THE RECENT CANTON STRIKE.

OPPOSITION TO CIVIL GOVERNOR.

A Hongkong man just back from Canton gave a China Mail reporter an account of the recent strike in Canton.

The trouble was caused through the oppositier to the Government of the local people due to the non- appointment of Wu Ting Fang as Civil Governor of Canton Wu Ting Fang is the popular choice of the people. Last Saturday there was a big procession of students who paraded the streets exhorting shop- keepers to close their doors until Wo Ting Tang is put into the Civil Goveror's chair. Many shops the procession had passed when they closed, some for the day, others th opened doors again.

The engineers struck with the result that Canton was without light. There was a big meeting on Tues- day. The students, M. P's and engineers turned out in force. After # while a number of soldiers from a distance (safe for the soldiers) opened fire on the meeting which then dis- persed in great disorder.
