three days for 29th, 20th and elst October -
$1,071.00 und earnings 1st December of $0,000 - $620.00 or $1,899.00 in all total $17,741.00 or a rate of $591.00 per diem. Taking half of this in terms of the Working Agreement we should receive a uadly rate $295.00 say $300 as compensation during November. Should the cessation of Traffic go on in December it would be fair to assume
that the figures would still increase. On the British Section last year due to natural devolupmont and Christaus Traffic, the increase over the November receipts was about 33% so that for every day of December we should claim $394.00 or say $400 par aiem.
26. In case it may be urged that the above figures of development are exaggerated and that the development was due to the oxodus from Canton your attention is drawn to
the xxxx increase af of the Outward Traffic for the wook
ending November 4th. This was Traffic to the Chinese
Section and not from Canton at all and the increase was
$1,946 less $1,257 - $609 rather more than 1%.
27. Thus we have arrived that the amount claimable in
the strict wording of the Working Agreement should be $205.00 per dion against which we urge that the cessation
of traffic came at an abnormal time when the line had had
no time for natural and fair development und accordingly
a truer and fairer figuro is represented by a claim of $300 a day, during November, and following further devol- opment $400 a day during December.
