CHINESE LABOR STRIKES
FOR EIGHT HOUR DAY

SHANGHAI, China, July 21.-(ByI
Charles Edward Hogue, L. P. Staff
Correspondent.)- Paid agitators who
have set the rest of the -vnrld on end
through labor disturbances have
awakened sleeping China and are to-
day engaged in organizing what they
hope Will be counterpart of the
American Federation of Labor.
Twenty thousand workmen are on
strike in Canton today and nearly that
many have quit their jobs in Shang-
hal.
Peking and Tientsin are to be the
next points of attack AMI after that
If the preliminary movements against
the employer in the larger cities arc
successful, the rlan is TO extend thf
propaganit to the smaller co,nmuni
ties thron5 lout The county.
That foreign methods have been
adopted by the Chinese leaders is
evident and there is a strong suspi.
eion among the authorities that a for
eigner is secretly directing the cam
paign. But thus far all efforts to dis
cover the identity OF the Man DE
hind the Throne" have been Unavail-
ing.
Laundry workers who commit NAV
hem on soiled garments by processing
them through a course of rock pound
ing in muddy water at three cOppers
per garment were the first of the To-
cal workers to rise in their wrath and
demand better treatment from theii
bosses. An eighth day, double
pay for overtime. halliday holiday on
Sunday and full pay for national md
labor holidays were incorporated in
their demands. The laundry owners
were aghast. They had never oeen
up against a proposition like that be-
fore. Seldom had their menials dar-
ed to even raise their eyes to the
higher-up, let alone demand or even
beg better pay or working conditi-
ons.
III can't be done" they walled.
But it will be-" grimly retorted
the aroused employees. Whereupon
they staged a parade demonstration
and succeeded in calling out the car
penters. the masons, the cotton spin
ners and the sawyers Daily others
OF the smaller craft are joining the
ranks and what threatens TO become
Q general strike is becoming more
and more probable.

After the water and huge masses Of

Nearly an the automobiles on the

several weeks before the street rail

their cars In operation.
This condition, in an industrial city

While the fire department was under
discussion, the matter of reduced

square. It is understood that only
districts petitioning for the improve
ment will be considered. AS the dis
tricts which are now under con-
struction are to be completed BY
August l, it is honed that the dis
tricts desiring the improvement will
be ready by the time the present con
tract is completed, as the cost will
not be as much as If the contractor
had to bring in all his machinery
and equipment, but will be in po-
sition to continue with the equip
ment now in use.
If any new districts are to be taken
up Immediately after August /, it
win be necessary to begin action at
an early date, as there is a good deal
of red tape that must precede the
actual work.
