President Pieter Botha declared a state of emergency July 21 in 36 black areas in an attempt to quell the violence. Union officials said at least 14 miners had been injured by police and private security officials firing shotguns, rubber bullets and tear gas since the strike over wages be­ gan Sunday and that at least 88 miners and strike organizers had been arrested. "They have been faced with dogs, baton charges, rubber bullets and tear gas," a spokeswoman for the union said early Tuesday. "They have started dimlssals. There are mass sackings. We didn't expect the mines to-be turned into army camps." Union leader Cyril Ramaphosa, who had threatened to call some 350,000 miners out in sympathy with the strikers, Tuesday conceded that response to the strike call had weakened. Spokeswoman Manoko Nchwe said the union stood by its charge, denied by mining company officials, that miners had been marched to work a t gunpoint and others whipped or beaten. "Since yesterday, strikers have not b£en given food and they have been prevented from going out to get their own food," said a union official in Witbank, about 50 miles from Johannesburg.
