Printed leaflets were distributed by the "China Youths Cultural Society" yesterday urging Chinese employers and workers to ce-operate closely in the face of abnormal development of business in Shanghai so that "traitors" may not make use of them in upsetting the nation's economic plan during the resistance period.
It is alleged that recent strikes called by many employees or workers of Chinese firms and factories have been started by traitorous political agitators using the high cost of living as their pretext.
It would appear that these leaflets were distributed by the society with special emphasis on the labour trouble at the Wing On Company. It is asserted that if the management of the company voluntarily increases wages of employees, no traitors can make use of the situation. The statement also urges employees and workers to preserve their bright history of ce-operating with their employers so that no traitors can incite them to strike. Workers are asked carefully to check their own rank and file and to effect a rational settlement of their grievances.
Hope is expressed that the management of the Wing On Company will reinstate those employees who have been dismissed and that employees should always be loyal to the country and unite with their employers to achieve mutual prosperity.
