KIMBERLY South Africa, January II.
A desperate attempt was made early
today to wreck with dynamite the great
railroad bridge at Fourteen Streams,
about fifty miles north of here on the
border of the Transvaal. The rails
were torn up by the. explosion and por-
dons Of the approach were damaged,
but the bridge itself withstood the
shock.
Had the attempt succeeded, main line
communication would haYe been cut
between Cape Town and the northern
cities, including johannesburg, Pre-
toria and Mafeking.

introduced.
Break in Non-strikers' Ranks.
CAPE TOWN. South Africa, January IL.
The first break in the ranks of the non
striking railroad employees in Cape Col
ony occurred today at Salt River, about
two miles from Cape Town. Half of the
men employed in the railroad shops laid
down their tools. They formed pro-
cession and marched in the direction Of
Cape Town to hold a mass meeting. On
the way they made an unsuccessful at
tempt to induce the street car motormen
and the conductors to join them.
AS the railroad employees in Cape Col
ony are regarded as holding the key to
the strike situation. todays incident is
considered most important, and the gov
ernment Immediately ordered the mobi-
lization of the citizens defense force.
