AID FOR DIAMOND MIMES
AFRICAN CUTTERS UNDER NOTICE TO QUIT QUOTA AGREEMENT Reed. 10.35 a.m. CAPETOWN, Tuesday A conference between the Control Board and the diamond producers has reached an agreement, fixing the quotas allotted to Government mines and alluvial diggers with respective carats 'of gems to be offered for sale. The Minister of Mines, Mr. A. P. J. Fourie, in his Budget speech, said this decision greatly relieved Kimberley and other centres dependent upon the diamond mines, where retrenchment was proceeding. The largest cutting factory in Capetown has given all employees a month’s notice, and cutters from Antwerp fear they will be boycotted on their return home, because they disregarded their union’s warning not to touch diamond-cutting in a foreign country.
