"Weimer to Basel"
Item Details
Title:
"Weimer to Basel"
Description
The letter is quoted in extenso but not completely as an annex to the annual report of 1876 (p 117-118). Additional material in the manuscript includes the following, mostly about labour troubles: Once their workers had got a certain degree of skills they were showing themselves quite unashamed about demanding more pay, and if they did not get it, leaving the work. In quite a short time Weimer has had three different apprentice sawyers to train. 2 sawyers from outside Kwahu have recently left, although they are paying higher wages than they could get on the coast. Reasons which he has obviously heard for the dissatisfactions of workers from the coast are that they don’t like living with different tribe.
