The Labour Problem in China

Mr. Tuxford's Address at the Engineering Society The opening meeting of the 1920- 21 session of the Engineering Society of China took place on Tuesday evening in the Royal Asiatic Society's rooms. Mr. A. P. Wood took the chair, and after transacting the usual routine business, called upon Mr, I. Tuxford to assume the Office of acting President in the temporary absence of Mr. H. H.

neid, the President elect.

Mr. Tusford said that the question of Labour nowadays was getting more and more serious and Was a question open to a great deal of discussion and he thought that by ventilating the question and obtaining the views of those who had experience of different classes of Labour it might be possible to avoid in China in the future the friction which is continually occurring between ow. ployers and Labour in Europe and America, He thought it should not be difficult at the present time in China to arrive at a conclusion of what is fair pay for good work.
