POLICE FIRE ON
NATIVE STRIKERS IN
SOUTH AFRICAN MINES

JOHANNESBURG, Union Of
South Africa, Aug. 20 (ANP)-
Native workers in the notorious
Rand Gold mines were trampled to
death and scores injured when
white South African police fired
upon 1,5O0 black African strikers
at the gates of the East Rand Gold
mine at Subniegal, Tuesday. Six
were killed under foot and 81 in
jured when the police fired upon
the defenseless native strikers who
in turn had threatened volunteer,
scab workers who sought to enter
the mines.
Probably the worst labor servi-
tude in the modern labor world ex-
lists in South Africa where African
natives in their own country are
herded into corrals and stockades,
given little freedom of action
worked in the Rand mines for a
pittance of pay. The mines are
principally owned by the English
although the Dutch Africanders
who are the most vicious employ
ers and the most rabid racists on
earth, have some holdings.
The strikes began some days ago.
The 35O,O00 native workers (as
they call the pure blood African to
distinguish him from the mixed
blood mulattoes who are mistreat-
ed also, and whites whom they call
European) who are employed in
the mines, worked all during the
war as an evidence of patriotism.
They make As cents day in wages
with an allowance Of food valued at
80 cents a day. They are now de-
manding a minimum of So a day to
cope with the rising cost of living
and to give them an opportunity
for more decent existence.
During recent years the natives
have organized unions. There are
18 of these unions who are now
considering urging strike of all
unions affiliated with the mine
workers. Workers in eight mines
are now on strike tieing up gold
production.

Of a Negro exserviceman who dared
defend himself in fight with two
white vets
The wave of rioting broke out as
result of a fight involving Ne
gro and two whites, known as the
Massey brothers. The Negro, an
employe of the Ritz theatre in front
of which the fight started, fought
back when showed by the two whites
who also attacked him. He knocked
one brother down and made his get
away, before mob of 1000 teen
age youths, led by veterans, could
catch him.
Reliable reports had it that the
police did nothing to stop the mob
that formed quickly, but turned the
town over to them. Children, wom-
en- and cripples were beaten indis-
criminately. One white man was
beaten for trying to defend Grip
pied friend and neighbor. Injured
Negroes dressed their own wounds
since there is no hospital for Ne
groes in Limestone county.
At it's height, the mob rushed
through the center of town, de-
manding that all stores employing
Negroes fire them or turn them
over to the mob. Burnham also re-
iported that several carloads of mob
sters rolled through the Negro COM
munity that night, but were fired
upon by Negroes who had prepared
for the invasion.
Upon Burnham's arrival in Ath-
lens, leading Negro citizens were
said to have informed him that a
state highway patrolman, Van Blu.

saying that an FBI report stated
