SO UTHWALESCOAL TRADE, EASTERN VALLEY MINERS. The monthly meeting of the Eastern Valleys branch of the South Wales Miners' Federa- tion was held on Saturday evening at Ponty- pool, when the agent reported that the men employed at Llanerch and Blaensychan Collieries had decided to call upon the Central Council to ask the employers to divide the bonuses into fifths, and the district decided to give the lodges the necessary assistance. A dispute had arisen at the Slaendare Colliery owing to the overman sending men into other working places to fill ready coal. He (the agent) had sent in a claim but had been in- formed that the men had decided to compro- mise. The district felt strongly on the matter and passed a vote of censure on the men for their indiscretion, and the agent was instructed to take what steps he considered necessary to abolish this practice. The question as to extra payment to Lower Varteg and Gelynos hauliers was reported upon by the agent, who said the employers' committees could not re- commend the payment asked for, Instructions were given to the agent to take proceedings in the County Court under the hauliers' new agreement. G.W. HAULIERS' DECISION, The hauliers employed at the Great Western Colliery, Pontypridd, have decided by a large majority to accept the terms of the new hauliers' agreement, the figures on* ballot being: For the new agreement, 128; foe the old system, 33 majority, 89. NON-UNIONISM IN EAST GLAMORGAN. The monthly meeting of the East Glamorgan Miners' Association was held at the Clives Hotel, Caerphilly, on Saturday evening. Mr Arthur Joned, Caerphilly, presided. The agent (Mr H. Jenkins) reported the workmen of the Wernddu Level, Caerphilly, were under notice from the company to ter- minate contracts on the 12th of this month, but negotiations were in progress respecting the prices to be paid for working the Lvmog seam, and there was hope of a settle- ment. The notices tendered at the Senghen- vdd Colliery as a protest against- the non- Unionisia had been withdrawn, the whoie of the workmen havLng fallen into line with the exception of a few who were willing to join but had not the money. The management at this colliery had refused to grant any advances of wages from the collieryollices to workmen who wished to join the Federation. At the Windsor Colliery, Aher Valley, where there had been two days' stoppage, these facilities had been granted, and he regretted that this privilege had been abused, several instances having come to hie; notice where the money had been S(>nt in otL'ir ways. At this colliery in con- sequence oi the large number of new hands being employed, unless there was some satisfactory working arrangement between the manage- ment and the workmen as regards the non- UnicMiist problem, he would not be surprised if nolfccea were again tendered on the 1st of next i\ion tb, the workmen feeling very strongly on the 'point. Show cards at Llanbradach Colliery had proved very successful during the last week of September.

CREW'S ALLEGED REBELLION Scenes on a Bristol Barque. A Falmouth telegram says the barque Gladys, of Bristol, has just been towed in here In consequence uf a portion of her crew having refused duty. The Gladys, which belongs to Messrs Bhaw, Saviile and Co.. was bound for Seattle with a cargo of building material.

Some of her sails were carried away, and whilst the crew were aloft heJpiDg to furl the sail that had been left two of the sailors, one a Russian Finn and the other a Norwegian, fell. One struck the deck and died instantly, and the other fell overboard and was not seen again. The crew struck work, giving as a reason that the Gladys was now shorthanded. After con- sultation with his officers Captain Perriman decided it was useless to attempt to proceed any further, and put back to Falmouth. A Falmouth tug eventually fell in with the vessel and towed her into harbour.

BUTTER FRAUDS. Legislation Promised. The Marquia of Winchester presided on Wed- nesdayat a meeting of the British Dairy Farmers Association. Sir E. Strachey, M.P., who repre- sented the President of the Board of Agricul- ture, said it was the intention of the Govern- ment to introduce at the earliest possible moment a Bill to put a stop to butter frauds. Professor Long pressed Sir Edward to mention a definite date when the Bill would be intro- duced. a-t diary farmers were tired of mere pro. mises. The Marquis of Winchester said Sir Edward could not give a pledge. The autumn Session would be fully occupied without intro- ducing new legislation, but Sir Edward would see that the Bill was introduced next Session. It was also suggested for the consideration of the council that the Government should be approached on the subject of permitting COW beef to become the subject of contract-tor feed- ing the British Army. This, it was stated, would greatly benefit the farmers.

Referring to the House of Lords, he said no doubt it was a revising chamber, but its duty was not to emasculate or to destroy. He com- mended to the House of Lords the wise advice of Lord Lansdowne wben they came to deal with the measures of the Liberal Government. He hoped the present Government would not come to an end without doing something to get the people back to the land, two or three where there was at present ouly one,

Newport Town Council, NO SUNDAY ELICTRIC CARS. A meeting of Newport Town Council was held on Tuesday. The Mayor (Councillor S4 Liscombe) movedavote of condolence with the family of the late Alderman Thomw Pugsley, who was not only a colleague but a friend of the majority of the members. Alderman T; Goldsworthy seconded, Alderman Lloyd, Alderman Canning, Councillor C. P. Simmondg supported and the vote was carried in silencer A Constable's Pension. Air Peter Wright made a strong claim for a pension for P.C. Browning, who had served over 23 years in the Newport force, and over four years in the Gloucestershire constabulary. What was 20s a week pension ? It was too little to live on and too much to starve on. The Watch Committee look at these matters from a. rates standpoint, and did not consider the police, who were the general targets of every Tom. Dick, and Harry night and day. A motion that the pension be granted was lost- seven voles to 14. Plea for Newsboys, CouDcillorWïlliams put in a plea for the local newsboys. He was grieved to find these lads brought before the magistrates for trifling offences. Th", police would be better employed in looking after bigger boys not very far fro1l1 the Town Hall. The lads were bright and sharp, and earning an honest living, and be did not think they should be harassed too much. Train Grievances. Mr John Moxon drew attention to the nev? train from Barry and Cadiff to Newcastle. Ho noticed that the train was not to call at New- port and they should approach the authori- ties on the matte*. It might be done in con- junction with the deputation which would wait on the authorities in connection with the Irish boat train stopping at Newport. The Mayor. Alderman Canning, with Councillors Brown and Moxon, were appointed as deputa- tion. Councillors' Expenses. H I notice, according to the scale of expenses for members who visit London," said Councillor Wiikinson. that you allow 4.1 6d more for the night than for the day. Why is that ?" (Laugh, ter.)—Mr Abrahamson(chairman of the Finance Committee): For hotel expenses, of course Mr Wilkinson Are you sure a.bout that ? (Roars of laughter.)- Mr Abrahamson LhaTe no doubt about it. Sunday Tramcars. Mr Wilkinson moved that the Electricity aBd Tramways Committee be requisitioned to arrange for trams to run on Sundays from 2 p m. t0 10 p.m Mr Peter Wright seconded in order that the question might be thrashed out. Mr W. H. Brown, chairman of the Tramways Committee, strongly objected, and argued that the workers would be further off from salvation than they were now. If Mr Wilkinson started a movement, the coal- trimmers should be asked to work on Sundays to save demurrage, what would be the feeling of the men. The motion was lost by five votes to four. The Commercial Room. The commercial room of the Newport Town Ha.U was described as an institution 40 yean old." The Corporation want more room for its officials, a.nd the Council discussed the advis- ability of giving notice to the tenants of the commercial room. Aldermen Mordey, Moses, and Greenland referred with affection to the old institution where commercial men did. good deal oi business which was for the good of the tewn. II I sell a tea and coffee service said Mr Abrahamson, I do 30 a.t my shop, for which 1 pay rates and taxes. I think ship- brokers Bond others should do the same." Councillors Williams, Brown, Twoomey aad others aJso spoke in favour of "giving notice," but a. motion to this effect was lost.
