NOT OFF
JOHANNESBURG STRIKE. (Rec. March 17, at 11.10 p.m.) CAPE TOWN, March 17. The Johannesburg Augmented Strike Executive declines to recognise the calling off of the strike by the Industrial Federation, and has issued a notice to the Trades Unions warning them not to pay any attention to the notices issued without their knowledge, and consent, as they h::ve come from people who cannot be trusted. This notice is stated to illustrate the confusion caused by the existence of various executives. Subsequently the joint executives met by permission of the authorities, when it was decided to take a ballot on the question of ending the strike. Johannesburg is full of rumours regarding trials and executions of revolutionary leaders under martial law. It is officially stated that the rumours are untrue. No trials have yet taken place. It is reported from Pretoria that the head and front of the revolutionary movement for a long time has | been centred in Johannesburg in the person of an Eastern European of fairly long residence in South Africa, who was provided with plenty of money. He is now reported to be in custody.
