MR TINKLER’S DEATH
EXPRESSION OF REGRET BY JAPANESE ADMIRAL. FURTHER PROTEST BY BRITISH CONSUL. 3y Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 12.5 p.m.) LONDON, June 8. “The Times” Tokio correspondent states that Admiral Kanazawa expressed regret at Mr. R. M. Tinkler’s death. He did not endorse the spokesman’s statement that Mr. Tinkler’s action was an insult to the Navy, but said it had created most unpleasant feelings throughout the service. “The Times” Shanghai correspondent states that the British Consul further protested to the Japanese Consul against anti-British agitation and said Chinese workers in British-owned mills had been intimidated and forced to strike. Armed agitators had fired on two Britishers endeavouring to persuade mill hands to resume work. He pointed out that as a result of the agitation, two Chinese printing works, with a capital of two millions, had been forced to close down. A Japanese Army spokesman claims that the trouble was the result of a dispute between capital and labour, but the Press blatantly admits the political nature of the trouble.
