Strike-Pickets in Canten.

12. Once the strikers and others had gone up to Canton and the

interior districts, the Canton Authorities and the Strike Commit-

tee took steps to prevent their return to Hongkong. Men who at-

tempted to come back were flogged through the streets, or exposed

for hours in the sun. Some labourers attempted to board the

steamers for Hongkong by sampans, but the sampane were seized and

burnt, and their owners, whether men or women, severely beaten. Four innocent women lost their lives through attempting to cross the frontier at Shunchun into our territory with fruit and veget- ables: one was shot by the pickets, and the other three were drowned in the attempt to escape. These acts of terrorisation

have not been relaxed either in Canton or at Shumchun except in cases where the pickets have been bribed.

The Canton Authorities have declared, or connived at, a complete boycott against us, No British ships are allowed to be loaded or unloaded in Canton; ships of other nationalities carry- ing British goods are similarly boycotted; merchants are forbid- den to trade with us; and attempts have been made to destroy British goods in stock. In effect, Canton is waging & war again- st us, only with means other than guns and gas.
