RESUSCITATION OF LOCAL

SOCIETY,

After a considerable lapse of time, the Anti-Muitsal Society, formed several years ago for the purpose of combating some, of the evils of the Chinese domestic ser- vice system in Hongkong, hold another general meeting at the Chinese Y.M.C.A. headquarters at Bridges Street on Saturday after- noon. many from attending, but there The rainy weather kopt were a sufficient number of the thousand odd members present for the purpose of through some pressing matters.

carrying A review of conditions since the local Ordinance came into force was given by the Chairman, who expressed dissatisfaction that much of its desired effectiveness had been lost through the apathy of those concerned, and he pro- posed a large committee of 37 with ample powers to go again into the subject and carry on with the actual work of the Society.

Dr. Yuen Shiu-chuen presided over the meeting, and supporting him were Mr. Ngan Kwan-yue (Hon. Chinese Secretary); Mr. C. G. Anderson (Hon. English Secre- tary); Mr. Lam Woo (Hon. " Treasurer); Mrs. Ma Ying-piu, a well-known local Christian worker, Mr. Mak Mui-sang, Mr. Hung To-fel, Mr. Wong Kam-ying, etc.

The Chairman in his opening address, after retracing the his- tory of the movement, said that an annual meeting should have been called according to the original regulations, but the period through which they had been pass- Ing was exceptional, and many of the thousand odd members of the Society had left Hongkong, and in other ways made the work of the The late L/C Richard was Hon.

Referring to the summons, C. D. 1. Murphy pressed for a heavy penalty, saying that the police ha received numerous complaints from the Military authorities with re- gard to places of this character. Besides, he said, action like the ac- cused's was decidedly unfair to the publicans, who Had to keep within certain hours under the terms of their licences. The business of these unlicensed places developed after the hour at which the publicans were required to close their doors.

A fine of $100 was imposed.
