COMMUNISTS WANT GENERAL STRIKE.
THE GOVERNMENT READY. CAPETOWN, March 14. Communists passed a resolution in favour of a general strike at Capetown, but there is no prospect of success. The military authorities do not anticipate trouble in Capetown, but are fully prepared for any contingency. They’ have no intention of calling up local defence units. The power station at Durban is guared by police. Most of the members affiliated with the Union are on strike. A meeting of the Railwaymen’s Union passed a resolution calling on the Governor-General to dissolve Parliament and appeal to the people to prevent further bloodshed, also demanding a ballot for a general strike.
