Canteens and the Politics of Working-class Diets in Industrial China, 1920–37
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 July 2019
Abstract
This article explores how workers’ diets and meal services at factory canteens became the nucleus of labour politics in Republican Shanghai, China's industrial heartland. At the heart of Chinese labour politics was a demand for the improvement of workers’ diets, particularly for adequate meal service, which was to be provided by management at a reasonable price—if not for free—at the workplace. The purpose of this article is not only to draw attention to a lacuna in Chinese labour history, but also to shed new light on the agency of workers in their labour disputes from the perspective of food history. No other issue provided a better opportunity to unite workers, labour activists, and so-called scabs than the issue of food. In the wake of labour disputes, industrialists changed their perception of the relation between industrial health and work efficiency. With the promotion of factory canteens, the Guomidang Nationalists also began to exert unsparing efforts to garner the growing political potential of the labour force. Therefore, factory canteens evolved into a contested space in which workers, management, and the state offered different visions of workers’ diets and industrial productivity.

A ‘rice allowance’ (mitie) was a type of compensation voucher that many Shanghai industrial plants offered their workers who could not afford to buy a minimal amount of their staple grain when rice prices increased at an unusual rate. The voucher was also a good substitute for management who could not facilitate factory canteens. Workers were given this small piece of paper that was inscribed with the ‘rice allowance’. When they left the factory, they were able to cash in the voucher at small neighbouring shops, and the management had arranged an exchange for the rice allowance at the equivalent value of a few coppers.

14 Ibid., p. 78; many textile workers lived near the mill or at a distance within which the mill whistle could be heard. According to Emily Honig's interview, one textile worker recalled that the whistle at 5:30 am was regarded as a wake-up call. However, a substantial number of workers living farther away had to walk to the factory compound—a journey that took an hour or more. This is also the reason why they could not go home during the lunch break to cook their own meals. See Honig, E. Sisters and Strangers, p. 137; Gamewell, M.

46 Shanghai workers spent more than 50 per cent of their income on food. They spent 53 per cent of these food expenditures on cereal purchases, of which rice accounted for 90 per cent and wheat and other miscellaneous grains together accounted for 5 per cent. After rice, vegetables and beans accounted for 18 per cent; meat, fish, and eggs accounted for 16 per cent; condiments accounted for 8 per cent; fruits accounted for 3 per cent; and miscellaneous items accounted for 2 per cent.

72 Frederic Taylor's Principles of Scientific Management (1911) was first translated and introduced to China in 1916. Taylorism became popular by the late 1920s and early 1930s, during which Chinese entrepreneurs enthusiastically tried to apply it to their management practices. For Fordism, the first Chinese translation of Henry Ford's My Philosophy of Industry came out in the second half of the 1930s.

94 In the contemporary CCP members’ skilful forging of ‘revolutionary tradition’, as Elizabeth Perry argues, the strikers’ memories of the first victory in their labour dispute of 1922 in the small coal-mining town Anyuan were tremendously important.
