By the Assoclated Press. SHANGHAL, February 25.—A serious impasse involving foreign and Chinese shipping interests of the upper Yangtze Rl\?!vr :n one hand and the Chinese River Pilots’ Association on the other was revealed here yesterday. It was learned that 150 pilots em- ployed on boats operating between | manding increased salaries to enable them to assist 75 unemployed members of the association. The eight shipping companies in- volved, two of them Chinese, rejected the demands and tied up their vessels | pending settlement of the controversy. Nearly all commercial traffic on the upper Yangtze thus was paralyzed. This further impeded China’s internal commerce, which already was at a low level because of civil wars, depreciated currency values and other economic ills. ‘The strike involves 85 per cent of the shipping on the upper river, in which 60 vessels are employed. Ameri- can companies involved are the Yangtze Rapids Steamship Co. and the Standard 01l Co. of New York. As the ships involved operate in the most dangerous section of the Yangtze, it s impossible to continue shipping ‘without emflm nl':lovle‘n];ue:;l. For- eign river gun pa e ) tion of the stream also have m my trained pflots. Their vessels thus far are not concerned. Fears were ex- pressed, however, in naval circles that the commercial pilots would force the navy pilots to strike also unless th impasse is settled quickly. . Special Dispatch to The Star.
