TRANSVAAL STRIKE.
20,000 NATIVES AFFECTED. PUMPING MEN WITHDRAWN. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyrifftt. Capetown, Jan. 3. The Transvaal coal strike is in full swing. A thousand Europeans are out, affecting 20,000 natives. Pump men and other safety men remain at their posts, half of their wages going to the strikers’ fund. The strike committee advocates peaceful measures, and has obtained an order closing the bars in the area. The Government does not contemplate intervention at present, and will not attempt to force arbitration. The central strike committee has decided to withdraw the men previously permitted to continue pumping in the mines and in the public lighting services. The committee's action is the result of an alleged contravention of the conditions agreed on.
