The federation attracted most of the trades unions in the country. It had a policy of support for white labour, believing that employers had a policy of using black labour to drive down wages. The Cape Federation of Labour Unions which represented many coloured workers refused to do so. It was led by Archie Crawford, and its membership reached 60,000. It was active in the Rand Rebellion in 1922, but it largely collapsed 	South African Industrial Federation

13913551	HMCS Noranda HMCS Noranda HMCS Noranda was a Canadian built for the Royal Canadian Navy in 1940. She was launched on 13 June 1941 and escorted convoys for the rest of the war. After the war the minesweeper was refitted and was transferred to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police as Irvine. In 1962, the ship was sold and was turned into the yacht Miriana. Renamed Marijana and Viking L&R" in 1969, the yacht sank in May 1971 off the coast of Jamaica. Design and description. The "Bangor" class was initially to be a scaled down minesweeper design of the in Royal Navy  service. However, due to the difficulty procuring diesel engines led to the small number of the diesel version being completed. The ships displaced standard and fully loaded. They were long with a beam of and a draught of . However, the size of the ship led to criticisms of their being too cramped for magnetic or acoustic minesweeping gear. This may have been due to all the additions made during the war with the installation of ASDIC, radar and depth charges. The "Bangor" class came in two versions. "Noranda" was of the diesel-powered version, being equipped with a 9-cylinder  diesel engine driving two shafts that produced . This gave the ship a maximum speed of . The vessels carried of oil. The vessels had a complement of 6 officers and 77 ratings. The Canadian diesel-powered "Bangor"s were armed with a single quick-firing (QF) 12-pounder 12 cwt gun mounted forward. The ships were also fitted with a QF 2-pounder Mark VIII gun aft and were eventually fitted with single-mounted QF 20 mm Oerlikon guns on the bridge wings. "Noranda" was singular in having a single 20 mm gun in the aft mount. For those ships assigned to  convoy duty, they were armed with two depth charge launchers and two chutes for the 40 depth charges they carried. Service history. "Noranda" was ordered as part of the 1940–41 building programme. The minesweeper's keel was laid down on 27 December 1940 by Davie Shipbuilding and Repairing Co. Ltd. at Lauzon, Quebec. The ship was launched on 13 June 1941 and commissioned into the Royal Canadian Navy at Quebec City on 15 May 1942. Following work ups at Pictou, Nova Scotia, "Noranda" was assigned to Halifax Force, a local escort force operating out of Halifax, Nova Scotia. In February  1943, the minesweeper was reassigned to the Western Local Escort Force (WLEF), escorting convoys along the coast of North America. In June 1943, WLEF's escorts were placed in groups, with "Noranda" joining W-9. She remained with that unit until May 1944 when the ship transferred to Sydney Force, a local escort force operating out of Sydney, Nova Scotia. "Noranda" underwent a major refit at Lunenburg, Nova Scotia from September to December 1944 before returning to service on 2 February 1945. The minesweeper briefly returned to Halifax Force before rejoining Sydney Force. The ship was paid off on 28 August  1945 at Halifax. The minesweeper was transferred to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) on 28 August 1945 for service in their Marine Division and renamed "Irvine" in 1947. "Irvine" was stationed at Halifax until 1962. The RCMP sold the vessel in 1962 for use as a yacht and renamed "Miriana". In 1969 the vessel was renamed "Marijana" and owned by Rainbow Import & Manufacturing. The vessel was sold again in 1969, this time to Dolphin Sg Co Ltd and renamed "Viking L&R" and registered in the Cayman Islands. In May 1971 the yacht foundered in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Her registry  was deleted in the Cayman Islands in 1977. HMCS Noranda HMCS "Noranda was a Canadian built for the Royal Canadian Navy in 1940.
