100000 TROOPS READY.
Capelown in State Of Siege-Men
Fire on Train And Attempt to
Wreck Great Bridge

Cape Town, South Africa Jan. Il.
Quiet prevailed throughout South
Africa last night, but this may be
the lull before the storm. as the III
coming ballots from various cenrers
makes it practically certain that 4
general strike will be voted. The bai-
lots received from the miners along
the Reef all favor i strike and the
various trades, including shop as
siStants. warehouse men and clerks
in Johannesburg. have voted similar
ly.
The feeling is growing in Johan-
nesburg that the situation is becom-
ing more serious. The Cape Town
haroor workers have now been Off
cially called out by the union.
A ballot by the Johannesburg
branch of the Typographical Union
has resulted by large majority in
favor of strike.
If general strike is called it Will
be out of sympathy for the strike Of
the railway employees many of whom
have abandoned their posts and laid
down their tools in the railroad
workshops. The strike of the railway
men is said to be due to the policy Of
retrenchment put into effect by the
South African Railway administra-
tfon. IN pursuance o. which huns-
reds of employees in Pretorm, Bloom
tontein, Durham, Salt River and else
where have been dismissed. The
strikers demand the cessation Of this
policy of retrenchment and the rein
statement Of the dismissed men. They
argue that the administration rea!
rot:ve is to force wages down. as
shown by the fact that some OF the
dismissed men have been offered
other billets at reduced wages.
The most hopeful feature Of the sit.
uation last night was the extraor-
dinarv success attending the mobliza-
ton Of troops. 1t is estimated that
there are 10000 armed men on the
Rand most of whom have come pre-
pared for the same kind Of campaign
which made the Beers so long the

Workmen's Com pensation
Bill Prepared by 1nsur-
ance Commissioner.
ABOLISH LAW SUITS.
Employees to Receive Guaranteed FL
nancial Return for Injuries Re-
ceived While at Work.

Richmond, Va, Jan. l3.--A work
mans compensation law. designed to
guarantee labo-er monetary return
for injury received while in perform
ance of his duty, has been drawn by
Joseph Button, State Commissioner Of
Insurance and will be introduced in
the coming session Of the General AS
sembly. 1t is one step beyond the
employers liability law, and is NOS
eled after the Michigan Workman's
compensation law of 1912 1t pro-
poses to abolish, on the part Of the
employer, the common law defense
Of contributory negligence, assunlp-
i'tion of risk and injury by fellow
servant in their place to establish
an absolute liability in all cases except
where the injury results from the
wilful negligence of the workman.
The measure provides that no
compensation shall be paid unless the
workman is incapacitated for two
weeks. During the first three weeks
after the injury the employer must
furnish medical aid and medicines.
During. the period Of physical dis
ability resulting from injury the en-
rloyer will be required to pay the
workman a weekly compensation of
not less than 81 and not more than
$40. the amount to oe governed by the
extent Of the injury. In no case.
however, is the compensation to be
paid for more than 800 weeks. Should
the injury cause death the compen-
sation must be paid for 300 weeks
to the dependents Of the workman.
The amount of compensation to be
paid, the administration of the SLID
ing scale of. fees and the strict ap-
plication of the law is left in the
hands of an industrial accident board.
This board will be composed of the
Commissioner of Insurance, the Com
missioner of Labor, and the Secretary
of the Commonwealth. The feature
of the proposes bill is the economy OF
administration. According to the
statement given out yesterday oy
Colonel Button, all three Of the men
now occupying these offices In Fir-
pinia have agreed to serve upon the
board without pay. The cost to the
State for administering the law will
be almost nothing.
In cases of injury where there is
dispute in regard to the compenSa-
ton to be paid, the board has the au-
thoritv to supervise the arbitration
of the difficulties. The decision Of
tho arbiters can be reviewed by the
State Supreme Court. The bill Gov,
ers nineteen typewriter pages ana
is designed to meet every emergency
that has arisen under the adn,imstra-
tion Of the law in Michigan and olher
states.
