JOHANNESBURG, July S.-Many
of the gold miners refuse to return to
work. At a meeting Monday after
noon militant leaders delivered fiery
speeches to the 5000 assembled and
a resolution declaring that the strike
was still on and condemning the
strike leaders was carried.
One Of the chief speakers an
nounced the organization of a new
union of South African workers,
which, he said, would be a revOlu-
tionary party. Efforts are now being
made at BraamfOntein 10 bring out
the railway workers.
A dispute is on over the actual
terms of settlement which Gen.
BOtha, the eX-premier, and Gen.
Smuts minister of mines, made with
the unions. The unionists assert that
they insisted that the government
provide for miners whose places were
taken by strike breakers, until new
places should be found for them, and
also that the leaders claimed amnesty
for the rioters, Gen. Botha replying
partment of justice but giving the
impression that ne favored amnesty.

club and other buildings are feared.

tween johannesburg and Germiston
was made during the night, but fail

trades unions marched Monday at

The Right Rev. Michael Bolton Furse,
lord bishop Of Pretoria, who offciated,
begged the multitude to return to
their homes peacefully. out of re-
spect for the dead. The spokesman
of the Trades Federation made sim
liar appeal. "Disperse quietly he
said Let none say that we are a
