12,000 CAMBRIAN MINERS IDLE.
12,000 CAMBRIAN MINERS IDLE. jf MEN DEFY LEADERS MASS MEETING ON SUNDAY Peace Efforts To-day —— i A TEMPORARY SETTLEMENT POSSIBLE 1 The strenuous efforts made to secure an adjustment of the unfortunate position in Mid-Rhondda have proved abortive, and according to tha resolution carried at a macs meeting of the workmen held at Mid-Rhondda on Sunday the twelve thousand men employed under the Cambrian Combine struck work to-day and all the collierics are rendered idle. At the minc-rs' conference on Saturday the eagsestion for the immediate stoppage of; either the Cambrian collterks or of the whole coalfield was negatived by an overwhelming majority. The delegates at the conference, however, were practically unanimous in their resolve to support the Rhondda men, and it Was resolved to ballot the coalfield on one of two ways upon which this support should be forthcoming The first was that the Cambrian alone should givo notice on the 1st of next month to terminate contracts, and that they be supported by a special levy in cime the notices would have to be acted upon, and the second that notices should be given hy tha whole of the coalfield to terminate contracts on the same date. Either of these proposals would have TViOiitu that about six weeks would have to elapse before there should be brought about a disastrous cessation of work. The work- men employed in the collieries governed by tiie Cambrian Combine, however, have absented to neither proposal, and by a Majority of about 2,000 they resolved to ignore the decision of the conference, and thus one of the gravest crises ever expe- fenced in the Ehond.la Valleys has been precipitated, and it is now questionable what Il'oefu,¡ purpose can be served by a ballot. The decision of the men has created the greatest concern in the localities, as the 12,000 men will not be entitled to any finan- cial aid, and it will not require many days i*o the greatest suffering will be experienced, HOPES OF SETTLEMENT Hopes are still entertained that some Arrangement may be come to, if only of a temporary nature, pending a meeting of the Conciliation Board on Friday. Sectional meetings are to be held this horning at Clydach Vale, Llwynypia, and Penygraig, when the position will be further discussed. At three o'clock this afternoon Mr. Leonard Llewelyn, general manager, will tneet a deputation of the Naval Colliery Oien, when an endeavour will be made to commence negotiations on a new basis in Iftar dto the original dispute at the Ely Pit, which has led to the present deadlock. A difficulty, however, presents itself as to r. Llewelyn meeting the combined com- taittee of workmen at the different collieries Under the Trust, as the shareholders at each colliery are not the same. Another message states that the feeling is that there is a possibility of work being resumed to-morrow at the Glamorgan and Clydach Vale Pits, thus complying with the decision arrived at on Saturday by the Miners' conference at Cardiff. In that case Notices will be tendered on October 1. "DROP TOOLS AT ONCE The Cambrian Men Not to Start To'da A mass meeting of about 8,000 men Employed by the Cambrian Combine was kfclu at the Athletic Ground, Tonypandy, on Sunday, to consider the situation in the kca-lity in view of the decision of the miners' ^Qferonoe at Cardiff on Saturday. 1rI.r. W. John, who presided, urged the men to give due consideration to. the matter \vbiah they had to decide that day, whicli "as whether they were to accept the decision the c-onference or act upon their original to drop tools on the Monday. ldr. R. Roberts (Gilfach), one of the delegates at the conference, remarked tliat fnCe the Cambrian Combine had taken over the Britannic Merthyr Colliery the men had to work under much worse conditions. It ^*d been hoped that all the men under the ,inbine would have agreed to a policy of down tools," but so far they had been its- appointed. Jtfr. Mainwa-ring (Clydach Vale), the Cam- brian delegate at the conference, said that :i.Ir. Brace had spoken about constitutional methods." They had expected something of thi k'nd from him. Mr. Brace's attitude was "constitutionalism, if you please." (Laugh- ter.) Mr. Hartshorn was all right as far as first part of his speech was concerned, %ben he maintained that they as workmen eould not fight on a financial basis, but 15r. Hartshorn's attitude subsequently ^ae, "Wait until the Millennium, and then we Mil have a revolution." (Laughter.) Mr. D. Watts Morgan pointed out the fallacy the Policy outlined by Mr. Hartshorn. (Applause.) Thtre was one thing that could not be mis- taken, and that was that there was a, spirit of fight among the men. (Applause.) lfr. T. Smith (Penygraig, the Naval dele- Pate) said that no one had fought more "tir,ageously and vigorously on behalf of the Cambrian men than Mr. D. Watts Morgan- (APplauoe.) It was a very surprising fact 4t the conference that the only reactionary element were the men who were known as The Fighting Fifth." These were the men to fought against the interests of the Cam- "riaa workmen. Mr. James Winetone fought for all he was worth against giving a month's Notice or taking any steps in the interests of the Cambrian men.' If Mr. Winstone had had bis way, the fight would not be conducted e. it was now being done. Mr. Brace had ^torted very pointedly, "And thie is a man lvho is called a member of the Fighting I ifth," and twitted Mr. James Winstone upon his inconsistency. Then there was Mr. Ver- non Hartshorn, who suggested launching them into a battle with no certainty attached to it. There was no doubt about the £ &ct that the men in the South Wales coal- ed were prepared to support the Cambrian Dien. From the time the first blow was struck Oe had said that the Cambrian men were out to win, and win they would. (Applause.) He Uite appreciated the power of the Cambrian, )),at he also knew the omnipotence of public opinion. (Applause.) The Cambrian Combine trying to create a reign of terror. There "0,1- talk of a libel action, but let them have Orty actions. That would not frighten them Or turn them aside from the fight. The Cam- hrian Trust were preparing for a long struggle. The question was whether they would fall into line with the whole battalions Of the Welsh coalfield by giving a month's Notice or whether they were going to fight it alone. A meeting of the Conciliation Board ^°nld be held on Friday, and it was whis- red that Mr. Leonard Llewelyn had pub- hshed some figures. Well, they were pre- f >red to take Mr. Llewelyn's own figures, send the men back to work next week. ^ughter and applause.) lir. D. Watts Morgan said the pivot on )v)lieb the present position stood had been br,)Ught about by the grievances from which th 111611 suffered in their employment under t Cambrian Combine, whatever the I)re'll might say to the contrary as to '??ences between local leaders. At the con- .erenœ. a vivid nicture was drawn of th? injustice of locking out "850 men who were quite innocent and could not possibly be assimilated with the 70 men concerned in the price-list dispute in the Bute Seam. Attempts had been made locally and by the executive council to find some way of arriving at a settlement, but without avail. The Ely management, where the notices were given to the men, stated that it was the intention of the company to close the mine for a time, and raise the coal from the new Anthony Pit, and that work would be found for those out of employment as far as possible at the other pits of the company. That promise had not been carried out. The men were actually refused work. If the ballot went against them there (1 was sufficient money in the South Wales Federa- tion to finance the combine colliers for seven or eight months. (Applause.) Mr. Llewelyn had issued a circular that in tlie disputed seam men at the price offered could earn Is. lid. per ton for cutting coal, with Is. 5Jd. added for dead work, i.e., 3s. 4Jd. in all per ton. If that was the case the Ely men would go back to work to-morrow. uecision 10 urop lools I at unce After answering some questions, the chair- man put it to the meeting whether or not to return to work to-day (Monday).. A sub- stantial majority decided to drop tools at once, notwithstanding that Mr. Morgan strongly urged them to act in a legitimate way. The Chairman intimated that a deputation had waited on Mr. Llewelyn that afternoon, and he offered to re-open negotiations a,s to the Ely Pit on the basis of the circular he issued on Friday. Subject to a meeting of the Naval men this morning to approve this course, a deputation of the workmen's com- mittee will again wait upon him. Mr Leonard Llewelyn and a Deputation Witn regard to the rumour that Idr. Leonard Llewelyn, the general manager of the Cambrian Combine, is prepared to receive a deputation of the workmen's joint com- mittee. Mr Llewelyn states that he has never expressed a readiness to receive a deputation from that committee. He is, how- ever, prepared to receive a deputation on behalf of the workmen at any of the respec- tive collieries connected with the combine. A FATEFUL SITUATION jCeneral Lock-out of Men May Follow The decision of the Cambrian Combine workmen to tear up their contracts and cease work in a, body without notice is likely to be attended with very serious results to the coalfield. It is an action that the Coal- owners' Association is bound to take serious notice of, and, following their practice in the past, it is not improbable that the challenge thus thrown down to the employers will be taken up. A meeting of the Coalowners' Association has been oonvened for Thursday next, and a proposal is likely to be submitted for a general lock-out of the whole of the men employed in the coalfield on November 1, on one month's notdoe to be given at the collieries on October 1. Whether this pro- 'bother this pro- posal will be adopted it is premature to say, but there is no doubt that among the coal- owners a. large proportion, if not the majority, favour a lock-out as the only means of ending a situation which has become intolerable. The more belligerent section of the coal- owners nearly carried the day for a general lock-out in July last year, when the Eight Hours Act came into operation. Tiicn Mr. D. A. Thomas, M.P., turned the balanoe in favour of the owners making concessions and saving a struggle. He is, however, now one of the first to suffer at the hands of the work- men of the district. The probability is that the Coalowners' Association will stand firmly behind the Cam- brian Combine in this quarrel. Any other course would mean a rupture in the ranks of the association, whioh was formed for mutual protection of the members from acts of aggression such as this. With or without the support of the association, there is no reason to suppose that the Cambrian Combine will recede from their attitude. There is, therefore, every probability of the present crisis developing into a general stop- page of the coalfield, and if the ballot which the men are to take as the result of Satur- day's conference gives a majority for a general strike, it is not improbable that on September 30 and October 1 the men, on the one side, and the coalowners, on the other, will exchange notices to terminate contracts. What this means to the trade of South Wales those who remember the 1898 strike will fully realise. 1' '0 It. uissatistaction at Kesuit of. vote A great deal of dissatisfaction is expressed among the workmen of the Glamorgan and Clydach Vale Collieries at the result of tho voting at Sunday's meeting. It is main- tained that the very large number who, out of curiosity, had attended the meeting from other districts, took part in the voting. Further than that, the greater pa.rt of the 1,700 already out in connection with the Naval Collieries were also present, and it is contended that these, together with the strangers present, out-voted the Cambrian and Glamorgan workmen. SATURDAY'S CONFERENCE I Leaders' Recommendations Rejected ¡ Seldom has a miners' conference attracted greater attention 8r caused so much uneasi- ness in the public mint as that which was held at the Cory-hamlli, nl as that which was held at the Cory-hall, jfej-diff, on Saturday. As is well known, this was convened for the purpose of considering the unfortunate situa- tion created through the threat of the work- men not only to cease work abruptly at all the collieries governed by the Cambrian Combine, but also to bring about a complete cessation of. work throughout the Welsh coal- field. The net result of Saturday's protracted deliberations was that a ballot is to be taken as to whether- (1) The workmen in the South Wales coal- field will accept the recommendation of the executive council that permission be granted the men employed by the Cam- brian Combine to tender a month's notioes on the 1st of October, a levy to be made for their support in the event of these notices having to be acted upon; (2) Similar notices terminating contracts be given throughout the coaliield on the 1st of the month. The proceedings occupied about seven hours, and were presided over by Mr. W Abraham (Mabon), M.P., who was supported by Mr. W. Brace, M.P. (vice-chairman), Mr T. Richards, M.P. (general secretary), Mr. A. Onions (treasurer), Mr. J. Williams, M.P., and practically all the members of the exe- cutive council. By the way, the somewhat rare spectacle was witnessed of all the mem- bers of the executive council showing a united front. But, notwithstanding this, the conference rejected the recommendation of the council by a majority of thirteen on a show of hands, and on an accumulative card vote being taken there was an adverse majority of 315, representing a membership of 15,750, a "card" being practically one vote for every 50 workmen. On the face of it, this decisive majority revolting against the combined force of the leaders is somewhat disquieting, but it should be borne in mind that conferences rarely, if ever, give an accurate expression to the views .held by the men whom the delegates represent. It often happens that a ballot reverses the decisions of conferences. The last notable instance was in March of this year, when the conference showed itself absolutely antagonistic to an acceptance of the terms of the new agreement, but on a ballot an overwhelming majority was recorded in its favour. It will also be noted that the suggested immediate stoppage at either the Cambrian or the whole of the coalfield was not countenanced by the conference, and, in fact, though this wild proposal found a measure of support, & proposition directly to this effect was not submitted, and, therefore, such a stoppage has not had the sanction of the conference. Another important factor in the situation is the fact that the conference agreed to leave the matter of the men who are already out at the Ely, Nantgwyn, and Pandy Pits in the hands of the executive committee. Mabon, in his opening speech, explained at length the circumstances under which the conference was convened. These are now common knowledge, so that it is hardly neces- sary to recapitulate Mabon's remarks. Mabon further dwelt upon the gravity of the situa- tion, and urged the delegates to give the matter their most earnest consideration. REVIEW OF THE POSITION. Mr. D. Watts Morgan then delivered a lengthy address, detailing the history and the present position of affairs in connection with the Cambrian Combine workmen. In the course of his remarks Mr. Morgan stated that when last year the company resolved upon opening out the new seam at the Ely Pit, differences of opinion arose between the management and the v?os%an»i^ a8 t<)(-tiiei3PTio&- list which should be foied for this particular seam, the parties disagreeing as to the identifi- cation of the seam. In view of these diffe- rences, the matter was ultimately referroo to the Conciliation Board, and Mr. T. Grif- fiths, J.P., and Mr. Enoch Morell, represent- ing respectively the employers' and the work- men's sides of the board, wore deputed to try t) arrange for the settlement of a price- list. Negotiations continued for months, and visits were paid by the loage committee, accompanied by Mr. Leonard Llewelyn and himself (Mr. Morgan) to neighbouring col- lieries where somewhat similar seams were being workixl with a view of arriving at an amicable settlement. Ultimately failure to agree was reported to the board, and the management then gave notice to all the men at the Ely Pit to terminate contra-ote, giving M; a reason that if they did not agree upon the terms of the price-list for the new seam, the pit could not be worked at a profit. While these notices were expiring, negotiations were re-opened, and finally a suggestion was made by Mr. Llewelyn, the general manager ol the combine, to refer the mattar to arbi- tration, with an independent umpire. But this suggestion was soon after withdrawn, Mr. Llewelyn explaining that the Coal- owners' Association did not give their con- sent to this proposal. Mr Llewelyn had further promised that the Ely workmen should be given employment at the other pits of the colliery, particularly the Anthony Pit, Tonypandy, which wa« in course of develop- ment. This promise, however, lu-d not been fulfilled, and it was further alleged that even where some of the Ely workmen had succeeded ill obta.iuing work, they were afterwards dismissed on the ground that they had obtained employment under false pre- tences. Mr. Morgan then went on to empha- "ise the bitterness of feeling which had bean generated through what seemed obviously to be part of a general policy pursued by the owners of dismissing whole bodies of work- men in order to compel a small section to accept terms which otherwise they would not. He instanced Cymmer, Perrtre. and Aber- aman as cases in point. Mr. Morgan further explaned that, as they would have noticed by the circular sent out by the Cambrian Colliery workmen, the ilxeri price-list for this disputed soam was regarded as a matter of .the greatest importance. EXECUTIVE COUNCIL'S ADVICE. Mr. W. Brace, M.P., explained that the executive council had had the matter under careful consideration on the previous day. Every member of the council was most anxious that they should agree upon a line of action which would beot serve the interests of the aggrieved workmen. It was after very careful and thorough consideration of the matter that they had ultimately come to a unanimous decision to recommentd the conference to adopt a policy which he would now outline. The measure*; suggested by the council were ee-rtainly not so draistic in a eense as those which were suggested by the Cambrian Combine workmen, but in the opinion cf the council it was a more effec- tive and by far a better course to adopt, a.nd one which would enable them to achieve their ends much more snrly. The council's recommendation was that the conference should agree to permission being given to the Cambrian workmen to give a month's notice on October 1 to terminate contracts in the event, of the Ely dispute not being satisfac- torily settled. They (the council) further suggested that a levy, say, of about a shilling per week ript, member be made throughout the ccalfielfl in the event of these notices having to be acted upon. WORKMEN RESOLVED TO DOWN TOOLS." rue C delegates from the Naval, Cambrian, I and Glamorgan Collieries then spoke, and very strong, lengthy, and even bitter speeches were delivered. The proposal of the execu- tive committee was regarded as temporising with the question; the men whom they (the delegates) represented would brook no delay such as that suggested. The climax had, it was maintained, been reached, and the men were in no mood to accept anything which would bear even the semblance of com- promise The delegates further expatiated upon their grievances, and maintained that the situation was now intolerable. The work- men had resolved upon down tools," what- ever the conference might do. The Cambrian management had attcapted to force the hands of the workmen to such an extent as to endeavour to starve tlu men at Ely into sub- mission. The decision to immediately strike work had been come to after due deliberation, and the seriousness of the proposed course had been duly considered. It was not a case of the men or the officials • of the lodges having come to any hasty conclusion, but they had fully borne in mind the fact that u they struck work without notice they would not be entitled to strike pay. The Cambrian delegates found supporters at the conference in favour of an order for a general stoppage of the whole of the coal- field, the one alternative being the granting of the men's demand for the re-instatement of the dismissed men at the Ely Pit. Another proposal was that the whole of the men who were already idle should be financially supported, but this suggestion did not seem to secure much support. A further proposal suggested was that the whole of the men working under the Cam- brian Combine should strike, and that they be financially supported. Matters were at this indefinite stage when I the conference was adjourned. QUESTION OF GENERAL STOPPAGE. I To some extent the afternoon conference I was a replica of the morning session. There was again exhibited a very strong feeling in favour of an immediate general stoppage. It was argued that the only way to fight the employers was by reducing the profits, and an effectual means of accomplishing tuis was by bringing about stoppages. Numerous speeches were delivered, and various were the ideas and propositions put forward by different delegates. Members of the executive council also spoke at length in reply to the various points raised. The views of the executive council were expounded, the alternative to the counsels of despair alluded to. It was pointed out that to commit wholesale breaches of con- tracts would not only mean breaking up the present agreement and the Conciliation Board, but would also involve an enormous expenditure of money. If the owners decided upon taking proceedings to recover damages these would be so immense as to entirely cripple the Federation. The response to this argument was that the men were prepared to risk everything in the present conflict—a conflict which was not confined to Mid-Rhondda, but, as had bean admitted inferentially, covered the whole of the coalfield. The owners had, it was argued, undoubtedly adopted a policy of systematic lock-outs where there were involved disputes of only comparatively minor significance. The owners were the aggressors, and it was now the turn of the men to strike a blow. The Momentous Decision It being evident that an immediate stoppage without any notice could not be counten- anced. the subsequent discussion was con- fined to the two alternatives already referred I to as having been agreed to be submitted to the whole of the workmen. The executive council ^trongly discountenanced a legal stoppage which would cover the whole of the coalfield. It was pointed out that if the whole coalfield was rendered idle there were not sufficient funds in the Federation to keep the men more than a few weeks, whereas if the fight was conducted on the lines suggested by the council there was already sufficient money to keep the 12,000 men in Mid-Rhondda out for eight months, and by means of levie3 upon the men who would be working the Mid- Bhondda men might be kept idle for an inde- finite period. In this way the hands of the management wou!d be forced, as they would have to come to terms for the re-starting of the pits to prevent their being ruined. The council, therefore, was strongly of opinion I that a tota) cessation of work would be fajfthly impolitic, for if they did come out flv a body the possibilities were that the ole coalfield would have to return to work-I before very long on worse terms than those on which they came out, and they would then be at the mercy of the employers. Not- withstanding these arguments, the executive council were quite unable to persuade the conference as to the wisdom of the policy they advocated, and on a show of hands being taken it was seen that the council was defeated. This defeat was even more decisive when it came to a ques- tion of an accumulative card vote, for this resulted in a majority representing over 15,000 workmen being recorded againet the council's proposals. The question was then discussed briefly, but hotly, as to the course which should now be pursued in view of the result of the division. It was maintained on the one hand that the decision of the oonference waa final; on the other hand, however, it was argued that an order asking the whole of the workmen of the coalfield to give notices to terminate contracts oculd notice made without the sanction of the men as disclosed by ballot. Any ot.her course would have been incon- sistent, in view of the fact that the present agreement was only accepted after the men had been given an opportunity to ballot upon it. Eventually, it, was agreed that. this course should be taken. Discussion also took place in regard to the position of the men who were already idle I at the Naval Collieries. Upon this point there did not seem to be much diversity >f .opinion, and it was agreed- that this ques- tion be left in the hands of the executive council, it being explained that the latter, in view of the present eiretimaanow, would not he favourable to bringing any pressure upon these men to return to work until some sort of a settlement was arrived at. THE OFFICIAL REPORT I The following official report was supplied to the press by the business committee, com- prising Messrs. Noah Ablett (Rhoudda), Wm. Davies (Western Valleys), Robert Edwards (Garnant), David Jenkins (Blaina), and Isaac Lewis:- There were present 248 delegates, repre- senting 147,430 members. The Chairman (Mabon) explained the object of the conference. Mr D. Watts Morgan explained the case -of .the- Cumbrian workmen, said^that-Mr.. Llewelyn had suggested arbitration, which the Ocalowners' Association had refused. The Chairman of the Ely committee added some points. "A .district delegate also spoke. He referred to the circular issued by the employers in reply to the men's circular, in which it was stated that two men had filled ¡ 6 tons llc.wt. in one day. If this were I multiplied by 35 it would show an average of 250 tons, which would break down t:wir argument that the ooiliery ww not paying. There was a dispute as to what the seam really was, the ownen; contending that it was not the Bute Seam from Bodringallt they had been working the Nine-foot Seam at a price of Is. 6d. per ton, and had got through to the Bute Seam at Ferndale, where the pI ice was 2s. 2d., which proved that it I' was the Bute Seam. "Mr. Brace (the vice-chairman) put the posi- tion of the executive committee that the men at the Cambrian, Glamorgan, Naval, and Britannic Merthyr, numbering 12,000, should give notice on the 1st of October to strike, and that a levy be risen from the other mem- bers of the Federation. "An amendment to this was moved from the conference, and when a vote was taken, there voted— For the a.mendment 121 For the executive committee's recommendation 138 "A oard vote was then taken, Mid resulted as follows:— For the executive committee's recommendation 1,171 Against 1,486 Majority against 315 This represented a majority against of about 15,030 members. After a good deal of heated discussion, it was decided to ballot the coalfield on the two following questions (1) That a month's notice be given on October 1 to terminate contracts in the whole of the South Wales coalfield; or (2) That a levy be called to assist the combine workmen. The position of the Ely, Pandy, Nant- gwyn, and Gilfach workmen was left in the hands of the executive council." WRITS TO BE SERVED -1-1 it transpires that the iNavai colliery Company—which, of course, is governed by the Cambrian Combine-take strong exception to the issuing of a dia- gram purporting to show the condi- tion of a, seam, and Messrs. Ingle- dew and Sons, solicitors, Cardiff, have been instructed by the Naval Colliery Company to issue writs against the printers and publishers of the "Daily Mirror" in respect of their issue of the 8th inst.; against the printers and publishers of the "Rhondda Leader" in respect of Satur- day's issue; and also against Mr. David Bowen, secretary of the workmen's com- mittee, who signed the men's manifesto. Mr. Arthur Ingledew informed a fIT estern Mail reporter that the writs were in course of preparation, and would be served to-day (Monday). His firm had retained on behalf of the Naval Company Mr. J. Eldon Bankes, K.C., and Mr. John Sankey, K.C. We are going to fire away with all possible speed," Mr. Ingledew added.
FIRST LADY PRESIDENT.I
FIRST LADY PRESIDENT. CARDIFF TEACHERS POSITION AT I NEWPORT CONFERENCE. Towards the close of the eighties" assistant teachers in various parts of the country began to find that serious disabi Ii- ties were attending their positions owing to the change that had been gradually taking j place in the teaching profession. The first move towards the formation of a. federation was made at Sheffield in January, 1891, when ) about 60 delegates met together to discuss their own professional and other matters of educational interest, and the National Fecle- ration of Assistant Teachers was constituted at Derby in 1893, with Mr. H. Ward as its president, with the object of obtaining for assistant teachers fair remuneration for their services, freedom from vexatious and harassing regulations, and a proper profes- sional position. Its growth has been rapid, for at the last conference, held at Northamp- ton in 1909. its members numbered 18,934, representing 141 associations. Its president on that occasion was Mr. J. H. Underdown, of Bristol. The conference at Newport will be attended by about 500 delegates from all parts of the kingdom, by deputations from the Scottish Class Teachers' Association, the National Union of Teachers, the Head Teacher Federation, a,nd the Incorporated Associa- tion of Assistant Masters in Secondary Schools. Miss E. Phillips. Roath Park Council School, Cardiff, will be the new president, the first lady to hold that posi- tion, and she will deliver her presidential ¡ address at the opening session.

A NURSE'S HONEYMOON. I
A NURSE'S HONEYMOON. I GUARDIANS AND INTIMATION OF I A MARRIAGE. "The mother-in-law says tl^By are married," was the only explanation that the chairman (Alderman F. J. Beavan) could give with respect to the statement made at Cardiff Board of Guardians on Saturday that a nurse had seized the opportunity of her vacation to get married. The Chairman pro- ceeded to say that, as they had no official intimation of the fact, they could do nothing but let the lady's holiday expire before attempting to confirm it. They only knew what the mother-in-law said at present. A Member: The mother-in-law ought to know. (" Hear, hear," a.ud laughter.) Dr. F. G. J. Sixsmith said it was certain they could not dissolve the transaction. ("Hear, hear," and more laughter.) Mr. Alfred Good (dramatically): Then let us for ever hold our peace! (Roars of laughter.) A Member: We must not interfere with the joys of the honeymoon. ("Hear, hear," and continued laughter.) The Chairman (who whispered to the act- ing clerk, Mr. Stephenson) said their infor- mation was quite accidental, though the information was advertised in the newspapers that morning. ("Oh, oh!") It was agreed to do nothing until the nurse returned from her holiday-if she returned, for the Chairman said her return was not certain, so far as they knew. It may be added that the regulations governing the conduct of workhouses speci- fically state that no indoor officer (as t a ¡ nurse, for instance) may get married with- out the permission of tn." hnarr) BETTER PAUPERS' SURGERY. The guardians considered the report of the sub-committee appointed to inspect the paupers' surgery provided by Dr. Milward, j parish medical officer, at his new residence, 5. Glossop-road. A sub-committee had pre- j viously reported that the new surgery could only be described as a shed or shanty," to which the doctor took exception. The present report was that the existing struc- ture was entirely unsuitable, and the board was recommended to ask Dr. ATilwstrd to submit a plan of another surgery on the same site in place of the present building, with a me suitable entrance from the lane, to be brick-built, slata-roofed, have wooden floors, fireplace, and be a height of not less than 10ft. inside. On the proposition of Mr. J. J. Ames, seconded by Mr. J. R. Llewellyn, the report and recommendation were adopted without debate. The guardians passed a vote of thanks to the proprietors of the Cinema Theatre, Queen-street, for their kindness in inviting the children of the scattered homes, to the number of 400, to attend performances at the theatre during the winter months.

Fitting the Days to a _Man…
Fitting the Days to a Man I PROPOSALS OF DAYLIGHT SAVING BILL 1, I In view of the early re-assembling of Parlia- ment, it may be of interest to give a resume of ¡ the objects of The Daylight Saving Bill. The Bill proposes to utilize during the Summer months some part of the early morning sunlight, which is now too often wasted while we sleep and add an hour's sunlight at the end of our working day. This is to be accomplished by movinc forward the hands of the clock one hour at 2 a.m. on the third Sunday in April, and putting them back again one hour on the third Sunday in September. This will occasion :No earlier rising than at present because we shall continue to govern our movements by the clock Ko alteration in the Railway Time Tables, excepting those dealing with Continental Traffic, which is a very small proportion on the whole I- and no loss of sleep. The advantage to be gained by the scheme is that we shall have daylight for an hour later every evening during the Summer months than at present. This will be a great gain in May, June, and July. In August and early September it will be still more appreciated by those w ho take their holidays in those months, and who now find their enjoyment curtailed by darkness setting in so soon after tea-time. The effect of the scheme will thus be to fit the days to man instead of fitting man to the days, as at present. We shall fimplv replace one kind of working day containing a cert fin number of hour. of sunlight bv another contain- ing one. hour of sunlight more—and that hour occurring in the only period now available to most people for leisure or recreation. The diagram illustrates how this will operate AS AT P RESENT. Each diagram represents 24 hours from 6 a.m. to 6 a.m. The white spaces represent i-lit, the dark spaces darkness. The period of each year chosen ior Illustration is the middle of June. l'he case of a F'rson rising at 6 a.m., working from 6.30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and going to bed at 10 p.m., is used as an example. The first diagram shows that after tne day's work, the man having 5 hours of leisure at his disposal finds himself with 3 hours of sunlight and 2 hours darkness. During his 8 hours sleep he has 5 hours darkness, and 3 hours liglt-wiiieli light is not only wasted to liim. but is sometimes an annoyance. Under the Bill, according to the second diagram, a man will have 4 hours of his leisure (instead of 3) in sunlight, and in addition will have the advantage of an extra hour's darkness during his sleeping time. The gain of one hour's sunlight each evening amounts to seven hours a week, and practically yields the same advantages as would a half-holiday each week. For the whole period in each year covered by the Bill, the gain will amount to 154 hours. SAVIN U XU NATION. The cost oi lighting WIU be reduced, as it will not be necessary to light up for one hour later than at present. The total money saving to I the nation will be not less than X2,500,060 a year. The whole cost of the scheme is only I the moving forward and backward of the hands of the clock by everyone in April and September. The enjoyment of life will be incrcaseù and the health of the people will be improved. This should appeal particularly to the working man and woman who has but little leisure time at his or her disposal. Are not these advantages worth having ? This question has now to be answered by the people of Great Britain and Ireland. It is believed that already a majority of the electors amounting to two or three to one are in favour of the Bill-consequently Great Britain and Ireland should have the honour of being first to adopt this great reform, but unless something is done soon, the oppor- tunity will be missed and the honour will go to ¡ one "of the Colonies or America. Already one of tile, c, Daylight Bills have been considered by the I Parliaments of Canada, Victoria (Australia) and New Zealand, and in each case a Select Com- mittee has been appointed, has received evidence and has reported strongly m favour of the Bill. A similar Bill has also passed through the Upper House of Newfoundland, and is now being considered by a Select Committee appointed by the Lower House. The reader should interest his friends in the scheme and write to his Member of Parliament asking him to vote for the Bill when it is next before Parliament. Further information and literature regarding the proposals can be obtaiued from Mr. Wm. Willett, Sloane-squaro, London, S.W. ) I

ENGLISH VICTIMS. I 6 — I FRENCH EXPRESS DASHES I INTO BUFFERS. I PARIS, Sunday. An accident, which, fortunately, was not attended with loss of life, though involving injuries to twenty-five passengers, occurred to the Dieppe boat express on its arrival at the Care St Lazare at 6.35 this morning. Instead of drawing up in the usual manner at the platform the train dashed with con- siderable force against the terminal buffers, upsetting, bruising, and otherwise injuring I passengers who were preparing to alight. The official inquiry has not yet determined the exact cause of the mishap, but it is sup- posed the driver either shut off steam or applied the brakes too late. Many Englisti I people were in the train, and of these seven- teen were hurt. The following is the official list of the British passengers hurt:— Ur. Wemersly (Bradford), cut on forehead: Thomas James Lyne (Worthing), bruises on forehead Miss Newton fLondon), bruises on nose and forehead; Miss Hagan (Clapham Junction) and two nieces, all three suffering from bruises and shock; Mrs. Marsh (Brixton^ bruises on forehead, Mr. Jones (Jennyn-street. London), shock, Mr. and Mrs. Grant (Troon, Ayrshire), con- tusions Mrs. Brown (London), elbow hurt; Mrs. Christy (Linden-gardens, London), nose bruised Miss Herman (Pevensey), shock: John Holt (Fiath). left, shoulder bruised; Thomas Martin (Queenstown), shock: Miss Margaret M'Lean (Bedford-place, Lon- don). slightly hurt on the forehead; Miss Ross iGlasgow), bruises on head; John Groarty (London), various contu- sions; Mrs. Hunter, London, bruises on arm and leg- Miss Henton, London, bruised nose. The others include the guard and the brakesman. The driver is a young man of 24. who has not long left the Arts et Metres Engineer- ing School, and has only been acting as driver on the Western State Railway one month. fie alleges that his emergency brakes were out of order, and that his engine was also in a bad condition.—Reuter.
NEW BRIDGE OF CEFN I
NEW BRIDGE OF CEFN I An historic event was celebrated at Merthyr I on Saturday in the formal opening by Mrs. F. T. James, the mayoress, of the new bridge at Cefn. The bridge crosses the River Taff and connects Glamorgan with Breconshire. The cost of construction is £ 4,500. Of this sum the Breconshire County Council contri- bute Cl,350, the Merthyr Electric Traction Company ??00, and the Vaynor and Penderyn Rural District Council LLZO, the remainder of the expense being borne by the Merthyr Borough Council. The contract has been I carried out by Mr. E. H. Page, of Cardiff. There was a large concourse of spectators at the opening ceremony. There were present the Mayor of Merthyr, in his robes of office, attended by the mace-bearer, with the mem- bers and officials of the corporatibn, repre- sentatives of the Breconshire County Council, including Lord Glanusk, the chairman of the council and lord-lieutenant of the county, representatives also of the Vaynor and Pen- deryn Eural District Council, the Geliigaer Urban District Council, and the Merthyr Board of Guardians. The company further included Mr. Edgar Jones, M.P., Judge Bryn Roberts, Colonel Bruce Vaughan, Colonel A. P. James, and numerous other gentlemen. A piece of ribbon was stretched across the Merthyr end of the bridge, and the mayoress cut it with a pair of gold scissors from an electric car which- she herself drove over to the other side amid cheers. Subsequently the mayor entertained those invited to the inauguration to a luncheon at Cyfarthfa Castle. His Worship, in giving the toast of "The King." referred to the forth- coming investiture of the Prince of Wales at I Carnarvon Castle in July next, and said he was sure that every patriotic Welshman felt ¡ proud that his Majesty had seen fit to recog- nise Wales as a nation. I Mr. D. Powell, chairman of the roads and bridges committee of the Breconshire County Council, proposed the toast of "The Engineers" —Mr. T. F. Harvey, the borough engineer of Merthyr, and Mr. C. W. Best, the county surveyor of PrecarLWiire-who heA eudervimd j the conrtawfcioa .of iri^gB.

A YANKEE BOAST. I
A YANKEE BOAST. BRITISH MARKSMANSHIP VINDI-I CATED. Colonel Caswell, the Inspector of Small I Arms of the United States Army, who is on a visit to the Highlands, wagered LlOO that he would excel in shooting any of the officers he would excel in shoot-?nng N-erness, t  of Fort George, near Inverness, where the ?nd Battalion of the Seaforth Highlanders are stationed. The wager was readily taken up at a lower sum, and a match arranged, Lieutenant N. Reid (Seaforths) being selected tu maintain the reputation of British officers as marksmen. The conditions were twenty rounds at 500 yards and twenty rounds at 600 yards. Lieutenant Reid shot with steadiness at 500 yards, scoring ninety-four out of a possible 100, while Colonel Caswell scored eighty-nine. At 6DO yards Lieutenant Reid's total was eighty-seven, while the colonel only put on eighty. Victory thus rested with the British officer by twelve points, and he was heartily congratulated by his brother officers.
JOURNALISTS AND PRESIDENTI
JOURNALISTS AND PRESIDENT I PAIIIS, Monday. The "Eolair" publishes a dispatch from Buenos Ayres announcing the arrest there yesterday of the entire editorial staff of the newspaper "Republioa." the organ of the Radical party in the Argentine. The paper was recently suppressed, whereupon the journalists protested by means of a pamphlet, oouched in violent terms, and directed against the President of the Republic. The members of the editorial staff are now accused of conspiracy against the life of the President, and will probably be deported.—Central News.

=====I MEMORIAL TO LATE KING.…
===== MEMORIAL TO LATE KING. J Lord Plymouth, writing to the Times" in reference to his suggested memorial to King Edward, says:—"In advocating a scheme for acquiring the Crystal Palace and its grounds for the perpetual enjoyment of the public, my desire was to draw public attention to a definite proposal in order that it might receive the consideration it deservesi amongst all the others that will doubtless be brought before the committee appointed to receive them." His lordship asserts that it is not the Crystal Palace itself that he suggests as a fitting, memorial to the late King. The present building might fall to pieces in the process of time and new buildings spring up, but the enduring memorial to King Edward would remain in the 250 acres of Sydenham Hill saved from the speculative ixiilder, preserved for all time as a large recreation ground for Londoners. In reply to Lord Redesdale's criticism, Lord Plymouth says the former draws attention to the very point he desires to hear dis- cussed, namely, "whether the bulk of the! larse sum which will undouotedly be col- lected" should be utilised to preserve the finest open space in London, or whether it should be devoted to any other purpose, say ta King Edward's hospital Fund, as he sug- gests. The latter 13 a worthy object indeed. but so I maintain is the purchase and endowment of the site opened by Queen Victoria 56 years ago, now in danger of destruction.
