WAGES IN SOUTH AFRICA
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PROTEST. CONCILIATION FAVOURED. (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) CAPETOWN, July 2. (Received July 3, at 9 p.m.) The Capetown Chamber of Commerce has protested strongly against the enforcement of the Wage Board determinations, which, it is contended, do not take into consideration the 100,000 coloured people' who are employed in industries and do not provide for the incapacity of the workers to earn the wages prescribed. The clothing and sweet industries are affected. “In unmistakeable terms,” said the president,' “we will tell the Government that it must keep its hands off the non-sheltered industries, or industry will be heading for disaster.” The chamber favoured the fixing of wages by conciliation boards. —Australian Press Association.
