ELECTRIC AGE !
ELECTRIC AGE MARVELS OF MODERN SCIENCE SWANSEA LECTURES The human race ha.s known a stone age, a, bronze age, an iron and steel age, but undoubtedly the present should be called the electric age, for electricity more and more permeates its life. Thus, the course of three Chad wick lectures, the first 01 which was given on Friday evening in the Swansea Albert (Minor) Hall, on Electricity and National Progress, are of vital interest and importanoe. Mr. 1J. T. Davidge, M.I.E.E. (professor of electricity at the Ordnance College, Woolwich), is right in line with scien- tific and industrial progress when deal- i mg with electricity and the work, elec- tricity and the health, electricity and j the food of the nation. Mr. T. J. Rees i,Director of Education) pldell at the first lecture, which drew together a crowded and intensely inter- estod audienc. If. as stated, on the sue- cess of this series of lectures depends the coming of a new era in extra university courses for Swansea, then that new era i., already assured. SOURCES OF POWER. Having told of the bequest of Sir Will. Chadwick, and explained the aims of the Chadwiek Trust, especially as applied to lectures of a popular and practical char- acter, dealing with the physical well- being ot the community, Mr. Davidjje pointed out that all the necessaries of life have to be won by labour. This is not now done efficiently, and the aim of the lectures was to how how improvident we sicre, and to indicate the direction of im- provement. lie described various sources of power. First, streams. One cubic foot of water tailing 11 teet generated an equivakat of cue horse power. The use of fides was not practicable to any extent in this country. Wind and oil were brought under review, but for practical purrees our choice was reduced to one element- (oal, or boxed sunshine." I COAL AND ITS PRODUCTS. The lecturer had with him a lump 01 coal, weighing one pi^und, and he pointed out that there was power in it, if used exhaustively, to raise twelve miliion tons to the height of! one foot 1. Ho also treated illuminatively of the various by-products of coal—sulphate of ammonia, cyanide of .-odium, etA, and dwelt on the necessity of conserving coal supplies. Coal products were now, he said,.mostly thrown away. Of especial interest to Swansea were I he limelight pictures illustrating the. Cotteril Electrical Process of dispersing and utilising tnioke and fumes from cement works. I VALUE OF ELECTRICITY. The health-giving advantages of a town in which all 'the factories and fur- naces would be electrically tiuppiied, all houses electrically lighted and heated, und ail traction electric, Were dilated on And the proposal to establish 16 bit oen- tral stations for the whole county ex- plained. Swansea had been asking for university recognition for her college said Mr. Davidge. He was told that the report of the Commissiou would come out next week, and he believed it would ?ive all they asked for. (Loud applause). He suggested that an additional subject for Swansea might be the best means of uti- lising the water power of Wales so that those who wished to utilise stream6 would oome to look to Swansea as the only source of information, on how to secure the most power at the minimum expense; A letter he had received from Mr. Owen M. Edwards, from a place that he did not care to attempt the pronuncia- tion of—(laughter)—showed that there they had been able, by utilising water powpr, to obtain all their light at less wst than usd to be paid for oil lamps. THE NEXT LECTURE. Mr. Davidgo announced that in the next lecture he would treat on electricity in the human body under the title of Electricity and the Health of the Nation." The lectures are open to all. and there is no collection, and it is not improbable that before the series is con- eluded, the large hall will have to be taken over To a reporter of the "Cambria Daily Leader," at the close of the lecture, Prof Davidge expressed entire satisfaction at the reception given to the opening lecture. He said the L.E.A. had sent invitationgi to all the works, and done everything they could to arouse interest; and the l interest was undoubtedly there Prof. Davidge thinks that the special subject of utilisation of the water-power l of Welsh stre&ms might well form a special subject for the curriculum of the re-organised Swansea College.
SWANSEA BOWLS. I - i
SWANSEA BOWLS. I Council to be Asked to Re-open all! the Greens. The annual meeting of the Swanw-a I Bowling League was held at the Guildhall on Friday evening, when Mr. J. R. Palmer presided. The advisability of carrying I on during the forthccming sen«on was discussed, and it was decided to n?ik the Council to open all the greens. With this object ?n view, the Executive Coundl were asked to wait upon the Parks Com- mittee. All the officers were re-elected. and the name of Mr. C. R-,ithen wa.s added to the lift of vice-presidents. The greai success of last year's tournament induced the Executive to recommend that a simi- lar competition be held this year, nnd this was unanimously approved of by the dele- gates. It is the "ntention of the League Authorities to establish the first week of August as an annual bowls week, when it is hoped that most of the crack bowlers of South Wales will compete in the singles, pairs, and rink championships.
.FINDING EMPLOYMENT.I
FINDING EMPLOYMENT. I The Swansea Chamber of Commerce Committee appointed to deal with the question of securing employment for dis- abled and discharged officers, presented their report. It was suggested that two registers should be opened-one for em- ployers and one for the ofifcers, and this recommendation was adopted. The matter will be brought before the officers and employers. It was also decided to invite Mrs. Drammond and Mise Ayston to address the Chamber on the question of- "Labour Unrest" at the next meeting, to be held on the 22nd inst.

THE LLANDEBIE AWARD
THE LLANDEBIE AWARD MR. VAUCHAN EDWARDS CIVES DECISION. (By Our Mining Correspondent.) Mr. J. Vaughan Edwards, chairman of the West Wales Munitions Court and of the ikiard of Referees, has delivered his award in regard to the dispute which led to a strike of 300 miners for six weeks at Llandebie Colliery sgme time ago, and the decision was reported by Mr. J. James, miners' Agent, to the monthly meeting of the Anthracite District dele- gates at Swansea on Saturday. It will be remembered that Hie check- weigher at Llandcbie Colliery, supported by the workmen, brought charges Oi wrongful acle, detrimental to their in- terests, against the colliery company's weigher, and called upon the company to remove the weigher from his position. The company denied the allegations, and refused to comply with the demand. Ultimately it was agreed that the matter should be referred to a judicial inquiry. to he conducted by Mr. J. Vaughan Edwards. At the inquiry, which continued over six days' sittings, Mr. T. J. Randell. solicitor, appeared for the workmen, and Mr. Chas. K ens hole for the coalowncrs. the agreement to abide by Mr. Vaughan Edwards' decision being signed by Mr. Trank Hodges for the workmen and Mr. Chas. Cleevcs for the owners. THE AWARD. In his award, which reviews the evi- dence and contentions on both sid, Mr. Vaughgm Edwards says:— My final conclusions are:— (a) That the said Watkin Williams is not guilty of.aiiy of the accusation- preferred against him, and that he has not been guilty of conduct which would justify his dismissal by his employers. (b) That the Eajd employers acted reasonably and properly in not dis- tho path of conquest Doubtless Germany, missing the said Watkin Williams when requested by the eaid workmen to do eo. My recommendations made in pur- suance of the terms of the said agreement to refer are:— That i find that it is highly desirable, and particularly eo in the present crisis, to have unimpaired harmony at. the weighhouse, and that all parties at the collieries should have absolute con- fidence in the weighers at the weigh- house, in order to assure the-best rela- tionship between employers and work- men, in the national interest. And I respectfully, and with con- ifdence, having regard to all the cir- cumstances disclosed at the said in- quiry, recommend that, notwithstand- ing my decision that the said Watkin Williams is not guilty of any miscon- duct justifying his dismissal by h'.s employers, and with the view of re- establishing the best relationship 'be- tween employers and workmen and all .r,onec,rned, in the national interest, hi" employers should utilise the said Watkin Williams in some suitable occupation other than in the weigh- house. and at no monetary loos to him.
SHIPBUILDING TRADE.
SHIPBUILDING TRADE. Messrs. Harris Bros.' New Dry Docks. As we have previously stated, in the near future Swansea, similar to other up- ohannel ports, will be pushing forward with the utmost vigour every means and faeflities for shipbuilding and repairing. Messrs. Harris Brothers. Cambrian Dry Docks, have, we understand, completed plans for the construction of a double dry dock at the Pill, South Dock, Swan- sea, and this work i* to be put in liana at once and completed by the autumn The dock will be 400ft. long, and will be capable of dealing with a 10.000 ton boat and 3,1)00 ton bor-t i(-Ip br side. At the King's Dock, Swansea, the same firm have also in hand a dry dock jac heone. which, when completed, will gTMHy add to her facilities and to her position as a ship-repairing port. This dock will be 1.000ft. long, but will not be commenced till after the war.

COMMERCE OF THE DAY.
COMMERCE OF THE DAY. The Stock Markets keep firm. and M inin shares have been active. Auglo-Coiitiiieiitals at. 15s. 3d. are considered a good purchase Tho 6tock Echanse are calculating the pre- sent break-up value of Gold Fields Levels at 15s. per share. The company is receiving a larire income from the dividends of its chi-i-f tiubsiciaries. and its profits for the current financial year ending May 3lst r.ext should easily suffice to make a 10 per cent, distri- bution. Under these circumstances the pre. sent auotation of about 9s for the lOe. fully- paid shares is one cf the most glaring ano- malies in the market, which is not likely to cortinue long, and one looks for an early improvement in the price. GWALIA CENTRALS STILL i RISING. Enrichment of the 200-300 Feet Level. We recently referred to the pópulatity of Gwalia Central Gold Mines ibareb then standinsr at Zs. Our anticipations nf a. rapid rise have been iustified. persistent 1 buying having since carried the shares to 2s. 9d.—-and they are still risine! It would appear that big profits are to be secured by an early purchase of Gwalia Centrals at the present low price. Experienced opera- tors seemed to be convinced that we are about to witness a repetition of Westralian Golden History in the Gwa.lia Central Mine. The latest cable from the mine announced the enrichment of the reef at the ;20 feet level, now being worked here and it is pro- verbial that most of the richest ore of the famous mines of Westrali > have material- ised at about this level, when share values. as a result, soared, in several cases from Zs. or 3s. to £ 25. £ 40. and even L60 per share! Everbody knows the glamorous re- cord of such mines as Golden Horshpe Ivanhoe. Lake View Sons of Gwalia. etc., a nd the fort.unes made by jucky investors and shareholders in those companies. Thri market is watching developments upon Gwalia ventral, convinced that the steadily improving: ore values denote that news of a sensationally rich "strike" may at any moment be Bashed across the cablea Gwalia Centrals are being bought by well-1 informed people to-day .t 2s. '-J. for the rapid rise which they consider can scarcely fail to ta.ke place. Such is the market posi- tion. For our part we shall be ireativ our. prised if these shares are mot very own Quoted at well above then pr" viduo of 5s.—"The Empire.
