Eight thousand Laborites, at a mass meeting in the Market Square, passed a resolution that they will resist any attempted representative legislaion. Tom Mann signed a circular on behalf of the Transvaal Federation of Trade Unions, urging workers to remember the deaths of their comrades who were shot By the Government's orders in the defence of capitalists; and to remember the trial-less deportations. The circular declared that the railway men are working at starvation wages of four shillings, many at only 3s 4d a day, equal to Is 6d in Europe. Gold mining' was being carried on under murderous con- ! ditiona, the average lifo of a white miner being five years. Only one fourth of the white workers in South Africa are organised. Thi smust be altered. The unions must co-operate and prepare for solidarity.
