The linpiate Crisis. *0 WHO IB EESP0NS13LE FOE THE DEADLOCK? I I SERIOUS DIVISION AMONG THE I MEN'S LEADERS. FIRM ATTITUDE OF THE MASTERS I WHY THEY REJECTED ARBITRATION. At the outset of the joint conference of masters and men at Swansea on Tuesday. Mr. Trubshaw, who presided, aked the suit of the ballot on the 24 per cent, off. r made by trie roisters at the last joint con- ference. Mr. John HIJ:1:c, said several thousands of t-lie men had voted in favour of the demani fG{ the five per cent, advance, and less than bu for the offer of the employers. The chairman stated that the mastc 9 had decidei to witniraw their offer, and then asked if there were SDV new arguments iu favour cf the men s case. Mr. Jchn Hodge, speaking as the repre- sentative of the millmen members of the Steei Smelters' Union, said he was not going to repeat the arguments he had advanced fr-v previous conferences, bet he wished however, to emphasise ttio fact that ground rents, or- gao.ising and marjagement expenses, were a.ways treated as a f xed charge. Why then, he asked, should not mens waeres b dealt ■ with in a, similar way? The landlord iixed hIS charges, tinen why not the labourer thi ] price of his labour? Proceeding, Mr. Hcdgj pointed cut that from Januaiy last year til. October, the prices of raw materials weie not so higu as they are now, and the proiit of the employers were abnonnai. Be did not say this witiiout due sense of its responsi bility, but he would even add that curing ieos per: a.å too, the employers enj jyea normal reduecioiii.—io-c.d out of the men. If present proilts WCTG not all tha masters desired, they could balance one pet-iod with the ether, but he ".vould rage tnem not- to forget that if raw materials to the govexaing factor when raw mrve. were at their lowest pe-int, reductions were a.t their highest. Another reason for the advance was tnat some cmnicyers. instead of ^paying on the basis of area, as was pro- vided by the 1874 list, paid by the weight of sneets. and had a, tasty hebit of putting light iron in tlie mills, with the result that tiis nulimen had to roll a greater fiurober or sheets to make up the weight than otherwise would This was a reduction, anei afforded another j testification for the ad- vttnee. Mr. Ben Tiilett concurred with the views exoressed by Mr. Hodge. The Cha'.xmon said his information wir'i regard to pro-its wos very different. Fn iuaoy works money had been lost. In the course cf the discussion the masters offer of 2 per cent., with the condition that the men should fellow the machinery, was 1 dealt with.. Mr. Thomas Philips advocated settlemcn* on the basis o.f a bU6 agreement binding th); masters to pay the 1874 list, without any I advonce. Mr. Trubshaw o-nd the employers approved of this idea. exDtessing wil1.illgns to pav it till dune, 1301. j Mr. Hodge, however, suggested a. full corl- ference cf masters and men to deal with th question of "fü¡hwing the machinery." H disapproved of the suggested settlemfiit on a 1374 list bases. He would not agree to the quest on cf a:lvance, and tha.t of "make" be- < ill,g so imxed up. and in view of the master?" withdrawal of their offer of 2 pEr cent., would not even d.scuss the latter matter. 1 Some of the employeis, replying, said thev could not concede the advance. •! Tha men's representatives pointed out there was no ether course open but to let the notices run their cdfirae. Mr. Hodge asked if the employers meant' for the men to cease work at the end of th; month, there being a doubt as to the legality I of the notices which had been sent in. Th\? I employers, he contended, had received sufli cieiit intimation of the desires and the detet ■ 1' mmations of the mT., bet he on Mon- da.y declined to enforce the notice as froiu Monday last, as he did not believe in ente. j • ing a conference to discuss any matter with a drawn sword in his hand. At the san.e j' time, he thought his lette- to the Assoeea- tioa ought to suffice a-s a notice in the of th eir failiEj to come to an understanding at that conference. 'Personally, he held that the men had a right to cease work at anv j • moment, his contention being that th" neent which expired lust March covered tern; of employment as well as wage rates, and that the men had since combined to veors i I merely for the convenience of the employers The Chairman. sa,Q he couii not nnswer th? question. J i Mr. Hodge: Will you let us have an an- The Chairman said he could not make any 11 promise. I :\1r, Hodge said it was evident that they ha.d now arrived at a d adlock, and as the j Board had been formed *ith the object of preventing strikes and lock-outs, the only [ open course now was to ll in an arbiter, The Chairman said they must absolutely) deciuee to agree to arbitration, because the 1 men and their leaders bad refused to arbit- rate on another question. Mr. Hodge sa d that was new to him. and considered it would b well to jet fuller particuiiiis. The Choirman aid the case he referred to was recorded in the minute bocks, and "t nad to do with the patent pot at the Berry Works, Vanelly, in con- n-ecior. with which Mr. Orbell said he would not on av condition agree to aibi.ration. Mr. OrbeU challenged the accuracy of s'atement, saying the facts related bv Mr. Trnbshaw had been made to look veiy bed • fc-r the men. At the time it was clears understood that before they cculd agree to ?.i-b:tra'io-n it wc-eld be necessary to go back to the. men and ask for further powers. The Chairman said he, at tha time, thOU41 the refusal of such supreme importance that he had it specially recorded, on the minutes, and when it had b-en drawn out and read, Mr. Orbeil did disapprove of it. It wai now too late in the day to attach condition- Mr. Oibill ainrmea that tbev entered into the discvssioi of the Burry question wiea plenary pow-ers, limited by the condition that they could not agioa to arbitration until they had rsceiVfcd sp eeial instructions so Mr, Hodge remarked that to him it seeni"a a great injustice that because of t-hi action of a section of men others should be pen*- i, Ilsed a a consequence, r j ^stcrs, however, were firm, and re- 3^'b nation. The result was that the conference uroke up without any settlement, snd with eVeiV- oae in a painful state oi uncertainty as »o i the vincuiy of the notices nt in.

I K0EKIST0H PROPERTY ACTION. I UNDER-SHERIFF'S COURT AT SWANSEA. The Ujjder-sheriS (Mr. David lsaaci held a j court at the Guildhall, Swansea, on Wednes- clay morning with a special jury by virtue cf a writ of inquiry issued out of the Swansea District Registry of the Queen's Bench Divi- sion in the act:on John I tyd Ddlwyu Nichol IV. Edward Williams. The -daintiff, who re- sides at Merthyrmewr. Bridgend, has s. ed in the high court defendant, who :s a grcc r. re- siding at Woodficld-street Moirlst-on. for pcs- session and mesne promts in regard to oerta n property at Moriiston. The It g con-t.iad, ioand for the plaint'ff, but point bee, 1"2- mitted regarding ihe asse cf the m sue proats. Air. D. Lleif r Thnlls, hard tsf- t- i wW (instructed by Mr. T. W. J im s) pp ared foi the pliintiff. and Mr. R. J. Lloyd r.p.e- j ¡,e"t0d the def ndant. The Under-Sheriff, addressing the jury, sa'd they had to nd what damages the plaintiff was entitled to undep the judgment obtained bv him in the action. Mr. R. J. Lie yd, fer the defendant, said in reference to that, the judgment- read that the plaintiff recovered possession cf the land, to- j geiher with mesne prorits. Not a word was there as to damages. He thought it would be well to clear that <up, so as to shorten the in- quirv. If they were going to inquire as to mesne prodts, he was prepared to go on; but he objected to anything outside 'the judgment being discussed. Mr. D. Lleufer Thou la-s It really makes no difference, bacauss in the contemplation of law the mesne profits were in the nature of damages. The argument proceeded a.t some length. Eventually Mr. Lleufer Thomas admitted | that the judgment- was as to mesne profits, and it was decided to eliminate from the in- quiry anything as to consequential damages. Mr. Lleufer Thomas then opened the case, and said the action lad references to six houses and shops situated in WoodSeld-street, the; leading thoroughfare of Moriision, in one cf which the defendant resided. The claimed as the assignee of the original lessors, Mr. Dillwyn and wife, the defendant iJillg executor de-soa-toit of his own act of the last of the lives in question. The lease exp red in June, 18S8, and defendant had been in posses- s:on of the premises, by his tenants, since then, j Various efforts were made to induce the defen- drjru to render an account of the rents. Ever sinc-j June, 1393 the defendant ha.d, in the eye of the law, been a trespasser, and hai to account" not only for every penny he had re- | ceived, but for every penny he ought to have received, including out-stsndiag arrears. Tha plaintiff might have claimed for consequential damages th'!t might have been srE cred, but, as had been stated, he did not desire to do that. An effort was made by plaintiffs agent to col'ect. the rents, but there appeared to be a consp racy between the tenants and the defen- j dant not to pay. In round figures, the plain- tiff claimed £12.), whereas the defendant V.t it at £4Q. The rum and substance cf the case, j argued the learned counsel, as to who was to be responisble- for the outstanding arrears of r2nt./ He contended that the person who held possession was liable, ] Lewis D. Nieholl, plaintiff's agent, gave evidence, and submitted a tabulated statement showing that a balance was due to the estate of £80 8s. Defendant had mode an applica- j tif] fcr a new lease of the whole block, with: certain reservations as to the bach land, at | JB51 per annum, which was considerably in excess of the rate at which the plaintiff was now claiming. Several efforts were made to get a detailed statement and vouchers, but he had never been able to obtain a proper account of what had been received, aaid consequently nothing was left but to bring an action. Cross-examined by Mr. Lloyd, witness said he had no recollection of ever having asked: to collect the rents, and admitted that he took no steps to collect the rents on the expiration of the lea.se. Witiaess would not be surprised to hear that plaintiff's solicitor wrote in June, j, 1899, asking defendant to "continue to collect the rents." Then why do you call him a trespasser?—I haven't called him a. trespasser but techni- cally I take it from what Mr. Lleufer Thoma.s 1. has said that he was a trespasser. j. Witness said they took the action to recover the property and the rents they wanted, too, the money which was due from the property, Mr. Lloyd: Haven't we paid you every penny we have received from the property? Witness: I have no knowledge of that. I can't say. During an argument the defendant's solici- tor said he intended to prove that there were no prodts due to the plaintiff. Mr. Lleufer Thomas rep ied that the very terms of the judgment acknowledged there were profits due to the plaintiff, and the jury h3d been called together to assess the amount. John F. Duvies, clerk to the previous wit- ness. in cross-examination spoke of the rents he collected by arrangement with defendant's solicitor, but the amount be collected was not j handed over to Mr. Llovd, but to Mr. Nieholl. On October 16th, 1899, lie got Mrs. Clarke, one of the tenants, to sign a document to attorn, which he presumed meant a transfer of the, property from defendant to plaintiff. He asked all the other tenants to do so too, but ih-ey refused. Witness had looked at the rent books when he called. He denied that defen- j dant had handed over more than he had actu- allv received from the tenants. This closed the plaintiff's case. Mr. Lloyd said he was unable to call the de- fendant, who was seriously ill diabetes, Mr. Lleufer Thomas having addressed the; Jury, i Mr. Lloyd asked the registrar to take a note of the following two points:—(1) That the; plaintiff cannot make a claim for mesne Droiets at any period subsequent to an offer by tha defendant to give up poss sion (2) when the paitv in possession is not the trespasser, hen until his title is made vc:d by enjoy, m ine p.oSts can only be reoovred from the date of such entry. His authority was "Marne on Damages." In February, 1899, he (Mr. Lloyd) on behalf of the defecdant. offered by to give up possession. From his own knowledge he was certain that Mr. WJHams Ind ac' d honestly by the prop'rty. Mr. Nieholl hod acted in haste and had made a nrstrke in taking that action, because a.t the time he thought there were eight houses to be FC- counted for and not six. As a matter of fact, the defendant had paid mo-re than he h-d re- ceived, simply because he was not much of a scholar, and was willing to moke ? mist ke on the right side. In fact, the defendant hod not deducted a penny for commission, and he had been worried and bothered and bedge.ed, although there was rerllv nothing in the5 c?se. The learned advocate said he would not be sur-1 prised to find that Mr. Nieholl would pay the defendant's costs. The Under sheriff having explicitly and ably summed up, th3 jury retired, and in ten j minute? returned with a verdict as follows :— "Th? jury are unanimously of opinion tret j the defendant has paid in all 7hit io and suggests that tbo plaintiff should-with- J draw the statement- that there was any con- spiracy. Tlio Under Sheriff: You find there are no damages ? The Foreman None whatever. | Mr. Lleufer Thomas applied for costs. The plaintiff proceeded with perfect r- gu'ari ty. He had very great pleasure in withdrawing the statement that there htid been any kind cf conspiracy in the matter. The Under Sheriff said he did not know that he hod the power on a writ of inquiry t.o make any order as to costs. It would t>e- for 'he parties to apply to the court. Mr. Lloyd Quite so but I suggest that the other side should have to pay. (Laugkt r).

Ro:s wrote to the L'anelly School j Board on Tuesday, stating that he had ac-j cppted the effer of Sir Arthur Stepney to sell the freehold oi Coppcrworb? School.—The Clork submitted an eseimate of the monks re- j quired for the ending 25th March, 1901. which amounted to ;et3,4-1-9.-It was resolved that a i precept b issued on the overseers lor C,,300 whicli means a rate, of ircm is. 7d. to Is. Bd. in the L. A notice has been issued at the Old Castle I Works, Llaneiiy, asking the workmen to specify what doctor they wish to attend them, and their mcmey^for that doctor will be re-'l tained at the otEce. It will be within the recollection of orllr readers that we announced j some time ago that- Dr. J. L. Davies had been appointed, and that the management had re- fus&d to keep the fees in the 04nee. This matter is under consideration wth the men, who, we understand, have written to the management, respectfully suggesting that the management has nothing to do with the ap- pointment. Nothing definite has yet been settled. An exceedingly pleasant entertainment was! giien at the St. Gabriel's Parish Hall on Tues- L day evening, the proceeds being devoted to- w?ras the building iund. The programme was rranged by Miss Gaydoii, and save the utmost I satisfaction to the targe and fashionably(com-'j pony present. Amongst those who took part' were Mrs.. Turner and Mrs. Gage. Misses | Marion Evans, M-srgsret Hooper, Elsie Brad- j ford. C. K. and 0. Gaydon, Vera Davie?, Mar-1 tin, Messrs. Renssalin-Lcgrand and C. John-1 son, and Master A. Swindell (Llaneiiy). The; singing was excellent, whilst the dare;-ug. which was the most predominant feature in the I programme, was graceful, and surpassed any-! thing yet seen that ball. At Tuesday's meeting of the Works and Sanitary Committee cf the Swansea Corpora- tion (AldernHtn, J. M. Mayne) presiding, the ai sl inspector of nuisances, Mr. Lleweiyn Davioe, sated that his clerk was about leaving for another appointment, and rpplicd that his (the inspector's) son should be brought into the office—to start as office boy.— Alderman Harris said he did not care for father and son being in the same offbe. He had said the same thing in reference to the borough ac- c-ountant, Mr. Hopton, and his son. There were many little advantages a man could put into the way of his son to the disadvantage- of others. At- any rate to begin "with, the so7i should make the application.—The matter was loft until next Monday's meeting, it being understood that Davies, junior, should make the application. A considerable flutter has been occasioned in Nonconformist circles at Swansea, owing to the resignation, threatened or actual, of the pes-tor of one of the most prominent churches in the town. For some time rcist the rev. gentleman's orthodoxy has been regarded with suspicion by some of the more prominent J su P] members cf his church, including a number of yvio "limar was TRacbpd a. few days ago, when a sermon vras preached by the j minister which produced what may be de- scribed as a heated controversy between the preacher and the church officers. Some re- ma.rks were uttered which disclosed the un- pleasant fact that brotherly love was "below par," the result being that there is a likelihood of the church being shortly mimus a. pastor. It is 1A. be hoped that matters will be smoothed over, inasmuch as the departure of the minis- ter in question from Swansea would be a dis- tinct loss to the town. In connection with the application rf Mr. Jenkin Jones (magistrates' clerk at Swarseo) for an increase cf salary, the members cf the Swansea Town Council on WednesdTy received a communication from the Town Clerk giving them information as to the amount rf salaries paid to magistrates' clerks in the ch'ef towns cf the country. It shows that of the 22 towns mentioned 12 pay higher, and six lower salaries than Swansea, the biggest fixed salary be'ng that paid at Bolton, with a population of 162.030 against Swansea's 102,003. The fees and costs of the court at Bolton are given at £1,421, and at Swansea as £ 1,175. C f the 22 j cases mentioned there are only- seven in which the court costs and fees exceed those at SwaTI- sea. Among the towns at whi('b better salaries are paid than at Swnnsea are Yo:k, P'ymovth, M, jt Southampton, Stockport, and St. L of which'have smaller populations, and. with the exception of Solithamoton. der'v^ les* fees. Mr. Jenkin Jnnes holds four ether rp- pointments besides that of mag:strates' clerk at Swansea, but the solaiies nre not giv.n; wheras he is also allowed private proctice.

We halted wh.n we came abreast of them, and I began to choose the one I would like when we were told to fall out and get a horse. I had just fixed my eye a beautifully-shaped, quiet-looking ammal, whei Captain Richardson came up and said, 'Xow, I want to warn you, men, that these horses are straight from an Aiutra- lian ranch, and that tiicy hava net broken in. They are kickers, biters, and buckjumpers of tue worcrt kind, so you must be careful how you approach them.' You may gues3^ how that news struck me. There was right in the front with about fifty un amcd, fiery steeds, whisking their tails in the sun. It was then I firs: noticed the sarc&sric gleam their eyes.

ASTOUNDING HISTORY OF A MONMOUTHSHIRE BOY. HIS PATIENTS TELL THE TALE. j At Garnvach, a lofty and exposed part of the Nantyglo and Blaina district, at the tcp of the Western. Valleys of Monmouthshire, a re- porter of the "South Wales Gazette'' hps in- vestigated a case of extiaordiany rt'g.ring endured by a seven-vear-o-d boy. That the life cf the child was aL but despu.rea f dur-I ing rive months' p ir.ful experience is matter of very common knowledge ;n ibis weather- beaten mining Joaty. bir in orie. that all the circrmstanc s i f the ,1fL:r m ght b-, veri- fied and in 'do known to the general public, the p.e'sm'in made a sp c al jorrney to the c' i'd*s home for the purpose of prosecuting the fullest es -ii.'ric>.

Ingram, isrynmawr). bov, lives at 94, K-Eg-strest, Nautyg.o, M°u and is einp oyed as a shunter at one cf e neighbouring collier-es. He read ly .elno..d i t-he°details of his son's experience. 'MyUy, Henry George, (.nd.cat.ng a rosy-checked lad of seven) is the eller of two," rir. Sm th tx- j plained. "About tbo b:gi ning of May, loi9, H restlessness was observable in h;s m nner, bnt be;n a h'gh s-,irtel child, Lttl no:i-je j was -taken of this, and certainly nothing of a serious chi-ricter was dieamt of. In Jiy. however, this condition became so pronounced that he was really orly quiet when e.w j,. Frequently his right limbs were useless, md at last both sides were thus affected. the right arm was rendered powerless, aod he1 had to be fed by ethers. We csi ed in m ul aid, and weie recommended to send the th Id I to a hospital, but, loth to part with a in, ,p tai, especially as we were informed he would have to spend "(according to d liferent estimates) rom 1 18 months to 3 years tnere, this idvice was not acted upon. Early in August we took: him to Somerset in the hops that a change of aer might prove beneficial. By this time he right side and arm were paralysed, and atta- che reviving effect of the first few days' cha* of air, paralysis extended to the left side aild; arm." "Matters then went from b to worse. ) Owing to the younger child being tsken ill, Henry George had to be removed to other re.a- tives in Son-aea-set. iiere, again, there seemed t-o be a temporary improvement on the b'$t day, but on the seeond he was seized with a fit of yawning. Next morning he awoke in pain and completely help.ess and speeculer-s. For five weeks he suffered the most cxeruoia- ting agony, and his cries were heart-rending, He was reduced to a mere skeleton; everv bone seemed to protrudo. The chil 's bark d, was bowed. Four or five swellings ps large as walnuts appeared at the back of his ■ eVi, causing great suffering. He was a pitiful sight indeed!" "After my return home, the reports received were not very veassu.ing. All hope aban- doned, we decided to bring h'm back to Nantyglo, and towards the end o? Septemo r I went for this purpose \0 Somerset, i found the sufferer had paetly regained h:s sp eeh, but otherwise was quite helpless • had to carry him m my arms lik? the merest irfant. Several fr;ends and acquaintance?, b'th here! and m Somerset, had persisted in p rsuading me to try Dr. WeUiams' pink pis for pji^ people. I had almost scorned the idea that j they could possibly do any good, but leading the account of >> cure in a similar t:,>1(1 giving way to the pressing tecommend^tioxis, j I purchased a box. The child was g:v?n a;bo'.lt half a pm to start, and on the third day there was a perceptible improvement in his appetite, and he seemed to br g'sten in spir ts. H3 took j five boxes, the dese being increased to three- parts of a pill r.fter the first two boxes, rnt-il in November, three months after taking tie first he was upon his feet and convalescent, and had regained h.s faculties. Now he is a healthy" active boy, ab'e to play like any other and attends school regulailv. The change can only be described as marvellous, considering that his case had been givan up by no less than five doctors, but Dr. M3, pink pills cured him. for he took no other medicine dur- irig the three months, after the time that I fortunately determined to give them a fair trial." In contusion, Mr. and Mrs. Smith said that; they could not hut feel de-p y gr tcful for the restoration of their little son, and in return they felt it their duty to assist in mak rtg the facts known, hop'ng that the case would have the widest publicity.
