The strikers have issued a long proclamation denouncing the tax farmers, alleging that their me thods of extorting taxes from the restaurants are worse than the plunderings of Communists and bandits. The declaration mentions that an increase in the taxes on' re- staurants will result in the in- creased cost of food sold in such establishments.

Witness went on to relate that two sampans containing a party of Revenue Officers came along- side, the torches boing all the while directed on the occupants of the motor-boat. A European Revenue Officer, who was one of the party, directed him to take the motor boat back to the Importa and Experts Office.

In reply to a question by the Magistrate, witness maintained that not one word of conversa- tion passed between the men who came over from the suspect sampan and the men who were already on the motor-boat.
