NO BACK STUD-Saves time and temper The "SHEPHERD'Shirt

The whole point of the "no- back stud" idea is its utter simplicity. You simply whip the Shepherd Collar on, fasten the front stud, and that's all! Nothing to fix or arrange. The collar can never ride up- it is held firmly to the neckband all the way round. The Shep- "herd Shirt is actually as com- fortable as a tennis shirt, yet

as smart as the smartest shirt

Contact Between Chinese And European Industries

INTERESTING DELEGATES to the WEST

TO EXPLAIN CHINESE NEEDS AND

CONDITIONS

A very interesting passenger in the Conte Rosso, which ar rived here yesterday from the North, en route to Europe, is Mr. Ühing Talang Nign, B.S., Managing Director of the Soo Lung Cotton Spinning and Weaving Mills, Shangha!. Mr. Ching is to act as the Chinese Representative to the International Labour Conference at Geneva, being the delegate of the Chinese Cham- bars of Commerce and the Federation of Chinese Industries,, He is accompanied by his European' Advisor and do-representative, Mr. W. H. M. Taylor, Secretary to the Federation.

They are to attend this important Conference on China's be- half and will subsequently pay extended visits to the leading in- dustrial cities of Europe with a view to forming contacts between leading industrial. firms in Europe and Chins.

Mr. Taylor said to our represen- its formation and now we are re- tative: The idea is that Chiru presenting all the leading associa is at present going through a period of evolution and the Federation and all connected with it Bre doing their utmost to better labour and industrial conditions generally, with its own manufactures, China is, of course, pushing ahead

We have two principal objects in our mission abroad and they are (1) to represent the interests of Chinese labour conditions at the International Labour Conference and (2) to find out all that we can and to oppose any measure that might have a bad effect on Chinese labour. That is our business" at the! eight days conference at Geneva •

The conference being an Inter national Labour Conference, we want to be there on the spot and listen to the discussions on the various items on the agendi and we are there to put before the Con- ference the Chinese Labour poяi tion and anything that is brought up during the conference detri mental to Chinede labour, we hope to be able to correct,

In answer to a question by our representative, Mr. Taylor said that Geneva was quite well ncquainted with Chinese conditions and ready to accept modifications based on Far Eastern customs A year ago passed, certain which were none coming up for second reading and they were going to see that when the rules were passed that they did not contain Chinese anything detrimental to labour.

"What is the benefit to them? Do they get increase efficiency ? "

"The benefit lies in the fact that it reconciles capital and labour and eliminate strikes and labour trau bles. Things are improving as we go along. At the League of

Nation Conference that we are' go ing to have a definité agenda which affects international labour and not Chinese labour alone, but insofar as these measures affect Chinese labonr we are there to watch. As regards betterment of condition re garding Chinese employers and em- ployers, we settle these things ou the spot by monthly meeting.

Answering another, question, Mr. Taylor said that the Federation was supporting the eight-hour day. He went on to say: There is not a great amount of antagonism exist ing between the employer and the labourer. As regards any Bolshe vistic tendency, I think China is n field which affords very little op portunity for propaganda of that sort because so long he the Chi- nese labourer can earn a living and get his bowl of rice he has no en- mity of peoples in better condition. Therefore the labour market in China does not afford a good beld for "Red" propaganda Mr. Tay- lor in reply to a question agreed that the dan and family system was being applied to Chinese in- dustry, and answered very well. "It means," he said, "that a fac- tory is literally, a happy family."

Regarding the Federation's effort for Chinese labour, our representa tive asked: "Can you claim any Success 80 far?" "To answer
