THE NATIVE LABOUR QUESTION.¦ THE SHAREHOLDER AND THE

We have received from the Secretary of the Hongkong General Chamber of Comineres, with a

request for publication, the following letter. Mr. Lowe of the same time informs us that the Attorney-General has drafted a Bill to meet the cause of the complaint.

Hongkong, 5th June, 192 818-I beg to bring to the notion of your Chamber a matter which affects the commercial interests of Hongkong, vi, the growing ton- deney of Chinees in the service of foreigners to leave employment without nation and the inconvenience and loss to which employers are subject in consequence. And if your Chamber is of opinion that the evil is of sufficiout extent and importance to justify remedial measuros I beg to request that representations be made to Government with a view to legislation on the subject.

With regard to the extent of the evil I can of course speak with certainty only of those instances under my immediate untics, but from enquiries made of others I and the case of the Whart Co. is not singular. The average Chinaman entering foreign employ has sp parently no intention of giving fair service for fair pay. Ho takes employment us a matter of convenience; he intends to stay just as long as will onable him to learn a little.

A Chinaman rarely follows the practice of other nationalities by giving his employer an opportunity of remedying a grievance, so that as a rule the first indication of it is stoppage of work, and the employer is face to face with that most effectire weapon of theira-combina. tion—whilst the absence of legal protection from unjust combination, gives no alternative but to submit.
