LAWLESSNESS AND I NT! .MI DA TION.
Bv Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. Received March 9, 12.‘25 p.m. CAPETOWN, March 8. In the Legislative Assembly Mr Boydell, the Labour leader, said that the Rami was rapidly drilling: into civil war. He looked to the Premier to end the situation by other means than a complete .surrender of the men. General Smuts admitted that therehad been a good deal of indiscriminate lawlessness and intimidation, but the police believed they were gradually controlling the situation. There- was no doubt that the organised workers were losing control, which was now largely in the hamls of the hooligan element. He could not allow matters to develop into a state of anarchy and mob law. Unless there was a distinct improvement immediately the Government would be compelled to take extra measures. —A. and N.Z. cable.
