All factories capitalized at $10,000 or more and having more than 30 workers must be registered within one month after inauguration. Any factories, although not known as such but nevertheless engaged in manufacturing articles belong to the registration category, and must comply. Non-registered factories will not enjoy financial and native goods certification privileges. It will be recalled in this connection that unless certified by the Chamber, goods produced in Shanghai cannot be sold in the Chungking-controlled interior.
Meanwhile. Chinese native goods manufacturers in Shanghaj have their feet in two camps, since, while Chungking is thus very serious in carrying out registration regulations. the new regimes "readjustment" committee which has replaced Chungkings Chamber here has also been registering trade bodies and it would appear that manufacturers will have to make their choice according to their intentions as to the places where they wish to sell their goods.
