& CO., LTD.
The last has not been heard of the It Cares While You Sleep,case before the Kowloon Magis trate which resulted in a woman, being fined for ill-treating and overworking her mui trai. The case raised quite as big an issue as that of domestic slavery in this Colony, namely the nature and the adminis tration of our Factory Laws. Ac- cording to Mr. H. R. BUTTERS, Of the Secretariat for Chinese Affairs, children under the age of fifteen are not allowed by law to work on
the evening or before seven in the morning. It transpired during the proceedings that the defendant's own daughter, who is younger than the girl concerned in this case, was working on the night shift, and Mr. | BUTTERS said that if that were the case the owner of the factory in question would be proaccuted. If there is any truth in the allegation we hope action will be taken. 'It is no doubt a very profitable factory, for while knitted goods are not cheap. to buy, the labour that makes them is rewarded at the rate of thirty- five cents for a 104-hour-night shift. Presumably the rate for day work is no higher. Three cents an hour is not i a heavy price to pay a person in charge of a machine, and we have no doubt of the great economic pros- perity of the enterprise.

If capitalists do not like such restrictions they can set up elsewhere in China-and pay the usual levies of a kind not imposed under British rule.
We hope the Government will show initiative in revising what may be called the Factory Code, and not the mulish spirit of its water-supply policy. If the Legislative Council does not take the first steps, it will have the humiliation of receiving orders to do what is obviously necessary, The stock argument against Western industrinism is that human happi- ness and health are sacrificed for profts Britain has too many enemies in the Far East to allow that kind of thing to be said with truth about Hong Kong.
