MEETING OF PAINTERS AT CADOXTON. STIRRING ADDRESSES. On Mondav evening a meeting: of the Painters' Branch of the Amalgamated Trades' Union of Barry Dock was held at the Witchill Hotel, Cadox- ton. The objects of the meeting were to strengthen the position of the branch, and to hear addresses from Mr. Lamplough, of the London Council; Mr. Howell. Mr. W. Copp. &c. Mr. Thomas Thomas (Soi'th 71 ales Star") pre- sided. and, in the course of his opening address. said he was very glad to see so many there, and glad to think that their meeting was not to de- clare war against the masters, as they had last winter, but under more favourable circumstances —to try and get better organisation. They should be -prepared, and be strong at times even when they did not require strength because when the oppon- ents found they were strong they were less likely to be attacked. It was the duty of all Unionists to be constantly at work. (Hear, he?,r.) As society men it was not good at times of dispute to be over-enthusiastic, and at slack times to forget their enthusiasm. They should always be at work, and so be good Unionists. (Applause.) Not many years ago Trades' Unionists were almost regarded as criminals, but to- day, instead of the Trades' Unionists being regarded as criminals, a man who would not join with his fellow-workmen was considered a blackle" By being a blackleg a man admitted that he was not self confident, or could not do his work properly. The Chairman claimed that Trades Unionism was a great friend to all good and fair masters. It provided them with better workmen, and sheltered them from unscrupulous individuals. (Hear, hear.) It was also a protec- tion for workmen against unfair masters, and he enumerated the various advantages of Trades' Unionism, and what it had done for sailors, oolliers, &c. Members of their society felt their position as respectable men. and acted as such. In conclusion. Mr. Thomas said Trades' Unionism would never be felt as it ought to be until they had proper representatives on all public bodies. They were fortunate enough to have three representa- tives on the Burial Board—(laughter)—and they also had one on the School Board, but they would not be contented until they had one or more re- presentatives on the Local Board. (Loud ap- plause.) Mr. Lamplough next gave a very interesting address. He complimented the local Executive and the secretary (Mr. Howells) on their action durino- the strike of last winter. (Applause.) Everything- had been carried out m a grand manner which had had the approval of the London Executive. Mr. Howell's accounts were always fair and square, and not a farthing was spent above what the exigencies of the case demanded. He congratulated the men on having a strong back so that they had been able to hold out against the indignities offered them by the masters. There were some branches weak enough to cave in to the masters as soon as they were attacked. In illustration of this he instanced the action of the Dudley branch, and the result that followed, which, he said, in his opinion, they deserved. If they had followed the example of Barry their position would have been very different. They were there that evening to consider the position they had taken up. Trades' Unionism was defensible, it was worthy of defence, and worth putting their twopence a week into the funds Thev"were there to consider whether the Amalgamated Society had enough backbone to help on all its members when strikes occurred, and to consider how to get all outside their ranks in. (Hear, hear.) Sometimes the masters said they •couli1 not stand this Trades' Union, and took up a position accordingly when the difficulties occurred. If the masters looked at the thing from a. business point of view they would be staunch Trades' Unionists. He believed, as they all believed, in competition, and but for competition the world would not wag but they were foes to unfair compe- tition. (Applause.) They were quite prepared to back up anv masters if they were put into a tight place by any unfair competitors. (Applause.) Unfair competition was what all masters suffered from-the best masters especially—the men in business who were prepared to allow to their men fair conditions and fair remuneration for the article they had to put in the market. Generally speaking a master had to put in contract prices for the work, and if the masters would recognise none but union rates they would start fair in the -competition.. They would feel that the competi- tion would be fair because they would know the prices of the materials, and the) prices they would have to pay for labour. (Applause.) Masters should consider it just in the same rate as they had to contend with unfair competition, so had the unionists to contend with unfair non- unionists. The speaker next dwelt on the subject from a financial point of view, and deduced the many advantages gained by belonging to both the trade and benefit branches of the society. What, .however, they wanted to look at was not how it would serve them when they had died, but how they were going to live by it. (Hear, hear.) Their trade was their bread and butter; and the trade society stepped. in between an unscrupulous set of employers and the workmen, and said We -stand as buffers between your action and the men." Where would the men have been when they were taken to the Cardiff police-court if the society had not stepped in ? They would have been knocked down as nonentities. But the society stepped in and said We are as big as you and have some- body as big as you are to defend us." (Applause.) After declaiming with some warmth on the action of the blacklegs, Mr. Lamplough made a flattering reference to the press, and concluded with an earnest appeal to the men to stick together, and work steadily for the cause of Trades' Unionism (Applause.) Mr. Howells, who was warmly received, next gave an earnest address. He said he was pleased to see so many painters there.- and glad they were all Unionists, but he should like to see the eight or ten non-Unionist men working in Messrs. Morgan's shop there, too. (Hear, hear.) He hoped that Barry would not be last in Trades Unionism. They had representatives on the Burial and School Boards, and they were not going to rest contented until they had representatives on the Local Board; and then, after they had completed that, they must get a Labour candidate into Parliament for that division of the county. He regretted the weakness of the Masons' Branch of the Union, and quoted an instance where men had been kept at work up to 9.30 in the evening without receiving extra pay. (" Shame.") In alluding to the manner in which the painters stuck together in the strike Mr. Howells said only one man out of the 45 turned blackleg. (Applause.) He had been a marked man amongst the employers since the strike. A little time ago, when he was away, one of them inquired where he was. A friend replied, Gone away; but he is coming back- again." "Oh." said the employer, I thought he was home driving the plough If he had been doing eo he should not be ashamed. Next he alluded to the case of Mr. H. Davies, and said they need not go to Ireland for coercion they could see at home. and it, must be stopped. (Hear. hear.) The only em- plovers who could not see their way clear to sign the agreement with them were Messrs. Morgan and Dando. but lie hoped they soon would. Mr. Howells next referred to the payment given, and said he eould take them to a town where an em- ployer made a fortune in ten years, whilst his men had to toil on, year after year, on a scanty pittance, and at the end would not be much better off than when they commenced. ("Shame.") In their own towns their employers were able to take trips to France, race meetings, football matches, festivals, whilst they who toiled were obliged to be economical to keep good food and good clothes, and could not get into Cardiff more than once in a month at the most. (Hear, hear.) In conclusion, he expressed his pleasure at being able to do any- thing for the Society. Mr. Copp followed with a characteristic address, at the conclusion of which Mr. Howells proposed a vote of thanks to Mr. Lamplough—Mr. William Greenwood seconded, and the proposition was cirried unanimously. ,T r, Votes of thanks were also passed to Mr. Copp and the Chairman, which were acknowledged.—Mr. John Miles moved a resolution, "That this meet- ing of the painters of Cadoxton-Barry is of opinion that it is an absolute necessity that they Ibe members of the Trades' Union, and pledges itself to uphold its members." — Mr. Peters seconded, and it was carried unanimously.—A vote of thanks to the representatives of the Press, which w" acknowledged by Mr. Llewellyn Williams and Mr. Llewellyn, terminated the pro- ceedings.

THEFT OF MONEY AT CADOXTON. At the Penarth police court on Monday James I Vernon. seaman, late of Swansea, was charged with stealing a bag, containing X12 9s. Od., and three loose half-sovereigns from Frederick Hughes, at a lodging-house, 28, Holme-street, Cadoxton.— Frederick Hughes, of Argoed. said that on Satur- day last he was at Cadoxton at eight in the even- ing. He went to 28. Holme-street to get a lodging for the night, and afterwards went out, returning, about eleven. He hadn't seen the prisoner outside, but saw him in the house about 11.30. Witness was in the front room, and defendant came in then. He had no conversation with him, andwent to bed a little after twelve. He believed prisoner was then gene to the Dock. He had £ 13 19s. in his trousers' pocket. There were 12 sovereigns, three half-sovereigns, 5s. piece, a florin, and 2s. piece, a fourpeany piece, and a foreign coin. They were all in the purse produced except the three half-sovereigns. Several of the coins were jubilee coins. When he went to bed he left the purse in his pocket, and put his trousers under- neath his pillow. His bedroom door was unlocked. He was called next morning at 8.30 by the land- lord, Henry Phillips, and from what he said to him he examined his trousers. They had been'moved, and were on the end of his pillow All the money was gone, the bag as well. The landlord gave information to the police. He saw prisoner after- wards. and told him he had missed the money. Prisoner replied that he hadn't had it. There were two other beds in the bedroom, but he didn't know that the prisoner had slept there. Neither of the beds were occupied when he went to bed.—Carl Englishe, a French fireman. said on Saturday last he was lodging at 28, Holme-street, and slept in the same room as prosecutor. Prosecutor went to bed before him. Prisoner and witness went to bed at the same time —about 1.30 in the morning. He didn't see prisoner do anything. He woke up about eight the following morning. Hughes was in bed, but prisoner had gone. Henry Phillips, landlord of the boarding-house at 28, Holme-street, said prosecutor and prisoner stayed at his house on Saturday night last. He heard prisoner go out between six and seven on Sunday morning. He went up to Hughes and called him. The Frenchman woke him up and asked if prosecutor had money, as defendant had got up and gone out. Prisoner came back about 9.30. He said "What's this you've been doing, Jimmy ?" Defendant replied that he had done nothing, and was very much surprised at what had occurred. He told him it was no use his denying the theft, but he still affirmed he knew nothing about it.- Acting-sergeant Ben Davies said he apprehended the prisoner at half-past nine at 28, Holme-street, Cadoxton. At the Police Station he charged him with the theft. He cautioned him, and he said he knew nothing at all about the money, and didn't see why he should be locked up more than anybody else. This morning he accompanied the prisoner to the east side bank of the timber pond at Barry Dock. Prisoner pulled up a stone, dug out three inches of earth, and pulled out the bag containing the whole of the money—all but one shilling. At the Police Station prisoner was searched, and 2 £ d. 2 was found upon him.—Defendant pleaded guilty, and said lie found the money beside him when. he woke up on the Sunday morning, but didn't recol- lect how he had got it. He got up and went out feeling ashamed of himself, and not knowing what to do. He came back to tell the I- Missus." but she was not up, and as he was running for the house, he went out to look after two men, and hid the money beside the timber pond. He had no in- tention of stealing the money, but when he came back the policeman was there, and took him into custody.—Defendant was committed for three. months' hard labour.

MANOR FARM DAIRY, DAUny. One of the most frequent complaints made oy inhabitants of towns is that the quality of the milk which is sold is not equal to that of the country, and that it is almost impossible to get really good cream. So widespread and deep-rooted was the evil that the legislature had to step in and make it impossible, except under severe penalties, for unscrupulous milk vendors to sell chalk and water, and even worse, as pure milk. In spite, however, of the severity of the law and the vigilance of the authorities, the inhabitants of a town are too often at the mercy of the milk-sellers. During this year several vendors of milk have been prosecuted at the Barry Dock and Penarth Police Courts for selling adulterated milk, and heavy penalties have been inflicted on them. It is therefore of much importance that a large and growing district like Barry to have an old- established firm in their midst, which has a credit to keep up and a character to lose. We are glad +0 find that the public are showing their apprecia- tion of the efforts of Mr. Sydney Cooksley, the enterprising proprietor of the Manor Farm Dairy 72, High-street, Barry, to supply the district with pure milk and really good cream. Mr. Cooksley supplies pure warm milk, fresh cream, butter, and eggs, as well as milk specially kept for the nursery and for invalids. The farms on which the cows are fed are under the inspection of Mr. W. R. Jermyn, M.R.C.V.S.L., and Mr. Frank Leigh, M.R.C.V.S.L. Mr. Cooksley sends a delivery cart to all parts of the district twice daily, and we are glad to hear that the community is extending to him that degree of patronage to which his enter- prise and the excellent quality of his goods so richly entitle him.
