STRIKE OF WHEELBARROW
COOLIES AT SHANGHAI, Yesterday (April 2nd) the doubled tax on whoal-barrows came into force, the coolies being now required to pay 400 cash each per month instead of 200. Nearly all of them have strack against the additional impost; and early yesterday, some hundreds, without their barrows, assembled in the precincts of the Mixed Court, and sought the advice and protection of the Magistrate. Chen at onco hastened to the Central Police Station and reported the matter, but was of course told that the Police had no power to interfera; it was a Municipal order and must be carried out. It also appeared that nearly all the coolies were prepared with their ordinary tax of 200 cash each, which was all they had in their possession, and that although some of them were willing to pay the double tax, they were unable to do so for want of means. Others, again, evinced a determination to resist the increase, and

There seems no doubt that the late riot originated in the injudicious action of the toll-collector, Antoine.

One of the soldier, however, seems not to have known of the custom, and tendered his 4 cash. Not con- tent with what he might have regarded as windfall, the toll-collector required that one (which was small or broken) should be changed; and, when the man demurred, pulling ensued, and when the other soldier saw their comrade being pushed, they began pushing too.
