House of Assembly: Vol14 - MONDAY JUNE 16 1913

MONDAY, June 16th, 1913. Mr. SPEAKER took the chair at 10a.m., and read prayers. NELSPRUIT RAILWAY LABOUR. Mr. F. H. P. CRESWELL (Jeppe),

with leave, asked the Minister of Railways and Harbours whether a large number of men employed on construction of Nelspruit— Sabi Railway will shortly be thrown out of work by the completion of the earthworks on that line, and whether he will take measures to see that these men are at once found employment on some of the new works sanctioned by Parliament?

The MINISTER OF RAILWAYS AND HARBOURS

replied that he could not give a definite answer now, but would take the matter into consideration.

EXCISE AND CUSTOMS.
COMMITTEE OF WAYS AND MEANS.
The MINISTER OF FINANCE

moved that the House go into Committee of Ways and Means to consider the following resolutions relating to the increase of the rate of excise duties now payable under the laws in force in the several Provinces of the Union: To further increase such duty—(1) on and after the 1st day of January, 1914, on spirits now classed as wine brandy under the provisions of the “Excise Duties Amendment Act, 1909,” of the Cape of Good Hope which do not fall within the definition of wine brandy (Cognac type) contained in the “Wine, Spirits and Vinegar Act, 1913” from five shillings per Imperial proof gallon to ten shillings per Imperial proof gallon; (2) on and after the 1st day of July, 1913, on dop brandy as defined by the “Wine, Brandy, Whisky and Spirits Act, 1906,” of the Cape of Good Hope, and on spirits distilled from materials other than the produce of the vine from ten shillings per Imperial proof gallon to fifteen shillings per Imperial proof gallon with a rebate of duty on spirits distilled in Natal from the products or by-products of the sugar cane when duty paid for consumption in the province of Natal of the amount of five shillings per Imperial proof gallon.

The motion was agreed to.

IN COMMITTEE. The MINISTER OF FINANCE

said that these amendments arose out of the discussion that took place on Saturday, and was to meet the objections that were then raised. Hon. members would understand the import of these amendments when they remembered that it was proposed to levy a duty of £1 per gallon on wine brandy. It was now proposed to adopt the resolution which the House adopted in the Adulteration Act, confining the duty of 5s. to brandy of the Cognac type. All other brandies it was proposed to deal with in another way. It was proposed from next January all brandy that did not fall under the term wine brandy, Cognac type, would come under a different category, and pay a duty of 15s. per gallon. All existing stocks would be classified as wine brandy, whether they were sold this year or not, and would pay a duty of 5s. The result would be that no injustice would be done to existing stocks, but the next vintage would have to pay according to the new scale. With regard to Natal rum, hon. members would remember that it was proposed that this should pay in other Provinces a duty of 21s. per gallon. There was considerable outcry against this, because such a duty, it was stated, was not in conformity with the Act of Union. Dop brandy and Natal rum, therefore, would be classified in one category, and would pay a duty of 15s. But in the case of rum, there would be a rebate of 5s. where the product was manufactured and consumed in Natal. He moved that the Committee recommends the foregoing increases of Excise duties.

Sir J. P. FITZPATRICK (Pretoria East)

said he wanted the Minister to realise that as they had nothing to do with, the arrangements, they were unaware how the clause would apply. He would like the Minister to assure him that only the stocks in hand or produced during the current year, would be available for this 5s. duty. They felt uneasy regarding the check which the Government would have upon the stock available for the 5s. duty. This brandy might continue to be sold for ten or fifteen years. He did not know what the Government stock was—whether it was high class or dop. Would this excise believable on January 1? Would it have to be paid at once? Would it be levied on the brandy made or on the quantity in bond? They did not want to see an extension of the sale of cheap liquor up-country and the lowering of the duty, because they knew what the effect would be. Perhaps the Minister would tell them what machinery there was and how it was going to work.

The MINISTER OF FINANCE

said he understood the hon. member to ask how the Government was going to control this quantity of wine brandy which was in stock at present and any that might be manufactured to the end of the year? The Excise Department, he would say, had complete control over the manufacture of all brandy in this Province, whether the stocks were held by the manufacturer or the agricultural distiller. By the end of the year the Excise Department would know how much dop there was, how much brandy of the old type and how much brandy of the new type. As each individual sold he had to make a declaration. Everything was under complete control.

Sir J. P. FITZPATRICK :

It is a matter of bookkeeping.

The MINISTER OF FINANCE :

Simply a matter of bookkeeping.

Mr. E. NATHAN (Von Brandis)

asked under what law or laws the individual was bound to make a declaration.

The MINISTER OF FINANCE

said that while he had not the laws at his fingers’ ends, he could assure his hon. friend that this point was fully covered by existing legislation.

Mr. T. L. SCHREINER (Tembuland)

brought up the question of methylated spirits.

The CHAIRMAN :

That does not come under the motion.

Mr. T. L. SCHREINER :

Not under this motion?

The CHAIRMAN

said that the point could be raised under the Bill.

Mr. T. L. SCHREINER :

I want to ask the Minister—

The CHAIRMAN

said that the hon. member could not discuss the question at that stage.

Mr. T. L. SCHREINER

read the terms of the notice of motion and said that he wished to know whether the duty included methylated spirits. If not, then methylated spirits, which had been condemned by the Commission, would go in free of duty.

Mr. J. X. MERRIMAN (Victoria West):

How is it possible to put a tax of 10s. on methylated spirits? In England it is free of duty altogether. In Australia I believe if comes under a sixpenny duty. Continuing, he said that if the spirits were properly methylated they could not be put to the use feared by the hon. member for Tembuland. When the Bill was before them he intended to move an amendment dealing with the matter.

Mr. T. L. SCHREINER

said that he had an amendment on the paper. There was, however, still the question as to whether the whole of the duty was to be rebated.

The CHAIRMAN :

That is not germane to the motion.

Mr. A. FAWCUS (Umlazi)

made a final protest against the infringement of the free trade article in the Act of Union.

The CHAIRMAN :

It is a matter of principle. It cannot be discussed now.

Mr. A. FAWCUS :

I thought—

The CHAIRMAN :

The hon. member must confine himself to the details of the motion.

Mr. A. FAWCUS :

I am dealing with it, sir. Continuing, he said that as it appeared the Cape must have its preference the next line to be taken was that if preference was to be given to a high class brandy, the same preference should be extended to any high class spirits that might be manufactured in any other parts of South Africa.

Mr. A. I. VINTCENT (Riversdale)

drew attention to the existing stocks of grape brandy, and asked whether some protection would not be afforded these stocks until they were sold out. The Government might hold its stock until the other was disposed of.

The MINISTER OF FINANCE

said he could give the assurance that the Government stock would not be sold at such a rate as to depress the market.

The motion was agreed to.

The CHAIRMAN

brought up the report.

The MINISTER OF FINANCE

moved that the report be adopted and the resolutions referred to the Committee of the Whole House on the Excise and Customs Tariffs Amendment Bill.

The motion was agreed to.

MINERS’ PHTHISIS. Mr. W. B. MADELEY (Springs)

said there was nothing of more importance on the Order Paper than Order No. 20—Adjourned debate on motion of amendment of Miners’ Phthisis Act, 1912, to be resumed. He moved as an unopposed motion that Orders Nos. 1 to 19 inclusive stand over until No. 20 had been dealt with.

The MINISTER OF MINES :

We will give you to-morrow morning.

Mr. SPEAKER :

Is there any objection? There can be no debate.

As there was an objection, the motion was not put.

SELECT COMMITTEE ON NATIVE AFFAIRS. The MINISTER OF NATIVE AFFAIRS

moved the adoption of the third and fourth reports of the Select Committee on Native Affairs.

Mr. W. B. MADELEY (Springs)

wished to know why the House was asked to consider these reports before the first report, which was No. 10 on the Order Paper, and which was of the utmost importance. It was impossible for the order to be reached.

Mr. H. M. MEYLER (Weenen)

said he had received a letter from a Natal missionary, stating that some sites of the mission stations that he had applied for had been omitted from the list.

The MINISTER OF NATIVE AFFAIRS

said he would inquire into the matter mentioned by the hon. member for Weenen. As to why the first report of the Select Committee was not taken before the others, the explanation was that there were certain church and school sites and regulations necessary for administrative purposes dealt with in the subsequent reports. These were unanimously adopted by the Select Committee. He was in favour of the first report, and would be very glad if the House could discuss it. If there were time he would endeavour to have it discussed.

The motion was agreed to.

EXCISE AND CUSTOMS TARIFFS AMENDMENT BILL.
IN COMMITTEE.

The House resumed in committee on the Excise and Customs Tariffs Amendment Bill.

On the first schedule,

The MINISTER OF FINANCE

moved in Part I to insert in the first line, after the words “wine brandy,” the words “(Cognac type)”; in the second line to delete the words “spirits other than wine brandy,” and to insert in lieu thereof the words “spirits distilled from the produce of the vine other than wine brandy (Cognac type) and other than dop brandy”; insert after the second line the following: “Dop brandy and spirits distilled from materials other than the produce of the vine, per Imperial proof gallon, 15s. (see note).”

Agreed to.

Mr. C. F. W. STRUBEN (Newlands)

moved to add at the end of the third item “and such beer brewed in the Cape Province … 4s. 6d.” The mover said his purpose was to bring back the excise on beer to what it was at present in the Cape. Under the new Adulteration Act Cape brewers were not allowed to use sugar in the manufacture of beer, whereas in the other Provinces this was allowed, as it was in most civilised countries.

The MINISTER OF FINANCE

said he could not accept the amendment.

Mr. STRUBEN :

Where is the free trade when Cape brewers are not allowed to use sugar and the brewers in all the other Provinces are?

Mr. Struben’s amendment was negatived.

Mr. J. HENDERSON (Durban, Berea)

asked whether the Minister would withdraw his old amendments.

The MINISTER OF FINANCE

said that most of them would remain.

Mr. A. FAWCUS (Umlazi)

said he wished to raise a protest against the imposition of a duty of 1s. on acetic and pyroligneous acids.

Mr. E. NATHAN (Von Brandis)

moved the deletion of the words “acetic and pyroligneous acids, 1s.” He read a letter from the secretary of the Transvaal Manufacturers’ Association, stating that the duty of 1s. would inflict the greatest harm on the acetic acid industry, and in fact would mean the total prohibition of manufacture.

Sir D. HUNTER (Durban, Central)

said that he had laid a letter from the manufacturers before the Minister, and he hoped that it would be favourably considered.

Mr. W. ROCKEY (Langlaagte)

said that the tax would produce such a small amount that it was scarcely worth collecting. He did not think that 50,000 gallons of this article were manufactured in the whole Union.

Mr. A. FAWCUS (Umlazi)

said he did not think the Minister had considered the possibility of starting a large industry in connection with the utilisation of waste wattle wood. If they had a duty of 1s. per gallon it would absolutely kill the extract of this acid.

The MINISTER OF FINANCE

said that he had had a copy of the letter referred to by the hon. member for Von Brandis. There was some substance in it. There was, however, another side to this matter. He understood that this acetic acid was produced very little for manufacturing purposes and almost entirely for potable purposes. They had had this acetic acid examined which was sold to housewives for consumption, and in very many cases they found that acetic vinegar contained sulphuric acid.

Mr. A. FAWCUS (Umlazi):

Not if it is manufactured properly.

The MINISTER OF FINANCE ,

proceeding, said that the acetic vinegar which was used by housewives was poisonous. Members who knew the character of sulphuric acid would understand his statement. He thought they ought to adopt the clause as it stood.

Mr. E. NATHAN (Von Brandis)

thought that this should have been dealt with under the Adulteration Act, but what was the reason for breaking up these industries? If acetic acid was broken down by the addition of water it was perfectly harmless. They should have stated in the Adulteration Act what was pure and what was impure vinegar.

The amendment was negatived.

The first part of the schedule was agreed to.

On part 2 of the first schedule

The MINISTER OF FINANCE

moved in the title, after “Duties”, to omit “on spirits.”

Agreed to.

Mr. T. L. SCHREINER (Tembuland)

moved in part 2, in the second column, opposite “Methylated spirits,” after the word “manner,” to insert “and rendered unpotable to the satisfaction of the Commissioner of Excise.” The mover said that his intention was to know whether the Government intended putting an excise upon methylated spirits. Unless this was done the illicit dealers would take the cheapest spirits they could get. Large quantities of methylated spirits was imported into the Transvaal, which were sold by chemists and druggists. The Chief of Police reported that no less than 27,000 gallons were so imported. Large quantities of dop brandy and methylated spirits were mixed together and coloured and sold to the natives. Surely it was their duty to take steps to protect the natives.

Sir D. HUNTER (Durban, Central)

said he strongly supported the motion made by his hon. friend. It was imperative that they should prevent the sale of these spirits as a substitute for brandy.

Mr. J. X. MERRIMAN (Victoria West)

wanted to point out that the amendment meant nothing at all. He had tried to find out what they did in England. Proceeding, the right hon. gentleman said they allowed a proportion of one-ninth of the bulk in England, whereas in South Africa they allowed 2½ per cent. One-ninth of the bulk was 11 per cent., so that they allowed much less here. At the present moment they were framing regulations, but he did not think the regulations were strong enough. What they had to deal with now was whether they should tax methylated spirits or not. In Australia he found they imposed a tax of 6d. Here they followed the English idea, but he thought they might be more strict.

The MINISTER OF FINANCE

said he had no objection to making spirits still more unpotable.

Mr. P. DUNCAN (Fordsburg)

said the point was, what did the Collector of Customs require? Continuing, he said he did not think that the present restrictions were strong enough. With regard to the point raised by the hon. member for Tembuland, he thought that was rather a matter for administration.

Mr. T. L. SCHREINER (Tembuland)

pointed out that his amendment did not prescribe by regulation. It was only an additional safeguard. In England there was not a large native population, and he thought their duty was to protect the natives. If they put a heavy duty on dop and none on methylated spirits, they would have this stuff being sold as dop.

Mr. J. HENDERSON (Durban, Berea)

moved that after the word “unpotable” the words “as beverages” should be inserted.

Mr. J. X. MERRIMAN (Victoria West)

objected to the amendment moved by Mr. Henderson.

The amendment was negatived.

The amendment of the hon. member for Tembuland was negatived.

The MINISTER OF FINANCE moved:

To alter the heading under Column 3, to read as follows: Wine brandy (Cognac type) “amount of rebate—spirits the produce of the vine other than wine brandy (Cognac type) and other than dop brandy— dop brandy and spirits distilled from materials other than the produce of the vine”; opposite the first line of item “Plain Spirits,” etc., to insert “£ s. d.”; and opposite last line of the same item, to insert “0:13:0.”

Agreed to.

The MINISTER OF FINANCE

moved to add at the end of Part II the following:

“Spirits distilled in Natal from the products or by-products of the sugar cane— when duty paid for consumption therein— 5s.”; “Acids and pyroligneous acids and extracts and essences of vinegar—when exported from the Union for consumption outside it—the whole duty.”

Agreed to.

Part II, as amended, was agreed to.

The First Schedule, as amended, was agreed to.

On the second Schedule,

The MINISTER OF FINANCE

moved in item (e), immediately after the words “Wine Brandy,” to insert “and spirits distilled from materials other than the produce of the vine.”

Mr. W. F. CLAYTON (Zululand)

was understood to ask for an assurance that certain reductions would be granted to Natal.

The MINISTER OF FINANCE :

That amendment has already been passed.

The amendment was agreed to.

The second schedule as amended was agreed to.

On clause 1, Excise duties to be payable according to tariff set out in first schedule,

The MINISTER OF FINANCE

moved, in line 13, after “schedule,” to insert “to the rebates, in the case of beer, which may be permitted by the regulations made under section 7 (c) of this Act, and to any special exemptions which may be allowed in any Province under any law which remains in force therein,” and in lines 33 and 34, to omit “the date of the promulgation of this Act in the ‘Gazette.’” and to substitute, “the twenty-first day of May, 1913.”

The amendment and the clause as amended were agreed to.

New clause 3,

On clause 3, Conversion of certain Customs duties on spirits and beers into Excise duties, after 30th June, 1913,

Mr. J. X. MERRIMAN (Victoria West)

said he thought that this was the proper place to deal with the question of methylated spirits. The hon. member for Fordsburg had suggested that this should be carried out by regulation, but in England it had been found necessary to include it in the Bill. His amendment would enable them to keep within their purview all those who had these spirits. Dealing with the amendment of the hon. member for Tembuland, he said they had a far stronger provision in the law at the present time. He moved to insert the following (1) The substance mixed with spirits for the purpose of methylation must be wood naptha or methylic alcohol in the proportion of not less than one-sixth of the bulk of the spirits, or some other substance approved for the purpose by the Minister, and may if the Minister sees fit be provided by him at the expense of the methylator; (2) The substance must before the mixing thereof be examined and approved by an officer appointed in that behalf; (3) regulations may be framed by the Minister in respect of the mode and place in which the methylation of spirits shall be carried on and with regard to the conditions under which such spirits may be sold.

The MINISTER OF EDUCATION

moved that the sub-sections of this proposed new clause be taken seriatim.

Agreed to.

Sub-section (1) was negatived.

The MINISTER OF FINANCE

said the English law did not entirely prevent potability. As to the law of 1880, that was almost before the Flood. (Laughter.)

Mr. J. X. MERRIMAN (Victoria West)

said the latest English Act was dated 1906 —that was this side of the Flood. (Laughter.) This Act referred one back to the Act of 1880, of which the Minister spoke with such unmerited contempt.

Mr. F. H. P. CRESWELL (Jeppe)

feared that it was almost impossible to render the stuff unpotable for the native.

Sir T. W. SMARTT (Fort Beaufort)

asked if there would be any provisions in the Bill to prevent the sale of this stuff. (Hear, hear.)

Mr. J. X. MERRIMAN (Victoria West):

It may be a foul aspersion, but it is said that most of this beastiliness comes from Natal. (Laughter.)

Mr. A. FAWCUS (Umlazi):

We supply the antidote—the Natal rum. (Laughter.)

Mr. E. NATHAN (Von Brandis)

suggested the admixture of something which would cause vomiting.

The MINISTER OF FINANCE

said he would try to get the amendment of the hon. member for Victoria West altered in such a way that it be acceptable. He moved that the new clause stand over.

The motion was agreed to.

On clause 3,

The MINISTER OF FINANCE

moved the omission of the following from subsection 1: “(1) The duties leviable and payable as Customs duties in the Province of Natal, the Transvaal, or the Orange Free State in respect of spirits or beer which have been produced or manufactured in the Province of the Cape of Good Hope and imported into any of the other three Provinces shall, after the 30th day of June, 1913, cease to be levied and paid as Customs duties, but shall thereafter be levied and collected as duties of Excise, as if such spirits or beer had been produced or manufactured in any of the three other Provinces aforesaid.” General Smuts further moved that the following be substituted: “The duties leviable and payable as Customs duties in respect of spirits or beer which, having been produced or manufactured in one Province, have been imported into any other Province shall, after the 30th day of June, 1913, cease to be levied and paid as Customs duties, but shall, thereafter, be levied and collected as duties of excise at the rates prescribed in the first schedule to this Act, as if such spirits or beer had been produced or manufactured in that other Province.”

The amendment was agreed to.

The MINISTER OF FINANCE

moved the omission of sub-section (2), as follows: “The duties leviable and payable as Customs duties in the Province of the Cape of Good Hope in respect of spirits and beer which have been produced or manufactured in any of the other three Provinces and imported into the Province of the Cape of Good Hope shall, after the 30th day of June, 1913, cease to be levied and paid as Customs duties, but shall thereafter be levied and paid as duties of excise as if such spirits or beer had been produced or manufactured in the Province of the Cape of Good Hope. Such spirits or beer shall also, after the said date, become subject, as regards removals, operations, deliveries, exportations, and any other transactions whatever (except as regards drawback of duty on removal to another Province), to the law relating to Excise in the Province of the Cape of Good Hope”; and to omit in lines 50 and 51 the words “or subsection (2).”

The motion was agreed to.

The clause, as amended, was agreed to.

On clause 4, Removal of spirits or beer from the Province of production or manufacture to another Province,

The MINISTER OF FINANCE

moved, in line 60, after “Excise,” to insert “in the Province from which such spirits or beer have been removed”: in line 67, to insert between the words “Customs” and “have” the words “without any rebate”; in line 68, to omit “up or have been secured” and to substitute “or payment thereof in the Province from which the spirits or beer have been removed has been secured”; on page 6, line 7, after “Customs” to insert “the payment of the duty of Excise being allowed to be deferred until delivery from such warehouse.”

The amendment was agreed to.

The clause, as amended, was agreed to.

New clause 6,

The MINISTER OF FINANCE

moved that the following be a new clause to follow clause 5, viz.: (1) Spirits methylated in any Province, from whatever substance distilled, and articles which, containing spirits, have been rendered unpotable as beverages in manner prescribed by law may if the duties of excise leviable under this Act have been paid in respect of them, be imported into any other Province without payment of any further duties of excise or of any custom duties; (2) Spirits produced in any Province, from whatever substance distilled, may be removed, in accordance with regulations, to any other Province into the possession of any methylator approved by the Commissioner of Excise, or of any chemist or druggist or other person likewise approved, in order that such spirits may be methylated, or for the purpose of their use in art or manufacture: Provided that if the Commissioner is satisfied that such spirits have been so used and have been rendered unpotable as beverages, he shall allow—(a) in the case of spirits for use in art or manufacture, a rebate of such duty as is in excess of 2s. per proof gallon; and (b) in the case of spirits methylated, a rebate of the whole duty.

The MINISTER OF FINANCE

moved that the further consideration of this clause stand over.

Agreed to.

On clause 6,

The MINISTER OF FINANCE

moved that the further consideration of this clause stand over.

Agreed to.

On clause 7, Interpretation of Act and certain provisions of Provincial laws,

The MINISTER OF FINANCE

moved to omit sub-section (a) and to substitute: “(a) Wine brandy (Cognac type) means the distillate resulting solely from the distillation of wine the volatile constituents of which distillate (except water) are derived entirely from the wine, provided the distillate is not distilled at higher than 22 degrees over proof, and such volatile constituents include not less than 125 parts of higher alcohols calculated as amyl alcohol, and 300 parts of total secondary constituents per hundred thousand parts of alcohol.” On page 8, to omit lines 2, 3, and 4, and to substitute “pay excise duty at the rate of 5s. per Imperial proof gallon”; and on the same page, before the last paragraph, to insert the following new sub-sections (d) and (e): “(d) Spirits distilled from wine and classed as wine brandy under the provisions of the ‘Excise Duties Amendment Act, 1909,’ of the Cape of Good Hope, before the 1st day of January, 1914, shall only be liable to the excise duty of 5s. per Imperial proof gallon.” “(e) ‘Dop brandy’ shall have the same meaning as was assigned to it in ‘The Wine, Brandy, Whisky and Spirits Act, 1906,’ of the Cape of Good Hope.”

The amendment was agreed to.

The clause, as amended, was agreed to.

New clause 3, standing over,

Sub-sections (2) and (3) were negatived.

New clause 6, standing over,

Agreed to.

Clause 6 standing over.

The MINISTER OF FINANCE

moved in line 20, to omit “specifying” and to substitute “as to all or any of the following matters, namely,—”; in line 22, to omit “prescribing”; after paragraph (iv) of sub-section (c), to add the following new sub-sections: “(d) The compulsory registration of places where extracts or essences of vinegar or acetic and pyroligneous acids are manufactured so as to secure the payment of duties of excise; (e) the conditions under which spirits may be removed; (f) the powers which customs, excise and police officers may exercise, of entering upon the premises of persons dealing in spirits to inspect and examine such spirits, or any books kept by such persons relating thereto, and the powers of the Commissioner of Excise to prescribe what books and forms shall be used in connection with the production or disposal of spirits.”

Agreed to.

The MINISTER OF FINANCE

moved to add at the end: “The regulations made under paragraph (b) shall provide as one of the conditions mentioned therein that every substance to be used for the purposes of the methylation of spirits shall, at the expense of the methylator, be submitted to the Government analyst for his certificate that the addition of such substance will render the spirits unpotable.”

Mr. J. W. JAGGER (Cape Town, Central)

pointed out that no provision was made for regulating the sale of burning fluid.

The MINISTER OF FINANCE

replied that it was dealt with in clause 10

Sir E. H. WALTON (Port Elizabeth, Central)

said that the point was that excise officials should be able to follow these methylated spirits just as well as any other spirits.

The MINISTER OF JUSTICE

said he had seen the excise officials, and they said they could do this.

The amendment of the Minister of Finance was agreed to.

The Bill was reported with amendments.

The amendments were considered forthwith.

On the second schedule,

The MINISTER OF FINANCE

moved to amend the amendment he made in committee, by inserting “other than” before “spirits,” and after “1913” to omit all the words down to “Act.”

The amendments were agreed to.

THIRD READING.

The Bill was read a third time.

PUBLIC ACCOUNTS COMMITTEE.

The House proceeded to consider the reports of the Select Committee on Public-Accounts.

The MINISTER OF FINANCE

moved that the second, fourth, sixth, seventh, eighth and tenth reports of the Select Committee on Public Accounts be now considered; and that (1) this House concurs in paragraph (2) of the eighth report, and resolves that the surplus on the year 1911-12 available for payment to the Public Debt Commissioners towards redemption of debt under section 5 of Act No. 18 of 1911 is £681,037 7s. 6d.; and (2) paragraphs (2), (4), (5), (6), and (7) of the second report, the whole of the fourth, sixth and seventh reports, paragraph (1) of the eighth report, and the whole of the tenth report be referred to the Government for consideration.

Mr. H. W. SAMPSON (Commissioner-street)

said that though some of the recommendations of the committee with regard to printing and stationery were very good he would draw the Minister’s attention to an important recommendation made to the committee with regard to the printing of the Government Gazette, whereby £5,000 a year, no inconsiderable sum, would be saved. The Government Printer, in the course of his evidence, stated: My suggestion would be to print the “Union Gazette” in English and Dutch separately. At the present time you have a huge “Gazette” such as this consisting of both English and Dutch, for which we charge £3 a year. If you agreed to a division it would only cost £1 10s. It would save £3,000 in paper, which comes to 100 tons, and that has all to be put into the Post Office. This suggestion could be carried still further. Departments must cut their printing down themselves—they know what can be printed and what not—and they must consider the most economical way of keeping their printing within the smallest limits. Take these sheep forms which I have mentioned—surely it would be possible to register sheep in some more economical way than that?

Mr. H. L. CURREY (George)

said he hoped that the Government, when considering these reports, would not put into effect the recommendation regarding the closing of the sleeper factories at Storms River. The committee took no evidence on the subject. In 1912 the Government took 62,000 sleepers, for which the Government paid 2s. 1½d. a piece, and 2s. 4½d. for creosoting the sleepers and administrative expenses. In view of the favourable reports on the sleepers by the General Manager of Railways and the Chief Railway Engineer, he hoped the House would not adopt the proposal of the hon. member for Cape Town, Central, who was never quite so happy as when he was putting a spoke in the wheel of any other port than Cape Town. (Laughter.)

Mr. J. W. JAGGER (Cape Town, Central):

Nonsense.

†Mr. J. M. RADEMEYER (Humansdorp)

urged that the recommendation in regard to the sleeper factory should not be accepted. The factories only used yellow wood, which could only be used as sleepers. A good purpose was being served by this factory, and he thought that after due consideration the Government would realise that this factory should not be closed. He also hoped that the Government would see the way to increase the price of sleepers by sixpence. The hon. member for Cape Town, Central, would not insist on the closing of the factory.

Mr. C. F. W. STRUBEN (Newlands)

said the forms used by the General Post Office were very badly printed.

The motion was agreed to.

NATAL INDIAN IMMIGRATION LAW AMENDMENT BILL.
SECOND READING.
The MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR ,

in moving the second reading of the Natal Indian Immigration Law Amendment Bill, said the Government did not see its way clear to make the Bill of general application. Meanwhile there was no doubt that hardship had been created by applying the poll tax to women, especially to those who were married. He honed the Bill would be accepted, because there was a general consensus of opinion in favour of its proposals. He would regret if at this late stage hon. members entered upon a long argument which would prevent Government giving relief in this matter.

Mr. H. M. MEYLER (Weenen)

said it was not fair that a matter of this sort should be brought up on what was believed to be the last day of the session. But if the Bill were to be forced through that would not be the last day of the session, as the Natal members would not weakly submit. Last year the tax was collected from only 42 women, for the Government was afraid to collect it from everyone liable. It was never the intention that the tax should be collected from women, and it had been one of the most disgraceful things that ever happened in Natal to force the women to pay this tax. But the women who lived an immoral life were compelled to pay this money because they had it to pay. The Government could deal with the matter perfectly well by means of administration, and it was unnecessary to bring in this Bill. Another objection to the measure was that it dealt with only one phase of the question, although Mr. Gokhale had been given to understand that the whole of this tax would be taken off. He moved that the Bill be read a second time this day three months.

Mr. J. A. NESER (Potchefstroom)

moved the adjournment of the debate.

Mr. P. G. W. GROBLER (Rustenburg)

seconded.

The motion was agreed to and the debate adjourned.

Mr. SPEAKER :

To what date?

The MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR :

This day week. (Laughter.)

The debate was accordingly adjourned until the 23rd June.

NATAL PUBLIC HEALTH ACTS (REENACTMENT AND AMENDMENT) BILL.

On the Order for the second reading of the Natal Public Health Acts (Re-enactment and Amendment) Bill,

The MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR

said that the intention of the Bill was to take the present position of affairs as it existed, and to give certain powers which had not been re-enacted to the Medical Officer of Health in Natal. As he understood, however, that it was desired to go into the wider question of the powers of Medical Boards and so forth, he did not intend to move the second reading of this Bill.

Mr. SPEAKER :

Then the Order falls away.

Business was suspended at 12.55 p.m.

AFTERNOON SITTING.

Business was resumed at 2.15 p.m.

BILLS DISCHARGED. The MINISTER OF FINANCE

said the next Order on the paper was the second reading of the Perpetual Annuities Bill. Some members had told him that there was the likelihood of a debate upon this subject, and, if that was so, there would be no possibility of the Bill passing this session. The same remarks applied to the Bewaarplaatsen Bill. The Government, however, would proceed with this at an early date next session. He begged to move, therefore, that these two orders be discharged.

The orders were accordingly discharged, and the Bills withdrawn.

COLLECTION OF STATISTICS BILL.
SECOND READING.
The MINISTER OF FINANCE

moved the second reading of the Collection of Statistics Bill. He pointed out that this was designed to get manufacturing and agricultural statistics during the interval between the census.

Mr. J. W. JAGGER (Cape Town, Central)

said he was extremely sorry that this was brought forward at this late stage of the session. They all recognised the value of having Statistics, but if they looked at the Bill, they would see the enormous powers which it gave to officials. These officials could come along—to himself even —and ask for full particulars regarding his business. He moved that the Bill be read three months hence.

The MINISTER OF FINANCE

said if his hon. friend took that line, he could not proceed with the Bill. He hoped, however, when his hon. friend met him again, he would not ask for statistics.

Mr. J. X. MERRIMAN (Victoria West)

said that before they proceeded with a Bill of this description, they ought to know exactly the lines upon which it would operate. He saw that it was intended to collect agricultural statistics, but farmers might resent being interviewed on the subject of their business. Farmers—he did not speak for commercial men, as they could look after themselves—had not a statistical bent of mind. He knew that from his own experience when the income tax was being collected. If time had permitted, he thought that this Bill should have been sent to a Select Committee.

Mr. J. HENDERSON (Durban, Berea)

also protested against an important matter of this kind being brought forward on the last day of the session. The Minister had said that the House would have to take the responsibility for not passing this Bill. He repudiated that. They had been urging the Government, almost for years, to bring forward a measure of this character. This rushing through of legislation was not good for the legislation of the country or the country itself. He moved that the Bill be read a second time this day three months.

Mr. C. HENWOOD (Victoria County)

seconded.

Mr. H. E. S. FREMANTLE (Uitenhage)

said he thought the Bill asked too much. He referred to a Conference that had taken place with regard to the collection of statistics, and if the Minister had adopted those recommendations they would have had proper statistics. He thought that it was unwise to trust a Government department in a matter of this kind. There was no reason why the Government should not proceed with the collection of statistics on the lines laid down by the Conference or on other lines.

Mr. H. W. SAMPSON (Commissioner-street)

said that statistics were urgently required, and he considered that the Bill should not be shelved. If they were going to deal with industrial matters next session as they hoped these statistics would be necessary.

The MINISTER OF MINES

moved the adjournment of the debate.

Mr. SPEAKER :

Until?

The MINISTER OF MINES :

This day week. (Laughter.)

ORDER OF BUSINESS. The MINISTER OF MINES

moved, as an unopposed order, that all the following orders stand over until No. 20 had been disposed of.

The motion was agreed to.

MINERS’ PHTHISIS ACT.

The adjourned debate on the motion for the amendment of the Miners’ Phthisis Act (1912) was resumed by

Mr. W. RUNCIMAN (South Peninsula),

who said he thought the House should welcome the opportunity of turning away from the slaughter of innocents in that House to the slaughter of innocents that was going on at the present time on the Witwatersrand. Since the time this debate was adjourned, the matter had been deliberately blocked by Government business, and they had now reached it more by good luck than by good management. He only hoped that the Minister of Mines would realise and agree with the serious view of the matter that was taken by that House. That was what they wanted to bring to the notice of the Government. The Minister did not seem to realise the gravity of the position on the Witwatersrand with regard to the men who were practically placed under his charge. There were 250,000 human beings on the mines who were practically dependent on the policy of the Minister of Mines. During that session there had been several disclosures, but the most important he thought was that with regard to the death rate among tropical natives, which was made by the Minister of Native Affairs when he said that the state of affairs was nothing short of murder. Therefore, it was their duty to find out who was responsible for the murder that was going on. That was the practical position. He thought that the country could congratulate itself on the result of the Bill that had been passed. It was only through the pressure of the public that the Government were able and did do something to minimise the great evil at their doors. Had they not deliberately raised their voices, he thought that little or no improvement would have taken place. Five or six Commissions were appointed, and yet nothing was done except the promulgation of some elaborate mining regulations that had been almost disregarded. They felt that Government had not done enough and that the scourge had not been wiped out. Public opinion in England had been awakened to the importance of the matter. One English paper had remarked that the figures sounded incredible. The British public looked to the Union Government to see that this horror was removed, and that was the object of the motion. He hoped something might be done for the good of our suffering humanity, and if that were done, Parliament’s five months’ labour would not have been in vain. (Hear, hear.) He admitted that the position on the mines had been improved, and that the companies had done their best, and if the Government would do its share, and try to bring about a better inspection, then people could look forward to this scourge being wiped out. He did not want to raise a scene in the House, or to incur the displeasure of the hon. member for Port Elizabeth, Central, but he said that unfortunately it was known when the mines were to be inspected—(Labour cheers) —and that was the real reason why the inspection was defective. If the Minister would only use his own common-sense, instead of following the advice of his experts, then a better state of things might be looked for. Government should have more inspectors, and he hoped that a commission would be appointed to inquire into the whole matter. (Hear, hear.)

The debate was suspended.

NATIVES LAND BILL.
SENATE’S AMENDMENTS.
Mr. SPEAKER

read a message from the Senate transmitting the Natives Land Bill, in which it had made certain amendments.

The MINISTER OF NATIVE AFFAIRS

moved that the amendments be considered.

Agreed to.

The amendments were agreed to.

MINERS’ PHTHISIS ACT.

The debate on the motion for the amendment of the Miners’ Phthisis Act was resumed.

†Mr. P. G. W. GROBLER (Rustenburg)

moved, as an amendment to the amendment proposed by Mr. Merriman, to omit the words, “to add at the end of the motion: and further to consider the advisability of,” and to substitute “to omit all the words after ‘advisability of’ in the original motion and to substitute”. The mover urged the necessity of every citizen of the State doing his utmost to decrease the ravages caused by miners’ phthisis. He was in favour of careful scientific enquiry, and pointed out what had been done at Panama in regard to other diseases. They had to rely to a very great extent on the mining industry, and it was their duty to do their utmost to see that the loss of life was as little as possible. After all they only knew of a certain number of cases of miners’ phthisis, and there must be a great many cases of which they never heard. They did not know how far the disease prevailed amongst natives, and on the whole he was in favour of supporting Mr. Merriman in asking for a scientific inquiry into the whole subject.

General L. A. S. LEMMER

seconded the amendment.

Mr. F. H. P. CRESWELL (Jeppe)

said he hoped the hon. member for Rustenburg would not press his amendment. The allowance of £8 a month given to men in the first stages of the disease had operated as they on those benches said it would last year, inasmuch as the allowance was barely enough for a man with responsibilities to live upon, and at the end of the year he was placed at a great disadvantage compared with the men who were fit in getting into employment. Better provision should be made, so that the Board would be able to deal with the review of old cases. The case of men who were resident abroad and were entitled to relief should be considered. As to the amendment of the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Merriman), last year, when the mover brought forward a similar proposal, he (Mr. Creswell) was very strongly against it, because he believed that the whole responsibility should lie with the Government, and that they should have a Government Department competent to deal with it. He still maintained that position, but he was inclined to agree to this extent, that they had not got a Government department competent to deal with it. Mr. Creswell went on to urge the need of much more expense being incurred, not only in the care of the natives in the hospitals, but in the medical supervision of the natives who were still at work, so that those who went underground should not be carrying tuberculosis with them. He submitted that an amendment of the regulations should be made, so that it would not be possible, while limiting the hours of work underground, to keep people underground for nights and days at one stretch. The hon. member wont on to say that the extract which the hon. member for South Peninsula had read from the English press showed that in England, and in the country where most of the shareholders of the mines lived, the facts about this industry were becoming known. It was his conviction that the people of Europe were not altogether callous, and that it would be found, when they realised that the dividends which were payable to them were represented in so much suffering and so much death, that the clientele of investors would be greatly attenuated, and a great blow would be given to the credit of the mines with the investing public. He wished to express his conviction that, so long as the mines were worked by private companies, whose only reason for existence was to make the biggest profit possible, they would not get a satisfactory state of affairs in regard to health. (Hear, hear.) Until the State took over these things into its own hands, and was able then to make health considerations the first, and allow no profit to be made until the health conditions were satisfactorily settled, he did not believe they would have any great amelioration. He supported the amendment of the right hon. gentleman, in the hope, though he had very little faith in phthisis commissions in these matters, that the Minister would take steps to appoint a commission of the most independent experts.

Mr. A. FAWCUS (Umlazi)

desired to support the amendment of the right hon. the member for Victoria West. These natives who were to be shut out from earning their living on the Rand could find healthy employment on the sugar plantations. Natal had been badly treated since she entered into Union. One misfortune was the stoppage of indentured Indians. If they could get these natives to work in the sugar plantations, that would be an advantage, both to Natal and to the natives. There was no doubt that natives were lured to work on the Rand by the promise of high wages, which the sugar planters could not afford to pay. The number of non-European workers on the sugar plantations was 18,000 men. Here was a healthy field to work in. The enormous expansion of the sugar industry was of extreme value, and he would ask the Minister to see if it were not possible to employ these poor fellows on the plantations.

Sir L. PHILLIPS (Yeoville)

said he could not let the debate close without saying a word or two upon the subject. Personally, he welcomed all the measures adopted to reduce the death-rate on the mines. Both from a humanitarian and an economic point of view, he thought it was desirable that conditions should be improved. He was glad that the Government had decided to stop the recruiting of tropical natives. It was the general belief that the death-rate was being reduced, but it was still so high that they were not justified in the employment of such labour. They must recognise, however, that a good deal had been done, and a good deal was being done. They were at present awaiting the report of Sir Almroth Wright. In his (Sir L. Phillips’) opinion, it was yet too early to make a final judgment upon the Act, which had really only been in operation for one year. As far as he knew, everything possible was being done to do away with dust. As a result of the methods now used, he had no doubt they would find considerable improvement, but it would take some time before the full effects of improvement were known. With regard to a statement made by the Minister of Native Affairs regarding the medical care of natives in compounds, most of these doctors were devoting their whole time to the work. This was one of the matters which he desired to pay attention to when he returned to the Rand. There was no ground, however, for saying that there was insufficient medical attention given to the natives in the compounds. The doctors employed by him devoted their whole time to their work. With regard to tuberculosis, it would, of course, be a good thing if they could prevent the natives expectorating, because a good deal of infection arose from that cause.

Continuing, he said he thought it would be a good thing if they could have a few experts who would continually look into these matters on the Rand. If they were going to have a Commission he hoped that the Minister would take care to pick out experts who were neither biassed in favour of the mines or one particular theory or another—men who would look at the matter from the standpoint of being able to do the greatest amount of good. He drew attention to the case of the Panama Canal, where wonders had been accomplished.

A LABOUR MEMBER :

State organisation.

Sir L. PHILLIPS (continuing)

said he did not think that mattered very much. Questions of sanitation and such like could be as well tackled by private owners as by the State. In Panama one of the greatest scourges was the fly, and they simply waged war against flies. It would, perhaps, do a lot of good if they got one of those Panama experts over here; he might be able to teach them something. Then they took great care that the food that came to Panama came from a clean centre. If they did such a thing on a wholesale scale on the Rand they would perhaps hear screams from hon. members on his left against injuriously affecting the interests of people who supplied the natives with food at eating houses. There were places, however, where there were far too many flies, and he thought a great deal might be accomplished by means of homely fly paper and screens. In conclusion, Sir Lionel gave the House the assurance that everyone on the Rand was as anxious as anyone in that House to see the health conditions on the mines improved, and said there was no reason why surprise visits could not be paid at the present time seeing that many of the mines were connected with each other

Mr. J. X. MERRIMAN (Victoria West)

said he felt that it would be a reproach on that House if they allowed the session to come to an end without discussing this very important matter. They had discussed so many trivial matters that it would be a reproach on them if they disregarded this question, which affected the lives of hundreds of thousands of men. He did not think that matters, since they first discussed the question had improved at all. He rather thought that the condition of affairs had become worse, even if they left alone the point dealing with the tropical natives. He was understood to say that as far as they could make out from the imperfect statistics the death-rate on the Rand was about 28 per thousand. The death rate at Panama was 28 per thousand. The worst of it was that they had no actual statistics as to the white death rate, and they could only piece statistics together from the Miners’ Phthisis Report. They did not know how many people died, and they could only form the uneasy idea that the white death rate was very high indeed. He fully agreed with the hon. gentleman who had just spoken that from the lowest point of view the state of affairs was thoroughly bad. Although the committee that sat upstairs was anxious to do all it could nobody would be justified, after reading the evidence of the doctors and the statistics of the Miners’ Phthisis Commission, to even suggest that they should pour down the shafts masses of white unskilled labourers. He must say that as far as they had been able to follow the statistics— he did not know who was to blame, but the statistics were shocking—they could not tell how many natives died of phthisis. As far as they had been able to gather, the natives worked from six to nine months. The native had a greater power for throwing off phthisis, but he died from pneumonia and other diseases. With regard to the report of the Native Affairs Department, they did not find that phthisis had increased, at least not in the majority of cases. These reports did not even show that tuberculosis had increased to such an extent as some people seemed to imagine, and the Magistrates would surely report any big increase. In many cases it was shown that it was children who died from it—gone to overcrowded schools, got wet, and returned to their ordinary habits of life. The hon. member proceeded to refer to figures with regard to Panama, which were given by Mr. Evans. During the French occupation, when Panama became a byword in the world, the death-rate was 50 per thousand, while their death rate in certain classes and in certain years had been higher than that. The death rate of 50 per thousand was sufficient to make Panama a byword in the world. When the Americans took control in 1907 it was 29 per thousand, which was considered a shocking death rate. It was less than the rate on many of the mines at present. So far as the State was concerned, he would point out that we had more control over the mines on the Witwatersrand than the Americans had at Panama. A mining man who wrote to him the other day said that the mines were really over-regulated. Almost every week, he wrote, some fresh regulation came out and the managers were so hampered and pestered by these regulations that they could not follow them up. If they tackled this matter in the way the Americans had tackled Panama—with the same force, the same vigour, and in the same way—they would achieve the same results. The Americans had reduced the mortality from 28 per 1,000 to 6.93 per 1,000. In 1912 there were 12,500 Europeans employed in the canal zone, and their mortality from disease was only 4.6 per 1,000, while the mortality among the 4,500 women and children was only 3.85 per 1,000. If we could only get anywhere near these figures, what an achievement that would be.

The suggestion he brought forward was made in no hostile spirit. He was told that if the proposals made by the hon. member opposite and the hon. member for Zoutpansberg were lost, then his (Mr. Merriman’s) amendment could not be put; that was the reason the hon. member for Rustenburg proposed his amendment. The most practical course we could adopt was to get the highest expert knowledge in the world. We had improved, but not enormously. We might have lessened one form of disease—miners’ phthisis, but pneumonia had been increased owing to the great difference in the temperature in the mines, especially in the winter, as compared with that on the surface. No wonder that the miners died like flies from pneumonia. Our natives were made of far better material than those who worked on the Panama Canal, for the former were probably as healthy and vigorous as any natives to be found anywhere. He was in hopes that the Government would take up the matter with some spirit, but instead of that he had a very discouraging reply from the Minister of Mines, who did not seem to grasp the importance of the question. The Minister stated that the Department would look into the matter. When he (Mr. Merriman) heard of a Department looking into anything, his spirits sank, because he knew that nothing would be done. We should try to obtain one of the most competent men that Col. Gorges could lend us. The hon. member for Denver (Dr. D. Macaulay) had told him that there was a noted expert in England—Dr. Haldane— who had recently been employed to investigate the ventilation of the mines for the British Government. A great deal was being done to improve the condition of affairs by the adoption of the single shift system, under which the mines had time to rest, but he supposed that that was uneconomical. Don’t let the Government say, “You are asking us to get out experts,” for this was a matter of life and death. Already we had an expert here to tell us where to find oil—he (Mr. Merriman) hoped the expert would. We had also two experts regarding lamziekte. But this was a matter dealing with the lives of two or three hundred thousand men. This was one of the most serious matters that had come before the House this session, and it should be looked into in some practical way. (Hear, hear.)

Sir T. W. SMARTT (Fort Beaufort)

said everyone was sympathetic towards the proposal, for they all deplored that an industry on which the financial prosperity of the country largely rested should be associated with a heavy loss of life. The conditions to be dealt with were far more difficult than those which had to be coped with on the Panama Canal, for at the latter place the men worked on the surface, and it was found that yellow fever was due to mosquitoes, and all that had to be done was to destroy the breeding places of the mosquitoes. He had no objection to the proposal of the right hon. member for Victoria West, but he did not know that they were going to get very much from the reports of experts, because in 1907 the Transvaal Government appointed a Commission which inquired into the matter for two years or more. But what good would experts’ reports do if we were not going to place any dependence on the Department? What would do more good would be for the Government to keep the Department up to the mark and get it to exercise constant supervision over the mines. The Department must see that the regulations were carried out. Another very important point was that Government should be able to lay before the House, when it met again, careful and accurate statistics, so that hon. members could find out whether it was necessary to have fresh legislation, and also whether the terms of compensation were fair to both miners and mine owners.

The MINISTER OF MINES

said he wished to assure the House that nothing he or the Department could do would be neglected to see that the regulations were efficiently carried out, and that proper statistics and information would be laid before the House. The impression had been created that Government was not doing anything in this matter. Only this morning, however, he received a report from the Miners’ Phthisis Prevention Committee. This was the third report of the Committee, and it dealt more particularly with the investigation of the amount of dust in the mines and the character of that dust. He thought it would be of interest to the Committee if he shortly summarised this report to the House. The first difficulty that they had to deal with was to find an instrument which could measure the amount of dust in the air. It was found—and this was a discovery which had been made on the Witwatersrand—that it was only the very fine dust which got into the lungs, and that it was no use having an instrument which took all the bigger particles in the air as well. They had to eliminate the large particles in order to determine the amount of very fine dust. The result was that they found that respirators were practically of no use whatsoever. (Hear, hear.) In the course of their report, the Committee said that they had made numerous experiments with different types of respirators in order to test their efficiency. Where the amount of dust in the air was small the efficiency was fairly good in one or two cases. Where the amount of dust in the air was high, say about 50 milligrammes, the respirators failed to catch the dust. The best result was obtained in one case, where the dust amounted to six milligrammes. The Committee added that, on the whole, the experiments demonstrated that respirators were not efficient as dust catchers. The second problem which they put themselves was: what was the relative efficiency of using pure water and water mixed with molasses? They had come to the conclusion that pure water was more efficient. They said it was possible that molasses might form a sort of sponge in parts of the mine, and catch up the dust where water was used, but it had got certain disadvantages on the other hand, and, on the whole, water was the best.

Then another series of experiments was made, to find out the amount of dust at different times in the mines, before blasting, after blasting, during drilling, etc. They found that the most serious dust was created by the blasting—(hear, hear)—and then by the drilling. (Hear, hear.) They said that repeated microscopic examination of the lungs of silicosis victims had been made, and comparisons had been instituted between the physical characteristics of the extraneous mineral matter in these lungs and those of dust arising from various mining operations. At the present time, it might be provisionally stated that dust originated by blasting most closely resembled the dust incarcerated in silicosic lungs. Dump dust, dust from compounds and streets, were not characteristics present in silicosic lungs. They gave a comparison of dust in the streets of Johannesburg and Paris and other places, and pointed out that, under the new conditions of the mines, comparison was not unfavourable to the mines. But there was this to be said—that the particles of dust in the streets of Johannesburg, or Cape Town, or Paris might be comparatively high, but it was not that particular kind of dust which caused injury to the lungs.

There was one other conclusion to which he must draw the attention of the House, and that was, how far the bacillus of tuberculosis was communicated underground. The Miners’ Phthisis Commission expressed the opinion that the conditions underground were of such a nature that the bacillus could not live there very long, and that tuberculosis, which superimposed on the disease of silicosis, was communicated above-ground. He was afraid that this conclusion was, to a certain extent, not proved by the further investigations. (Hear, hear.) As this was a very important matter, he took the liberty to read the paragraph from the report, which was as follows: “For this purpose (that was, of finding the amount of bacillus of tuberculosis underground) samples of expectorated material had been collected from the ladderways, stations, and ways underground, and from the compounds, single quarters, and beer halls on the surface. Of 322 specimens examined, 120 have been obtained on the surface and 202 underground. Of the surface specimens, about 2.5 per cent. have been found to contain the bacillus, and of the underground specimens about 15 per cent. have been found to be similarly infected. As far as they have gone, these investigations appear to justify the assertion that the underground workings are infected to a certain extent with the bacillus of consumption, and that the ladder ways are especially infected.” That was a conclusion, the Minister went on to say, that made one seriously to think. (Hear, hear.) How it could be avoided he did not know. He thought it would be interesting to the House to see what progress had been made in the allaying of dust in the mines. He had a return for the period 1903 to 1912. The figures were given in milligrammes. At the working places in dry mines in 1903, the dust was calculated at 400; in 1904, 450; and in 1912, 100. In another mine the amount had been reduced in 1912 to 60, and in another, 15 to 30. He thought a fall from 450 in 1903 to 15 to 30 in 1912 was satisfactory.

Mr. J. W. JAGGER (Cape Town, Central):

Is that general?

The MINISTER OF MINES :

Oh, yes. This return will be published shortly. He went on to say that the samples taken from dry holes, wetted or sprayed drives, in 1903 averaged 50, which figure had now been reduced to 10 to 15. Another series of experiments made in wet or sprayed drives, where water got into the holes, gave in 1903 an average of 40, which had now been reduced to 4 to 8. In the stopes in 1903 in the dry stopes the amount of dust was 25. Now it was in a thoroughly wet drive from 3 to 8. As to shovelling in stopes, dry rock, it was 5 to 30 and wetted rock 2 to 5, and, as the regulations now insisted upon no shovelling taking place without the stuff being thoroughly wetted, they had got this reduced item now. Blasting in a particular mine in 1903 was 90. In a mine where there was no means for allaying dust after blasting in 1912 the figure was 200 to 550. With sprays in the same mine that was reduced from 30 to 90. Where they sprayed a quarter of an hour after blasting, the amount of dust had been reduced in some cases from 5 to 50. In another case, where they sprayed for half an hour after blasting the average was about 20. He thought all this showed that great progress had been made. There was another question which had been raised by the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Merriman) as to whether this copious use of water in the mines now under the temperature that there was underground was not a contributory cause to pneumonia, more especially among natives. A study of the report in his hand would convince them that they were not sitting still and that investigations were being made. The right hon. the member for Victoria West had referred to Panama, but the cases were dissimilar. At the same time he thought that something might be done with regard to the cleanliness of food. In Panama they had provision trains, where the food was all wrapped up, but they could not do that on the Rand. He did not know whether the companies could not do more than they were doing. The hon. member for Umlazi urged the point that these tropical natives might be employed in the sugar plantations. He thought that there was a good deal to be said in support of such a statement, but the Immigration Act as it now stood prevented this. As regarded the appointment of a further Commission, the Minister pointed out that they had five Commissions during the past seven years. Two reports were still being awaited. One was the report of the Tuberculosis Commission, and he thought that they should wait until they had this report. He hoped that House would accept the amendment of the hon. member for Rustenburg.

Mr. W. B. MADELEY (Springs)

said that he knew that their persistence in this matter had aroused feelings of annoyance, but the speech of the Minister which they had just listened to, fully and amply justified their attitude. The House was now infinitely better informed with regard to Miners’ phthisis as a result of this persistence than it was when the Act was passed. The committee now found that this respirator was of no use. One of the strongest arguments was that this Act would induce men to use these respirators. The Minister himself had admitted that spraying instead of preventing the disease rather helped it. What argument was, therefore, left for the contributory principle in the Act. He honestly believed that in the present temper of the House, if that Bill were reintroduced, the contributory principle would be thrown out altogether and the whole onus would be thrown upon those who made their profits out of the work that killed these men daily. The hon. member for Yeoville stated that if they eliminated the deaths among the tropical natives they would find a tremendous improvement in the death rate, but the right hon. the member for Victoria West destroyed that argument when he stated that the death rate was 29 per 1,000. That was an excessively high death rate. The right hon. the member for Victoria West made a comparison between Panama and the Rand, because there they had kept down the death rate to 3 per cent., but he would like to point out that in Panama they had complete Government control.

Proceeding, he gave another contrast. He hoped they would bear in mind that the death-rate of those other than tropical natives was 29 per 1,000. In that week’s mail papers they had the death-rate given of 33 of the largest towns in the British Isles and in the City of London—the most congested and largest city on the face of the globe—taking all stages of the population, there was a death-rate of 12 per 1,000, and considerably less than the remainder of the natives to which the hon. member for Yeoville had referred almost with glee. Amongst other natives, not tropical, they had a death-rate two and two-thirds larger than the largest and most congested city in the world. And those natives were picked men, on paper at any rate, for they had to undergo special medical examination —men in the prime of life. Whilst they were considering these natives, he would like to draw attention to the fact that, in answer to a question, a member of the Government stated deliberately in the House that, since the introduction of the Miners’ Phthisis Compensation Act, one native had received compensation. Did any Minister or any member of the mining industry care to contend that only one native had died from miners’ phthisis on the Rand?

Continuing, the hon. member contended that a very good case had been made out for the necessity of amending the Miners’ Phthisis Act, in the respect that more speedy relief should be given to those men. It had been stated that it was a matter of administration. But it was not all a matter of speedy relief. The matter of adequate relief was an urgent matter for the legislation of that House. There was no adequate compensation for the men in the first stage of the disease. No fewer than 700 men were scrapped annually in the first stage of the disease, and how was it possible for so many, although only slightly affected, to obtain work? There should be no question of stages, but there should be full compensation granted to the men, whether in the first, second, or still more advanced stages of the disease. It was agreed that the Board must be bound by the spirit of the Act. The Act said that compensation should be £8 a month, and it provided also that the Board may, in its discretion, vary the award. The Act, in order to be complete, should ensure that the men should get the full amount in a lump sum, so that they might build up a business or do something to assist themselves or their dependants in the future. They should be primarily entitled to a lump sum.

The House had been astonished to hear that they had a death-rate of over 100 per 1,000 in the case of tropical natives, and in the case of other natives, 29 per 1,000. What would the House think of the statement made to a pressman by Mr. Moynahan, a prominent engineer connected with the mining industry, to the effect that the white death-rate underground was very much higher than that obtaining amongst the tropical natives? “That is an astounding statement,” said the interviewer. “Yes,” was the answer, “but not so astounding as the fact that no one has yet made it.” Leaving those repatriated out (continued Mr. Madeley), he found that the death-rate amongst the whites employed underground amounted to no less than 160 per 1,000. With that ringing in the ears of hon. members of that House (concluded the speaker)—a death-rate of 29 per 1,000 amongst natives, not tropical, and over 100 per 1,000 in the case of tropical natives—he called upon them to see that more adequate and more speedy relief should be granted, and that the onus in the future should be thrown upon the shoulders of those who profited by the death of those men.

Mr. SPEAKER

said he would submit the motion in this way. First, to omit all the words in the motion of the hon. member for Springs after the words “advisability of” to allow of the amendments of the hon. members for Zoutpansberg and Rustenburg to be put.

Mr. SPEAKER

then put the question that all the words after “advisability of” in the original motion proposed to be omitted stand part of the motion, and declared that the “Noes” had it.
