The Aberdare Leader

Aberdare I.L.P. On Sunday evening a meeting was held under the chairmanship of Mr..J. Davies, when Mr. George Richards read a very interesting paper on "Evolution." Messrs. J. Phillips, W. Phillips, G. TIiomas, J. Jenkins, D. Jenkins, S. Wil- liams, T. J. Gibby, and the chairman took part in the discussion. On Monday evening, under the presi- dency of Mr. Matt Lewis, a branch meet- ing was' held. There was a fair attend- ance of members. The chief item on the agenda was the appointment of a lecture secretary in place of Mr. E. Davies, who has taken over the general secretaryship. Mr. Matt Lewis was una- nimously selected. Mr. E. Davies gave a-I very interesting report of the proceed- ings at the annual conference of the I.L.P. at Huddersfield. The Branch Executive Committee have been discussing the advisability of get- ting a more suitable place for an Insti- tute. The "present building is becoming too small for members, and the sug- gestion was laid before the members at this meeting. Miss Rose Rees, the secre- tary of the Women's Branch, said that the present time was an opportune one to make a move to get a building in a more central part of the town. All sec- tions of the branch were increasing so rapidly that the place was getting too small to accommodate the members. They must prepare a place for the younger people, and she trusted that the members would decide to go in for a larger building. Messrs. W. Phillips, Idris Davies, T. J. Gibby, Tom Davies, the chairman, and Councillor Tom ^owen spoke in favour of the suggestion, It was decided to open a building fund, and that a special meeting be called to further discuss the question. Mr. E. Davies, the secretary, read a paragraph from "Llais Llafur," which caused some merriment among the' mem- bers. A correspondent in that paper stated that the Aberdare friends had built a corrugated iron hall to hold 150 to 200, and that Mr. J. Williams, M.P., is to deliver a lecture there shortly, the proceeds to go to the hall fund. Some other Aber is the fortunate place that has got this hall and not Sweet 'Berdar. A vote of sympathy was passed witlf Mr T. I. Jones, Mardy, in his illness owing to a shooting accident!

The^Old Volunteers. j • The Aberdare Detachment of the 5th Battalion 1st Welsh Regiment (formerly the 3rd V.B. Welsh Regiment) paraded the town for the first time under their new role, on Monday night, with Major Phillips in charge. There was a very strong muster, and the men seemed quite willing and eager to give the new scheme a fair trial. Colonel James, V.D., Com- D,anding Officer of the Battalion, ad- dressing the men, said he was most pleased with the way the Aberdare De- tacnment had responded to the new order. He was surprised at the business- like way in which they turned up, con- sidering the little encouragement for ac- commodation at the Drill Hall. He hoped, however, that, with the help of the townspeople, they would build a suit- able place with reading-room, gymnas- ium, miniature rifle range, etc, where the men could go on a winter's night to amuse and instruct themselves. The Colonel went on to say that Aberdare was at present the strongest detachment in the Battalion, and he hoped they j would always keep the lead. He lament- ed the absence of the band, which was j a great drawback. The present number of all ranks is 94, of which 84 were present on parade. The total number required is 240. The young men of Aberdare are appealed to come forward and show their loyalty by join'ng the new force and bringing the Detachment up to its full strength. The annual camp will be held at Portltcawl from 2nd to 16th of August. Those who are J not able to attend the 15 days can attend the first eight.

Chapter of Fatalities at Aberaman. Early on Monday morning three night- men working at Aberaman Colliery were killed by a fall of roof. They were: George Stear, 208, Cardiff-road; Thomas Lewis, 2, Gamblyn-place, and Samuel Wilkinson, 14, Gladstone-street. The circumstances touching their death were related at the inquest held at Aberaman.j Police Station on Wednesday before Mr. R. J. Rhys, coroner. Mr- Trump, H.M. Inspector of Mines, was present on behalf of the Home Office; Mr. W. P. Nicholas, Pontypridd, Mr. C. B. Stanton, miners' agent, and Mr. T. R. Edwards, checkweigher, for the Miners' Federation, and Mr. T. L. Davies, manager, for the P.D. Co. Charles Tucker gave evidence of identi- fication regarding Stear who was his Z!1 brother-in-law, 31 years of age, married, and had two children. John Morgan identified Lewis as his son-in-law, 31 years of age, married, and five children. D. Fitzgerald Hyne, a coloured man, identified Wilkinson, also a coloured man. Wilkinson, was 37 years of age, and a native of Barbadoes, West Indies. Had worked in a colliery for the last three years; previous to that was a sea- man. Wilkinson was not killed on the spoil, but died at 1.30 p.m. the same day. David Morgan, a ripping contractor, said he was the first to discover the fall, which covered the three unfortunate men. He worked about 500 yards away from the fall. He was going back to- wards the pit bottom to relight his lamp. He could see one of the men—Wilkin- son—and tried to free him, but he screamed so much that he (witness) de- sisted, and went in search of aid. Wit- ness met a workman named Wm. Row- lands, and another workman, also John Griffiths, the Ehotman. They got Wil- kinson free and shortly afterwards suc- ceeded in extricating the other two, who were dead. A mandril, sledge, shovel, and bar were close to the bodies. Morris Phillips the leader of the gang, was not working that night. By Mr. Nicholas; The road was not timbered where the fall occurred. The gang were engaged in ripping down a low piece of rock, 9ft. one side and 6ft. or. the other. John Griffiths, shotman, said he passed the spot twice on Sunday night. The bridge (the low piece of rock referred to) had been there for months. As there were no falls to be cleared on that night, witness sent the men to rip the bridge down. He advised them to work from the lower side. By Mr. Nicholas: He had not noticed any "squeeze/' The place was called Morris" Deep. It was nearly finished. There had not been frequent falls on that heading. Mr. T.'L., Davies: Did you sound the tipper top?—Yes, and it sounded all right. Mr. Nicholas: What did you sound it i with?—A thick stick. Mr. T. L. Davies: If Stear thought there was any danger, would he and the other men have gone under ? Coroner: I dare say not. The witness cannot say that. Mr. T. L. Davies: No, sir. Mr. Nicholas Mr. Davies is not usually so generous. Sometimes he pleads wilful and serious misconduct. (Laughter.) Evan Roberts night fireman, said he was of opinion that Lewis was using the bar when the fall occurred. Lewis was the haulier belonging to the gang, but probably he gave a helping hand to Stears. In addition to the bridge, the upper top on either side had fallen. T. L. Davies explained the plan and said that the fall amounted to about 12 trams full. In reply to Mr. Trump, witness said they had miles of \op untimbered. Tim- ber was dangerous on main roads. Coroner: Can you tell me whether there is any safe thing underground? Witness: No, sir. Foreman (Mr. J. Williams): A man- hole is supposed to be safe. (Laughter.) The Coroner summed up, and the jury returned a verdict of Accidental deaths." The Coroner and the same Jury then enquired into the circumstances attend- ing the death of Edward Chidgey, 33, Glanaman-road, Cwmaman. who was killed on Tuesday morning at Cwmneol Colliery. Frederick Chidgey, brother, vi gave evidence of identification, and added that deceased was 52 years of age, and unmarried. He was a native of Taun- ton, and had worked at collieries for about 28 years John Matthews, collier, said that Chid- gey was clearing a fall in a certain head- ing when another fall occurred, com- pletely burying him. Witness shouted from the face of the stall, "Are you right?" and Chidgey replied, "Give me help." Just as witness was about reach- ing the spot more rubbish fell, and by the time deceased was freed he was quite dead. One of the stones which formed part of the fall weighed 3 cwts. He was of opinion that Chidgey was suffocated, for he was in a sitting posture with his head weighed down between his legs. Timothy Davies, night fireman, said he gave instructions to Chidgey to clear the fall He had sounded the top in the morning, and found it all right. Benjamin Lewis proved the plans, and the jury returned a verdict of a Acci- dental Death." ABERDARE COLLIER KILLED. An inquest on the body of Thomas Davies, Catherine-street, Aberdare, who was killed on Monday morning at Fforchwen Colliery, Cwmaman, was held on Wednesday morning at Aberdare Police Station, before Mr. R. J. Rhys. Mr. Saint, H.M.I.M., represented the Home Office. Mr. W. J. Heppell was present for the Cwmaman Coal Co., and Mr. W. P. Nicholas and Mr. C. B. Stan- ton represented the MinersJ Federation. John Davies, 7, Catherine-street, said he was the father of deceased, who lived with him. He was 18 years of age, and a collier at Fforchwen Colliery, Cwmaman. His partner was Thomas Rees, and they worked on shares. Witness said he worked in the same district as his son. Deceased was killed about 9.30 Monday morning. Witness went to the place where his son worked after he heard of the accident. His son had not been ex- tricated from the fall when he arrived. There was a fall of about 15 to 18 cwts. of stone. Witness was of opinion that his son was pulling coal down at the time of the fall. No timber had been discharged with the fall. Wm. Edwards, collier, said he worked in the next stall to the deceased. lie heard the fall, and he heard Davies screaming. When he went to the spot Davies was covered with the debris from his middle up. Witness tried to remove a big stone, but failed, and he went for assistance. Deceased had pulled some ccal down, and his body lay on this coal and the stone above him. Mark Jones, who worked in the next stall to ^deceased on the other side, said he did not hear the fall, but he helped to extricate deceased. John Edwards, fireman, said he ex- amined the stall in question at 6.40 Monday morning. He marked it as fit to work in. He also called there about 15 minutes before the accident hap- pened. He knew that deceased was working by himself that day. Witness believed him to be thoroughly capable of working a stall by himself. There was plenty of timber in the stall if any were required. The Surveyor at the Colliery proved ;he plan, and the jury returned a verdict )f "Accidental death."

Society was held on Thursday evening last. Mr Moss presided. The topic under con- sideration was a The Lord's Supper." Mr. Howell Williams read an able paper in which he viewed the subject from the Scriptural point of view, as regarded its institution, and also the doctrinal phase of the subject. Much praise is due to cur young brother for the manifest in- terest he has taken in this important question. Mr. Wm. Jor.es (deacon) gave an excellent address emphasising the sacredness and spirituality of the sub- ject. He thought the spiritual signifi- cance of the rite might engage the minds or Christians more than it did. He feared there was not the sincere reflec- tion there might be, and trusted that the young people would give their most earnest attention to this most significant rite—the only one established by Jesns Christ. The Chairman alluded to cer- tain portions of Scripture bearing on the topic, and spoke very earnestly on the spiritual import of the subject Mr W. Eynon also made a few remarks en 0 1 the topic.

Thomas, M.P., and Mr. Keir Hardie, M.P., of the resolution passed by I the society in favour of the Licensing Bill.

APPOINTMENT OF CHAIRMAN. Mr. W. Davies, ex-chairman, was elected to the chair pro tern. He there- upon thanked the members and officers for' their support during the past year. Mr. Thos. Jones proposed a hearty vote of thanks to Mr. Davies for the able manner in which he performed his duties. Mr. D. Rogers seconded, and referred tc. Mr. Davies as the father of the Coun- cil. Rev. E.

Lamburn, seconded by Mr. Bruce Jones, Capt. Gray was elected to the chair. Capt. Gray, on taking the chair, thank- ed the members for the honour. He had been considering whether he would allow himself to be nominated, because he anti- cipated. a. busy year. However, should he be unable to attend regularly, he, hoped the members would excuse him. The members next in order of seniority were Mr. W. Millar (elected in 1901) and Mr. J. Charles (1903). Mr. Bruce Jones said he was also elected in 1903, and wanted to know why his name had been omitted. The Director said he had acted upon information given him. He was sorry for the,, omission. Mr. Bruce Jones' name was then added to the list. Rev. E. V. Tidman said that according to the rules members must be on the Council for six years before they were eligible for the post of vice-chairman. Mr. W. Millar, being a vice-chairman of the Council, was also not eligible. He (Mr. Tidman) thought it would be better to abolish the six years clause, and he would give notice of motion to that effect. Mr. T. W. Jones moved that the ap- pointment of vice-chairman be deferred for a fortnight.—This was agreed to. COMMITTEES. The P.T. Centre Sub-Committee were re-elected; also the R.C.

The Director reported that the claims sent out to parents of children who had been fed by the committee, amounted to A312 3s. 8d. Of that, only 6d. had been paid—three amounts of 2d. each. Rev. E. V. Tidman: It is about time we should draw the line and recover this amount. Chairman: I quite agree with you. Mr. Lamburn: Have applications been made for the money? Director: Yes. Some of the persons have come to me to say that they cannot pay. The Chairman suggested that a com- mittee be formed to decide what steps they should take to recover the money. Mr. E..Morris: The notice sent out to the parents does not state that they will be prosecuted. Chairman: That is understood- They have got to pay unless they can show that their circumstances are such that they cannot possibly pay. It is time we took this matter in hand before it goes too far. Mr .W. Lamburn: So far as the work- men of Mountain Ash are concerned, you will have their support in any steps taken to recover the money. The work- men take very, strong exception to letting the parents go free from their obliga- tions to pay for the food consumed by their children. Mr. T. W. Jones: Are any children fed at present ? Director: Yes, at Newtown and Mis- kin. Mr. W. Davies spoke in favour of tak- ing steps to enforce payment from those who were able to pay.
