Stricter police precaution against acts of sabotage in the French Concession have brought good results and no attacks or other untoward incidents were reported yesterday. Since Friday's attacks, when bottles with pi were thrown into packed trams, additional policemen were detailed to every tramway stop, with their duty consisting of searching every suspicious-looking Chi-mese entering the vehicle. No demands have been presented here either, but the strikers, who had been intimidated $n Tuesday morning, are gradually returning to their work and the management has been able to increase the number of trams running in the Concession. Over three hundred of the workers are already working, with about five hundred others still on strike. Police investigations have revealed, however, that most of the attacks staged on the vehicles in the Concession had been carried out by ex-employees of the company.
The skeleton service in the Concession is a Heaven-sent gift to several thousands of residents who, although inconvenienced by the small number of trams running, still find it quicker and cheaper to use than the rickshaws, who are charging exorbitant fares for their services. Other placesyto gain by the transport strikes were the downtown restaurants, since many prefered to eat in these places rather than travel in rickshaws to their homes in.the French Concession and western district. This also has hit many Shang-hollanders for the restaurants charge much more than the person would have spent at home.
