To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Those working on the mines had their pay reduced by Government proclamation to a maximum of 1 a month ; nevertheless, they continued working at the reduced scale, without resistance or any attempt at an indus- trial strike. The Government endeavoured to enact a regu- lation compelling private householders to pay no more for native domestic servants than the sum of 1 a month ; but as this was an infringement on the liberty of the subject, the authorities were forced to withdraw their proclamatio...n. It must not be supposed, however, that although the natives continued to work on during the period of the war at their reduced wage they were satisfied. Far from it. On the day that the Field Marshal's forces entered Johannesburg, thousands of the natives along the district were excitedly discussing amongst themselves the probability of fairer treat- ment being meted out to them, of higher rates of pay being given, and even in some instances it was confidently antici- pated that the British Government would redress all their grievances, and pay up all the arrears between their reduced wages and that they had been accustomed to receive prior to the war.
