SOUTH AFRICAN NEGROES TO ORGANISE.

At a conference of natives sitting this week in Johannesburg, one Ziui was instructed by his Cape associates to bring forward a resolution in favor of the formation of a Native Miners" Union. This is perhaps the gladdest tidings the Industrialists could hope for at this stage of economic develop-* ment, and indicates tlie mai'ked'acceleration of tho latter. A native union would embrace the real proletarian on these goldfields, and his economic position would force his union to be a real lighting one. The members of the Transvaal Miners' Association would be wise fjo encourage and co-operate with this, movement, and ensure that future strikes waged by them will prove dif-* ferent to that of 1907. There is-no question of social equality in this; it is a matter of common sense co-operation for mutual economic advantage.-—South African "Voice of Labor."
