaa "Consul-General which is in charge of a Chinese sexton and his family.
This morning a gang of intimidators approached the latter and stated that, unless he took his immediate departure, the graves would be dug up. Comment Six-It has been frequently stated on such threatened action, more especially! that the strike in 1922 was justiñable, and from u Chineso point of view, is super- it seems desirable to correct this impres-fucas sion to some extent.
The two European Shipping Com panies, the Indo-China and China Navi gation Co.-had, I understand, owing to the increased cost of living, voluntarily granted a substantial increase of pay, about 25 per rent., to the seamen in their employ about five months before the strike, and these seamen not only pro fessed themselves satisfied, but did not apparently know of the existence of the Seamen's Union until they were removed from their ships by intimidation, com- pelled to join the Union, and sent to Canton.
The Chinese Ship Owners had not given a corresponding increase, but neverthe Lless the same demands as in their case were made co the two European Com- panies who had played the game, viz., 30 per cent. increase all round, on then current rates, and eventually the whole centroversy was skilfully converted into an anti-Foreign agitation.
That a similar state, of things should occur again, is, I think, due to the good will shewn by the foreigners then, in recognition of the intimidation, which Was interpreted as weakness, and it seems essential that no such weakness" be shewa this time, and that those who misunderstand magnanimity be taught a lesson-Yours truly,

nothing to do with any organized attempt to break through. The fring appears to have been spasmodic and of short dura tion, according to our informant.
The story is giver for what it is worth- at any rate the fact that firing took place beart out the persistent reports of armed guards on the Chinese side of the border to prevent strikers zeturning to Hong- kong.

The continuation of the agitators' pre- sent attitude should militate against the sucess of any future attempt by Canton to disorganize labour in the New Territ- ories and Hongkong.
