A British Gesture

IN CANTON

Shameen Gate Reopened in Token of Friendship Canton, Oct. 22.

As the Tariff Conference is opening on October 26, the British a thorities at Shameen are opening the small gate on the British bridge on October 26 with a view, if possible, to making the people of Canton realize that there is no unfriendly feeling towards them.

Recent incidents occurring in Canton have established the fact that tthe Strikers' Union is in complete control of the city, and neither the police nor the Government forces have any control over their activities whatsoever.

Interference with foreigners on the part of the strike pickets con. tinues unchecked, Oct 26.

The small gate on the British opened Pacific Bridge leading to the Shameen was to-day.—Reuter's Service.
