SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1906. OCTOBER. October has arrived, and with it the shooting of tbe pheasant. Probably the ahooting ot the pheasant and the brewing of October ale were the two chief thoughts of the coqjitry connected with the appear- ance of the Autumn month bat a. later generation, with other tastes and desires, look for other things on the appearance ot October. October followed one of the moat glorious September3 on record. It has been a month of sunshine, of still and charming days, more approaching an ideal holiday <nonth than is given to August. On the very last day of September we were enjoying sunshine and the peace of a won. derfuUy calm day, with the foliage rich and fall on tha trees and with an abun- dance of wild flowers in the fields and the gardens looking like lato summer it is true, bat resembling very little the average September. Even the first of October ctme in with sunshine, though later in the day the much-needed rain fell, and there was a slight wind which set the trees moving and the leaves swaying with the sad sigh of Autumn on the air. The leaves are thick in the wooJs, and only here and there are the Autumn tints to be seen bat, alas what may not a few rainy days 4nd the first equinoctial gale produce? The hnDting season is in full swing. There 13 no doabting the arrival of Autumn but in the towns we have been enjoying all the appearances of summer, for the costumes of the ladies have been light and bright. and there has boen more suggestiveness of the summer in the lacey scarves than io the reminders of winter by tars, which were conspicuous by their absence save is a store or two, where a display was made of winter costumas and wraps. And these did not at all harmonise with the condi tions of the weather or the wearing ap. parel of September. The most delightful of conditions for September have not pleased the weather prophets, who are foretelling all sorts of dire trouble as a consequence, "We shall pay for this later," 13 all the appreciation they show for an ideal September, and they prognos- ticate a hard winter from the wealth of berrisa which is displayed on the hedge- rows. The gulls have been sesn far from the sea in South Wales, right inland, and following the plough—both most natural sights, but read by the prophets of evil as warning of the coming severe winter. The pageant of the year is nearly com- plete. for the rich colouring of Autumn is the end, and is usually brief- The colour of the fading and tailing leaves and the mystery of the silver mist which wraps the country about in October forms a fit- ting completion to the pageant of the year. All that remains afterwards is the sleep of Nature, the rest for animal and plant which she insists upon. The geese are in the stubble where they have not been sacrificed to Michaelmas, but the custom of late years h30 J been to retain the geese for the Christmas feast. And thereby, say the old folks, the present generation knows not the flavour of goose with apple sauce at its best The plough team is in the fields and the farmer is busy sowing his winter wheat, while in village and town the evening classes have been started and indoor entertainments are popular once again. The gloriously fine September which we have passed will shorten the period of gloomy days and nights which precede Christmas, and seem to move with halting feet to the worker when the last Bank Holiday of the summer has passed with August.

South Wales has been the cockpit of many a Trade Union struggle, and was for some time regarded as the battleground of Labour. The meeting of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Workers at Cardiff and the gathering of the Miners' Fedsration at Swansea serve to remind the public of South TV ales of the changes which are coming about in the relationships between Capital and Labour. We have argued on many occasions that a satisfactory under. standing between Capital and Labour and the maintenance of industrial peace was only possible through the complete orga- nisation of large bodies of workmen and the recognition of the Labour groups by the employers or their representatives. Under a well-ordered system the cause of Labour IS that of Capital, and it is gradu- ally being seen that workmen and em ployers are not natural enemies, but that one is quite dependent upon the other, and that an arrangement which is profitable for one is never permanent unless it benefits the other. The full recognition of organised Labour is not yet complete. for the prejudices of Capital are even more wayward than those of Labour but we have had soma fine examples of the value of Conciliation in the settlement of disputes and the conditions of work and pay in the South Wales coalfield. The Trade Unions and Labour movement have been accused of bringing about the ruin of British trade and industry, but most of the charges have been proved silly as well as false. And those who have taken the trouble to watch the Trade Union move. ment will have recognised that there has been as much reason on the side of the workers as in the counsels of the em. ployers, acting individually or in combina- tion. As we have seen in South WaleSi thorough organisation of the workers and the recognition of the Federation of Miners through their accredited representative has worked for industrial peace.

All Welsh patriots are appealed to by the secretary of the Welsh Industries Association to support the movement by attending the Exhibition and aale of goods which will be held in London on the 25th and 26th instant, at the Mansion House, by the express invitation of the Lord Mayor, Sir Walter Vaughan Morgan. The Exhibition will be opened the first day by the Lady Mayoress, attended by her maids- ot-hoaour and the Shoriffs. The Exhibi- tion 13 deserving the hearty support of all Welshmen, for the Industries Association is doing a real national work. By sales and exhibitions and the enconragement given to local industries it has improved tbe pottery, textiles, lace, carving, and basket-work of the Principality, and it haa brought the Welsh products before the notice of the public of Wales, and of Eng- land as wail. It has sent the same pro- ducts to exhibitions abroad, and moreover it has been the means of putting over £25.roo into the pockets of the workers throughout the Principality, many of whom rely upon the Association for their support. The Association is a commercial as well as a patriotic institution. This is the first occasion on which a national exhibition of the industries of the Princi- pality has been held in the City of Lon- don, and as travelling facilities have been provided, it is hoped that Welshmen will make an effort to give it that support which it deserves.

British trade is stiU going, but not in the same sense as that predicted by the Protec- tionists. It is going up by leaps and bounds, and all the predictions of the Protectionists have been falsified. Each Board of Trade return for this year has told the same story of improved and improving trade, and the Protectionists are silent. Under these cir- camstances Protection has not a ghost of a I chance of a hearing, bat everyone who takes the slightest interest in trade and notes the returns is aware that the slack I times will come. The trade cycles are well understood, and the years of fulness are followed by the lean, and the Jean are felt more severely in the Protectionist coun- tries than in our?, which is aided by Free Trade. But it is in the lean years that the Protectionist is londestand gets his hear. I ing For this reason it is imperative that reformers should pay attention to further the much delayed reforms of revising taxa- I tion which falls npon the industries and the worker and employer of labour. Unless this is done the manufacturer will be un- able to compete favourably with the foreign industries, and the first thing that i3 necessary for the salvation of Britsh indus- tries i3 a reform, of a drastic character, of the land laws. Industries are crippled and made impossible by reason of the land hunger and the impossibility of securing land at reasonable rates and in suitable positions. The liberation of the land in the mtrest? of the nation and its industries should be undertaken now without wait- ing for the lean years of trade to emphasise the absolute necessity of reform both in the control and the taxation of the land.

At the inquest at Maesteg on Wednesday on W. T. Geary, who was killed by a. sudden fall of roof. weighing between four and five tons, on Monday, it was stated that the task of extri- cating the deceased occupied an hour. He was shockingly crushed. A verdict of Acci- dental death was returned.

SWANSEA CRISIS. GREAT STRUGGLE IMPENDING. Education Board Defied. PROTECTING THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF FINANCIAL CONTROL. peculiar position has arisen between the Swansea Education Authority and the Board of Education, which may eventually have very far-reaching results. The circmstances which have led up too, this complicated position cover a long period. Some tiroe before the present Government catr.3 into power the Swansea Authority con- sidered the question of tha salaries of tha teachers at the non-provided schools, and de cided that the salaries and -ittier expenses should renv-Lin as they were before the authority took control. Then the nueslion arose as to advances made in accordance with agreements entered into between the teachers and managers just before th Act came into operation. The authority disputed its liability to recognise advances made under such circumstances, but eventually, on the advice of the town clerk, these advances were conceded Then the managers submitted a form of agreement to the authority and asked for its approval, but this the authority declined. The same question arose with the Board of Educa- tion, and the authority refused to sign them on the ground that the question of agreements was purely a matLer between the managers and the teachers. This agreement contained the following ciause binding on the non-nro- vided teachers :— Under the direction of the managers and in accordance with the requirements of the Board of Education (you) will (at tu» times appointed on week days for religious instruc- tion) instruct the children attending the said school in religious knowledge in accordance with the provisions of the Education Act of 1902. It was partly on this ground that the authority declined to have anything to do with the agreements. The agreements also had attached to them a form for the consent of the authority to which the seal of the Corporation was to be attached, and that was another ground of re- fusal, the Town Clerk advising that the Council was not bound to do what was asked. One o- the forms under the Education Act is Form 9, which amongst a mass of details has a list of the staffs of the various scnools and a column in which it is to be stated whether or not the members of the staffs of Voluntary schools are under written agreement or not. Several of the teachers had written agreements. Others have not. The reason Aome have not is that under the advice of the N.U T. they refused to sign agreements w!th the managers unless they got the same scale of aatar es as teachers in the provided schools. it is a condition of the code in respect to non-provided ichoo! i; that all teachers must be engaged under wrttten agreements. If not, the managers are liable to a reduction in the grant. W>en these forms were sent home, and it was seen that a number of teachers had signed ne agreement," he clerk to the local authority refused to sign the form. This was brought before the Board of Education by the managers and the authority, and eventually the forms were signed by the clerk, at the request of the Board, who promised they would deal with the matter. Before thev took. any steps towards doing so, however, the managers approached the Board. and gave as a reason for not, bein able to aet the agreements that T..he teachers refused to .;ign unless they got the scile of sa'.arirs paid to those at pro- vided schoo s. The Board of Education then wrotP to the authority the fo lowing letle- Board of Education, Whitehall, London, S.W., 31st Julv, 1906. 1. Swansea. I 2. National School No. 1 3. Parochial 2 I 4. York place School No. 26 5. Christ Church Infants' National School No. 5 064589 Z. Sir,—I am directe i to state that the ques- tion of teachers' agreements in the National. Parochial, York-place, and Christ Church Infants' National Schools has been again before the Board, who have received from the managers agreements duty signed by the teachers, which the managers will be ready to sign and complete as soon as the authority will give their consent to the same. It is stated that the amount of salary paid in each case is fi,led in at the rate of scale paid to teachers in the Council schools in the area. The Board of Education are not aware of any circumstances which wou!d justify a differen- tiation in thesaiaries paid to teachers in Vol- untary and Council schools. Tbey feel that the presenz uncertainty is unjust to the teachers, and is gravely, imperilling the efficiency of the schools. They trust therefore to learn at an early date that tbe authority will give their consent to the agreements prepared. In view of the provisions of Article 15 of the Code the Board do not feel able to sanction payment of the grants for the National and York place Schools until tbey are assured that this matter has been satisfactorily arranged.—I have the honour to be, sir, C. L. Kingsford. To the Local Education Authority. Owing to the holidays this letter could not be considered till the September meeting, when the authority, having in mind the West Ridicg decision, and resenting the coercion implied, passed almost unanimously the following reso- lution :— That the Board of Education be info-med that inasmuch as agreements with teachers in non-provided schools are a matter of private arrangement, and entirely under private control, it is unnecessary and unde- sirable that this authority should commit itself in any way to them, and it therefore resrrets that the Board should seek to make the authority party to them. That inasmuch as the Board of Education has thought fit to with hold the grant already acknowledged to be due on account of the National and York-place Non-Providell Schools, that notice be given both to the Board of Education and to the managers of these schools that on and after 1st November next this authority will cease to maintain the said non-provided schools. That the question of obtaining payment of the said grant be referred to a sub-com- mit tee,consisting of the Mayor, the Chairman and Vice-Chairajaia of the Education Com- mittee, Alderman Tutton and Councillor Mov Evans, with power to take such steps as they may deem advisable to secure the payment thereof. The matter is now in the hands of the com- mittee appointed in accordance with the above resolution, and at the end of this week a con. ference is to be held with counsel on the sub- ject. The attitude of the local authority is this- when the non-provided schools are public schoolsundertho same conditions as the pro- vided schools they will pay the same salaries, but till they are an 1 so long as religious in- struction is taught in them they will not draw on the rates to make up any discrepancy. In this they are backed by the West Riding judgment. The Board of Education assumes to dictate what salaries shall be paid by the local authority to school teachers, and this being a matter which, by the Act of Parliament is solely the duty of the local authority. Swan- sea is entering upon a great contest in the interest of public control. The Act of Parlia- ment is clear and specific. Section 7 states :— The local education authority, shall main- tain and keep efficient all public elementary schools within their area which are neces- sary, and have the control of all expendi- ture required for that purpose, other than expenditure for which, under this Act, pro- vision is to be made under the Act. (This latter means the expenditure on the up-keep of the building, &c.) The fixing of salaries is. it has been held, the duty of the authority alone. The managers of the non-provided schools at Swansea having themselves fixed certain salaries, and the Board of Education having called upon the local authority to pay those salaries, a refusal has been met by the with. holding of the Government grant, and here- upon issue is joined, the dispute to be carried through with determination. A meeting will be held to-morrow by the sub-committee.

HONEST CONFESSION. A DOCTOR'S TALK ON FOOD. There are no fairer set of men on earth than the doctors, and when they find they have been in error they are usually apt to make honest and manly confession of the fact. A case in point is that of an eminent prac- titioner. His plain, unvarnished tale needs no dressing up "I had always had an intense prejudice, which I can now see was unwarrantable and unreasonable, against all advertised foods. Hence, I never read a line of the many advs.' of Grape-Nuts, nor tested the food till last winter. While at be sea shore for my health, and visitirg my youngest son, who has four of the ruddiest, healthiest little hoys I ever saw, I ate my first dish of Graps-Nuts food for supper with my little grandsons. I bename exceed- ingly fond of it and have eaten a package of it every week since, and find it a delicious, re- freshing and strengthening food, leaving no ill effects whatever, causing no eructations (with which I was formerly much troubled), no sense of fullness, nausea, nor distress of fitomach in any way. There is no other food that agrees with me so well as this does. I am stronger and more active since I began the use of Grape-Nuts than I have been for ten years, and am no longer troubled with nausea and indigestion Name given by Grape-Nuta Co., 66, Shoe Lane, E C. There's a reason. A delightful breakfast dish is found in Irarape, Nuts served direct from the packet with cream or milk.

The Barry Dock police found a little boy wandering on Cragan-hill on Monday morning, and took him to the Cardiff Workhouse on Tuesday- On Tuesday night the father. Mr Thomas Gallivan and Miss Gallivan. of Forster- street, Cadoxton, inquired for the child at the police station. They bad been, thsy informed our representative, searching for the child since the previous dav, but had not thought of caui", at the police station until that evening.

Restoration at Holyrood. The beautiful and famous chapel at Holy- rood Palace U, by the will of the late Earl of Leven and Melville, to be restored and made the chapel of the Order of the Thistle. For this purpose the Earl has bequeathed M 000. provided the King gives permission for the work to be done. The building is one of the most ancient in Edinburgh. As its name would indicate, the Palace of Holyrood was originally an abbey, and even down to the year 1880 some trace of its ancient character was preserved in the right of sanctuary afforded within its ancient precin.cts to dettors-the privilege only ceasing with the abolition of imprisonment for debL Two reasons are given for its name. The first that a portion of the True Cross," bequeathed by St Margaret of Scotland to her children was kept there until —like the Stone of Destiny-it was seized by Edward 1. and removed to Durham, where it still remains. The alternative story, while much more improbable, is more picturesque. It is said that David I. (who afterwards deve- loped into St David) decided to go hunting on Rood Day (Good Friday), in spite of the remonstrances of a Canon called Alkwine. Duriag the hunt, by some mischance, the King was separated from his attendants, thrown from his horse, and was on the point of being gored to death by a hart, when a cross was miraculously placed in his hands. at the sight of which the hart speedily fled.

w; -=- Safe of Bronwydd. I SIR ALFRED THOMAS AND HIS BROTHER Echo of a Chancery Action. A sequel was beard at Cardiff County Court on Wedne-jdavto the recent litigation heard by Mr I Justice Joyce, in London, in which au action was brought against Sir A.fred Thomas by his brother, Mr Joseph William Thomas The latter was sued in the County Court by Mr Dityd Thomas, auctioneer and valuer, Cardiff, for £21, his fee for valuing Bronwydd, the residence of Sir Alfred Thomas 218 159 com- mission on the sale of Bronwydd and £5 5s a day for attending four days in London to give evidence in a Chancery action. Mr John Sankey (instructed by Mr George David) was for plaintiff, and Mr A. Parsons (instructed by Messrs Freeman and Cook) for defendant. Mr Sankey said plaintiff was asked to make a valuation of Bronwydd in view of theChancerv action and afterwards to attend in London and give evidence in the Chancery action. His fee for the valuation was according to the scale of the Society to which he belonged. Mr Parsons denied that any commission was due on the sale. He had paid 925 into court which he asserted was sufficient to cove r the charge for Valuing the property and for attending in London to give evidence. Mr Sankey, In reply to His Honour said a settlement was arrived at in the original action. As part of the settle- ment the house in which Sir Alfred was living was declared to be part of the pro- perty of the present defendant. Immediately 1after that declaration the present defendant was anxious to dispose of it, and he came to Mr Saunders. another vs eil-known auciioneer and valuer, of Cardiff, and asked him if he could get, him an offer for the property. Mr Saun dere and Mr llltyd Thomas then determined that whatever commission they got for finding a purchaser they would share. Defendant wrote that he would not aliow more than 1 £ per cent. commission in the sale as he had never paid mote in Cardiff or London. The usual charge was 2 per cent. Plaintiff was, however, only charging 11. but Air Saunders also bad brought an action in which he was Claiming li per cent. commission, Mr Thomas and Mr Saunders having agreed to half the usual 2i per cent. and take Ii each. Mr Parsons said his defence was that there was no sale, or, if there was a saie, it was not carried out by Mr Thomas or Mr Saunders. Mr llltyd Thomas was called, and in reply to Mr Sankey, said he was an auctioneer and valuer, and an alderman of the city. His Honour I suppose there is no extra charge for bemg an alderman ? (Laughter.) Mr Thomas substantiated the tatements of Mr Sankey, and said be valued Bronwydd at £ 3,150. He also stated that when he was asked by Mr Thomas's solicitor what his charge would be for giving evidence in Lonrlou, ne toll him he had lecentiy been paid lOgs. a day for giving evidence in proceedings between the Taff Vale Radwavand the Cardiff Union As- sessment Committee, but be agreed to go ior five guineas as he bad been engaged to make the valuation and in connection with the sale. His Honour asked what the settlement was in the Chancery action, and Mr Parsons replied that Sir Alfred had to assign to his brother the property known as Bronwydd for the unexpired term, Sir Alfred to receive E750. Joseph William Thomas, the defendant, was called, and said when the Chancery action was settled he saw MrSaunders and Mr Thomas,and they said their charges would be moderate, Bronwydd camo to him originally under his father's will, and then Sir Alfred Thomas obtained a direct leave from the Bute Estate. Sir Alfred paid him (defendant) £750, and he thought this was not a fair price, and instituted the proceedings in the Chancery Court. The result was he had to pay the t750 back to Sir Alfred, and Bronwydd. became his (defendant's) property. He did not, of course, want to turn Sir Alfred out, and said he could. if he liked, lease the property or rent it or take it at a price. He finally agreed to take it at £ 3.150, less the C750 he (defendant) had to pay him under the Chancery action settlement. His Honour I don't understand your point, Mr Parsons, that there has been no sale, Mr Parsons It cannot be said Mr Saundcrs and Mr llltyd Thomas sold the property. His Honour allowed Mr llltyd Thomas C21 for the valuation, three guineas a day and rail- way fare for attending in London to give evidence, and postponed the decision in the point of commission for sale till the action which Mr Saunders had brought had been dis- posed of. A Second Claim. j Mr J. T. Saunders claimed the same amount a.q Mr Thomas for valuing the property, for attending in London to give evidence, and for commission on the sale. In regard to the latter point, Mr Saunders said lie was asked by defen- dant to secure a purchaser. He thought Sir Alfred was a likely buyer, and visited him at Bronwydd and got an offer from him. He sub- mitted this offer to the defendant, who wanted it in writing. Witness then went to London and aw Sir Alfred in the Devon-hire Club, and gat the offer in writing, after which he sub- mitted it to the defendant, and the sale fol. lowed. I In cross-examination bv Mr Parsons, witness said he first went to Bronwydd about tbe sale, through a visit paid to him by Principal Ed- wards, who was a friend of Sir Alfred, and who no douot was desirous of Sir Alfred remaining at Bronwydd.

HORSES v. STEAM MOTORS. Cardiff's Expensive Experience. In the expectation 'bat a saving of 1:2,000 a year would be effected by the substitution in part of steam motors for horses for conveying street refuse to the tips, the Council purchased four motors at about IC450 each. and built 12 trailers at a cost of at out itO each. Now, after along series of trials. Mr Harpur (the city engineer) reports that the change means a loss of E20 a week, and recommends a return to horses. A special meeting of the Health Committee was held on Wednesday, when the report was considered. It was unanimously agreed that the use of the motors should be discontinued, and Mr Harpur was directed to prepare a report on how the motors could be utilise i. If at all, in a remu- nerative manner to the Corporation, =-

The Haverfordwest Rural Council on Wed- nesday decided to advertise for a highway surveyor for the southern half of the Union, at a nalary of 21](). The Union is a very large one, embracing 62 parishes, and a mileage of WötèirFOw of .27 miles.

Carmarthenshire Roads. t PROPOSED DIVISION OF THE COUNTY. Recommendation Defeated, The Carmarthensbire Main Roads Committee ;i t Car marthen on Wednesday entered into further discu,sion of the report of the special committee appointed to consider the county's present scheme of road management. The committee, after an exhaustive inquiry, re- to nmended with a view to securing greater efficiency, that the County Council revert to their old system, whereby two surveyors would be held responsible for the management of the roads, and not one as at present. The Chairman (Mr H. Jones Thomas), at the outset of the debate, appealed for greater harmony than had characterised the discussion at the previous meeting, and asked the members to avoid personalities. (Hear, hear ) A letter was read from the Rev. Fuiler Mills regretting absence, and stating he had nil con- fidence in Mr Mounsey's capability and his desire to serve them he felt bat wha.tever mistake had been made during the past few years in their road-making policy, 1 he Council, and not the surveyor, were largely the responsible party. The Clerk read a letter from the secretary to the Carmarthenshire Ratepayers' Association stating that at a meet- ingot ratepayers held at Carmarthen the recom- mendation of the sub-committee that two sur- veyors be appointed was approved of, except that they thought that C250 each would be a sufficient salary to pay, instead of £300 as re- commended. Mr Wm Thomas, Trelech, de- clared that the present system of road manage- ment stood condemned. They had foolishly increased their expenditure upon road-making without getting increased efficiency. Mr K. A Neviii, Llanelly, inquired whether the pro. motors of the scheme had taken into considera- tion their legal obligation or otherwise to pay compensation to Mr Mounsey for his loss of status or position. He was glad to find that the committee did not impute any blame. They simply condemned the existing system as bad. Tb3 Chairman said no attack was meant upon the surveyor. Mr Nevill Then am I to understand that the surveyor has no claim ? Mr W. N. Jones, Tirydail, as a mem- ber of the sub-committee, siid he did not re- member that matter being discussed. Mr W. David (Lanelly) proposed that the matter be deferred until January, 1908, inas- much as they had not given the present scheme a fair trial. The expenditure on road manage- ment was going down tremendously, and if they waited until the time he suggested he thought it would go down to normal propor- tions, and the rates of the county would be what they were years ago. (Applause.) He appealed to the members to give the scheme a fair trial. Mr Mabon Davies seconded the amendment, which was supported by Mr Alfred Stephens, who congratulated the surveyor upon the economy he had effected in road- making since his appointment. By quarrying the stones himself Mr Mounsey had already saved the Council about £ 1.000. Let us give him a little more scope and more power to deal with things." Mr John Lewis (Meiros HaU) supported the recommendation of the committee. and claimed that it would bring about a saving in the rates as well as direct control of the roads. Professor D. E. Jones (Carmarthen) stated that one of the otrongest objections he had to the proposed scheme was that it would mean constant friction between the two divisions. Mr Daniel Stephens (Kid- welly) declared that they were condemning a. system before it had had proper time to mature. Mr Evan Jones-Davies contended that the proposed scheme would not only prove more economical, but was the only proper solution of the problem. Mr W. David's amendment to defer the matter for 15 months was carried by three votes, 24 members voting for the amendment and 21 for the adopt ion of the recommendation. Thereupon Mr John Lloyd, Penybank, moved a rescission of the following resolution passed on January 25th, 1905 :—" Resolved that the surveyor's salary be increased to E475 per annum from April 1st, 1905, conditional upon his providing and keeping a motor-c-ir, and that in future the salary of the surveyor be in accordance with the terms of his appoint- ment." Mr Lloyd declared that it was a waste of money to make such an allowance for a motor-car and that the county was too poor to pay for such a luxury for one man. Mr Lloyd's motion was defeated.

AN HISTORIC YACHT. The old yacht of King George IV. and King William IV., and the vessel in which Queen Victoria made sfveral voyages in the early year-s of her reign, is about to be broken up. It was in this little craft that her late Majesty, accompanied by the Princo Consort, travelled in 1842, on the occasion of the first visit to Scotland, after her accession. The voyage was a very rough one, but nevertheless the Queen returned by the same route. On Saturday the venerable old ship was taken into the basin at .T. Portsmouth dockyard. The TToyal George, as the ves-el was formerly called, was quite a small wooden sailing-ship of 380 tons For many years she has been hidden away in Ports- mouth" harbour painted a dingy black, and unrecognised in her extreme age. So long as the old Victoria and Albert, was used by Queen Victoria, the Royal George-or Little George as she came to be known-was employed merely as a hulk, and served as a living ship for the crew of the Royal vessel. When the new vessel of state was ordered, the old yacht was condemned, but for various reasons some delay has occurred in carrying out the edict which will deprive the fleet of its oldest ship.

Extensive alterations are to he carried out at once at tbe Tenby Post. Office. The altera- tions will afford improved accommodation for the public, and tha sanitarv condition of premises to which Councillor Reid had called attention will be remedied. Arrancements will also be made for the installation of the tele- phone system, which will be brought about in t the next few months,

Miners' Conference. ANIMATED PROCEEDINGS. Demand for a Candidate. The adjourned conference of delegates from the Federation lodges in the Parliamentary division of Mid-Glamorgan was held at the York Hotel, Bridgend, to receive and consider the decision of the executive of the South Wales Miners' Federation as to running a Labour candidate in opposition to Mr S. T. Evans. M.P. Mr Tom Lucas Ogmore Vale. presided. Messrs Tom Richards, M.P., general secretary of the South Wales Federatich, Alfred Onions, treasuier, and Tom Evans were present, representing the executive. The only miners'agent present from the constituency was Mr Vernon Hartshorn, Maesteg. There were 28 delegates present, representing 12,498 miners. Mr Tom Evans stated that he and Mr Thomas Richards and Mr Alfred Onions, as conveners of the first meeting of this confer. ence at Brigend on Tuesday last, had reported to the Executive the meeting's decision. The Executive Council had discussed these facts and had decided by Mr Thomas Richards Don't give the votes. Mr Tom Evans The votes have been pub. lished. (" Yes, and the names, too.") Mr Hartshorn: Both numbers and names have been given. Policy of Opposing Friends. Mr Evans said the Executive bad decided by 17 votes to four that it was not an opportune occasion to contest the seat But that was not all the Executive decided. No doubt, the men knew that there had been an understanding, if nothing more, by the Executive Council, on previous occasions, that there should be no contests, or at least Labour candidates should not be run against members of Parliament favourable to their programme. (Hear, hear.) Mr J. nJGardiner, Gilfach Goch By whom was that understood ? < Mr Tom Evans By the Executive Council. I have said, and I don't know that that has not been rtified by conference. Mr Gardiner: Never. Mr Evans The Executive think that before we depart entirely from that policy a confer- ence of the whole of the South Wales coalfield should be held to decide the matter. (Hear, hear.) Mr Hicks. Maesteg. said it was understood that the executive did not consider the confer- ence of Mid-Glamorgan miners held atBridgend on Tuesday was representative. He should like to know what a representative conference was. (Applause.) It had been recognised time after time by the constitution of the Federa- tion that when the roll was called at any con- ference the numencal vote decidod. (Hear, ear), It appeared that the policy the executive was simply to make soft seats for big guns. (Laughter and hear, hear.) What was the position of the Liberal- Labour members in the House of Commons ? They were nonentities. They were not recog- nised by a fatherhood or a brotherhood, and now they had shorn themselves of their man- hood by selling their brother's birthright, (Applause.) Mr Meth Jones said he was instructed by the Ffaldau Lodge, Pontycymmer, to move That a candidate be nominated by this con- ference, and the Executive be asked to finance him." Mr Brewis, of the International Lodge, Blaengarw, seconded. Mr Hartshorn appealed to the mover and seconder to withdraw, as it would place the man nominated in an invidious position, and with some reluctance they did so. Put to the Vote. A resolution was moved and seconded that the report of the executive be accepted. Against this, Mr Hicks' motion that the execu- tive be appealed to to reconsider their decision and run a candidate was put as an amendment, and the amendment was carried by 16 votes to 10. Mr Richards said he would see the president and vice-president at Swansea the following day and see if it was possible to call a meeting of the executive for Wednesday. It was resolved by a small majority to send a deput atiou to support the appeal before the executive. Mr J. H. Gardiner then moved the resolution suggested by Mr Thomas Richards, calling upon the executive to take steps to cleany define the policy of the Federation as regards the running of Labour candidates under the Federation scheme. Mr Gardiner said it was very questionable whether the present method of procedure met with the approval of the men. He had attended the conferences and did not remember a single instance in which the policy adopted had met with the endorse- ment of the conference. If the scheme was to be effective the parties more immediately affected must have more to say in the selection and adoption of candidates than they had been allowed on this occasion. The resolution was carried unanimously. LABOUR PARTY APPEAL TO LR.C. The executive of the Mid-Glamorgan Labour Party met at Bridgend on Monday and passed the following resolution :—" Having heard with regret that the Miners' Federation Executive have decided not to run a Labour candidate at the forthcoming bye-election in Mid- Glamorcan, we resolve to put ourselves in communication at once with the Labour Representation Committee with a view to obtaining a suitable candidate in the Labour interests in the forthcoming bye-election. MR S. T. EVANS' CAMPAIGN. Mr S. T. Evans, K.C., accompanied by Mrs Evans, visited Maesteg on Monday afternoon and met a number of bis supporters. A committee meeting of supporters of Mr S. T. Evans was held at Maesteg on Monday night, and it was resolved to arrange a meeting at Nantyffyllon on Monday evening next, at 6.30. and another at Bethania Chapel, Maesteg, at 8 o clock the same night. Both meetings are to be addressed by Mr Evans.

RAILWAYMEN AND THE SEAT. Vote at Cardiff Conference. At the conference of the A.s. R.S. at Cardiff on Wednesday, Mr Halls (Leicester) moved:— That having decided that Mr J. Holmes is to be a Parliamentary candidate, this Congress re- commends him to the Executive Gimmittee of the Labour Party as a suitable candidate to fight Mid-Glamorgan in the event of their de- ciding to contest the constituency." He pointed out that the workers generally had a predominating influence in Mid- Glamorgan, They did not pledge the society in any shape or form by the resolution, but simply recommended Mr Holmes to the Labour Party. Mr Humphreys (Paddington) seconded, re- marking that a man who could make such a fight in East Birmingham as Mr Holmes did would make a better fight in Mid-Glamorgan. Mr Carter (Kentish Town) opposed the reso- ution. He appealed to the delegates not to be in a hurry. The working men of Mid-Glamor- gan had decided that they would not run a candidate in opposition to Mr Evans. ("No.") Well, that was how he understood the posi- tion, and he thought it would not be good leel- ing on their part to recommend Mr Holmes for that constituency at present. Mr Thomas (Bath) said the feeling in the West of England was that the cost of Parlia- mentary repiesentation was already sufficiently heavy. Further, he would point out that their membership ot sixty thousand bad three repre- sentatives in Parliament at present, which was a belter representation than m.my constitu- encies had, and he urged that they should be content with three members until the next Geneial Election. The voting was :—For the resolution, 31 against, 17,

MINERS AND THE SEAT. DEPUTATION TO S.W. EXECUTIVE. The Executive Council of the South Wales Miners' Federation held a special meeting at the Hotel Metropole, Swansea, at 1 o'clock on Wednesday, under the presidency of Mr W. Abranam, M.P., when a deputation attended from the conference of delegates of Mid- Glamorgan miners, urging the Executive to reconsider its decisIOn not to contest the seat for Mid Glamorgan at the coming election. The deputation consisted of Messrs J. H. Gardner (Gilfach GochK 1. H. Hicks (Maesteg), W. R. Jones (Western District), T. H. Thomas (Anthracite District), and Meth Jones (Ponty cymmer). Messrs Hicks, Gardner, Jones, and Thomas placed the views of the Conference fully before the meeting, and then withdrew. After discussion the Council unanimously resol Ifcd- That, having heard the deputation appointed by tbe Bridgend Conference, and no new facts having been placed before the Council, it is resolved to reaffirm the previous resolution. This means that there will be no miners candidate. MR INTENTIONS. Seen by one of our representatives during the afternoon Mr James Holmes said he would not consent to contest Mid-Glamorgan merely as the nominee of the Executive Committee of the L-R-C., but would fight only on a strong invi- tation from the Labour party within the con- stituency. Asked if he was an I.L.P. man, Mr Holmes replied that he was a member of the Labour party, and added that the Executive Com- mittee of the L R.C. was altogether distinct from the I.L.P.. but the latter were affiliated to the L. R.. C., which was a Labour group-the Exectutive Committee of the Labour party. Mr Holmes added that he had already been approached by certain labourists in Mid- Glamorgan division. VIEWS OF MINERS' LEADERS. The recommendation of the Railwaymen's Congress was submitted by our special repre- sentative at the Swansea conference of tbe M.F.G.B. to several of the Welsh miners' leaders, and all spoken to expressed surprise at the action of the railwaymen—it was so unex- pected. The telegram announcing the decision was not received until nearly two after the special meeting of the Executive Council of the South Wate3 Miners' vened to hear the views of the Mid bo* delegates, had concluded its fcuat tba all the members spoken to deeiarea recommendation, even bad it while the Council was sitting, woul cPQt»tiy0 have influenced the result. Our rePr^0 was assured that the decision not nreseO^ the seat in the interests of Labour at tn F moment had been arrived at t'e'erathg jner't3 a full discussion, and was based on ce to of the question itself, without any re jjdat^ the personalities of any possible ca Indeed," said a prominent mem e 0f Council," this is not a question °"0O aeetH candidates, or of funds, as the in to have thought If we thought it to geat interests of the Labour party to ngh e0ing now, a candidate could be found WI 0 aQd the outside our own ranks as miners, funds, too, would have been forthcom J^oxst we deem it is not in the interests of the ^js party to fight now. Mr James Holmf' friends may think otherwise, but th y not count upon the support of the matter wbo the candidates may be n .ft, M*neis' federation will neither directly directly take part in the contest." MR.HARTSHORN INTERVIEWED. Mr Vernon Hartshorn was also on the question Mr Hartshorn jg a miners aeent for the Maesteg distri member of the Executive Council of tbe -g&o ation. and president of the Mi geejji Labour party. Mr Hartshorn did ejthef to think Mr Holmes's candidature to be „ practicable or desirable- In my °P^nlt?fJnCe9 said, having regard to all the cii'cum5 geJt ofthe situation, and all the s'-eps that ha* taken in the matter up to the present the true interests of the Labour va°r0afast would be served by withholding from a cOhoar9 now. The matter was debated for four a j by the Executive Council of the e era 1012 d week after the Bridgend conference. that debate, and took part in it, and so am personally concerned, the decision arrived at is final. The view I have that the best course to adopt is, not to now, but to wait for a future opporlW But," he added," pleate bear in mind tha is only my personal view of the situation* meeting of the executive of the Mid-Glatn0 Labour organisation will be held on Satu next, and it will be for that body, j* 0 Holmes's name be submitted to tbem^y decide whether it will be wise to take further action in the matter or not." But what about funds, Mr Hartshorn Mr Hartshorn, with a shrug of the iho1 laraif replied. Ah, well, I assume that the ra' ,Q^ men when they adopted that recommend had some idea of finding the necessary for their nominee." DATE OF ELECTION. Mr W. H.
