SOUTH AFRICAN STRIKE
CLAMOUR FOR SETTLEMENT.
(Received 2.30 p.m.)
CAPETOWN, Jan 24,
The prolongation of the strike is causing public clamour for a settlement. The miners are beginning to feel the pinch, as the funds of the Federation are limited. Already 25,000 natives have been repatriated, which even when the strike is settled might involve a serious curtailment of mining operations and affect trade. The conference is making slow progress. It is announced that it is discussing the gold mining position, which is the most formidable problem to solve. To-day the De Beers' explosive factory suspended operations temporarily owing to the closing of the mines.— A. and N.Z.
