A draft of å resolution protesting against the British massacre of Chinese in the British Concession at Haakow" was communicated to‡ Japan, Hankow, and other places.
A point raised at yesterday's hearing was whether an illegal act by a Society or Guild, such as the supporting of the strike against Hong Kong and the devoting of Guild funds to aiding members to leave Hong Kong for Canton, con- stitutes it an illegal society and nullifies its claims against members, Mr. F. H. Loseby is for the plain tiffs (the present Chairman, Trea aurer and four members of the Guild) and Mr. D. McCallum is for the defendant (a foreman),
It is alleged that the defendant, has performed Sfteen jobs for. which he has paid no commission to the Guild.
