It seems that the Kuomintang is con- centrating its whole strength on the de-

The rea- ou for the introduction of these by-laws, which were eventually passed into law after discussion, is that there is a great danger, in time of a cholera outbreak, of such foodstuffs exposed on market stalls and by street hawkers being contaminated fence of Canton City, and is giving up by handling and by fies.

THE LABOUR" WAR.

The "war" among the rival factions of workers in Canton which commenced with the street fighting of July 29th is being transferred to the Canton River.

On the afternoon of the 17th the "Reds" and the anti-Reds" employed on board the salt transporting janks in Cantoa Harbour began to quarrel over the collec tion of membership fees of their unico. There are two sets of officers and each group states that the other has not beer legally appointed. The dispute is still going on, but so far the fighters have only used fists and sticks, and no death has been reported.

Severn (Medical Officer of Health).

The PRESIDENT said he was able to pro- pose a motion without notice under a certain section of the Ordinance which' allowed that, provided two-thirds of the members present agreed, certain by-laws could be passed.

THE BY-LAWS...

The MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH Com mented that ice-cream particularly ap pealed to, children, and it was the prac tice of hawkers to wait outside schools and supply children with it. The ma- jority of the children were not old enough understand and appreciate the danger ef enting it.

The PRESIDENT' went on to explain that they wished to pass certain by-laws which the Medical Officer of Health conto sidered it desirable to have made law in view of the possibility of an outbreak of cholera. These by-laws, continued the President dealt with two items, whichkers only. in the opinion of the Medical Officer of Health, were most important.

WISE PRECAUTIONS.

Dr. Kocx remarked that although he agreed with all Dr. Masgowan had said, he thought such wide prohibition as he had suggested would be impracticable. He thought they would have to confine themselves to the things mentioned, un less there was the possibility of other foods being contaminated. It was very wise to take precautions, and perhaps they were lucky to have escaped any cases continued to remain clean and the supply of cholera in Hongkong. If the wate
