Tientsin, July 28.
British lighterage services on the Paiho were at a standstill today as 400 Chinese stevedores staged a mass walkout.
This demonstration of alleged anti-British feeling was set off when Chinese employed in the lighter service of Butterfield, Swire and Ca. decided to quit work on Wednesday. Also affected was the Taku Tug and Lighter Company.
Participants in tħe walk-out yesterday marched through Tangku and Taku urging Britons residing there to leave within four weeks.
Meantime, efforts of the anti-British League here to enforce an anti-British boycott continued unabated. Chinese were urged not to buy British goods, while Chinese employed by British firms or individuals were being advised to leave their employment.—Domei.
