There are in China no special limitations to working hours. In some places some guilds have their own customs as to working hours, but overtime work can always be obtained by paying for it. There are no Government regulations and no trade unions on Western lines. There is however, in some places, for instance Canton, Nanking and Shanghai, a vague feeling of unrest amongst the labouring classes which might lead in the not distant future to the formation of such unions.
