G.C.G. I .—- Men Demand An Inquiry PROTEST AGAINST STOPPAGE. (By our Mining Correspondent). I In regard to the threatened stoppage of the Maerdy Colliery, Gwaun-eae-Gurwen, where 750 miners are under notice to ter- minate contracts, a general meeting cf the workmen of both of the Gwaun-cae- Gurwen pits (which are owned by the fame company) was held on Wednesday evening, Mr. John Thomas in the chair. A report WM submitted by the miners' agent (Mr. J. James, J.P.), and Messrs. Herbert Morgan (secretary of the work- men), Kees Alexander (check weigher), and Joseph Dicks, upon the position aris- 11 jug out ot the proceedings of the Joint Disputes Committee, held on Tuesday, at Cardiff. PROTEST AGAINST STOPPAGE. I The agent expressed the opinion, WIllChl was conhrmcd by the deputation, that, j between the Coalowners' Association anu the Coal Controller, some means will bt: found to avert a stoppage of the colliery. The workmen considered that the com- plaint made by the owners is unnecessary. and stated that the suspicion had been aroused that the attitude of the owners v as due more to vengeance than to anything else. beverar speakers expressed their opinion upon the dwrge" made by the manage- ment concerning the alleged abuses of the local agreement known as the Mabon Agreement," and desired that tile notices should be withdrawn or suspended, pend- ing an inquiry into the operations of that arrangement and the alleged indiffeience on the pare of the management to ensure a clearance and increased output at the I' colliery. THE RESOLUTION. _I Ultimately it was unanimously decided I that the following resolution should be sent by the secretary (Mr. Herbert Mor- gan) to the general secretary of the South Wales Miners' Federation (the Eight Hon. 1'. Richards, M.P.). the Coal Controller dS ¡¡;tll as to the agents., and the Cam- bria Daily Leader That we appeal to the Coal Controller not to permit the closing down of the Maerdy Colliery of the Gwaun-cae-.Gur- ,wen Colliery Co., Ltd., believing it to be Jxjssible to carryon the work of this pit to the mutual benefit'of the community, the company and the workmen; and, further, that we invite the Coal Con- troller to institute an inquiry into the causes which have led to the tendering ot the notices to terminate contracts to the workmen, as vre believe that it is more in the nature of vindictive actio-i on the part of the owners., arising out of the strike in 191V, t hall their inability to carryon the workings on a remunerative basis."

- - - - ARMY HUTS.
ARMY HUTS. I -0 Swansea Model Cottage Now Ready. • I Ministry's Attitude. Swansea people will have an opportunity on Friday of inspecting the 60 by 15 feet Army hut in the Guildhall Yard con- verted into a model cottage by the Dis- posal Board of the Ministry of Munitions, which is offering these huts at about £100 each, less 33J per cent, in the case of local authorities. The converted building has been beautifully decorated and fur- nished by various Swansea firms, and those who take advantage of the oppor- tunity to inspect-they will doubtless bo many in view of the present prominence of the housing question—will admire it a^ a very cosv home. WHAT THE COTTAGE IS LIKE. I The cottage is a replica of one on the Horse Guards' Parade. With its 900 square feet of floor space, it has much more ac coinraodation than ordinary cottages. The weather boarding is lined with asbestos sheeting, of which also the ceilings, giv- s giv- ing a room-height of 8ft., are made, and the roof is of asbestos slates. The par- titions are of breeze concrete slabs two inches thick, and the accommodation pro- vided is a living room 20ft. by 15, a bed- room 15ft. by 10, and two flit, by 10, with email hail, scullery, bathroom, lavatory, and fuel hole. A small ranges provided in the living room, and little fireplaces in two of the bedrooms (all leading to brick chimneys), are of the kmd which the Boaru is selling cheap. THE BOARD'S ARGUMENT. The Board's argument is that no form of building will at current prices provide a home of anjHhing like this quality at the price. One of its surveyors, who was in town on Thursday, said the average cost, altered as shown, is about JiSSO, allowing for drainage where the sewers are near and for ordinary painting. The Swansea cottage, he said, cost less because of no drainage being provided. As we have previously stated, the Hous- ing Committee is to reconsider the ques- tion of using Army huts in housing in coiisk-cluence of the Health Ministry's! recognition of them for financial assist- ance and other new regulations regarding them. It vrould not be surprising if the decision against them is reversed, allm- ing definite information can be obtained a-s to the Ministry's requirements and assistance regarding them.

121 PER GENT FOR ALL.I
121 PER GENT FOR ALL. e South Wales Tinplate Settlenietit. The Joint Standing Committee of the South Wales Tinplate industrial Council met at Swansea on Wednesday, Mr. F. Gilbertson, vice-president of the Welsh Plate and Sheet Manufacturers' Associa- tion, presiding. Aid. Ivor Gwynne was the spokesman for the men. The meeting had been convened to deal with the award offr. Marlay Samson, K.C., which granted 121 per cent. advance to t bose niell w 110 had net put in their 17-hour week. It had been realised among the officials of the six tinplate Trad e Unions and the executive of the Masters-' Association that the bringing into opera- tion of the award created difficulties. Happily these were surmounted, as on Wednesday the employers granted the 12, per cent. to ail grades, and 60 maintained the equilibrium between process men and day workers. the employers laid great emphasis on the fact that the recent agreement regard- ing the six hours' shift prevented the re- starting of mills, and this checked. out- put, and instanced men objecting to the six hours' shift. It was agreed that the I millmen take a ballot vote as to whether or not they desired an eight-hours or six- hours shift, the vote to be. taken forth- with. The 121 per cent, now granted, it was a_ greed, shall be made payable to the period named in the award. A vote of condolrm-e was passed with Mr. George Rowe, a member of the com- Ij m it. tee. on the death of his wife, <

-1 1" ALMOST HUMAN. j -00- I Ships Safe Which Talks A wonderful invention for preserving, in the event of disaster, the mails and I valuables carried on a ship, will be shown at the great International Shipping, En- gineering and Machinery Exhibition, which is to be opened to-day at the Olympia by Lord Weir. It consists of a floating safe, which automatically disconnects itself from a sinking ship, and while floating on the ',ater sends up a rocket every hour for 12 ho a rs. A mechanical arrangement is fitted to the fcaie to give a loud signal, and, in addition, to ensure that the attention of passing ships is attracted, a light i, shown continuously, for three months from the moment it leaves the wreck. The device has been introduced by an Ainsterdaiu firm of engineers, and hat been adopted by the Netherlands Govern ment for use on steamers to their colonies, WAR-TIME INVENTIONS. j The public will have an opportunity at the exhibition of inspecting for the first j time many other interesting war-time in- ventions. There is nothing highly tech- nical or uninteresting to the, layman about most of file exhibits, which should appeal! even to those who are not of a scicntifu turn of mind. ?-.? "'}j A wireless telephony in,stallation has been erected by the Mareoni Company, and visitors will be invited, free of chnrge > to test its efficiency by having a ohltt with friends stationed at the other end of thc- hall. The vast building is crammed, with hun- dreds of tons of machinery of all kinds and sizes. There are models of warship., which have been made secretly during trot- war. and specimens of the largest armour, piercing shells in the world, a huge pro- jectile, weighing a tan and a half, with at calibre of 18in., capable of shattering 12in. armour plating a.fter travelling 20 miles. There is also to be seen a directional wireless apparatus for finding the correct position of ships or aircraft when heay- weatlier is encountered. One of the most interesting features of the exhibition is a demonstration by thp Submersible Motors, Ltd., of a special appliance which can be used for salving sunken ships or pumping out flooded col- lieriM. It consists of a small el'dric motor which works under water and throws up I a jet of water 75 feet high.

Two women must bp elected, and 110 trade competitor could act in a case. Mr. E. Harris asked if the tribunal couk'. meet in panels in a boiougii of this size. The Town Clerk said it was found that decisions by one tribunal made for con- tinuity "t policy TWENTY-FIVE MEMBERS. I Eventually it was decided to appoint a tribunal of twenty-ve.
