Forced to Stop Work. The rooms where the University agricultural implements are kept are also locked up by the strikers, so that the manual workers, who do not belong to the Junior Staff Union, should not work. Some sixly or seventy of the labourers were thus forced to stop work on ac count of their being unable to get picks, shovels, whed-barrows, etc. The strike is the result of a lengthy series of demands made by the Junior Staff Union, cover an immense variety of points, involving Union control of the Uni versity, and after a two-days, at- tempt by the Canton Department of Labour to adjust matters the matter was dismissed by the lat- ter which found it impossible to, effect an amicable settlement.
Attitude of University.
These
In an interview with a repre- sentative of the Canton Gazette, Dr. 0. F. Wisner, acting president of the University, stated that he had no authoritiy to grant the demands, for granting would mean an altern- tion of the nature and charac- ter of the institution. Acceptance of such extraordinary demands rests with the Board of Trustees which is in New York, he further said.
The Lingham Chinese Staff Association, an organization of the Chinese teachers and clerical workers of the University, has issued a declaration criticising the demands of the Staff Union as being unwise. Acceptance of these de mands, stated the declaration, would impair the transference of the University to Chinese control, which is to take place on August 1 of this year.
