HONGKONG, 28TH SEPTEMBER, 1908.

AFTER having beeu compelled to eritici-e this unfavourably, the police force of Colony during the past week, we are glad to fake the opportunity of complimenting thom, and the authorities generally, on the way in which an incipient strike among the local ricksha-coolies was dealt with .on Saturday. Early in the afternoon of that day the entire body of rieksha-pullers in Hongkong went on strike, by instructinus from their guild, owing apparently to certain penalties recently inflict upon offending ecolies, incluiling. no doubl, one case reported in our Police Court columns on Tuesday, when a coolie was ordered to pay compensation to his fare, whom by faulty steering he had thrown from his ricksba and badly injured. The strike caused a great deal of inconvenience all over the Colony, people desiring to get to cither end of the city having to walk or, in the ease of natives, to crowd into the gharries which turned out in extra force to take advantage of the absence of other vehicles. The whole passenger service on the lower levels was disorganised, while the pullers noisily debated the situation among them solvea. The authorities, however, very properly decided that the matter was not one to be dealt with in the usual mild way. and therefore, about 4 o'clock, the order was given to the strikers to return to work within three hours, under penalty of having all their licences cancelled.

had had a fight that laid to the cessation of traffe. But neither of those ruinoursuppears to have been true. The owners state that the coolios are not demanding more money. The real reasoE seems to be that the coolies had taken this means to protest against the increasing strict. ness with which the polics have beon enforcing the street regulations. Of late there have bee numerons prosecutions of ricksha-coolies for breaking the rules of the road and cansing general obstraction, refusing to abide at the recognised stances, and so on. That it was high time for strioter regulations to, ba enforced no one will dony. The congested condition of certain parts of the streets in the Central district through rickshas being allowed to aland in the side-chaunels had been a orging

It was because of the police ofercing the regulations relating to traffic, therefore, that the coolies went on strike. When the police heard of the state of matters orders were given for the numbers of all the riskahus lying idle

were summoned to the Central Station; and later all the strikers w ro sent for to atlund at the same pince. On their arrival they ware confronted by the Deputy Captain of Police, the Acting Registrar-General and the Inspector of Bicksbos, and were told that they would be allowed Chree hours in which to resumo work, failing which they would forfeit their licences. This was about four o'clock. The warning had an qamistakable effect on the recalcitrant pullers, for before the three hours' groes had elapsed rickshas were fairly Butherous and as the evening drew on he atreet traffic resumed its customary aspect. Fortunately the strike was unattended by say riot or disturban.co.
