BREADSUPPLY. —————. -0 ————— Swansea in Good Position. DELIVERIES SOON. Swansea is in a happy position in its bread supply, for whereas the shortage in other parts of. the country is acute, the local master bakers have such a grip of the matter that they hope not only to continue to supply all customers, but to resume deliveries in a day or two.- The national position may be summed up as folov.'s:— There is a grave shortage of bread in many parts of the country owing to the strike of nearly 20,000 operative bakers. Small master bakers, who are un- affected by the strike, are unable to pro- tlUCiJ adequate supplies. In the poorer districts there are queues at the doors of the bakers' shops, from which many people are turned away without supplies. 4 In Nottingham alone there were a thou- sand families without bread on Wednes- day. The master bakers and men's delegates sat for seven hours in conference in London on Wednesday, but readied no settlement. An agreement was reached on Wednes- day night with the Co-operative Societies, and 5.000 bakers will resume work with them at once. SWANSEA POS IT ION. hatever the position may be in other towns, owing to the continuance of the national strike of bakers, there is good news for Swansea, for here the position is such, owing to the concentrated efforts of the small master bakers on produc- tion, that they can now guarantee sup- plies for the week-end, and say it is prob- able that from to-morrow (Friday) it will. ai&o be a case of deliveries also as usual. I! A meeting of the master bakers will be held on Thursday evening at Palmer's Cafe to consider the position, and though there is noching oihcial as yet, it is extremely probable that it will be de- cided to resume deliveries of bread as from Friday. Reports have also been received from Aberuvon, .Neath, Port Talbot, and Car- diff. These show that by the adoption of similar methods to those oi Swansea, the bread supply is assured. So much for bread. Pastry and the various "smalls" which are thu delight of the family party, are another piopo- eition. The big establishments nnd them-/ pelves hard hit. At Messrs. R. E. Jones various cafe? pastry is rsually "off," though there arc small supplies, and the windows present a desolate appearance. Pastry cooks employed here are mem- bers of the Operatives' Union, and are all out, and customers have, for the most part, to be content with bread and butter ham and eggs, etc. THE WAITING TIME. We are not carrying 'ill," saj-l \e' Sec. on Thursday morning. "We are simply waiting for the return of the men. We cannot supply pastries until the men come back." But there is no diffi- culty over bread. Mr. Sidney Palmer, with his three de- mobilised oiheer eons, is more fortunate, though even his windows lack their cus- tomary profusion. A popular Uplands shop, however, is well tilled with all of thQ most dainty goods ill [he pastry line, and it is 6ingular' how most of the smaller shop windows still display a good assortment of all sorts of smalls." Among these is Mr. Burridge, in Llau- gytelach-street. As far as possible," he said, "it is with us 'business as usual,' but bread is our first consideration." 6 He tells the story of how a customer observed the wife of an operative pa-ssing with two loaves under her arm. Their wives still have bread," eaid the cubtomer; "what would the operatives do if supplies were stopped?" Meanwhile the strike goes on, and the Sec. says that 38 new members have joined the union this week, and that there are not Aiore than half a dozen operatives in town who are out of it. OPERATIVES' MEETING. At another meeting on Thursday morn- ing in the Workmen's Club, Mr. A. J. Atkins in the chair, reports of picket- ing operations were received. It is said there were representatives at the meet- ing from Pontardawe, Mumbles, Clydaeli and Brynamman. There is a general desire for a settle- ment of the dispute, but no word had on Thursday been received from head- quarters in London. 11 Perhaps no news is good news," said one. I CO-OP. BAKERS STILL OUT. The Co-operative bakeries at Uplands, Cwmbwrla and Brynhyiryd have been ab- solutely closed down smce last Saturday, and in spite of the fact that they agree to concede all demands of the men, there is at the moment no prospect of rejAimp- tion. In spite of the decision reached yester- day at the Co-op. Conference, no ir':uia- tion up to this afternoon" hid re- ceived that men could resume work. NOTTINGHAM SETTLEMENT. NOTTINGHAM, Thursday. A temporary settlement of the Notting- ham bakers' elrike was expected to-day, the masters agreeing to re-instate the men on own term^.

EJECTMENT others. I 01. I Neath Council Resolution I Withdrawn. The question of house shortage and j ejection of tenants was discussed at a i meeting of the Neath Town Council on I' Thursday.

Jones, in moving the adoption of the proposal. said the Ö shortage tff houses was one of the causes of unrest in the industrial world.
