TRADE OF KONGMOON SERIOUSLY AFFECTED CONFLICT BETWEEN RIVAL UNIONS.
FROM OCH CHINESE CORRESPONDENT]. Two parties on the directorate of the Sunning Railway, in the Szeyap Districts, with head offices ut Toyshan, each beinx supported by certain sections of the Kuo- mintang in Canton and labour unions and militarists, are now fighting for the control of the line, and, consequently, operation is being suspended.
Nominally Mr. Chan Yee Hee, the founder and managing director of the line, is still in charge, but he has been rendered impotent by friction among the directors and by the refusal of certain of the workmen to resume service unless their requests for higher wages and other privileges are granted. Taking advantage of the dispute, the military authorities of Toyshan are controlling the line, while the Ruomintang is considering taking over the property and operating it for six months. pending a settlement of the muddle.

As General Chiang Kai Shek and General Wang each have. their own fol. lowing in Whampoa it is very natural that reports and rumours such as these should lead to disturbances.
In the circumstances it is curious to note that the Cantom Gazette of Tuesday publishes a dispatch dealing with the capture of Kiukiang which purports to have been signed by General Chiang, The dispatch is sent to the Central Execu tive Committee of the Kuomintang and presumably was signed by General Chiang Ka Shek at Kaoan on November 8th. General Chiang reports that the whole of the Nanchang-Kiukiang railway is in his hands and that the situation in Kiungsi will be settled in a day or two.

The Rest were early aggressive, but their shooting was wild. A hot shot was stopped by Clark but he failed to hold the ball. The referee's whistle sounded for a goal. Clark saved from MeClinchy while at the other end Suen had Avery beaten, but the ball just missed..
A splendid effort by McClinchy put the Services farther ahead, Clark having little chance to save.

Day by day we are reminded in pub- lished messages from the Far East of antipathy displayed against foreigners by certain Chinese groups. Those of us who know something of the characteristics of this people realise that, were it not for exotic and malignant propaganda, there would be few untoward incidents to chronicle Chinese mentality naturally is toward peace and tolerance, for, "all" between the four seas are brethren."
A sidelight on this happier aspect of. our relationship with the Chinese is sup- plied by a postcard received from a mis- ionary friend this morning. It is dated from Yunnan-fu:---
