BRITISH STILL
SHOOT CHINESE
AT SHANGHAI
Merchants BetrGying
National Interest

SHANGHAI, China, July 2o-The
strike pickets at British -wharves here
today were dispersed by British
marines firing five volIeys over the
heads Of great crowd who came to
the Wharf to demand the release Of
coolies held by the British and forced
to work.
Firing also broke out at Chengtufu,
where the British warship Teal op-
ened fire on Chinese troops after re-
scuing some beleaguered missionaries
and business people.
LILA Whitewash Party Coming.
Reports from London indicate that
British interests are going to get their
desire for another inquiry to Offset
the first ones report on Shanghai
massacres and will be able to white
wash the municipal council and its
British police troops. Strangely enuf,
the new proposed board of inquiry is
to contain an American, and English
man and a Chinese of bribeable ma
ture, but is not to contain any Japan
esq., 81
Separate negotiations are proceed
ing between committees of the i'm
perialists' foreign chamber of COM
merce and the Chinese chamber of
commerce. This is not looked upon
with any pleasure by the strikers. as
they rightly feel that the Chinese
capitalists are too much interested in
profits to be free from suspicion of
trading off the liberation movement
for their own gain, or to avoid their
present continuous losses.
Chinese Merchants Play Traitor Game.
Evidence of this is that the chief
stumbling block is not the demand Of
the Chinese merchants for all foreign
exploiters to get out, but the very
contrary, They are willing to let the
foreign imperialists stay if only the
Chinese business men and property
owners who pay 80 per cent of the
taxes raised by the municipal coun-
ell, are allowed nine representatives
on the council. The foreigners, true
to their habit of granting as little as
possible, are to allow only two repre-
sentatives of Chinese capital on the
council Where the workers come in
is not mentioned.
The amusing and even ridiculous
situation in which Shanghai now is as
result Of the denial that either
China or the diplomatic corps have
any power over the municipal coun-
Gil, continues.
Meanwhile the strike goes on, even
more bitterly. Two Chinese papeprs,
who were caught by the workers
printing the lying publicity put out by
the municipal council, were compelled
to pay the strike relief fund 500, O00

AFTER LONG TRIP
Scientist Carries Virus of Hog
Disease 5000 Miles.

Washington.-The story OF an East
African scientist, who journeyed 1000
miles to give the Department Of Agrf-
culture a sample of hog blood contain
ing the virus of a dread disease, only
to have il tossed into an incInerator,
was related by department officials.
A similar fate awaited the specimen
of Il virus of the foot-and-mouth dis
ease, brought by Il Swiss matchmaker
who desired to experiment with 1t In
the hope Of discovering a cure.
Success Of the bureau of animal In
dustry in combating hog cholera in this
country prompted the African scientist
to ask the bureau to experiment with
the virus he brought. He explained
to DR.. John r. Mohler, chief Of the
bureau, that the disease had caused
enormous fatalities among African
hogs and gave him a bottle filed with
the infected blood.
Doctor Mohler took the bottle,
stepped to an incinerator and threw it
into the flames.
The scientist was told that the
place to study the disease is East
Africa, not in this country, where es-
cape Of the virus might cause great
damage to the hog industry. The
same explanation was given to the
Swiss. Experts of the bureau, Doctor
Mohler said, soon will visit foreign
countries where the foot-and-mouth
disease Is prevalent to study 1t, 3d.
