THE "HALF-TRAINED" NURSE SOUTH WALES NURSING ASSOCI- ATION MEETING. INTERESTING DISCUSSION AT SWANSEA. A largely attended meeting, convened by Lady Llewelyn, in connection with the j South Wales Nursing Association, was held at St. James' Hall, Swansea, on Friday af- ternoon. In the absence of Lady. Llewelyn, Miss Llewelyn presided, and apologised for her mother's inability to attend through indisposition. Lady Llewelyn, however, had title meeting very much at heart and wished the movement, every possible suc- cess. Miss Llewelyn was supported on the platform by Lady St. David's, Lady Lyons, Mrs. M. B Williams, Mrs. Elswoxth, Miss Dillwyn, Miss Smith, Q.V.J.N.I., and Miss Epps (superintendent). There were pre- sent (guests of Sir John Llewelyn), Lady St. David's, the Bsm. Lady Cowell Stepney, Lady Lloyd, of Bronwydd, Hon. Mrs. Cooper-Coles, Mrs. Pryse Rice, Miss EHnor Smith (inspector for Wales); Miss Hewat (Lady Lyons' guest), Mrs. Gannons Wil- liams, Mrs. Herbert Thompson and Miss Epps (guests of Mrs. Elsworth). and the Rev. D. Davies (Mrs. Turbervill's guest). Others present were: The Mayoress (Mrs. David Matthews), Miss Gladys Llewelyn, the Hon. Mrs. T. Rice, Miss Brook, Mrs. Lati&.mr, Mrs. T. P. Richards, Mrs. Lan- caster, Mrs. John Glasbrook, Mrs. H. C. Gadsden, Miss Dixon, Mrs. Turbervill, Mrs. Dr. Griffiths. Mrs. Aeron Thomas, the Hon. Rev. Talbot Rice. Mr. Joseph Hall, Dr. Griffiths, nr. Morris (Neath), Dr. Eben Davies, Rev. D. Williams (Mor- riston), etc. The object of the association is to train nurses for the C.M. Board, and to draft them into rural districts, and so raise the standard of nursing. In many district of this kind it is impossible to raise a sum sufficient for the services of a jubilee (Queen Victoria) nurse, but this scheme is to affiliate with the "Q.V.J.N.S. by which means the association will be able to supply them, provided there is no lack of funds. It is htoped that Swansea will contribute. Lady St. David's (who is in entire sym- pathy with the movement) spoke of the many advantages in carrying out the work. ,MiS.<; Smith ga.ve a very interesting ad- dress on the work being done, and Misp Epps (superintendent) on the man- ner of the course of training. Ðr. Morris (Neath) was not altogether in favour of the scheme, as he was of the opinion that it did a-way to a. great extent with the services of the medical profes- sion. Dr. Griffiths also was averse to the stigma of charitable nursing, and maintained that patients ought to pay according to their means, if tihey were to have efficient nurses, and surely the services of snch were invaluable. He asked if it would not be wiser to give liberal pay aad have morses fully qualified than haif-fcrained ones for less. He did not approve of tie idea of the nurse being in the entire hands of the association. If. qualified I1Ùbt) should be able to command. Mrs. Lancaster also disapproved, and thought it better to have no nurse at aU than a half-trained one, and hoped it would 8Jt be encouraged in Swansea. Lady St. David's said, although in sym- pathy with Mrs. Lancaster, it was a bless- ing in cases of emergency to have anyone with even a slight knowledge of how to af- ford relief. Although these discussions arose, the meeting terminated harmoniously, and those present were afterwards entertained to tea. v. -0.>, '6 n

CWMLL YNFELL COLLIERS. I IMPORTANT CASE AT PONTAEDAWE.! j QUESTION OF ASCEKTALNIN G WAGES DUE. At Pontardawe on Friday, Griffith R&es and nine other men were cnarged with ob- senting themselves from work at, Cwmllyn- I fell Colliery on September 30th and otner dates, the is urns claiiiued Hanging llrom £1 7s. 2d. to H2 7s. bd. Mr. Kensiiole (Aberdare) prosecuted, and Mi'. Clarke Williams defended. Mx. Williams lirst submitted that the articles of agreement between the men and employers put the case out of magisterial jurisdiction. The magistrates decided against thus, but took note oi Mr. Williams' ODJ action. Mr. Kcnshole said that the first claim was for L2 5s., and there was also a further olaim, the first that had been before the court, that the wages earned by and due ] to the men should be ascertained. Mr. Williams (interposing) objected tiiat j wren two changes were preferred plainluf must p'f<xveeu on t,ne oruv. Mr. Kenshole replied that these proceed- ings were under the Employers and Work- men's Aot, which gave power to the bench to sit as a Civil Court. The Court also decided against this claim, but noted the objection. Mr. Ken&hole said the men were absent on September 25th, which was Miners' De- monstration Day. On November 12th, they ceased work becaaise they had heard of a fatality at anothea- vpit. November 15th was the day of the funeral of the man who had been killed. The men came to the pit, held a meeting, and pajssed a resolution not to go down to work. The manager in- formed them that he was prepared to let them out at two o'clock instead of three o'clock, which would have been ample time for them to attend the funeral, which was fixed for fotrr o'clock. The men stopped j on November 23rd because there had õoon a rumour of a dispute with two-pf the men on the screen. The totai amount lost was JB110 15s. 8d., and the claim against Gar if- fith Rees was £2 5s. Mr. Kenshole asked also that the Court should decide what amount was due to the men and use it to offset the employers' claim. Geo. Wm. Liddon (manager) said he con- sented to let the men off tho Saturday night shift for the demonstration, but re- fused to let them off on the Friday night shift. Also 42 of the men did not go down to work. Cross-examined by Mr. Williams: He did not admit that the last shift before Satur- day was always a day shift. Evidence was offered by Mr. Thomas (one I of the proprietors), Messrs. W. Davies (fire- man), David Morgan (district secretary of the Miners' Federation), Thomas Samuel, Morgan Harris, David Isaac Griffiths, Dd. Griffiths, and W. Morgan, the custom cf abstaining from work when fatal accidents and funerals occur being the main objec- tive of the last witnesses. Mr. Kenshole agreed that this custom ) prevailed, but held that the accident had occurred in another pit; Mr. Clarke Wil- liams contended that in this case the two pits were practically the same. After a very long hearing, Judgment was given for the company for t Li 2s. 6d. for breaches of contract on Sep- tember 24 (the stoppage of the men on the Friday before the miners' demonstration I day), and for a breach of contract on Nov- ember 27 (stoppage owing to a dispute with screenmen). Company'c claim for stoppage on November 15 and 17 in connection with the fatal accident and funeral of a man in one of the pits when certain repairs were being carried out were disallowed. Six of the oases were allowed to be sub- ject to this decision, but four of the cases J were further adjourned owing to the absence of an important witness through illness and difference of the circumstances. A further batch of colliery cases in which nineteen men were summoned for absenting themselves from the South Wales Primrose Colliery on January 12 (damages claimed, R,4 4s. 9d. per man) were adjourned tJl next court.

I x WANTED TO WITHDRAW. I SUMMONSES AGAINST PONTARDUIiAlS COLLI FJiS. MIL HENRY THOMPSON AND THE BENCtE.

Mr Hy. Thompson, who reprpsented the company, asked leave to withdraw a.U these charges Proceedings had at first been taken with extreme reluctance against some of these men, who had been in their employ far a long tame. One, n-aaned. Thomas Wit- liams, was nearly 70 yeairs of age, and been employed by the company for something like 50 years, and bore a most excellent char- aefcer. Mr. Thompson aaid proceedings had been taken by way of reprimand.t But since then the conduct of the men had been all that ootdd possibly be desired. They had expressed sincere regret Only during the last few months had safety lamps been used. After consultation, the Chairman said tihey did not, consider they would be acting wisely, or even rightly even—<Mr Thompson: "Oh !"— if tà-ay allowed the first two charges to be withdirawn. As Mr. Thompson was not prepared to go on with the cases, they were adjourned for a fortnight. Theo, sir, yon shall have f the pleasure of inflicting a penalty," said Mr Thompson;.1 Mr Walters assured Mr Thompson that it would be no pleasure to tTsom to inflict a penalty. If extenuating circumstances could be shown the penalty wootid, at all events, be light. Mr Thompson: I withdraw the word "plea- sure," sir; the word "opportunity" might be more appropriate. more appropriate. Mr Walters: I should probably object to that word also. j Mr Thompson (gracefully): Would you, sir? Then I should witihdtraw that word also, and seek for another.

It was said that defendant was very anx- ious to have his wife back, and as the pair had only been married for five months i (though they began quarrelling on the very first day), the case was adjourned for a month to await developments.

A "DARING" SUGGESTION. HOW TO GET TO TOWN HILL. "Excelsior" (Swansea) writes:—-Your cor- respondent, "Progressive," makes what is certainly "a daring suggestion" as to a new means of approach to Town Hill. It is a means of approach to Town Hill. It is a suggestion, however, which is not likeiy to appeal to the ratepayers, so long as one much simpler and less expensive can be devised. A scheme has long suggested itself to my mind, and I think'the time is now riipe for giving it expression. The easiest approach to Town Hill is from the Uplands, by means of a road ailong the top of Cwmdonkin Park to Harding's Farm. The oourso of the road would be up Wind- sor-terrace (say half-way), then turn to the night through the field that is now being set out for road-making and building, across the top of the park, and afterwards following I the cart track through the gardens to the fields of Harding's Farm. The gradient of such a road would easily pernut of tramway. extension on the present system. Ir this suggestion comrade itsai* to our council lt shouid be acted upon at OT106. The field opposite Windsor-terrace is OThOB. The field opposite Windsor-terrace is bemg rapidly develop, and building the,, may add to the inconvenience and expense of adopting this scheme. Such a road would maice possible the speedy development of +lie Corporation estate.

I ARE DANYGFAIG PLAYERS BEING POACHED? Dauygraig (writes ''Follower'"), who are only rewarded with poor gates, and have to tace heavy expenses, besides losing many of their prominent players, are to be corii- piimen-ted upon the uphill fight which they ard making for the furthe.rance of Rugby in I the district. The greate.t, grievance is the transfer- ence of the Danvgraig players to the Swansea II. No less than rune Danygraig players have assisted Swansea 11. this season. Six of tbeae played right to the end of last season, and some of them are still playing. These men are told if they do not assist the Seconds they will not get promotion to the first team. Surely there are enough League teams in the dis- trict from which players could be found without endeavouring to cripple the Dany- graig Club? It may be news to many to know that the Welsh Rugby Union, just before Xmas, held an inquiry as to why a oertai.1 Valley Football C'tub played men without ^mission or transfer, and no less thui five players haw left Danygraig to play for this club, who haw only secured the transfer of one. It was proved at the inquiry that things were not ae they should be, and that a few had received work there. Furthermore, one ot the members of the Union, at the inquiry, stated he heard some very peculiar remarks about how tilings were arranged whan coming up by train that evening by the delegates going- to a football meeting. The Union Committee suggested a course of acticn, but the Danygraig Committee refused to take it and threw the onus upon the Union. Previous to this inquiry, Pon- tarda,we endeavoured to cancel their match with Danygraig on February 29th because of the inability of Danygraig to fix amother t, match at Pontarda.we in lieu of the match abandoned earlier in the season. The Danygraig Committee did not agree to th", cancelling, and furthermore the Welsh Union secretary has stated that the match, being a fixture, cannot be broken off. Had Danygraig taken things meekly and quietly, instead of holding to their rights of being recognised, there would have been no talk of cancelling, and there is as much poach- ing going on anrongst Welsh Chiba as there are by Northern Union emissaries. The Danygraig Committee are being blamed in certain quarters for allowing the big Soccer match last Saturday on their I ground. They are to be complimented that fhey at any rate were not prejudiced, and that they, by their action,, allowed thou- sands to see a match for which there was a demand. It will be seen at once the diffi- culties that continually Ijeset the commit- tee of'the Danygraig Club, many of whom pay their own train fare to away matches. I cannot praise the members too much. I have intimate knowledge of their trials and troubles, and were it not for th-air loyalty and devotion the Club wo-uld have ceased long ago. The Danygraig Club, notwithstanding all the migration of players, have only been beaten three times this reason, and too much credit cannot be paven to the players who have remained loyal to the club, and of these one is bound to mention J. Ward nt and Bob WiHiams. The team at present is capable of meeting the best of clubs, and with support from the football-loving public will again do great things. I Panygrajg have four home matches in succession, so that the chib could be very materially helped if the public will nnlv rally around them. The committee deserve every support-.
