Example text

As a result, Japan decided to join in the legal inquiry. 39 Britain also succeeded in enlisting American support.

On I September, the Municipal Council decided to reach an agreement with Hsii, 91 and the actual resumption of the supply of electricity took place on the 8 September. The strike in the British mills was settled on 26 September on the same conditions as the Japanese settlement. 92 However, the strike on British ships lasted longer, because the seamen's union was controlled from Canton and was beyond the control of Hsii, and also because Yii Hsia-ch'ing, who had a personal stake in this strike, continued supporting it.

They had very strong worries concerning the reactions of the Municipal Council and the British. Besides, they could not accept the idea of placating the Chinese by offering monetary compensation for the workman who had been killed in the mill disturbances. Neither could they accept the notion of negotiating with the General Association of Workers, which was regarded as a communist organization.
