CHINESE FOR AFRICA
THE TRANSVAAL MINES NPFn
THE EASTERN COOLIES.
A Serious Labor Problem to Solve
Vast Enterprises Seeking Cheap
Workers - The Native
Blacks Indolent.

The English parliament has recently
put the seal of its approval on the i'm
portation Of Chinese coolies into South
Africa, where there is at present ur-
gent need for workers Of this class.
In past years practically all the TN.
skilled labor in South Africa was car
ried On by the Kafirs, but now condi-
tons are very different from those
formerly existing, and the T~ransvaal
Glamors for new laborers, for assist
ance to tide over the commercial de-
preston which the land is to-day ex-
p~eriencing. Lord Miner, governor Of
the Transvaal and Orange Free State
after careful study of the subject and
consideration Of various remedies pro-
posed, decided the most practicable
plan was the importation of Chinese
labor; and, assisted by Sir Alfred Law
ly, prepared the law permitting the i'm
portation of contract Iaborers from
China. The liberals in England, and
all the colonies, with the exception Of
the TranSYaal, have bitterly opposed
the passage of such a law, advancing
that the contract system would lead to
the virtual slavery of the laborers; but,
though strongly opposed, the introduce
ton of Chinese has been adopted as at
least a temporary policy.
South Africa being very sparsely pop
ulated and offering comparatively few
inducements to new settlers, what en-
terprise has put forth its head since
the country's disruption by the war,
has been handicapped by the inability
to get the labor desired. Bishop Hart
zell says, for various industries, at
least zoo, 900 laborers are needed; the
mines, agriculture, and other industries
waiting impatlently for the coming of
these workers.
The gold mines are again producing
largely-in 1903 the output of the Rand

TURIST.

mines vas more than half that of the
year preceding the wAr-but are being
hampered by the limited supply of la
Dor. Once the Kaffirs did ali the un-
skilled work about the mines, but the
natives have become dissatisfied with
the reduction in miners wages. and al.
so they find ample opportunity to en-
gage in more eongenial tasks. Outside
cheap labor, therefore, must be pro-
cured; the Chinese coolie seems to an.
swer better generally than the sug-
gested native from India or white un-
skilled labor, and the success of utiliz-
ing the labor of the American negro
appears decidedly problematical. John
Chinaman can and will work under
conditions that the Kaf1r did, and with
his tireless energy and low standard OF
living is the present hope of the per-
picked South African business man.
We are wont to think of the Trans
vaal as a "gold-producing world" but
farming really is the occupation of the
great part of South Africa. The year
1903 has seen Both agriculture and in.

was proposed the native laborer might
be regained and procured by the old
appeal to the head-man of the tribe to
send in a certain number of laborers
each year; and the ~abrogation of the
tax was also suggested. But the
three-year contract system met with
strongest approval.
