:: The Ricsha Mission and Strikes ::

Efforts is by teaching the men that
their only hope of recognition and
help lies in their industry and good
conduct" This phrase differs not
bit from the phrases used by the
preachers who are sent to various
strike centers in America to quell
and quiet the revolts which may there
arise. Industry and good conduct"
The church which capitalism has es-
tablished has gained for them all
that it cost in upkeep and many times
over and by means Of the richsa mis-
sion it aims to control the uprisings
of the burdened down coolies.
How the Mission Works.
In July, 1924, there was strike OF
ricsha coolies which was in small
part instigated by few small owners
which was supposed to have been on
small scale directed against the
new type of ricsha called the pedi-
cab which is more comfortable than
the ordinary ricsha. The idea was
to have the strike last for only a
small time. But now the coolies had
chance to demonstrate against their
own ills and the strike spread like
wildfre thru the city. The Ricsha
Mission got to work at once and the
result can be deduced from the follow
ing letter:
Shanghai Municipal Council
ga str. Police Force, ~
July. Fl, 1924.
George Matheson, Esq,
Hon. Director,
Mission to Ricsha Men.
Dear Mr.. Matheson,
1 wish to express my thanks to
you and your colleagues for assist
Ing the police in maintaining order
amongst the public ricsha pullers
during the recent strike engineered
by certain disgruntled owners OF
public ricshas Of poor standard.

THE servants came and went without making
any noise. Marguerite stuck candle here and
there, for the evening was already there with its
deep shadows :
Mrs Broidin knew that the spell of evening
would not be spoiled, but on the contrary, greatly
heightened thru mystical lighting. BY this time
the little flame of the perpetual light dominated
everything. y,@ se

cause in this way he could spoil more slices and
80 could eat them up.
But his suspicion was unfounded
John showed him that the slices were so thin
that it was impossible to smear butter on them.
The gooseliver was spread on thick.
"The guests don't want to eat bread, but goose
liver"
The taste Of the guests was exactly in harmony
with that of Nickles, for he also preferred goose
liver Unfortunately John did not spoil single
goose-liver sandwich.
And in the preparation of the cold refreshments
Nickles' aesthetic sense was considerably develop
ed The largest and incest cherries had to be pick
ed out cut up and put into the ice. And then
there were fragrant leaves And small orange
slices. ..sM.
Every drink was served in a special way.

The guests ate.
Their religious fervor had not in the least dimin

The goose-liver sandwiches enjoyed the greatest
popularity. Whereas the Swisscheese with the
lettuce leaves received less consideration. The
long haired poet with the eyes that roamed in the

He had an astonishingly good appetite.
At the end there we're only ice-cold drinks, and

Nobody wanted to eat what was left over.

OHANGHAI, China (By MaiD-The
~ living conditions of the ricsha
pullers of which there are apprOxim-
ately half a million in Shanghai are
too terrible for description. As one
who knows living conditions have eff
fects too threatening for existing cap
italist society so that in order to
suppress any mhrmurs Of "discon-
tent" without elevating their condi-
tions, capitalist society is forced in
this case to rely on and to upkeep
the Ricsha' Mission. ~ -
To quote from the Ricsha Missions
report, "Agitators are frequently at
work among the ricsha men and la
boring classes generally, instigating
strikes and labor troubles, The mis-
sion strenuously endeavors to eoun-
teract those pernicious efforts, teach
ing the men that their only hope of
recognition and hep lies in their In
dustry and good conduct"
BY the above we can see that not
only do the American capitalists use
the same phrase in describing the
causes Of strikes and the means of
breaking strikes but that in Shanghai
and in every capitalist country in the
world it is the same and the object
OF suppressing the uprisings Of an
Oppressed group or mass is attained
in the same manner. "The mission
strenuously endeavors to counterfeit
those pernicious efforts" This is q
rank outspoken statement that the
Ricsha Mission, an organization
whose only purpose is supposed &c
carry on evangelistic work among
the pullers, is working for the inter
ests OF the owners by, as they say
"endeavoring to counterfeit those per
nicious efforts" The way they en-
deavor to counterfeit those pernicioul

2 Ut is needless to repeat that the
is still the same and still
sayors of the certain sponsorityi Of

The efforts" of the Ricsha Mis-
sion have their effect not only on the
ricsha pullers, but also on the labor
ing classes in general who come into
contact with its long Shiny feelers.
This effect can best be judged by the
report. "In directing attention to the
great numbers of the laboring classes
coming directly under the moral In

John got the sandwiches ready. The perfect
skill with which he cut very thin slices of bread
bewildered Nickles
