LABOR UNIONISM GAINS AS CHINA MAKESPRO9RESS One Hundred Thousand Workers in One District —More Joining. Bn United Press PEKIN, Jan. 14.-*—China’s rapid progress from the handicraft, to the industrial age is being accomp'anied, in the great industrial districts of central China, fcy a sudden trend toward labor unionism, which observers find highly important. Statistics compiled by the Chinese government bureau of economic information showed that labor unions in the "Wu-Han cities”—Wuchang, Hankow and Hanyang, great centers df the Yangtze River valley—numbered a membership of more than one hundred thousand last November and that the work of organization was being pressed with great speed since the recent occupation of these cities by the forces of “Red Canton-” Until the present year, organization of the unions was forbidden in most of the districts, while the whole idea and significance was foreign to the coolie class from which factory hands were recruited. Machinery has come into China so rapidly that it is not surprising that the people have been wholly unprepared to consider this great change from the period, only a matter of months ago, when almost all work was done in the homes. In 1920 the Hankow coolies who pulled rickshas went on strike against the Societe Francaise d’Automobiles et de Rickshas, which rented vehicles to the puller, and argument over the amount of rent to be paid the company led to organization of the Hankow Ricksha Men’s Union. Two years later came the Union of Hankow Cotton Dealers’ Employes and the Haftkow Printers Union. During 1920 progress of organization was rapid, particularly after the southern troops from Canton had occupied the district in September. The ricksha pullers’ union in Hankow now numbers 7.000 members, while there is a long list of other unions, including employes of cotton mills, tobacco companies and printing shops, domestic servants, wharf coolies, restaurant waiters, cask makers, coal carriers, bristle makers, barbers, oil mill workers and a variety of other toilers. Free schools are to be established for workmen under the various unions, and other constructive work is planned. 69 DENTISTS GATHER Association’s Annual Meeting, May 16 Planned at Session.
