after a meeting this afternoon between the representatives of employers and workers, over which the Minister of the In- terior, M. Salengro, presided, it was stated that there was hope of an agreement being resched and work starting again to-

morrow.

The end of the strike of petrol sup pliers to-day resulted in an increase in street trame, but the taxi drivers may strike to-morrow.

It appears that taxi drivers, skop- walkera and some other such, are not included in the newly-signed Labour Charter, which only covers industries, It is therefore possible that such trades may strike order to secure their inclusion in the Charter.

The first official pronouncement upon the west situation was made by Marshal Chiang Kai-shek, the Central Government's actual leader, to-day.

He declared the Government would continue to adhere to its policy of safeguarding the nation's interests.

He admitted there had been differences between Nanking and Canton, but he believed the Kwangtung and Kwangsi leaders would not seize upon the Govern- ment's foreign policy as "an alibi in the starting of a civil war,
