Autobiography of William Tong I have taken much pleasure in copying for your keeping the brief autobiography of your Grandfather Tong, with a few closing remarks written by a friend as a memento for his children and his children's children to look upon after his departure from this world of sin, of care and of sorrow. At this period, no general or united military organization had taken place, and the Company to which I was attached acted under the authority of the State of Maryland, and not under the control of the Continental Congress. All the commotion, the allarums and apprehension, the hopes and fears (consequent upon the vacillating policy of the Mother Country in reference to her colonial difficulties) which preceded that memorable struggle, are fresh in my memory. www.watchic.net /roots/tong   (2368 words)

Organizing Crime in Chinatown A tong is not a criminal organization per se, but a natural means of obtaining and using mutually obligate bonds (guanxi) for both criminal and non-criminal purposes. Those who have heard about the tong wars and thought of it as internal conflicts within a secluded immigrant subculture will be surprised to learn about the complex interplay of illicit and licit actors across ethnic lines. This historical study examines the violent conflict between the Hip Sing Tong and the On Leong Tong in New York City between 1904 and 1906 before the background of Chinese immigration and crime in the U.S. in the 19th and early 20th century. www.organized-crime.de /revmci01.htm   (984 words)

Traffic - John Denvir Not surprisingly, Chinatown's famous organization of businessmen, the Six Companies, attempted to enjoin screenings of The Tong Man, fearful of the racist content they had come to expect from early Hollywood: In fact, the film may be the first ever shown in a local courtroom. In early 20th century San Francisco, the headline "Tong War" sent the same reactionary message that "Drive-By" conveyed eight decades later. Aided by Justice Harry Low, the first Chinese- American to serve on the Court of Appeal and one of California's most-respected former jurists, we'll use The Tong Man to examine how legal policy worked to make "outlaws" of the men and women who created modern California. www.usfca.edu /pj/ggls.htm   (1881 words)

Lalor, Cyclopaedia of Political Science, V.1, Entry 242, COCHIN CHINA: Library of Economics and Liberty Cochin China has sometimes been directly subject to the Chinese empire, sometimes separated from it; it has been frequently at war with the kingdom of Siam, with Cambodia and Tong-King; it has had its periods of revolution and insurrection: this is, in brief, what we can glean from the historical recitals relating to this country. In Cochin China, as in China, the government, founded on despotism and served by a powerful hierarchical organization, has witnessed the gradual exhaustion of its principal resources, and seems to be hurrying with mighty strides toward dissolution. Between Tong-King and Cambodia is a vast stretch of territory called the kingdom of Laos, which is tributary both to Cochin China and to the kingdom of Siam. www.econlib.org /library/YPDBooks/Lalor/llCy242.html   (1696 words)

Thorstein Veblen’s Singapore Singaporeans like C.V. Devan Nair (a former President), Francis Seow (a former Solicitor-General) and Tang Liang Hong (a former election candidate for the opposition Workers’ Party) have had to go into exile after falling foul of the Governments of Lee Kuan Yew and Goh Chok Tong. However, the ruling political party in Singapore, the People’s Action Party (PAP), gradually drifted away from Fabian socialism towards technocratic pragmatism and finally quit the Socialist International in 1976 as the effort of some of the other parties to get it expelled from the organization was gathering steam. Nevertheless, to be fair to the PAP government, “responsible” opposition politicians, i.e., those who manage not to antagonize the Government such as Chiam See Tong and Low Thia Kiang are tolerated in Parliament. phuakl.tripod.com /eTHOUGHT/Veblen.html   (3511 words)

AllRefer.com - Peru - Introduction Peruvian Information Resource According to political scientist and Senderologist David Scott Palmer, the SL in early 1992 was fighting the local grassroots organizations-- such as neighborhood committees, mothers' clubs, soup kitchens, and church-sponsored discussion groups--"hammer and tong" and imposing its own local organizations. However, despite its efforts (which included assassinating Moyano's successor in January 1993), the SL failed to defeat the shantytown's popular organizations. Captured documents enabled Dincote to neutralize the SL's Lima-based organization with the arrests of other key female leaders, such as Laura Zambrano Padilla ("Comrade Meche"), a former teacher who had headed the SL's Lima Metropolitan Committee, which planned and implemented terrorist actions in the capital. reference.allrefer.com /country-guide-study/peru/peru10.html   (10395 words)
