Your letter of today's date has been rozeivel, The

alternate formulas mentioned y you would sem to have little

chance of aceptance by the strikers whose lenders have seen

mounded on the matter.

I suggest the following for the Clause in questioni-

"rubllo employees will be reinstated and shøir wagas padd for the

pertail of the strike, reservation being made in the vean of the

poline on the question of disciplinary BonJuras #inh shall be

finally Aomlt with according to the disretion of the buncils".

I trust that this formula will prove satisfactory to

you and thus the strike which has bean infbrtunately prolonged.

on this joint will now be brought to a upsely termination.

There was, I believe, an unduratanding that "in ellat-

ing new poline the bunnila will bear in mind the advianbility

of exploring Iwangtung am in order to avoid the possiúility of

misunderstanding and friction likely to be onusal by joline who

đụ not speak the Tantonese diglent". I premme that this starán,

I have the honour to ba,

You: obedient Servant,

(M.) Ping-heung Foo.
