MINERS’ DEMANDS.
POSITION AT JOHANNESBURG. By Telegraph --Press Assn.—Copyright. Capetown, Feb. 7. A serious strike position has developed at Johannesburg. One version states that as the result of the demand for higher wages the General Council of the Mine Workers’ Union has declared a general strike. Another version is that the strike is not the result of a wages dispute, but originated at the Langlaate mine where the men objected to a shift boss and demanded his which the management refused. The third Version is that the strike has not been authorised by the Mine Workers’ Union, but is an attempt on the part of the extremists to stampede the miners of the whole Rand into a general strike on the eve of the elections. So far the trouble has been mostly confined to the West and Central Rand mines.—-Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. Capetown, Feb. 7. The Mine Workers’ Union ordered the mingrs, except those at Langlaate, to resume work to-morrow. —Reuter.
