It is also reported, from an official, source, that all the men em- ployed at Messrs.Bailey's dockyard at Hok Un are out to-day. The Colony's two big sugar refineries are said to be working as usual.
There has, apart from the re- ports mentioned above, been little if any increase during the past twenty-four hours in the numbers of those on strike. The emergency arrangements at the Post Office are working well, and the Sanitary De- partment has now organised an emergency service that will ensure a healthy city.
There is little movement on the part of strikers between here and Canton and there is nothing of more than ordinary interest to report.
