ACTION AGAINST THE NEATH TRAMWAY COMP AN Y. HEAVY PENALTY IMPOSED. At the Neath County Police-court this (Friday) merning, the Neath Tramway Com- pany were turmoned by the Glamorgan COunty Council for not keeping and maiu- LINING their rails in proper condition and S. T. Evans, M.P. (instructed by lIr. W, H. David), represented the County Couneil, and Mr. H. P. Charles represented the DEFENDANT company,—Mr. S. T. Evans, in hPening the ease, explained that the action" *^3 keen taken by Mr. Lloyd Edwards, •^RREYOR to the Glamorgan County Council. AHEIR worships would remember that on the oth of February of this year they imposed a Penalty of £420 on the COMPANY for not eom- plying with A previous order of tho court, ^!NE« that time, bowever, in the case of S^EEN v. Slade it had bean decided that continuing penalty could not be IMPOSED for more than six months, ■therefore, the company had succeeded in &V*iding the payment. The present action to secure a penalty from the 28th of FEBRUARY last up to the 20th August* It was wrought so much for the sake of punish- *ng the company, but to compel them to keep •heir rails in Droper repair in the interests THE public who used the highway.—MR. —• M. Davies gave evidence AS to the BAD condition of the rails. In cross- lamination, he admitted that the company HAD carried some slight repairs. He was **rare that leave had fcsen granted the Coun- cil by Mr. Justiee North, to distrain upon the PROPERTY of the company, and that an appeal *SAMST that decision was pending. He •SIEVED the debenture holdeM would have to bear the burden OF the distraint, if it were ^TRE made. Mr. Lloyd Edwards gave corroberative evidonee, Mr. H. P. Charles beld that it was very hard upon tne unfor- iunate company which had no assets; that SHOAM HE sought to recover K retrospective penalty. If such a Penalty wero IMPOSED innoeent persons ^OULD be punished. The evidence for the COMPLAINANT only showed slight defects in the rails, and J e asked ttaeir worships ts impose penalty for the first day of the offence oaly. LIE aetion of the county council had crippled THE debenture holders, for the roponll of the proceeding3 HAD appeared in the PreSR, and no loans could be negotiated. If the bench put another load on their backs in the shape of the continuing penalty it would f J^ODER their position still More difficult.— -the Beach, after a short consultation, im- a penalty of £5 for the í::8th February, *ND 10s. yesterday for the intervoning 172 and granted an advocating lee.

SWANSEA MUNICIPAL I ELECTIONS. ST. THOMAS. We understand that Mr. William Tarr. of the Cubit Inn, 1.:5t. Thomas, has contented to stand as a candidate for municipal honours at St. Thomas in the forthcoming elections in Swansea. A Post reporter met a well-known St. Thomas policeman this morning, and con- versation turned on the forthcoming elec- tions. "From what I can see we shall ha.ve a lively time when November comes." "ihen Mr. William Evans is to have oppo- aition ? I "Oh, rather," responded he. Mr. William Tarr, of the Cuba Hatel, ig ta stand. Mr. William Walters was, I understand, asked to contest the ware, but he refused.1' Anybody else coming out ?" U Well, I hear that there is a probability U Well, 1 hear that there is a probability of Mr. J. 11" Lee, coming out as a labour candidate. INJ told that his action depends upon the trades council If they decide to run another labour candidate I fancy Mr Lee will withdraw, but I am not quite sure. i don't fancy that Mr. William Evans would have been opposed had he not so id en tilled himself wilt) the Liberals at tho last election. Mr. Evans isn'tquile in with the Trades' Council at the present time, I think so that if the light is a. three-cornered one tho labour people will, I think, have a chance.

RHONDDA AND -SWANSEAI BAY…
RHONDDA AND SWANSEA I BAY RAILWAY, NO REPORT YET ISSUED. I The following appears in t'so linanco column of the WtSlern- Mail to-day:—" T T e half-yearly meeting of the lLfco;U.da and Swansea Bay Railway Cotup»ny is announced to take place on the 3iht of AUGUST at Swan- sea, but up to tiie present time no report has been istued, and this seems a rather strange proceeding, as it is stated that after the half-yearly meeting an extraordinary meeting will be held for the purpose ef creating additional capital. It is stated, how- eyer, that this capital CAN only bo issued at a premium, and as the ordinary SHAREHOLDERS did NET reueive a dividend LAST half-year, the issuing of new capital will be enly putting the ordinary shareholders in a worse position than they are in now. The general ieelingia that already too much capital has been expended en this undertaking, and only under very exceptional circumstances can a divi- dend be paid to ordinary proprietors."
I PITIABLE CASE AT LLANELLYI
PITIABLE CASE AT LLANELLYI DISGRACEFUL STATE OF AFFAIRS. INDIGNATION OF THE I GUARDIANS. At the meeting of the Elanelly Board ef I Guardians held en Thursday morning, Mr. T. Seymour in the chair, the master of the Workhouse reported that on Monday I evening a woman naaaed Elizabeth Davies, wife of John Danea, mason, 3, Cemetery lane, Capel Newydd, Llanelly, and six children, were admitted mto the worKhouse. The woman was iu a. pItiable eonditieu, and was at present in tho work- house hospital. The children (the eldest being feurte.U years of age, and the youngest six- months) were all in a most filthy con- dition, IIDIL their heads a mass of vermin, a.ud wearing no clothes to speak of. John Lavies, the husband, was called before the board, and when asked to explain the condition of bis family, said that it was the J fault of his wife, who had stopped the washerwoman from attending, and the chil- dren in consequence got into a bad state. He had been a teetotaler for 18 months, but three weeks age ho again began drinking. He haei been earning £ 2A week and gave liis wife 3bs" keeping 5111 for himself. He admitted that the children were in a very bad stale, and naid that he was very sorry. Mr, Seymour: Sorry, you ought to be ashamed of yourself. A man earning good wages 111,e you have done and then to let your family tret in such a state. There ought to be a law to give you and men like vou the cat and hard labour. Mr Thomas Thomas said that he asreed ¡ with Mr Seymour. After some very strong remarks had been passed by ether members, the chairman proposed that the woman and her children be kept. in the workhouse until they got better, and that Davies should contribute a sum of 25s. per week towards their maintenance, otherwise proceedings to be tauen against I11 M and also that Lavies should place his house in a habitable condition. These terms were communicated to Davies, who suid that he would try and pay. Before Davies retired the chairman again spoKe very strongly to him, saying that they would have no mercy 011 him, and that he (the chairman) would always do his best to punish men of his stamp. The woman had only been C'.uen in timo from him I' or she would have died.

THE TIN PLATE THADE.
THE TIN PLATE THADE. THE STRIKE AT LLANELLY. SETTLEMENT THIS MORNING. What will be hailed with the reitest satis- faction by the whole of the trade through- out South Vtal"s is the intdlicen, e that a. satisfactory settlement has been brought about at Llanelly of the strike there. Since the beginning of July last the work- men employed at the Did Castle, Old Lodge, and Western Works have been idle owin.; te a dispute between the masters and the men over the 1874 list. This (Friday) morning a conference betweeu Messrs. Ernest Trubsliaw, Joseph Ivlavbery. and Phillip Parenrine, and a deputation representing the workmen was held at the Athenaeum Hall. The proceed- iugs were private, the press representatives being refused admission. Our Llanelly representativej however, was c i a I I y informed that Mr. Tom Phillips, general secretary ot the Tin platers' Union, on behalf of the men, made an offer to work one turn of eight hours for nothing provided that the 1374 list was returned immediately afterwards. The masters, however, were not prepared to accept this compromise, and demanded that the men should work four turns for nothing. After this proposal was made by the masters another meeting of the men was held. and they decided to "split the by offering the mastert. to work twe hours in view of a 12I per cent. reduction, the two turns to be special over a period or two months, and a start be made as toon as prac- ticable. This resolution was conveyed to the masters, with the result that they accepted it, and an agraement to the effect was signed by MR. Trubshaw on behalf of the masters, and by MR. Themas Phillips, on behalf of the men. After the settlement, a meeting of the workmen was held, Mr. David Davies, Dela- beech-street, in the chair at which there was a unanimous loeliug or pleasure and satisfaction that the dispute had been so amicably settled. The agreement applies to the Western, Old Castle, and Old Lodge Wsrks. In the light of whttt Mr. Protheroe, manager of the Burry Works, i-aid last Saturday, that he was prepared to fall in with these three wcrkjf, it is thought ti- at the Burry will also re-start at enee. Tiiere is every reason te believe, therefore, that before the end of next week all the works in the Llanellv district, with the exception of the Morfa, will be in full swing. STRIKE PAY. For the first time the Llanelly men received striko pay freru the funds of the union yesterday (Thursday), this is the ninth weak of the struggle. Mr Thomas Phillips brought money down during the after- noon, and the distribution com- menced immediately. The Old Castle and Old Lodge men of both departments, and the mill department of the Western received 108 eneb. The Burry men, however, and alto those of Morfa and the tinhouse department of the Western Works, were indignant at not receiving any. IT is stated that only tho&e men who remained faithful IO the Union received strike pay.— SIR Phillips announced that the Morfa men would receive pay te-day ^Friday 1. THE MultFA FUND.

THE CADLE DIVINE, TO THE EDITOR OF THE 11 DAILY POST." SIR,—On reading the report of to-d&ys meeting of the Board of Guardians I am struck by THE inconsistency of the Rev." J. Davies (C. utc When speaking to tile reso- lution rc and Elections," he is r. ported t.) :.>*■ said: "As a. minister 01 the gospel and A TEMPER is nee iecturer he must hold up the TCRF' FRANCO flagon every occa- sion." INOW. sir, WAS L1 J conduct at the earlier stage of the meeting when the chairmanship was being discussed, and later doling the discussion of the resolution ABOVE reierred 1. consistent with remarks suc-N as these. 1 think his general conduct ai. meetings of the different boards, or which be has the honour j of BE'^TG a member, is such as to tempt even a conscientious tub I abstainer to RUJLI oat and lollow St. P-tu) s advice to Timothy when he toid him "to take a. little wine for his stomach's stake, —ours, ISL LTE!II

Margaret Rogers, better known as "Mad Maggie, made an attempt to enter Swansea Workhouse last evening, ana the police had to be called in before Margaret would cease her supplications.

Mr. Bowles, of the Swansea Coachbuiiders' Union, who has been asked to contest the Victoria Ward at the forthcoming municipal election, told a Post reporter that he has not yet definitely made up his mind I whether to offer himself as a candidate. He states thiit if he comes out, it will not be altogether as a labour candidate, and he I will not run on party lines. There were enly two cases before the SWANSEA magistrates (Messrs. J. G.

SWANSEA JOINERS STRIKE.
SWANSEA JOINERS STRIKE. MASS MEETING OF ARTIZANS. PLEDHES OF SUPPORT. A meetmr of the Swansea carpenters and joiners aftectod by the dispute at present existing in tiio local building trada was held at the Working Men's Club on Thursday evening. There wf.o a good attendance- Mr. Isaac Evans, miners' ageut, Skewen, pre- sided, and among those present were repre- sentatives of various trades, whe included Messrs. Morgan Hopkin, William Rogers, A- Allery. iisk, Bevan, R. S. Richards, Beck, O Conneil, and E. J. Clark (joiners' secre- tary). The CHAIRMAN said, as a representative of one industry, he could not refuse to assist .hose teelongiBg to anot! er, and henca his attendance. Representatives of various trades were present to help all they could. The joiners were now battling for the rights of labour. It might be the turn of another trade next. lie had read the correspondence between the two sides, and he had come to tha conclusion that the masters had violated the agreement. A desire, had been expressed to meet the masters, but the latter had refused, and he considered their case was a wea.k one in cous?queijco. (Cheers.) if the masters believed the men had no case, whv, in the name of eomiv.on sense, did they not meet them. (Cheers.) They did not need to strike. There was provision for arbitration, and if the men's ease was a weak one, why did not the masters proceed to arbitration ? (Cheers.) If their sympathy limshed in that rosm it would not be worth showing. He hoped that practical sympathy would be shown. He would remind them that many battles hau been lost through the want of powder and shot. It was iti-advised to s-trike without funds, but when once the blow had been delivered they must back it up. (Applause.) He did not think their tenders would advise a striko at an inopportune niorusnt. The cause of labour was a just one, and he hoped tho day was not far distaut when capita! and labour would be able to shake hands and, with justice to all, exchange the kiss of peaee. (Applause.) They had beard a lot about old- agepensions, but to his utindthesc-hemewasno nearer than twenty years ago. They must provide their own [ ensions. (Hear hear.) Whilst they had health and strength they must labour to that eutf, 'or they would be more respectable and more thought of, than if others were to provide for them. (Hear hear.) But they could not do without sulli- cieut renumcralion, and he hoped that the vounger men would take the advice not to souander their earnings, tout to devote them to their improvement. (Applause.) Mr. WILLIAM ROGERS, of the Operative Stonemasons' bociety, moved a resolution condemning the action of the masters in ignoring Clauses 8 and 9 of the agreement, thereby causing the present di«puie, lne masons, lie said, weuhi help luo joiners all they could. He n i his society could not see whv the ttiasifiis should Dot adojrt arbitra- I tion. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Albert Allery, of the Plasterers' Union, seconded the resolution, and said the cause of ene t'-&de was the cause of all. He regretted that they had not a building traoes federation. (,He*r, hear. Mr. FiSii, treasurer of tha Joiners'boeicly, said they were only asking ior what they asked four years ago. O11 that occasion they got ;td. advance, and tho meters charged the vubl'c Id. ior it. The s^-reemcnt ha.1 been observed by the men, but broken by the I, masters. Every otter was made tcr arbitra- tion, but re I'used, and the mabtcrs could not have treated them worte if they had been tiogf. Ho fblt eenfiden.1, however, that they would beat the masters. Let them light to II the bittur end. (Applause.) lie detested strikes, but v hat could tiisy do but fight their hardest against dishonesty. That was the first strike they hact had for 20 years, and he hoped they would not have another for 30 latere. (Appiause,) He supported the resolution. Mr, BETVAN abo spoke, and ridiculed the I employers' statement that trade would not allow any alteration. He contended that such conduct as that of the Swansea masters would force on the Government establishment of conciliation boards. (Cheers.) Mr. MoncAN HOPKIN said he was there to sympathise with them, and not to endeavour to instruct them how to settle their difficuiLy. They had had adsputatioa before a committee I of the council that day. No expression of epinien wp.s given by the committee, as they thought thev might prejudice the con- tract, and probably laud ttiem into legal difficulties. His advice was that they showid come before the next council, though he felt sure the dispute would be over by then. (Hear, hear.) He hoped still that they weuid have arbitration en the subject, (Hear, hear.) The C if AIRMAN said the masters had violated the rules, and the biame must be placed on their shoulders, ( Hear; hear.) The resolution was unanimously carried. Mr, R. 8. KICLIAK. s (-Painters' Society) said his trade had decided to support the joiners. He moved a resolution oi sympathy with the carpenters and joiners oh strike, and pledging the meeting to assist them by every legitimate means. (Hear, hear.) I every legitimate means. (Hear, hear.) Mr. DECK (Plasterers; seconded. M¡'. CLAKK, secretary of the Joiners' Society, supported the resolution, and said it was not correct to say that trade was worse than before. It was better, as could be shown bv the returns of the unemployed. (Mear.hoar) The fact that wages were going up was an indication that trade was improving. (Hear, hear). The joiners were entitled to the sup- port of everyone in Swansea. The employers forced the men out on strike, or cite they would have lost the fruits of 25 years' work. If they had given way they would have had no guarantee that the rules would not have been lurfciier demolished. (liear, heat). The wasters might think they would starve the men into submission, but there were less than 100 on the books now, and there was no need to fear. (Hear, hear). They had suffered too much, and had spent too much money, and were too ncar winning to accept arbitration. The masters uad asked for and forced a strike. Let the;n have a bellyful of strike: All the same, strikes we» riot pleasant tilings, and be hoped they would not have another for 30 years. (Hear, hear.) They were not fighting only for id. per hour aud arbitration, but aiso for snorter hours, so that the work might be shared all round. (Applause.j lie should lIke to tell themtnat the masters had got a man from Devonshire who, in consequence of his father once losing money over a strike, boasted that ho went into every strike he could so as to smaah it up. The smasher was lodging with a minister of religion in Swansea ("Name") a minister who three years ago spoke from 0 trades union platform. It was said that peopie wno went neither to church or cbaptl were mfiaels. Ke did not believe that, but how could they be surprised at people staying awav, when those who were supposed to slu w the path of (ruth and righteousness were such livprocrites? (Applause.; In conclusion the speaker said ho h:id h:<.d a letter irom Mr. Bur me savin;- that he should be ^iati if iio eouid be cf service in trying to g«t the dispute terminated, ana sugt;eiting that a J conference of the two parties, presided over by some one agreed upon, might have that result. (Cheers.) He had a better lettev, however, fioni Mr. Christopher James, who said thev had his sympathy^ and he hoped they would be successful. (Cheers. Questions were then invittd, :nd in response to i*. unanimous call, the Seeretaryr saici ihe name of the minister he had re! erred to wan the i.cv. Jonn Cory, oi Belio Vue Chapel. Mr. William Thomas, Mr. Squires, Mr. Ilowell, and Mr. Abraham Praams followed, and tho resolution wan carrie i unanieieiisly. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings,
