Korn delt begoni et at hoc-

present dispute regarding Shameen centres on the promulgation egulations for the control of others than those entitled to live

hameen.

e has been a growing disregard of the status of Shameen, which

epidy coming to be considered a public area.

status of Shameen is that of a concession for residential and

ness purposes, and the right of landrenters to regulate traffic

ad out and therein is absolute, subject to the approval of the

rnments of the Concessional Countries.

trike is declared to be against the Regulations, particularly

requiring persons other than the residents (who are well

to the Police, and few in number) to be identifiable when

ing in and out of the gates when closed at night. Larcenies and

laries have shewn signs of increasing, and cases of non-obeyance

he Police not infrequent. The Regulations are designed to give

er control to the Police.

g to the publication of the Canton Government of official

espondence regarding the recent bomb outrage, the feelings of

people have been roused, and labour agitators have seized the

rtunity to precipitate a strike. Their attitude is that of

"out for a win", and the only points counted are those which

make the Foreigners "lose face". "Withdrawal of Regulations",

statement", "Payment of pay while on strike are treated

usly, while points affecting the servants who have unwillingly

ack" are given up almost without argument.

for the Delegates are employees, and 75% of those on strike are

llingly so.

At one point of the negotiations a settlement was cted, and victory flags were all prepared.

33 and boys, on departing, left everything in the best order

could, and explained they were forced to strike.

Delegates themselves stated that the Chinese of the Island

'forced to strike in sympathy.
