Throughout the afternoon, strik- ers posted themselves "in Rue Pére Froc, Route Costy, Rue Lafayette, and Rue Amiral Bayle and forced all coolie, pulling ricshes to join them. If the coolies failed to comply with their demand, they flattened the tyres, making it. im- possible for the ricshás to move
about freely.
Investigatione elicit the fact that
it was not the various ricksha com- panies who announced an increase in their hire charge, but contrac tors who rented the ricshes and,, in turn, leased them to the coolies. Daily hire charges, paid by the coolies to the men from whom they rented the ribas amounted to about 81 but the increase called for the payment of an extra 10 cents

Instigators Arrested...
The strikers declare that the French authorities did not sanction the increase in the hire charges and that way the reason why they re- frained from interfering in the strike.

Several instigators were, however, arrested by members of the Grea ter Shanghai Bureau of Public Safety not far from West Gate last Wednesday afternoon because officials of the Bureau feared that peace, and order. might be upset owing to the fact that the simple- minded ricsha coolies might easily $$ be led astray by the trouble-mak- The Public Safety Bureau

GROWTH
PROVES THIS ROUTE
BECAUSE Vancouver is nearer to seaports
of the Orient than any other developed. port on the Pacific Coast of North America, you save money in freight charges, interest and insurance on every shipment Via Vancouver." Time in transit is reduced and consignees served more efficiently.
At this growing seaport is every facility for the quick and efficient handling of cargoes. There are twenty-seven miles of land-locked harbour, thirteen miles of developed water- frontage, efficient terminal facilities and two transcontinental railways to carry your goods quickly to Canadian and American markets. Port authorities give shipmasters every co-operation. Proof of the economy of this route lies in the phenomenal growth of tonnage year by year through the Fort of Vancouver. Have you adopted this quicker, more efficient and more economical route?
