SOUTH AFRICAN LABOR.
VISIT BY ENGLISH LEADER. By Telegraph.—Press Assn —Copyright. Capetown, Oct. 2. Mr. Tom Mann, late president of the International Transport Workers’ Federation, has arrived at the invitation of certain labor organisations. Interviewed, he said he was not out to create trouble, but to help in re-building the trade unions, which apparently were in a bad way. $ He expressed disapproval of certain features of the new conciliation scheme. His eight years’ Australian experience of similar institutions showed they did not advance the true interests of workers. He was convinced nothing less than identification with the international movement would meet the requirements of the future. Also he had in view action in connection with the organisation styling itself. “The Class War and Prisoners’ Release Committee,” which protested against the sentences on the men concerned in the strike, and he would join the South African workers in demanding a general amnesty.
