Boycott Fostered In Tientsin

Chinese Employees of Britons Urged to Leave Peiping Agitation Grows

Tientsin, July 29.

An: anti-British boycott campaign was being carried on vigorously here today by the Chinese Anti-British Boycott Campaign Committee in complete disregard of the progress reported to have been made in Anglo-Japanese negotiations in Tokyo.

Yesterday the committee appealed to Chinese residents of the British Concession to leave their employers and return to the Chinese quarter. The committee organized propaganda groups to stage demonstrations and parades in support of the boycott movement.

Recently the committee appealed to the Chinese population to sever all relations with Britain.—Domel,
