From: 1800I 13 Mar 47 To : 1800I 14 Mar 47 G-2 PERIODIC REPORT HQ 6TH INF DIV Pusan, Korea 1900I 14 March 1947 No. 512. 3. Civil Relations. b. Civil Disturbances by Province. Cholla-South: CHEJU (991 - 1151): A general strike is in progress on CHEJU Island. The management and labor of all transportation agencies including a large percentage of the shipping, are on strike. This applies also to all factories, both Korean owned and those supervised by MG. The teachers and pupils of all schools are also on strike. 75% of the Korean MG employees are on strike. Although many and varied demands are being made by the striking elements, the basic reason for the strike appears to be a hatred for the police because of police actions during the 1 March riot; this hatred has been ongondered by recent agitation of the populace by the "South Korean Labor Forty" (Communist). No violence had been reported as of the end of this period.
