INTERESTING CASE TO-DAY. That the present strike of paint- facrapers has been influenced by a new faster other than that rela- tive to the dispute over wages in revealed by a case opened before Mr. R. E. Lladsall at the Magis tracy this morning, when a Chi- nese mamber of the Paint- scrapers Guild was charged with an attempt to intimidate anotheri worker at Hungbom.

Mr. Lea Longinotto appeared for the defence.

The result of this would be that in the end they would secure control of the supply of labour and thus be able to contract work for others. and dictate their own terms of pay.

Now the disputes were generally concern- ed with the employment of labour and the attempt to secure control of the labour market. Those men were organized in [corporation or guild. The chief Association had its head- quarters at Saiwanho, while at Hooghom there was a branch of the same organization. The defendant was the head of this branch association in Hungbam. He was formerly employed by one of the principal witnesses,
