LULL BEFORE THE STORM.
JOHANNESBURG, Wednesday
It was a dull day at the Trades Hall, described by the miners' secretary as the lull before the storm.
Apart from encouraging telegrams from all quarters, there is no excitement. Several heads of departments in various industries have visited the Federation Executive and discussed certain terms which are considered to be essential to prevent trouble or damago to property
In reference to the Bakers' Unions' prohibition regarding tho supply of bread to the Defence Force and the police, Mr Quinn, M.P., one of the largest Johannesburg declared that it would bo quite impossible to recognise this. He would himself with volunteers go to the bakehouse and make bread. The first supply would be for the hospitals, and then the other places would receive the best attention .
It is possible, it is anticipated, that the manufacturers could keep the town sufficiently supplied. Four hundred tons of food and fruit arrived to-day.
An armed patrol saw a man placing dynamite on the railway near Georgegoch station. The patrol fired, but missed the man (whom he identified), and he escaped.
