Tientsin, Jan. 30. Tlic Tangshan Colliery workers have joined the strikers of the other Kallan Administration collieries. The Kailan mines have boon brought to'a standstill.

The strikers threaten to destroy the track of the Peking-Shanhai- kwan Railway to prevent the trans port of Kailan coal to Peking, if the Administration refuses to accept their terms.

The threat follows a statement by a spokesman of the Kaflan Ad- ministration to the effect that the strike would cause no loss to the Company which had experienced difficulty in disposing of their over- produced stock. This problem would be automatically settled if the miners declined to work. It would take some time to work off the surplus stocks-Central News.
