Strike's Origin

The jute strike originated with the weavers' demand for extra pay for extra hours' work on Saturdays owing to the introduction of the 64-hour week.

The millowners announced that they had decided to pay the weavers the old rate with bonus from July 23 and complained that the weavers, had been intimidated.

Mr. J. M. Hall appeared for the amah, whilst the mistress was re- presented by Mr. F. C. E. Rendall: The two men were not legally represented.

Detective Inspector W. Shannon said that the prosecution would be ready to proceed with the case in a few days' time. He thought that a date could be fixed, now. The case would probably take two or three hearings, and he was afraid that it would not be finished in time to go to the next Sessions.

His Worship accordingly fixed hearing to begin at 2.15 p.m., on August: 18.

Appeal for Freedom

The first accused, Tang Yee- hing, made an appeal to the Magistrate saying that he had a mother in the country who was over 70 years of age who might die if she heard that he was in Tail. In view of that he begged his Worship to release him!--

Mr. Hamilton: Where is your mother?-In Foochow Please re- lease me,

Magistrate: I am afraid that I can't release you because of your aged mother. You will have to stand your trial.
