 (Provincial Federation) was established with 23 trade unions and 35,000 members.

In Hunan province, after a long strike of 13,000 miners of An-yuen, the movement was established with 25 unions, in which were 40,000 members.

The Shanghai movement was very active, with strikes seamen, silk filature workers, postmen, and others, All these strikes, except that of the seamen, were, however, unsuccessful, and the movement there received a setback, only 20,000 members being organized as a result of the 1922 movement.
