THE RAND STRIKE.
AN EMPHATIC MINISTER. "INSOLENCE & ARROGANCE." By Telegraph—Press Assooiatlon—OouyrlgM ("Times"—Sydney "Sun" Special Cables.) Johannesburg, August 8. Sir David G'raaf, Minister for 'Posts and Telegraphs, in a speech at Oudsthorn, declared that the Government and tho pcoplo were not prepared to allow a continuation of the present state of affairs on tho Rand, as to do so would bo tantamount to abrogation of authority. Tho people must unite to prevent the reputation of tho country being dragged to tho level of that of a South American Republic, and not' allow strike agitators to tako the law into their own hands. The mines wore a national asset. The demand for tho recall of Lord Gladstono (Gov-ernor-General) was tho greatest picce of insolence and arrogance known. Ho was glad Britain had treated it with tho contempt it deserved. MINERS AND THE COMMISSION. (Rec. August 10. 5.5 p.m.) Johannesburg, August 10. The Trades Federation, the strikers' organisation, decided not to participate in the formation of a commission to inquire into tho miners' and industrial workers' grievances. The railwayman will have a separate commission.
