Just some notes while reading North-China
Daily News without
cross-checking Chinese newspapers.
North-China Daily News, 12th August 1926, p. 10.

'The strike in the Chung Hua
printing works at 277 Bubbling Well Road, where about 810 persons have been out
for more than a week, still continues. Agitators
are now attempting to extend the dissatisfaction to the sales department at the
corner of Foochow and Honan Roads. No settlement has yet been arrived at in the
strike of 150 printers in the American Presbyterian Mission Press works at 135
North Szechuen Road.' (emphasis mine)

'Although no settlement has been
reached in the strike of 810
printers in the Chung Hua printing works at 277 Bubbling Well Road, the
employees of the sales department at the corner of Foochow and Honan Roads are
working practically normally, only four employees failing to show up for work
yesterday. The police are still giving their protection to the office and have
succeeded in breaking up the gang of pickets which has been harassing the
employees for several days.' (emphasis mine)
North-China Daily News, 19th August 1926, p. 10.
'It is reported that the 150 employees of the American
Presbyterian Mission printing works at

to return to work and that the management is contemplating re-opening the works
shortly.' (emphasis

'About
1,600 of the 2,000 employees in the printing department of the Commercial Press,
who struck on Friday to try and enforce a demand for the dismissal of a
foreman, when they claimed had made a false report to the management to the
effect that they were idling their time in gambling, resumed
work unconditionally on Saturday afternoon. Of the remaining 400 on strike 50
representatives were chosen and held a meeting at the Commercial Press
Employees Union in Paoshan Road when it was decided that they should proceed
with the strike until the foreman was dismissed.' (emphasis mine)
North-China Daily News, 5th October 1926, p. 8.
'The backbone of the strike in the
printing department of the Commercial Press was broken, when the remaining 400 of 2,000
originally on strike returned to work yesterday morning, unconditionally.
It is understood that the management will not deduct the strikers’ wages for
the three days’ duration of the strike.' (emphasis mine)
