EAST INDIANS IN NATAL
GO ON GIGANTIC STRIKE
Hundred and Fifty Thousand
Workmen Quit-Disorders
Now Feared.

DURHAM, Natal, Union of South Afri-
ca, November 1S.-Practically every one
of the 10000 worknen Of East Indian
blood in Natal has laid down his tools.
Thus far the strikers have been compar-
atively peaceable, but serious disorders
may break out at any moment.
nl-feeling among the East Indians has
been considerably augmented by two in
cidents which occurred during the past
twenty-four hours. The first of these
was the death from flogging of a laborer
in the coal mining town of Dundee twen-
ty miles north of Ladysmith. The sec
ond incident was the arrest of 1000 East
Indians who attempted to cross the bor-
der from the Transvaal into Natal. The
federal law of the Union of South Africa
prohibits the emigration of Asiatics from
one state to another. The 2,OO0 East
Indians from the Transvaal had planned
demonstration in sympathy with the
strikers in Natal.
Industry Paralyzed.
The strike already has paralyzed in
dustry throughout Natal. The East In
dams do practically all the labor insNatal,
including that Of the farms, the railroads.
the sugar, the tea and the waffle plan
tations and the mines. Most OF the me-
chanics and domestics are also of this
race All the strikers refused to pay
their poll of So a head.
The most alarming menace in the pres
ent situation is the likelihood that the
strike will spread to the other states OF
South Africa.
The government Is disinclined to de-
clare martial law, as the employment OF
imperjal troops for the suppression of the
trouble among the East Indians would
be almost certain to cause movement

native people are already considerably

| AN WAR.

A sworn statement is made by the
Times-Union that Mr.. Frank P. FIem-
ing, son of the late Governor Frank
P. Fleming. is one of the stockhoId-
ers of that newspaper. This sworn
statement is made, of. course, with
Mr.. Jennings tacit knowledge of its
being true. Dixie denies the statement
in toto, and says that Mr. Fleming
does not own one dollars worth of
the stock. Dixie's published denial is
direct impeachment of Mr. Elem.
ing's yeracity. In the "olden times"
Dixie's declaration would call for "pis-
tolls and coffee for two with very
little reliance placed upon the coffee
as nerve bracer. If those old Gus
toms were revived they would put a
cure to the style and type of modern
journalism such as the readers of
Dixie are compelled to endure.

LIFE's CONTEST ON WAR

IL magazine known as Life" offer-
ed a prize of $500 for the best original
arraignment of war in 500 words or
less. The offer aroused great deal
of interest throughout the country be-
cause there is a steadily growing SEN
timent hostile to war. and hostile to
the men in public life who nurture
and foster the war spirit, which we
see finding expression in the constant
preparation for war One knows
that the rule of life is that one reaps
that which he sows-that one gener-
ally finds that which he goes search
ing for.
The war spirit is fed by big standing
armies and the building of big bat
tleships. The object of the articles
contributed TO Life is to put stop TO
it, for the shadow of war is a menace
to the peace adm tranquility of ma
tions, while war itself is what Cen
eral Sherman described it.
"Sherman's march to the sea" left
standing only smokeless chimneys in
its wake to tell of its work of de-
struction and humiliation, and war
in all ages has left as legacy its
bloody footprints on the map of the
world.
Up to August 90th. 2492 articles
had been received by Life, out OF
which number FIVE We're accepted. and
from these FIVE the judges selected
the one contributed by. James Logan
