SOUTHAFRIGAN ANTI
Strike LAM N FORCE

By international Labor News Service.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July TO-
That South African workers have no
more use for anti-strike legislation
than do workers in other parts of the
world is indicated by the result of
the recent election in South Africa,
in which the government Of General
SHUTS was defeated by coalition Of
the Nationalist and Labor parties.
A so-called Cancellation and arbi-
tration law, which is really an anti
strike law, with heavy fines and i'm
prisonment for workers who strike,
was 3 big factor in the defeat Of the
SHUTS government, according to in
formation reaching Washington.
The anti-strike legislation was en-
acted by the legislature of the Union
of South Africa as an aftermath Of
the Rand gold miners strike, in which
there was considerable violence. The
law provides for the prevention and
settlement Of industrial disputes by
the creation Of joint industrial coun-
SAA9 Va W SOAAgAAAAtAOn DO8AQ8s II pIO-
hibits strikes or lockouts in public
utility services, provides for compul-
sorry arbitration where such services
are concerned and contemplates gov
eminent control when they are dis
organized by trade disputes.
The law further provides that
majority Of the representatives of the
and workers on council
or board may agree to abide by the
decision Of one or more arbitrators,
but. such agreement must provide for
the appointment of an umpire should
the arbitrators fail to agree. Any
award thus made is to be binding on
all the parties represented on the
council or board which has agreed
to the appointment of the arbitrator
or arbitrators. Pending the issue of
such award, or during its operation,

'MILLIONAIRES INCREASE;
RICH BUY TAX EEMPTS

WASHINGTON, July 17.-Income
tax returns contradict the c.aIm Ct
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon that
rich men are investing their money in
tax-exempt securities rather than in
dustry. The bureau Of int nal rev.
enue shows that the Mellon claim is
one CT the years greet hoaxes. It is
stated that 81 individuals rrrort they
received net incomes Of 81. 100000 or
