Danger of Suspension of All Newspapers Hongkong, July 26, The Union of the Chinese Pr men in Canton, which has brought [down some 30 newspapers there, demanding higher pay, is now demanding 90 per cent, dividend of income from the 12 remaining newspapers.

'The management of the newsffapers tried to interview General Chang' Kai-shek for the purpose of asking' him to take strict control over the pressmen, but in vain. The newspapers, in view of the fact that the pressmen are threatening to go on and even to manage ese newspapers themselves, have begun to suspend publiication, It is more than likely tat all the newspapers there, with the exception of the off organ of the Canton Government, will suspend publication before long.—Toho.
