Description

January 22 p.3 1) The Chinese hawkers issues were discussed in Treasury Cttee on Jan. 21. represented 150 Chinese retail merchants/hawkers. He said that Chinese hawkers had a single association uniting them over the past 20 years, and recently they had eventually united for a general strike to protest the heavy taxation. He claimed that if the City Council insisted on the amount, the price of the goods would increase and then it would affect the general customers. He also said the retail merchants were against the Chinese hawkers because the Chinese offer a lower price. He thus hoped that the Cttee would reduce the Tax. An alderman suggested that all retail merchants and hawkers had to pay $50 because the hawkers could cover a city wide selling territory, thus they could make good profits, where the store owners had to pay more on other facilities. As a result, the Treasury Cttee insisted on $50 license tax. It was reported tha t the strongest oponents against the hawkers were retail merchants United Association which demanded that the tax should be $100. 2) Mare than 2000 shantung workers were on board the CPOS back to China. 3) King Fung Co. 537 Carrall St. had been established in Van. for quite a few years and recently, it cooperated with Chong Wan Co. in Hong Kong for better communi- cation.
