SOUTH AFRICANS
L00S|NC STRIKE
LEADER OF THE SYNDiCATiSTS Is
FORCED TO SURRENDER
TO THE MILITARY.

johannesburg, Jan. 15.-Secretary
Balm Of the South African Federation
Of Trades, and his band of 300 com
rades, who had barricaded themselves
in the trade hall here since tuesday,
surrendered Internationally to the po-
lice today. Mr. Balm and ten other
leaders were lodged in Jail. A seven
FOUNDER field gun trained on the
trades hall, proved an irresistible argu'
ment to Mr. Balm and his companions.
The government authorities gave them
q quarter of an hour in which to yield
informing them that If they did not
do so they would be buried beneath the
ruins of their fortress. After BRIEF
conferences they surrendered.
The railroad strike showed signs OF
collapsing this afternoon when 200
men applied for reinstatement at
Braamfontein.
The Transvaal Leader, newspaper
which has hitherto employed only I'M
ion labor, issued only four pages this
morning. These had been composed
by hand instead of typesetting ma
chimes and contained an announcement
that 'in future only non-union men
would be engaged on this paper
Along the Rand, the situation is re-
ported satisfactory,>to the government.
Some of the workmen at the mines
have volunteered their services for the
protection Of property.
Although laborers of all trades in
the Transvaal and Orange Free state
have joined the strike, the workmen or
Cape Colony and Natal are still at
their occupations there. There is
evidently some lack of sympathy. The
platform of the syndicate
ist strickers who correspond to the In
d1strialists q. w. W. Of the United
States. Some of the strikers IN this
city seem to be in an ugly mood, but
are restrained by the presence of large
forces of armed police and of the citi-
zens' defense force, over 100000 OF
whom answered the call to arms when
martial law was proclaimed.
Provisions are still fairly plentiful,
although very expensive. Most OF the
bakers shops and grocery stores are
still open. 81

 The fury of the eruption as observed at close range is described by scien- tist sent out by the National Geo. graphic society. In his report to the society this scientist quotes John D. Thwaites "a passenger on the steam CT Dora, which was 55 miles away from the volcano during tue eruption. Thwaites said:

The 71ndersfde of the decks seem ed to catch as much ashes as the sides or the decks under our foot. Bright clusters of electric light could be seen but few, feet away, and we had 60 feel our way about the deck. It was with the greatest difficulty, that the man at the wheel could see the com pass through the thick dust that filled the room. Luid flashes of lightning g glared continuously, while a constant with the flash, increased the horror of the inferno around us.
