I MILK PRICES. ■1 •» Swansea Women's Protest March. REMARKABLE SCENE IN COUNCIL. i I Lively Incident. ? Weather dcsp?e, S"anMa women pro- i deispi? ',e, SNvan,"a women pro- | I tested on Monday against the high price of milk. The demoinitration had been fixed to leave the Public Library at 2.3t). At that hour rain fell in torrents, but already a few stalwarts had arrived/and sOod in the doorway with umbrellas un- furled. Thereafter others came, until .ho lobby of the Library was iiiied. At about a quarter to three, ilrs. Lowndes j emoiged e>a rryi-ij the posters which were to be displayed in the procession. These read :— Coiue and join us." Women's demoastrationf to protest against milk prices." Help us to save the children. At five minutes to three Mrs. Williams came, and was received with applause. Then the procession formed up. They were, by count, exactly ..J,4 in number, but on the wa,' were joined by otheru in High- street, Rain continued to fall heavily, i I It chanced that llr. Ben Tillett, on his way from flu Transport meeting I raet the procossion in High-street. I I'.jSaO NAMES ON THE PETITION. ■ Mrs. lvelly assured our reporter that had it been fine there would have been at least five thousand women in the demon- stration. On this account, also, another feature, which had been got ready, could not be displayed. This was a representa- tion on a couple of bamboo poles of (1) the pre-war milk supply, and (2) the pre- sent supply. ilrs. Lowndes iaid that 11,650 names were on the petition which she, Mrs. David Williams, and Mrs. Kelly hoped to present. 1 1 AT THE COUNCIL. j I I ,1r. David Williams and Town Clerk. A message was handed to the Town Clerk at the Council meeting that a de- putation of 50 or 60 women were awaiting outside, and asked that three of their number be received on the question of milk prices. This resulted in a most ex- traordinary debate. Mr. David Williams moved that the standing orders be suspended so that the deputation could be heard. The Town Clerk quoted the standing order which stated that no deputation should be received at the meetings of the Council. If, however, the Pal Iiamentary and General Purposes Committee deemed it expedient that the Council should re- j iceivo a deputation, a special meeting of the Council was to be convened for that I purpose. Generally the Committee within whose duties the question raised by the deputation came, should receive same, and report to the Council. The Town Clerk ,<*>» Ictl that clearly the Council could not receive. the deputation on that Order. Mr. Williams raided the more difficult question whether the Council could not suspend the standing order to meet the situation. A further standing order, however, eaid that no standing order should be suspended ex- cept on a notice duly given, or on the recommendation of a committee, specially mentioned in the Council's summons. Mr. Williams: Is that your ruling? The Town Clerk: I am only advising the Council. Mr. Williams: If that is your ruling I am going to suggest that every increase of salary since last March is out of order. and I am going to call upon all of them to refund. (Laughter). The Mavor: Though having every sym- pathy with the deputation, because 1 know som?thin? of the question, I regret to rule you out of order. MR. WILLIAMS PREPARES TO G9. I Mr. Williams (leaving his place and I going towards the door): What do you say-voing out? You will have no Coun- I cil meeting. It is the most arbitrary I ruling I have ever heard of. Mr. Ball moved the adjournment, and that in tho meantime they could receive the deputation. Mr. Colwill (standing, and at first un- heard through the talking and the tap- ping of the Mayor's hammer), pointed out that the milk supply question was one of vl tal importance- The Mayor: Agreed. Mr. Colwill (proceeding) said the women had to feel the pinch of the pro- blem. He respectfully suggested that after so much trouble had been taken the Mayor should alter his ruling. Mr. Miles suggested the adjournment of the Council to meet the deputation. The Mayor: I think 1 see a way out of it. The Town Clerk said the Mayors ruling was perfectly correct, but if it was the wish of the Council that they should be heard the better plan would be to adjourn for half an hour, and after an adjournment they could in- formally go into committee. The Chairman suggested that in the adjournment the Parliamentary Com- mottee might receive the deputation and recommend something. Mr. Williams: With great respect, I cannot accept that, Mr. Chairman. You (alluding to the Towu Clerk) four 1 it verv convenient to alter the Rtnmlmg Orders when your salary was concerned. BOTH ON THEIR FEET. The Town Clerk rose, but Mr. Wil- liams, standing near the centre of the I room, and speaking excitedly, added: J Pardon me a mo?^ATit. On every occa- sion when there has been an application for an increase of salary after March \1 you have found a way out. Now, simply because these people are here on a mat- ter of vital importance they are to bo j turned down on the Standing Orders. I moved the suspension of the standing j! Orders, which is quite in order, so as to give them an opportunity to be heard. I As far as I am concerned I'm not coming to any more Council meetings as long as. this is on to-day Ald. Owen (to Mr. Williams): We are I going to see them; sit down. Mr. Williams: --And I'll give notice j of motion now to deal with all the in- creases in salary given since last March. Tho Mayor: Let us try to get over this. There is no one on the Council who has more feeling on this matter than lhnye. I The Town Clerk and the Mayor at this juncture held a conference which was s interrupted by the ex.Mayor W. n. i Miles), who moved that the Council ad- journ for half an hour. Mr. David Williams: Is it the Coun- i cil who is going to meet now. I Mr Miles: Yes, the Council is going to adjourn to meet this deputation in committee. Thft Council thereupon adjournm. I THE DEPUTATION ENTERS. I The deputation then entered, and WM I composed of some üO ladies. They were introduced by Aldevman Owen., :i I Mra- David Williams, the first sp-caler, said they had been working for the last fortnight to get the women of Swansea interested in the question of the jiice of milk. That had been a simple t-iek, for the women were already keenly tlive to its importance. TJie deputation felt that a large number of people, who wrre in receipt of everything this world could give them. did not realise the terrible «uiferiikg that was being endured by the rank and file. She (the speaker) had during the past few weeks come into con- tact with a large number of people who were really suffering. For instance, in one house there were a woman and teven I children, and the husband had been I Ploughing the ocean through the war. I' That mother was not in a position to get half a pint of milk for her children. That Was the position of a man who was sup- posed to be lighting for his country. The proper people to take this matter up and reduce the price of milk would be in the first place the Council. MAKING HUGE PROFITS. I There were sections of the community iliaking huge profits, and it was not at all necessary. One of the deputation, whose lather was a farmer in Dorsetshire, had told her that her father sold milk to-day at 6d. per quart. The deputation now sug- gested that the Council bombard the rational iood Controller. The Govern- ment itself should take this matter in band. To-day there was a wicked waste taking place, farmers preferring to give their milk to tb-eir aninials ratiier than sell it. She had 11,000 names of women only on the petition the deputation pre- sented to the Council, and they could have had quite as much again if the men had had the opportunity of signing. (Ap- plause.) Mrs. Lowndes thanked the Council for admitting the deputation into their august assembly," but the cause they Espoused really warranted their intrusion upon the Corporation deliberations. They  were not there as a political organisa- tion, but representing the women of Swansea* they wanted to impress j upon the Council the effect the price of j milk was having on the life of the town. i The work of dealing with the supply of milk to the young ones was a work of construction, and we were living to-day I in a period, known as the period of ie- construction. It was primarily important that thero should grow up a nation of I robust men and women. I A TOWN'S BALLOT. I The speaker went on to outline a scheme whereby the Corporation might obtain an expression of opinion from the! People of Swansea OB the matter. She suggested a town's ballot. Mrs. Kelly also spoke. j The Mayor, in reply, said the Council as a whole had great sympathy with the views expressed by the deputation. The deputation then withdrew. I PETITION TO BE SENT TO t MINISTRY. Mr. Dd. Williams (St. Thomas), shoved that the petition presented by the d&pu-t t3. bon sholld be forwarded .to the j X<ltional Food Controller, together tritii: an exprs?ion of th6 Council's opinion, and also & request that <;h? Contrclt?r do! everything in his power to the? price of milk. I much regret," went on ,Mr. Williams, the position that arose before the deputation cam-e, in. it would have been a serious matter for us; if we had turned this deputation down." i The Mayor seconded and it was agieed t0.. The matter then dropped. j

I LEEDS EXPERT. I Aid. Wm. Owen's Question I at Council. On the Parliamentary 'Committee's minute approving the action of the Town Clerk engaging four expert -witnesses for tho Council in the Commons proceedings, coming up at Swansea Town Council on Monday, Aid. W. Owen asked how the name of Mr. J. B. Hamilton (tramways manager, Leeds Cori)-oration) appeared ti., I an expert in relation to omnibus powers. Aid, Matthews said there was a resolu- I tion authorising the committee to take I what steps they thought necessary. Mr. i Hamilton was one of the greatcst authori- I ties in the country on this question. The Town Clerk gave details of Mr. Hamilton's services. Ald. Owen protested against general I; resolutions carrying power to make such appointments. The minutes were adopted.

I- I DUNVANT EPIDEMSC. ) I Polluted Stream and Disease. I I I Swansea Rural District Council Sani- tary Committee met at Swansea on Mon- day, Mr. Dd. Jones (Gorseinon) in the chair. i SHOWMEN'S WATER. j Ane sanitary inspector reported that the showmen at present on the open sptlce I ?ear Brighton-road, Gorseinon, were cot 1 paying for the water they used. FROM STREAMS OR MAIN? it It was stated that there were about two dozen people there, and some trac- 1 tion engines. The showmen had said ) they carried water from the stream, but I they were getting it from the main. I On a suggestion being made that a It weekly charge should be made, a member i usked whether that would mean that they I would have to pay more to go on the I roundabouts. (Laughter). It was eventually decided to make a demand of SI per week retrospective for J one month. DIPHTHERIA AT DUNVANT. I The sanitary inspector reported that j there had been a serious outbreak of I' diphtheria at Dunvant in the Council's area, and in the areas belonging to the Swansea Council and the Gower Rural District Council. Having received com- j plaints of the offensiveness of the stream he found that 6it cottages on the Oowar! side of the. stream wero entirely without sanitary conveniences, with the result that the stream was polluted. There had been no less than 50 cases of diphtheria in the district. I The clerk was instructed to communi- cate with the Gower Council on the matter. I

DR. WALFORD DAVIES. I Amendment in Favour of Dr. I Vaughan Thomas Lost. I At Swansea Council on Monday, Mr. D. J. Davies moved that the name of Dr. Vaughan Thomas be substituted for that of Dr. Walxord Davies, director of mueical trainlng in Wales in an Education Gam- mittee request that he should confer with I the committee on musical education In the schools. Without comparing the merits of the two musicians, Mr. Davies pointed out Dr. Thomas's qualifications and his teach- ing experience, not only in Swansea, but elsewhere. Alderman B. Jones aecon led. Alderman David Matthews, Mr. D. Wil- liams, and the Director pointed out forcibly I that it was only in his capacity as Musioa.1 Director for WaJee that Dr. Walford Daries was appointed. I The amendment was lost, and' the minute adopted.

EGYPT. I To the Editor of the "Cambria Daily Lender." is a pitj1 uitw; t-ne agrpxians cannot scee their real poeition-what they need and what they might be. A few years ago, when Egypt wae crushed under the heels of the Arabs and the Turks, we, with France, interfered to protect the ncgupu &Dd to eafecuard the international ??j?- way, the Suez Canal. We did so w?t]?ee full approval of the civilised world, and brought order out of chaos and light out of the Egyptian darkness. But we could not retire from there, the Egyptian, being no match for the brave Soudanese and the flaming Turk. We consequently sent Kitchener, with others, to help them to shape their nobler destiny. This we did by stiffening their tottering and affrighted regiments with Scotch Highlanders, whose presence virtually gave Egypt bm-ok to the Egyptians. Yes, we have accomplished greater things in a few years in the land of the Pyramids than was done in countless ages previously. The country was stagnant; and there can be no glory in stagnation Àowever bright the surroundings; and there c.a.n be no hope for these people unless Britain, neav the eye of Heaven, gives it them. Like India, Egypt will be relieved of the Britiah when providence will have no work for them. But* we have to follow the whole co-ttroa. <)t their ancient and mvwtic river up to its very sourc-e Veyond the Equator, a/nd set suffering humanity free. That is Britain's privilege, and Egypt's gain. It is the exigency of the times and the rush of civilisation that is the cause. Through primeval forests and jung!e«barren deserts, and virgin soils we must go and liberate the poor native. Thi-oug,hout the ages he has suffered the. direst oppression, welcoming death as his finest liberator. But if Britain fail him where, then, is his; hope ? The Waters of the Nile, with their countless tears cf iiumkn woe from the dark lands away, will look all the grander carrying a British sail —the Emblem of hope, and life, and pros- perity—and all for the sake of mo-n and our creator patriotism. We have a. mission in Africa, and Egypot is the key of the contin- ent. Let the Egyptians assist the kind Power that would set them eternally free, and, by their freedom oountless others as well. And the infinite reeouroe of unex- plored lands must be developed for the good of the world. They shol-ild differentiate between being under the Worst Power on earth and the best. Yes, let the Egyptians
