TOO MANY STRIKES
PROSECUTIONS THREATENED IN SOUTH AFRICA NATIVE TRADE UNIONS. FAVOURED BY SMUTS WITH SAFEGUARDS. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.5 a.m.) CAPE TOWN, January 19. The prevalence of strikes in South Africa, especially among natives, has caused the Labour Minister, Mr W. B. Madeley, to send a letter to the Trades and Labour Council intimating that the Government intends to prosecute strikers or persons who incite others to strike in defiance of statutory and emergency regulations for the settlement of disputes. Employers failing to carry out wage agreements will also be prosecuted. A church deputation interviewed General Smdts and advocated the right of natives to form trade unions. General Smuts replied that Communist influence was working on a fairly large scale in South Africa. If native trade unions could be formed along sound lines it would be one of the best steps forward. He would accept such a solution, provided safeguards were devised to prevent exploitation of the natives.
