Fo to a Kuomintang meeting at Hankow.
The repressive measures promulgated by the
Canton Authorities, as set forth in enclosures Nos. 3 and
5, have not been received without protest by the labour
organizations in Canton. The Workers' Representatives
Conference, which claims to represent two hundred labour
unions, is reported to have sent a circular telegram of
protest to all branches of the Kuomintang accusing
General Li Chai-sum and the new Commissioner of Fublic
[Chinese character) Safety (General Chien Ta-chun) of counter-
revolutionary aims, and a definite trial of strength
between the Right and Left wings of the Kuomintang may
be impending. But, whatever the issue of this struggle,
it is now clear that no measures will be taken to curb
the activities of boycott organizations or to protect
British concerns, such as the Hong Kong, Canton & Macao
Steamboat Company, against the tyranny of labour unions.
The manner in which this tyranny is imposed is shem in
the accompanying report by the Captain Superintendent of
Enclo.No.9 Police of his observations on the occasion of his abortive
