Work and Wages in South Africa

In a letter from a Dundee, trooper, daitd from Johannesburg, tha writer gives some valuable information to in tending emigrants to Sooth Africa. Ha ' -ays that in Johannesburg 25 per cant of the mines hays restarted work, and

this number is gredu.lly increasing, At present unskilled labour in the mines commands » wage of 15a daily above ground and 17s 6d per day bolow ground ; but then it mast be remem bered that living is oxcapUonally expensive, a modest pgtiuute being anything from £10to £15 a month for bo»rd, lodging, and washing. Very few civilians are being allowed passes from Gape Town to Johaaneebarg, and these must have situations to come to. No immigrant into South Africa at the present time need hope to be allowed op country unless they have occupa tions waiting for them. According to the Emigration Office, "the demand for I clerks is strictly limited," but tho follow ing extracts from the Cape Times reiat ye to openings for clerks in Soatb Afric* may be of interest .-—"There are clerkß and clerks. The clerk who goes to South Africa muet be a man of some initiative, who will not keep his previous experiences at the back of his head till somebody asks for it; a mau of some ideas, with the capacity to apply them, and, generally, a man who is steady and willing to work. There :is very little room on the staff of the ,O(JR for inexperienced men. The local supply of these is ample; As re» gards pay, clerks usually begin at about £12 per month, and may rise to i chief clerk at £45 per month 1. Clerks in intermediate grades make from £14 to £30, the average salary in tha traffic department working oat at about £21 per month, Hours are about eight per day, and home leave it calculated at about one month pee 'year. The President of the Cape 1 Town Chamber of Commerce (Mr J W J agger) agrees that the loose classi fication of all sorts of men as clerks ia very often misleading. He states that in an experiencel, of Cape Town ex tending to 21 years, he has never known a clerk belonging to the in dustrial section who had to enlist or starve or go home for want of a berth. The Harbour Board provides one out let for unskilled clerical labour. A man may start there as tally-clerk at from £10 to £12 per month, and the prospects are fair. Of all sorts of clerks, a good general book-keeper, thinks Mr J agger, has the best chance of obtaining a situation readily.
