Description

January 19 p.3 1) The CBA in Vancouver sent an appeal to Ambassador Wong on Jan. 16 asking him to appeal for an extension of business hours for Chinese merchants. The CBA asserted that the by-law regulating that all stores close at 6 p.m. was indeed a drastic measure against the Chinese workers because they were unable to buy provisions. (Most Chinese workers were single and they worked from 7:00-6:00 which allowed them no time to shop.) It was hoped that Ambassadoe Wong could appeal to the City Council for 2 hour extension for Chinese stores. 2) The Chinese government had sent military experts to investigate the war conditions in Europe, e.g. the army force in Peking had sent to France, and he had saild to France from Vancouver on Jan. 9th. Also Lieutenant of the navy also came to Van. for shipment back to China after his investigation in England. 3) The Law Student's Assoc. in Van. prohibited E. Asians from taking lawstudies. (Recently 2 Chinese and 1 Japanese wanted to enter law school). The students accused the president of his intention to modify the regulations that restricted E. Asians from entering law school in B.C. P.3 4) 27 gamblers were arrested in 102 E. Fender Street. The head was fined $25 or 1 month in prison while the others were fined $10 or 10 days in prison. 5) The owner of a smoking den was put into prison for 3 months.
