·OTTAM & CO. FOR PANAMA HATS.

The events which led to this great deadlock are as follows. About a fortnight ngo the car- penters at the Dock Co. in Henghon, close on 1,000 in number, struck work thereby setting the first example. Later the carpenters em- ployed in the shipbuilding yard of Messrs. Bailey & Murphy at Ilok Un followed, and finally a couple of days ago the strike became general and the entire body of shipwrights throughout Victoria and Kowloon threw down their tools. The demand is for a daily 15-cent increase of wages, the pre- sent rate of pay a day at the Docks being only 50 cents for ship carpenters, while Chinese employers give but ten cents less. The strikers, we understand, gave no notice of their purpose til they unanimously knocked off work, and notices posted up stating their demands bare no signature. The Carpenters' Guild is a very strong organisation, under some seven or eight headsmen who are believed to have organized the present trouble. They, however, disclaim
