After the organization of the church

where all could live together in one
community, instead of being scattered
trough all countries and states. Such
place was recognized as Kirkland,

as in those early days law or order were

WHITE MEN STARVE WHILE BLACK
AND YELLOW SLA YES MINE GOLD

Special Correspondents to The Press.
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa,
Jan. 17.-This golden FL Dorado,
the greatest in the world. has gone
broke. There is hunger and want,
wages cut in half or no wages at
all, bankruptcy Is too common to
cause remark, and johannesburg
is shrunken and apathy stricken
as if by a plague.
Yet the mines about the city will
this year, as in other years, pro-
duce $125,OO0,OO0 in gold, pure,
good, coinable, spendable gold!
The explanation is one of the
great ironies and teaches one of the
great lessons of history. The Boer
war was capitalistic war, If there
ever was one. Under Kruger, Jo-
hannesburg was immensely pros
porous. The mines were largely
worked by English miners. They
received high wages, sometimes as
much as $40 day. They spent the
money in johannesburg. Principal
owners of the mines. however. were
Englishmen, Frenchmen, Poles and
German, and lived in Europe
When the war came, all the Eng
lish miners went back home. Then
the few local owners had to sell
their mines to the richer owners
in Europe. johannesburg was swept
clean of white labor. After the war
the common Englishman who had
fought three hard years in the
ranks was not invited to the mines.
Tradesmen and hangers-on rushed
in, but no workinmen.
The International owners thought
it heaven-sent opportunity to
avoid for all time unionism. high
wages and the other things which
go with white labor. They forgot
that the white man wants comfort
and will spend his money to get it.
So the capitalists persuaded the
British government that they must
have Chinese miners, and they got
them. 100000 big, yellow Manchuri-
ans. All the gold they and the
black natives dug not needed to
pay them went to Europe, and Jo-
hannesburg got none of it.
There are men here today whose
salaries have been cut down by so
per cent. There are others who
hav no salaries at all. and whose
children live on bread and tea
bought with borrowed money.
1t is the shrinking process. Some
financial geniuses manage to live
fairly comfortably on nothing-how
they do it nobody knows. The ma
jority of the retrenched who had
not enough money to get out of the
sub-continent altogether are slowly
starving. Their position is hope
less.
Today the only hope for the
golden city of Africa to again de-
serve its name is to expel the
Cinnamon and bring back white
labor,
