LABOR VIEW

By GEORGE F. McCRAY for ANP
THE NEGRO LABOR REVOLT IN AFRICA

An unheard of thing is happening among Negro workers
in the South African gold fields. - Thousands of Negro workers
over a wide area in the transvaal gold ~fields _are stnking to

pression in their ancient hymn:
day!

$2.00.

' Those strikers have been long over due. A few years ago
an impartial commission of the International Labor organization acting at the request of the South African government itself, investigated working conditions of Negro miners and reported the miners were not earning enough to suport them;
elsves or their families whom they could not see for as much as
two years at a time.

A strike of Negro miners in the South African gold fields
In racial repression South Africa
is ten times as bad as Mississippi. Even Sen. Bilbo claims he
is the Negro~s friend. In South Africa even the Communists
are careful about their professions of friendship for the Negro
worker. And in that whole area there is not a single white
trade union that will admit a Negro.

What. is worse, the law does not permit the existence of |

Negro trade unions except among the mixed Negroes and employers are forbidden by law to employ Negroes in certain
jobs held excluively for white men.

How the Negroes ever got together sufficiently to plan coordinated strike action is really difficult ito understand.
first place the Negro miners called ~~~mine boys~ come from
widely separated areas where tribal customs and tribal languages are different.

MEDICAL DATA

By Dr. J. A. Thornton
~ GONORRHEA

We have heard this disease
mentioned so often, I am sure
we are all familiar with the serious consequences of this infection. Gonorrhea ranks second to syphilis because of its
wide distribution and_ great
prevalence, the statistics
gonorrhea is so great among
our youth is why, I would take
this opportunity to discuss such
a deep subject. Of course, by
now | think we understand
each other, as my belief is the
education of the public is the

success of all measures.;
Gonorrhea is a common
contagious inflammation of the
genital mucus membrane mainly propogated by impure con
tact and is a great cause of
sterility in women, this is so
often taken innoncently in

most tragic consequences.

This disease affects all ages
and all classes of society, and
is the cause of blindness in new
born babies, but in -recent
years this has been reduced because of immediate protection

to the child after birth.. Arthri
female organs ~are the results
of this infection, causes aches
of the joints, bladder and the
generative organs.

_Other causes is the danger

to the home and children in it}
~| from the use of public towels,

etc.. in the home... It is so
much eas~er and healthier to
the little ones to stress this

noint recht in the home, the in-|!

dividual use of all thines,.

we have them as young as five
discuss their difference in color, but that~s all it is to them,

will be.~
