moolties increases lmportatlons.
The free listing of beef and other
food products under the new tariff
law is causing enormous increases in
the importations of foodstuffs into the
United States. judging from figures
issued recently by the department of
commerce. Food importations in No
vember showed a marked increase
over imports for the same month a
year ago and a considerable increase
over the preceding month of October.
lmportations of fresh beef, which
amounted to 100000 pounds in o.
tober, were practically doubled in No
vember when 10,856,516 pounds of
fresh beef were imported. More than
one-half of the beef imports came d.
rect from England. There were no.
600 pounds of pork and $4,000 pounds
of mutton imported.
Cattle importations in November
numbered 128,11S head, valued at 49,
3O6.723. against 43,75S head, valued at
$S29,35S in November, 1912. The to-
tai number of cattle imported in Oc-
tober and November under the new
tariff law was 253,757. 1t was valued
at S6,704,79O.
Importations of wheat in November
were $4,000 bushels, against 1000
bushels in November, 1912, and Of

RESULT OF STRIKE LEADERS ARREST
General Strike Recommended by

Like Besieged City.

Pretoria, Union of South Africa
Not since the Beers laid down their
arms to the Britons in 1902 has the
Rand been as near state of war as it
is now. Martial law may be declared
Many Of those who predicted fail
ure for the strike have become so
alarmed that they are pleading for
white unity to protect the women and
children from the horrors of native
uprising.
johannesburg has the appearance Of
a besieged city. The calling out of
the burghers has resulted in the gath
ing of 10000 of the old Free State
burghers, who have sprung to arms
with the same alacrity as in the days
of native uprising or when the Brit
ish invaded the veldt. This force is
under command of the veteran Boer
general, Jacobus H. de la Rey
Strikers rae incensed.
The proposed massmeeting of the
trades federation has not yet been
prohibited, but the proclamation Of
martial law probably means that an
attempt will be made to prevent a
demonstration, which, in the present
temper of the strikers, who are in
censed by the arrest of their leaders,
may result in an even more tragic
affray than that which happened on
July last, when rioters were fired
on by the troops.
The trades federation has recon.
mended a general strike.
| So far as military preparations can
assure 1t the government has abso.
lutte command of the situation.
Dare Not Arrest Leader.
Secretary Balm of the Johannesburg
trades federation, for whom warrant
has been issued, was present at q
meeting held in the trades hall. He
was surrounded by bodyguard Of
1000. The police, realizing that he
could not be arrested without blood
shed, decided to await a more favor

The strikers have formed a police

acts was the closing of all saloons.

Johannesburg.-The railway strike
situation is more favorable. The meet
