Business for local orchestras the
past year has been very good and lo-
cal organizations and committees are
finding that it pays them better to use
their -home musicians at local pn‘ccs
than it does to use out—of—town talent
at increased prices and extra railroad
expenses.
The local musicians have a commit-
tee appointed to arrange for :1 dance

will be the ace in dances in thc Nor-

STRIKE IN MINES

Labor’s Attempts to Stop
Increase of Native
Workers
JOHAN‘NESBL‘RG. ‘Jan. 9.——A
strike has been declared in the Trans-
vaal gold and coal mines beginning to-
morrow. The strike will include the
Victoria Falls power station and en—
gineering shops The cause of the
dispute is an attempt by the mine
owners to reorganize the labor forces
by greater employment of native La,-
bor. especially in the semi—skilled oc-
cupations. in order to decrease worlb
ing costs and thus meet the decreased.
pricc of coal.
Premier Smuts endeavored to avert
the coal strike. advising the coal min-
ers to accept a reduction in wages as
the Government considered that un-
der existing circumstances it was im—
possible to put pressure upon the em-
ployers. A ballot of the miners. how'-
ever, decided in favor "of a. strike. {
