Trade union leaders were in hiding, and their headquarters were guarded by soldiers of a "Left" Army to prevent their destruction by soldiers of the official garrison. Wages and working conditions were the worst we had seen.

At Kiukiang, on the Yangtsekiang, we again found traces of modern industries. The principal groups and their wages, were ascertained to be as follows:

Railwaymen, 2,300 employed, maximum $15 month, average $10.

Chinese-owned factories, 2,700 employed; 30 cents per day.

Foreign enterprises, 2,000 employed; 30 to 40 cents per day.

Artisans, 20.000 employed; 10 cents to 20 cents per day.

Coolies, number not given; 15 cents per day, without food.
