Parliament to Re Upheld

The Cantonese Labour Unions held a meeting on Tuesday evening to discuss Parliament's presence in Shanghai. It was essential that Parliament be upheld, "tated the chairman, hence they should be heartily welcomed here. While many organizations were keen in welcoming the members to Shanghai, he said, certain organizations including the Commercial Federation and the Street Unions, were opposing Parliament and denouncing the mem-hers, as well as demanding its dissolution. This was not right, hence he would suggest that a general meeting be held later, to which the Federation and the Unions should be invited to send representatives, in order that the matter might be threshed out. After some discussion the chairman's suggestion was carried and a meeting will be held at a time and place to be announced.
