AGITATORS AT WORK IN SHANGHAI.
DEATH OF CHINESE HAWKER, ATTEMPTS TO HOLD TWO DEMONSTRATIONS.
Two demonstrations, which undoubted- ly would have caused a serious situation in the mills of Shanghai had they been Allowed to mature, were frustrated early yesterday morning by the police of Pootoo Road and Gordon Rond dis tricts, says the .-C. Daily News of August 14th.
Fortunately, through the Intelligence Department of the Municipal Police, it was learnt that agitators were planning the trouble, and reinforcements of police were scattered through the western mill districts and given instructions to take every precaution in breaking up all crowds of persons coming to work.
The trouble apparently started over the alleged murder of a Chinese of the bawter class, named Chen Ah-dang who was found dead in the hold of the Japanese str. Manti Maru pa August 3rd. However, it is believed, that "the | labour agitators took this as an excus to fament trouble, which they have been planning for a long time..
According to secret information "gained" by the Intelligence Department the de- monstrations were carefully planned by the agitators. One report which drifted into the police was that the demon- atrators were to march down Nanking Road in case they succeeded in demon- strating in the Western district..
THE USUAL WAR. CRIES. The first attempt to demonstrate was made at about 4.45 a.m. on a vacant lot 'near Soochow Creek, between Robinson Eoad and Penang Road. About 200 labourers, carrying banners and hand. bills, had congregated on the lot when the police arrived on the scene. The demonstrators were comparatively easily "Utspërsed." As they retreated, order the police advance, they dropped literatare and banners: Translations of these were made and found to contain such capres- sions as:-
Let us assault the Japanese and in- sist on justice," "Let us proceed to revenge the wrongs done Chen Ah-dong and demonstrate that the spirit produced hy the May 30th incident is still alive,"
Let us aid the workers of the Naigai Weta Kaisha mill No. 9 and demand that the lock-out be raised," "Let us make war on the Japanese imperialists and beat their running dogs to death." Let ua protest the unreasonable dismissals of workers from the Japanese mills," "Let us demand the freedom to hold meetings, organize unions and strike," "Long Tie the fight of the workers against Japanese oppression.":
The sprand attempt to demonstrate was made at 5.30 a.m. when about 2,000 Den and women on their way to work stopped at the instigation of agitators in the vicinity of Tonquin Road and Robinson Road.
que WELL-KNOWN LEADER ARRESTED. After considerable difficulty the police were able to break up the mob. One of the ringleaders named Yang Nyi, a well- known agitator, was arrested. He was recognized as one of the persons who has been fomenting the trouble in No. 9 mill of the Naigai Wata Kaisha.
