STRIKE IN AFRICA.
TURMOIL GROWING. CHAOS AMONG MEN. RESUMPTION EXPECTED. By Telegraph.—Frees Assn. —Copyright. Received March 7, 1.15 a.m. Capetown, March 6. The refusal of the Chamber of Mines to recognise the Industrial Federation has given great offence in trade union circles and a mass meeting of three thousand strikers in Johannesburg demanded a general strike. It is believed, nevertheless, that no matter how the ballot goes the men will return to work in increasing numbers. The strike leaders have completely split. The three principal bodies — the strike committee, the council of action and the industrial federation —are at loggerheads. The first two demand a general sympathetic strike immediately and the remodelling of the federation. This labor chaos has raised the temper of the strikers, who sre actively picketing. Strikers shot in the leg a worker trying to escape them, but despite intimidation the men are returning to work in increasing numbers. — Reuter Service.
