to the local Commissioner and through him to the Inspector General :---

A further development in coacce- tion with the agitation of the Outdoor Staff of the Chinese Maritime Cus- toms, occured on March 29, when Mr. H. Wyatt, a Chief Examiner and Chairman of the meeting at which it was decided to form a guild was given the alternative of resigning his position in the Service or of being dismissed. This action on the part of the Inspector-General was not alto- gether unanticipated and in the eyes of the men formed a natural sorollary to the address of Sunday afternoon at the Customs Club. Mr. Wyatt in addition to presiding at most, if not all, of the meetings held by the out door staff, was one of the deputation of Ave which last year visited the Inspector-General in Peking. He is a men having had 16 years, or so, in the Service in which he was promoted last year to the position of a Chef Examiner. Whether any others pro- minear in the movement will meet with a like fate is not at present clear. though Mr. Wyatt states that he was officially approached for the names of the men who had signed on as wishful of joining the guild: "I, of course; refused point blank to give away any names under any consideration added M. Wyau, “I expect this has had a lot to do with my dismissa!."

A LONGSTANDING GRIEVANCES

2. Superannidation fund: 10 per cent. of pay contributed by members to which Inspector-General is to add 20 per cent,"

INSPECTOR-GENERA” SYMPATHETIC.

Matters did not rest there, for later in the year a petition, went forward asking the Inspector-General do re- ceive a depuration representing the Outdoor Staff, a course to which he consented, stipulating that the deputa- tion should consist of five men, two from Shanghai and one each from Hankow, "Canton and Tientsin. These met the Inspector-Generat on October 29 and 30 in Pelting and laid their case before him, a case which contain-
