SHANGHAI CRISIS
BOYCOTT OF FOREIGN GOODS
DOMESTICS ORDERED TO
STRIKE.
(AUSTR4LIAN-NEW ZEALAND CABL3 ASSOCIATION.) PEKIN, sth June.
Tho Chamber of Commerce decided against a general strike, but agreed to a boycott of the goods.and banknotes of the countries concerned, and the withdrawal of deposits from their banks.' Strike circulars to-day call on all domestics to walk out and join the unemployed. Russians, Boy Scouts, women, and foreign volunteers are minimising the effects of. the strike as regards foreigners' food, and the situation is merely inconvenient. The poorer Chinese, however, are beginning to feel the pinch of hunger, and the danger is looming up of their looting the provision shops. •
About four hundred Chinese of the settlement, police, among the lower ranKs at Shanghai only, are absenting themselves without leave. The absentees form less than 20 per cent, of the Chiuese in the. police force.
