the British Imperialists openly interfered with the

watch-words in memory of our President posted up by our

workmen on board the Canton-Hong Kong steamer Fat Shan,

and assaulted and wounded our dear revolutionary work-

men, causing thereby great indignation among them.

The workmen on board, in view of these unreasonable

acts of interference, assault and wounding committed by

the British Imperialists went on strike on the same

day, and will fight until they ultimately gain the

victory. We are well aware that the British Imperial- ists who acted thus violently and unscrupulously,

really desired to make a clean sweep of us and make us

subject to their victimization and oppression, as though

we were fish or meat to be butchered. We should go on

with our boycott and carry out our original decision to boycott all steamers under the British flag thus dealing a fatal blow at the system of economic victimization practised by the British Imperialists, and at British Imperialism generally which is fast approaching its day

of doom. Our watch-words should be:-

To promote a General Union,

To promote a general boycott or British trade,

of

To boycott all steamers under the British flag,

To support the Nationalist Government,

To carry out the last will and testament of our

President.

Long live the Nationalist Government,

Long live our racial emancipation,

Long live the success of the workmen.
