I  night therf, is announced last night there is trouble among the engine drivers, fire- men and cleaners, owing to the protracted negotiations on the wages question, and the Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemtn has informed Sir Auckland Geddes that it further pro- cess cannot be reported they will be un- to restrain the ,men any • longer. iÜY-five thousand men are affected, and include all locomotive and electric train workers. LIVERPOOL DECISION. I I Three Days' Stoppage to Support Police Strikers. A grave decision was taken at a meet- 1. Dii of Liverpool leaders on Thursday night. The meeting was representative of prac- If lItaIly the whola of the trades in the f Port, and it was unanimously decided Ltiat, in order to secure the reinstate- Iue.^ of the police who had gone on 61 like, and for no other reason, a general t ItOPpage of all workers in the port of Iverpool shall take place on Wednes- day next for three days. It is stated that this stoppage may only be a prelude to further stoppages at I other periods. YORKSHIRE STRIKE OVER. The Yorkshire Miners' Council decided on Thursday, by an overwhelming majority, on a resumption of work in South Yorkshire as soon as arrange- ments can be made, and in West York- shire provided that the owners agree that the settlement of the engine winders' wages is made retrospective from the date of resumption. Reports were presented to the Council showing that there were majorities at The branch meetings in favour of re- turning to work.

WONDERFUL GUN. I At Bisley this week a demonstration I fa sgiven of a new machine-gun. The gun is the Beardmore Farquhar Light ,1 toaehine-gun, aud it is claimed that it is the lightest machine-gun; that it is the cheapest to manufacture and to use; that it cannot jam; that it has per- fect breech-locking; that it is well- Protected against the entrance of dust and mud; that it can be iised without any oil, and is, there- fore, not liable to bo out of action through freezing at very low tempreatures or high altitude.; and that the automatic mechrn is never lubricated, is not affected by the heat of the barrel, and will continue to function even though the barrel be 0 kept red hot by continuous rapid firing.

BIG LIZZIE'S VISIT. BIG LiZ.?iL 0 I No Programme for Swansea.. There is as yet no indication of the pro- I gramme in connection with the visit to Swansea of the Queen Elizabeth and a battle cruiser squadron next month, but some information is expected from the Admiralty, to whom the Mayor has writ- ten. It is expected that it will be pos- sible to get some of the smaller units into port. and despite the shortage of boats the visit should be an interesting one to the populace. Swansea will, of course, see that the welcome to the tars when they come ashore is a fitting one. It will be remembered t.hat an effort was 'made by the committee responsible for peace day celebrations to secure the presence of some naval craft during that day, but the reply to the Mayor was in the negative.

FROM A STALL. Children's Thefts in Llaneliy Market. Agnes Evans (9), and Irene Evans (8), both of 36, Wern-rd., and Gertie Clement (7), Wern-road, Llanelly, were proceeded against at the local Juvenile Court on Thursday on two charges of larceny, viz., stealing 2 overalls, 2 blouses, 2 skirts, and a boy's coat value 12s., the property of Moses Ruhenstein; and also stealing a boy's woollen knickers, the property of Leopold Cohen and Sons. James Leslie Lewis (10), 50, Upper Water-street, said that on July 16th he was in the Llaneliy Market when he saw the defendants near a stall from which they took a number of articles, and he informed the police. j Replying to the Clerk, P.C. Evans said that Mrs. Evans was the wife of a labourer, and bad twelve children, and tlioy only had two rooms. Gertie Clement was discharged, and the parents of the other children were ordered to pH." 10s. ton-ard", the costs.

MUMBLES PSER. I Earlier Start on Sunday Evening, The renowned band of H.M. 1st King's Dragoon Guards will visit Mumbles Pier oil Sunday next. They will provide a high standard musical programme in the afternoon at 3.-t5 until 5.45, and also in the evening. It should be noted, however, that in consequence of the band having to return to depot by the 8.55 train from Swansea, they will necessarily have to commence the evening concert at 6.15 instead of the usual time, 0.45. A good service of trains will take Swansea people to Mumbles at convenient times for the concerts. During the week a popular party, the Grey Jesters, will hold the boards at the Pier Pavilion.

 PARC WERN. 1 Swansea Hospital. I Suggestion. I £ 150,000 PLAN. To all who know the difficulties under which Swansea Hospital is labouring in the matter of accommodation, it will be a matter for deep thankfulness that there: are hopes of the closing of Pare Worn as J a Red Cross hospital indirectly solving a pressing and perplexing problem. Miss Dulcie Vivian, Pare Wern's owner, is said to be desirous that it shall not return to its pre-war desuetude, and even to prefer that it should reni.ain a hospital. So the Hospital House Committee has decided to approach Miss Viviau, who is in London,' and has been written to. AUXILIARY FOR CHILDREN. If Miss Vivian's generosity will permit I the continued use of Pare Wern, it could be used as an auxiliary to the main hos- ¡ pital (probably for children), thus reliev- ing pressure on accommodation and reduc- ing the rather formidable waiting list. I That would be a big boon. But the possibilities extend much fur* ther. The demands on the hospital's re- sources increased with the size of the borough, and must continue to increase. Ultimately it will only be possible to meet them by obtaining additional land, for I while it would even now be possible to in- crease the number of beds, it would be ridiculous to do so without additional omces, etc., for which there is no room on 1 the St. Helen's-rond site. l £ 150,300 NEEDED. ,J Pare IV, crn has extensive grounds and if j permission could ultimately be obtained to extend the mansion, sufficient hospital i accommodation could be provided, at an almost ideal spot, to satisfy Swansea >s needs for a generation. Huge waitm.: lists, lack of grounds in which patients can recuperate, and the problem of e, nurses' hom-tbese will disappear. The prospect is an alluring one, although, of course, not one for the immediate fi-ittito, but if it can be realised those responsible j would deserve well of Swansea. It would I probably rueen raising FUTURE OF PRESENT HOSPITAL. An interesting contingent problem wouic be the future of the present buildings in ¡ St. Helen's-road, but we understand that this rather remote question has not (a51 suggested elsewhere) been discussed by the  House Committee. The sng("Stion that it would best serve for the new town ban is not taken seriously by some who know the institution. Adaptation to such purpose would mean such a huge expense they say. I But for.a technical cilleze the cias?rooiDS, dormitories, laboratories, heatim and other appointments, -ould. some think, be admirable.

?"?"OA?TWTS?"TKAO?,? I I I. Bristol Strike Does Mot Affect Swansea. I I 1 Members of the Bristol branch of the I -sociatM Coastwise Masters, Mates and Engineers are out on strike. They claim rates of pay fixed by the Maritime Board, or, as an alternative, a flat rate wage of £ 5 10s. per week of 48 hours, with half a crown per hour for overtime for masters, the other grades to be increased proportionately. A third proposal is an all-round increase of 15 per cent. The employers urge that the Maritime I Board decided that the coastwise trade i was outside its purview, but offer of 10 per cent. advance all round. It is possibfo the coastwise men in other ports will fakeI similar action. WILL NOT AFFECT SWANSEA. I An official of the Swansea branch of the Sailors' and Firemen's Union, seen by one of our representatives respecting the a bove, said he did not think the strike would spread to Swansea. First of all, he stated, the conditions were vastly diff- erent here to those obtaining in the Bris- tol district, where there was a large amount ot river work and coastwise work.

THE COMMUNISTS. I Dangerous Leaders Now II Uncfer Arrest. VIENNA, August 11. The dangerous Hungarian Communist leader, Ernst Bettelheim, who' was chosen by the third Internationale for the role of Communist Dictator of German-Austria, has at last been dis- covered and arrested hy the police at a first-class Vienna sanatorium, where he was staying under an assumed name and with a forged passport. Anna Axelrod, the wife of the wdt I known Russian Communist, who played such a prominent part at Munich at time of the Soviet regime there, hati been arrested. She was vitising Bettel- heim in bis room, at: the time. Bettel- heim. in whose possession the sum of nearly two hundred thousand kroner was found, was doubtless the chief instigator of the recent Communist disturbance6 in Vienna. The former Hungarian People's Com- missary, Sigmund Kunfi, who managed to cross the Czecho-Slovak frontier with a fa 1st passport, has 11ot"en identified at I Ilre--sburg n, arrested.

EIGHTY TO-DAY. J Mr. Oakley Walters' Record. Eighty, not out! This is the record of Mr. Oakley Walters, J.P., of Mornston, a gentleman of whom it can truly be said that he is one of the pillars of Swansea's iinplate suburb. To-day (Friday) he'celebrates his 80th l/r'hday, and congratulations are being showered upon his venerable head from fi-iends in- all parts of the country. rliose who are sufficiently intimate with 1im, and who often have the pleasure of I a few moments in his company (a6 has been the good fortune of the writer), can- ¡ not fail to have noticed that in the last [ few years Mr. Walters has improved re- j markabiv in health, and, let it be said, in agility. i FORCEFUL PERSONALITY. He possesses a forceful personality, and added to this there is a charm of manner and a desire to help others to do good by eteaUli," attributes which have en- deared hiiu to all in Morriston., He is one of the principals of the firm of Messrs. Walters and Johns, Morriston, and has MR. OAKLEY WALTERS, J.P. been connected. with the firm for close on half-a-centurv, during which time 14am "building scheme-s have been succjssfully carried out- As a matter of fact, the firm has rebuilt the greater portion of Mor- riston. Mr. Walters,1 in addition, is also La. partner with Mr. Johns in the Graig Brick Company. OLDEST DEACON AT TABERNACLE. "f1'n, '1 J: U P-wherein Mr, Waiters has shown ureiess "energy—in the religious life of Morriston. is the oldest deacon at Tabernacle Chapel, and his efforts for the cause there and the fruits of those efforts cannot be adequately measured to-day. The fact that he is the oldest deacon, that he has been associated, actively associated, with the cause for well over half a century I will afford some evidence of his activities. Finally, Mr. Walters is an ardent Liberal. There are five children—three sons and two daughters- who to-day are proud of their parent's record. They are: Mr. W. T. Walters (of Messrs. E. Williams and Co., Swansea), Mr. T. Oakley Walters, Mr. D. b. Walters, Mrs. Councillor D. J. Davies and Mrs. Llewelyn Morgan.

The result was a splendid win for Wales by 35 shots. The bowling was exceptionally good, especially on Rinks 4 and 5, where the whole of the I' flayers were in splendid form. C. C. Walker played a great game for Scotland, and Skip E. Hill and his men had to tight hard to make a draw. On Rinks 2 and 3 Skips Harry W illiams and D. Parry were far too strong for the Scotchmen. Skips R McKelvie and R. Kerr made a good show, but their rinks can surely" be straightened. Quite a large number of supporters witnessed the games. Details I are as follolv.- I SCOTLAND. I Rink 2.-T.

SINN FEIN. —■1 Government Decide on Suppression. The Government has decided to sup- press Sinn Fein in County Clare, south- west of Ireland. The Government decision is announced in a memorandum by the Chief Secre- i tary recounting the crimes, and follows the vigorous condemnation of outrage by the itomaii Catholic Bishop ot Calwiiv and the Dubiic Corporation, a strongl3, Satiolldlist body.

GUARDIANS' CLERK. Increase Referred to investi- i gation Committee. The Swansea Guardians Duties and Salaries Committee met on Thursda" y, 1 "?'? 'hTi!1 preifded. f >ie ^ucftiifn ^egai^ng the advance- ment of the salary of the clerk to the Guardians (Mr. Llew. Jenkins) came up for 4; isou-ion. Mr. Meredith moved that the salary of the clerk be raised to £ 250 per annum, and said Mr. had always given of his best to the Guardians. It was not fair for an investigation committee to deal with the matter first. Mr. Thomas (Pontardulais) seconded, and Mrs. H. D. Williams supported. The Rev. Davies appealed to them to let the committee of investigation do its work. He did not see any hardship in the committee of investigation, and moved that the matter be referred tjac1: to this committee. It was deided to do this. UNSANCTI ON ED EXPENDITURE. 1 be ± inance Committee met after- wards, when various bills were presen- ted and approved of. Mrs. H. D. Wil- liarus asked the Chairman if it was not irregular for any expenses to be in- curred without the sanction of the Board. The Clerk repiisd that this was 60. This question was asked over a bill which had been presented for payment for personal expenses of two memhers of the Guardians, who, it appeared, pro- ceeded to make some purchases for the workhouse. Mr. James said that the matter was an urgent one, and if they had waited they would have lost the opportunity of securing the purchase. Mrs. Williams said she was not mak- ing any complaint about the bill, hut about the irregularity. While she was chairman of the House Committee she was going to have things done in order and she was willing to give S50 to the Swansea Hospital if anyone could bring forward anything she had done which w ii, irregular, during her 17 years' eer- vice on the Swansea Board of Guardians. Eventually it was dieeide.d to refer tli-, matter back to the Workhouse Com- nittee.

FISH SCANDAL. a No Mackerel Thrown Away at Swansea. Inquiries at the Swansea Fish Market elicited the fad that a cargo of mackerel had been thrown into the sea by Swan- f sea trawlers by reason of the price re- quired for the fish by the owners not feeing realised. I h. j th1!rt"" .to.I two ago a large quantity of gurnet was brought to Swansea. This particular kind of fish, it seems, does not find favour ■with the inhabitants. A certain price was offered for the cargo, but this, it was found, would not cover the cost of haul- age, and the fish was eventually carted away to the local manure works by the Food Control Authority, no one feeling disposed to make a deal for the cargo. MR. J. WIGNALL'S STATEMENT. .L 1 ( in rue House ot Commons on Ihursday night Mr. Wignall (Lab., Forest of Dean) said that in Cornwall in the past few weeks three cargoes of mackerel, consis- ting of 22,000 fish, 19,000 and 18,000, had been dumped into the sea, and not al- lowed to be &old as food. Was not that a crime? (Cheers). The man who stood be- tween the people and their food because lie could not make enough profit was a crimi- nal of the worst kind. A fisherman had assured him that afternoon that the men who brought in a cargo of mackerel the other day received an average of three- farthings per fish, and yet in the town these fish," ere sold in the streets for id., 5d. and 6d. each. The fish husines.s was the greatest scandal of the present day.

BOLSHEVIK ORATOR. .Russian Tide Turning in Favour of Denikin. The Pres? Association states that re,.I ports from Kieff show that a remarkable revulsion of feeling against the Bol- sheviks is becoming apparent among the ■working-class population. Recently wishing to recruit the army f after Denikin's success, the Bolshevik's organised a number of meetings at Kieff in the Arsenal and thu factories, which were considered to be strongholds of Bolshevism. At one such meeting in the Greater Factory a Bolshevist orator n'fter a violent harangue concluded with the hope that the whole audience would vote for universal enlistment in the ranks of the Red Army, Jnstead of the cheers he expected, how- ever, the workmen present mude a hostile demonstration, and passed a' resolution that They would net give one soldier to the army." Somewhat disconcerted, the agitator tried another 'me, and referred to the cruelties which he alleged were being com- mitted by the anti-Bolsheviks. In this, however, he had still less success, his "words being greeted by a general shout of "That's a lie! We know that Denikin recognised the eight hours day. and trade unions, and that he only adopts severe measures against members of the Extra- ordinary Commission for Combating Coun- ter Revolution and criminals." This final protest convinced the speaker that he had not the audience with him. and he quickly made his way out of the factory crying. I see I have not to do rwith comrades, but with Denikin's future eoldiers! Many of the workmen were later ar- rested, and some were put to death.

BOOTS. Selling at 1-d. and 4-ad. a Pair: Better Prospects. There is some prospect that by the autumn the prices of boots will be less i exorbitant. The proposal by bootmakers themselves for some system of voluntary control is significant. Northamptonshire Boot Manufacturers' Federation recently agreed to continue the manufacture ûf war-im boots at an extra charge. It is possible,, therefore, that .the war-time boots which sold for abouv 29s. will be obta.inable again for 1 A quarter of a nvllion pfirs of dis- carded Army boots,, were sold at ta? Lon- don Cùmmercial Salerooms on Thursday at triSing prices. Many described ai grade 4, fit for civilian wear after re- pair," went for 7d. and 7!.J.. a pair; I others rea dy to wear. grade 1," fetched 8s. a pair. Cnnadian high grade boots realised fis. 9d. a pair, and Australian 7s. 9d. Canvas shoes varied from id. to 6d. a pair, and 1.000 pairs of Plimsolls went at id. a pair. One hundred pairs of W.R.A.F. shoes were sold at 3s. 9d., and women's boots at 5s. 4d. For carpet slippers 2d per pair was accepted.
