There are high hopes that work will be resumed on Monday but it all depends upon what the seamen who have gone to Canton and who form a big inajority of the strikers have to say about the proclamation that was issued yesterday afternoon by the Secretary for Chuese Affairs (the Hon. Mr. E. R. Hallifax]

A tracalation of the proclamation follows:-
