CANTON POLITICS.

PROBABLE CHANGES IN POLICY.

IMPORTANT CONFERENCES,

QUESTION OF THE NEW ARMY

CHIEF,

[FROM OUR CHLYESE CORRESPONDENT.]

The Kuomintang in Canton appears to be changing its policy towards the workers whose united strength has for some time enabled them to defy local

authorities. The Provincial Kuomintang

Administration has now directed all local officials to keep the labour movement within the law and to stop the labour elements from interfering with revedie

-The Arsenaiz

The Kwangtung Arsenal at Shekcheng, near Canton, has not yet resumed opera tions since the "lock out" of the 2,000 workers. At first. it was thought that a batch of "men from Hanyang and, some of the more able workmen recruited from the boarding houses for the unemployed of the Strike Committee would be able to replace those dismissed, but opposi tion from the Mechanics Union, of which the former Arsenal workers are members, may delay the resumption of work.

Continuing, Mr. Wolfe said that the Savoy Hotel was taking over the whole of Messra, Lane, Crawford's old premises and would cut down the number of rooms in the King Edward Hotel, the Savoy having taken that part of the King Ed. ward, which was situated on the upper floors of Messrs. Lane, Crawford's.

The Hon. Colonial Secretary: We shall have two hotels next to one another; one entirely new.

Mr. Wolfe: Yes, but the Savby will be largely a residential ketel. There will be! no bar. It might happen that a gentle- men overicaded with alcohol would walk out of the King Edward and endeavour to get into the Savoy, but I do not anti- cipate any great trouble in that respect. Hr. Leong has appointed a Mr. Robert 31. McClymont as manager and I think he will be capable of dealing with obatre perous persons.

The licence was granted on trial.
