Organizing the Chinese Workers

as a sort of welfare worker. All trade disputes
went through her hands and in the opinion of the
workers she looked after the employers interests
and not theirs. She became official safety-yalve
instead of a workers organic Sra much safer per-
son. When l met her she appeared to be in very
prosperous circumstances Her vote face had rather
disheartened the silk workers in Shanghai and dis
couraged any further attempts at organization.
There were, however. in June 1926 number of
strikes, one of them affecting as many as 80 silk
filatureS in which 13400 workers involved,
which indicate considerable solidarity among the
women workers. Two of the strikes, according to
the reports which have seen complained of the
formation of a new Silk Filature Workers Union,
charged the union with being in conspiracy with
the owners to delay the payment of the workers
wages and demanded the closing down of the union
which was done by order of the chief of the Woo
sung and Shanghai Constabulary. All this is diff
fcult to understand unless the union was held
by the workers to be bogus organization set up
by the employers, in order to forestall any other
movement Quite recently in Shanghai women
social workers have gone to reside in the chief
silk filature area, in order to get into touch with
the workers, study their needs and help them
to improve their conditions
The majority of the silk fature workers in China
appear to be employed in the neighborhood of Cam
ton told that out of the 100000 silk workers
in factories in the whole country there 100000
workers, almost entirely women and children,
ployed in 40 silk fatures at Shundal, about four
hours by boat from Canton up the Pearl River
They have organization at ALL although their
conditions of work appear to be just bad else
where in China
/ asked the secretary of the All China Labor Fed
GRAFTON at Canton why attempt is made to
ganize the in the silk filatures both at Can
ton and Shanghai-especially at Canton where trade
unionism is legalized He replied that 95 per cent
of the silk workers were women and therefore very
difficult to organize He also said that the bad con-
dtions partly due to japanese competition and
partly to the failure of the silkworms in the last
two years.
Such organization of is done appears
to be largely political lines In the province of
Kwangtung where Canton is situated, considerable
efforts have been made in this direction during the
past year more. There three bodies, the Wo-
mems Freedom League, the League of Women's
Rights and the Organization of Women Revolution
aries. discussed these with a Chinese who
working in the office of the Women's Freedom
League, who spoke to in French I give the
English equivalents of the titles as best | can.
