PEACE IN THE COAL TRADE. !
PEACE IN THE COAL TRADE. GLAD tidings of great joy were spread 1 over the South Wales coalfield last Sat- i urday night. The lengthened negotia- < tions between masters and men concerning the wage-regulator of future years had come to a satisfactory conclu- sion. Satisfactory indeed is the decision j of the joint conference, and we are in. clined to think that, thanks to the tact ( and tenacity of the workmen's leaders, the workmen have had the best of the ( bargain, especially when we consider i that the bargaining was made during a falling market. The old agreement has been practically renewed. It has been somewhat modified, but not to any ( material extent. The principle of perio- 1 dical holidays has at last been recognised. In obtaining this recognition the work- men have undoubtedly scored. With < regards to the long-standing hauliers' < grievance the workmen's representatives 1 have obtained from the coal-owners a

THS UNEMPLOYED. J
THS UNEMPLOYED. J a our correspondence column this week v Individual" replies to our remarks last h -eek concerning the unemployed. He ays that it is the duty of society to pro- p ide the workless with work, and that 1] very man has a right tc work. True, iJ ut society has the right to select the p .lace where he is to w^a'k. The oper- a tions of society have no geographical t unit. It says, "The world is my p. ountry." Ever since the early dawn of a he world the human family have been h onstrained to say periodically, "Behold, y, LOW the place where we dwell is too strait f or us. Let us go." "Individual" has f .iscovered the root of the evil, he says, c )ur social system through ages of mis- a eVelopment has become topsy-turvy, a Uid according to him the true radical n olution to the unemployed problem is to a o at it to reconstruct our whole social e ystem. We agree with this. But if the t memployed will have to wait until e apital is abolished and individual owner- I hip abolished, the steed will be starving 0 ihile the grass will be growing. We are f tot sure whether a new edition of human I lature would have to be issued first. If a re wait for the descent of the New Jeru- i alem of the idealists, we will have to s rait long. Let us have a remedy "while v re wait"—practical and immediate in its implication. We are afraid that to up- c ■not the tree of human nature and plant a fresh one is too large an order for us. Lt any rate it would be a slow process. et us rather lop off a few superfluous tranches and transplant them in fresh oil. When looking for an expedient ernedy for the unemployed evil we must r. ake society as we find it and not as it hould be. It would be very easy to apply 1, panacea if by some economical 1-niracle ve could first of all transform our present c niquitous social system into an ideal ine. t

T. Evans, K.C., M.P., at hri Cardiff Assizes, in opening an action or alleged libel, slander, and profession- il negligence. The plaintiff was Wm. fenry Williams, collier, North-road, Vbercyiion, and the defendant Dr. Alex mder James Griffiths, Abercynon. Mr. i. T. Evans and Mr. John Sankey (in- structed by Messrs. J. Jones, Pughe, and )avey, Pontypridd), were for the plain- :iff; Mr. Abel Thomas, K.C., M.P., and Vir. Vaughan Williams (instructed by Messrs. Brasseur and Oakley, London) for :he defendant. It was stated that plaintiff met with an iccident while at his work, and was ;reated by the defendant, medical ad- riser to the men at the colliery, and Wil- iams received 5s. a week from the col- iery sick fund. Plaintiff also placed limseif upon the Hearts of Oak Society, )f which he was a member. Subsequent- y, however, Dr. Griffith, it was alleged, :old plaintiff in the presence of his (plain- :iff's) wife and daughter that he was not iuffering from the effects of the accident, sut from a loathsome disease. He then iaused a declaration to be sent to the Hearts of Oak that Williams was suffer- ing from a certain complaint. Defendant lid not sign that certificate, but it was in lis handwriting, and it was sent to Lon- don through a third party. A member )f the local committee of the Hearts of Jak said to Dr. Griffith, "We don't under- stand your certificate." "It is quite ;lear," remarked defendant. "You stop its (piaintifFs) money. He is suffering 'rom a certain complaint." "Is it possi- )le?" asked the committeeman in sur- prise. "Yes, he is," replied the doctor. Mr. Evans, in his opening, said defend- int was actuated by spleen and malice in ivhat. he did, and he hoped the jury would nark their disapproval of his conduct by iwarding substantial damages. Plaintiff, in the witness box, said he had been married 17 years, and there were iye children. The treatment he first re- ceived from Dr. Griffith made him rather than better. "Then," went on Williams, speaking ivith some emotion, he said to me, 'How ini T to swear thnt what you are suffer- ing from is not the result of drink?' Have von ever seen me under the influ- ■nce of drink, doctor?' Tasked. He said, I don't knovV.' doctor,' I said, if I were to say I saw you drunk yester- lay, and could not substantiate my state- nent. what would you say?' He replied, I don't know. Witness was so upset that he walked ilong the road crying, and met Dr. Wal- ters, in whom he confided. Dr. Walters sxamined him, and at once certified that ic was suffering from the results of the iccident. sustained at the works At this lime plaintiff w-t; in receipt of sick pay. When on a visií: to witness's house, Dr. Griffith took from a vase a Hearts of hk paper on which Dr. Walters had writ- ten a certificate, and he (Dr. Griffith) ivrote on it "Not the result of an acci- was, and then defendant made the £ 0 atement complained of. "What have I me that you treat me like this ?" pleaded tll itness. "I have sent for other medical m id to disprove your accusation." Nine tb c ten years ago Dr. Griffith unjustly ac- n, used witness of having written a, letter ce bout him in a local paper Ul Cross-examined by Mr. Abel Thomas, Cl itness denied with much emphasis that p] 1e defendant attended his wife and chil- tl ren in the fall of 1903. Cf Mrs. Williams, plaintiff's wife, gave VI: orroborative evidence, but in reply to tl [r. Thomas said that Dr. Griffith treated w er and the children in 1903. He paid ai veral visits to the house. pi Dr. 1. L. Morris, Abercynon, said he xamined plaintiff, and found not the lightest trace of the disease which Dr. i* h-iffith alleged he suffered from. If he P id so suffer then defendant's treatment 1J ras quite the reverse to what it should S< ave been. *■' Dr. Currie stated that in October and s, November, 1904, he was in the ei-aploy c f defendant as assistant. He examined Villiams, and came to the conclusion he C1 ras suffering from an accident, and not rom the disease mentioned by Dr. Srriffith. Witness in a conversation with „ )r. Griffith in reference to the action ad- t; ised him to let the matter drop, but Dr. f Jriffith said, ( 'HE CAN'T BRING AN ACTION; HE I" HAS NO MONEY." I ,Vitness was asked if Dr. Griffith had a J1 :rudge against Williams, and replied that 1 Dr. Griffith said Williams had written a etter about him to a local paper some ears before, and that lie had it in for lim. j" Dr. Griffith stated that he had been in -1 jractice at Abercynon since 1890. He had 1: lever heard anything of the newspaper p ncident until it was mentioned in a COlll- I )ensation case at Mountain Ash in Febru- try this year. Witness went on to say v :hat plaintiff came and asked for a club I -ertific,ite, saying he had met with an iccident. Witness proceeded to examine s lim, and came to the conclusion that he t vas not suffering from an accident but v fnbm lepididymitis, Tesutting probably 'rom another disease. Williams later ameo to witness and asked him to give (I t certificate that his illness was due to an iccident, but witness declined as he could t lot prove that he was suffering from an iccident. "Oh," said Williams, "you can a :asily give me one; the overman knows 1 :hat I had an accident." Witness, how- t !ver, still refused to give the certificate. E He denied that he had published to any- t me the fact that plaintiff was suffering ( :10m a disease, and also denied that he iiad mentioned to Dr. Currie anything t ibout plaintiff having published a letter ( n a newspaper. Dr. Currie, in a conver- < sation after the examination, agreed with t witness's diagnosis. The jury found for plaintiff on two counts, the libel and the slander, and awarded < £ 150 damages.

P. Linton, ( Clerk."—in answer to a question by Mr. ] David Lewis, the Chairman said he thought that the Council should compen- sate the allotment holders rather than the landowner, inasmuch as the Council were acquiring the land.—Councillor W. Davies proceeded to explain his action with regard to the cemetery question. The Council had some time ago appointed ( a committee to deal with the matter. Several attempts were made to obtain land, but with no success. They ulti- mately decided to write to Lord Aberdare j to ask for a piece of land at Abercwmboi; the reply received being to the effect that the Council could. if they wished, take over the allotment gardens. The price stated was = £ 1,000 per acre. The Council offered £ (>00 per acre, but the landlord re- fused to reduce his price lower than £ 800 an acre. This was accepted by the Coun- cil. With regard to compensation, al- though personally he felt they were en- ] titled to it, the Council would not pay ( anything over. That matter should be placed before the owner of the land. He was in favour of putting the Allotment Act into force at Mountain Ash, if they could do so with advantage.—Mr. Charles Rees mentioned that rather than pay a monstrous price for land an independent person should be called in to arbitrate on the pricc to be paid. He thought that if they went about this matter in the right way they would be able to get land at a reasonable price. (Cheers.) Mr. Rees then made a proposition that they write the Council suggesting the following nieces of land as suitable for allotments: C-yernifor Field, a piece of land by the "Target Field," find some land under Tvbwbach Farm.—This was seconded by Mr. Pavid Williams, and unanimously carried.—Mr. Noah Truman suggested that they mention to the Council Hint they would, after receiving the result of the negotiations, consider the question of ensuring the Council against loss. — Several persons then rose to put questions to Councillor Davies, but the Chairman interposed with the remark thft it was obviously unfair to tackle Mr. Davies on such a variety of subjects without his having notice of A proposition was mad0 by Mr. Isaac Jones, and seconded by Mr. Ben Thomas, that a meeting of the ratepayers of Mountain Ash be called in a month's time.—This was carried.

he Education yuesnon. ëL MACGAIRY, OF BIRMINGHAM, AT MOUNTAIN ASH. )n Monday evening, at the Worknien'f- stitute Lecture-room, Mr. McGairy, of rmingham, organiser of the United ish League, addressed a meeting of the' anch at Mountain Ash. Mr. Joseph mating presided over a good attendance. Mr. McGairy, who devoted the greater .rt of his remarks to the Education con- 3verisy, offered the following three al- rnatives to end the present struggle: (1) To allow each parent to nominate e school at which he wished to educate s child. (2) To relieve Catholics from paying the lucation rate, and they would ungrudg- gly keep their own schools. (3) To let each school receive out of the- ,tes a share of the money in proportion, the grants earned by each school. The speaker mentioned that as long agf Ley considered that a good education ust be based upon religion so long would' ley brook no interference with their re- gions teaching. Referring to the Edu- ition Act, he said it had not been aoi aadulterated pleasure. Difficulties had 'opped up as at Mountain Ash and other laces. Their opponents realised that ley were not united; that there was no )hesion amongst them, and they took ad- tntage of it. By forming a branch of le United Irish League in the town they ould be able to join together and resist ;tacks. Mr. McGairy touched upon the ossibility of a GENERAL ELECTION i the near future. He wished to im- ress upon them the great issues which it lvolved. Who were they as Irishmen Ding to support ? He saw little reason why ley should support the Liberals, and he iw less reason why they should support onservatives. His advice to them was iat in local election they should support andidates who were for FAIR PLAY TO THE CATHOLIC SCHOOLS; nd with regard to Parliamentary elec- ions to wait for the word of command- rom the leaders of the Irish Party. The Conservatives would, 110 doubt, be very eady to claim the honour of passing the education Act through Parliament, but< e could tell them that it would not have, een passed had it not been for the party e was asking them to support—the Irish- 'arty. (Cheers.) The Chairman, in proposing a vote of hanks to the lecturer, said Mr. McGairy ad handled a very dry subject in a pleas- ng manner. The lecturer had clearly iointed out the )ANGERS OF UNDENOMINATIONAL, RELIGIOUS TEACHING, ,"hich ultimately developed into unbelief, le was entirely in sympathy with the- organiser's opinion that all Irishmen hould wait the word of command from he leaders, and when the time came tc- ote straight for "HOME RULE FOR IRELAND." Cheer s.) Mr. Win. Murphy seconded the propcsi-- ion, and it was carried with enthusiasm. The following musical items were given ,t intervals: Two violin solos were given )y Mr. Joseph Keating; Irish reel dance- 03, Mr. C. Keating; Irish song, Mr. John Sullivan; song, "Wearing of the Green," )y Mr. MeGairy, and Irish song, Mr., Keating. A hearty vote of thanks was given to" he chairman on the proposition of Mr. J. j. Lucey, and seconded by Mr. MeGairy. 'God save Ireland" was sung at the close., he solo being taken by Mr. MeGairy.

The Slationalists were strengthened by the liellision 01 Reggie Biayshaw, a player vho has shone for his team as outside leÏtr ind who was compelled to 'stand down nviiig to an injury sustained some time igo. The game was strenuously con- ;ested, the respective forwards playing* it their best. The Town team displayed t sound defence, but their forwards were t little below form. In the first half, William Henry Richards, Reggie Bray- ;haw, and Harold Matliias scored for the Slationalists, whilst Beavan netted for lie Town lads. During the second halt ;he Town forwards lost some snlendld ;hances of scoring, although they w-eie veil supported by their backs. However, Jharlie Williams broke away and scored ;he Town's second goal.

The only point that the >alowners have gained is that in future le average selling prices of the coal w, jtually delivered or shipped will deter- th line the wage rate, and not the average di illing price of the coal sold.
