Bwllfa Strike. The Rival Unions and the Federation. In accordance with the notices hand- ed in by the workmen of Bwllfa No. 1, 2 and 3 on Jan. 1st, all the men em- ployed at these collieries struck work oq Sattii-dav., They number about 2,500. The men are out as a protest against the employment of non-union- ists. The awkward feature of this crisis is that there is a fairly large number of men who are neither non-unionists nor Federationists. This section belong to rival unions, such as the Wage Rate; Men's Union and the General Labour- ers Union. Mr. Stanton and the com- mittee are bent upon compelling all to rejoin the Federation before a general resumption of work will be permitted. It is stated that the non-unionists are fast re-entering the fold, but some trouble is anticipated with the men who have paid for some months to the two organisations named, who will.doubtless pay strike pay should the stoppage last for some time. The local leaders of the federation aver that the Conciliation Board do not recognise any body repre- senting the miners apart from the r ederation, and therefore no other or- ganisation can effectually help the men to obtain better wages and better con- ditions. The Day Wage Men's Association held a meeting on Tuesday at the Trecvnon Public Hall, Mr. David Hopkins presid- ing. He had heard some Federationists h," said, describe the members of his Association as non-unionists. What right had they to do this ? Their Asso- ciation was a registered trades union He was quite prepared for the Associ- ation to work in harmony with the Federation.—There was a prolonged discussion, and proceedings at certain intervals were fairly brisk. One person said he had been a member of the Feder- ation since it was started, until recent- ly He was of opinion that the Feder- ation shouid adopt the transfer system a". between one trades union and another. Mr Henry Davies, Aberaman and others spoke, but no resolution was Pr? e members of the Miners' Federation intend holding a meeting on Friday in order to ascer- tain how many yet remain outside.

Haggar's Coliseum, Aberdare It is pleasing to see this very popular place of amusement still doing so well and yet it is not surprising, as on the occasion of our last visit there we were astounded at the magnificent display of the latest and best pictures. Not only were the subjects beyond reproach, but the quality was perfect. e had seen pictures at other places, but these were a pleasure to look at, and were without that objectionable flicker that ruins the eyesight. Indeed, it is astonishing how our old friend Haggar can give such an entertainment for such a low charge. Of course the show is not a Drurv Lane one, but it is now well fitted out and cosy. A glance at our advertisement column will show you what is on, and we can heartily recommend all classes to _L r-t TT msii VIa Jiaggar s at Jeast twice a week.

Tragic Occurrence at Moun- tain Ash. On Tuesday evening the officials of the T.V.R. Station were alarmed when it was reported that a passenger bv the 8.43 train was dangerously ill. The re- port proved only too true, for when Mr. Morgan, booking clerk, and others, assisted the lady from the train, it was found she was in a dying condition. The lady, who was accompanied by her sis- ter, Miss Morgan (daughters of Mr. Morgan, some time proprietor of the Capcoch Inn), died before she could be removed from the Station. It is only about 11 months she was married at Soar Chapel, Mountain Ash, to Mr. Leighton, son of Mr. G. Leighton, who was some time ago buyer for the P.D. Colliery Co. She had resided at Llan- trisant, and was coming for a change of air to her old home in Abercwmboi. Much sympathy is felt with the family. I

Doctor Deadlock at the Mount. As reported in our last issue, the ballot of Messrs. Nixon's resulted in an overwhelming majority for 2d. pound- age, and the doctors to pay all levies, Cottage Hospital, etc. Up to now the doctors have given no definite reply, but from a well informed source we under- stand that they do not intend to depart from their original decision-that of 2d. poundage clear. The situation is ex- ceedingly critical, and augurs very bad- ly for any definite settlement, especially in view of the ever troublous question of non-unionism which at the present time is seriously agitating the whole district.

Death in America. The following appeared in a Fromberg (U.S.A.) paper:— Mrs. Mary Davies, a well known and much loved resident of Fromberg, passed from this life to the unknown future at 4.0 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 15. Mrs. Davies had been failing in health for quite a long time. She was 76 years of age, and had lived an exemplary Christian life. She was tender and loval to her friends and will be greatly missed by them. Mary Davies was born in Wales in the year locw, and was united in marriage in that country in 1860 to Thomas Davies. They came to America in 1880, and settled near Columbia, Missouri, where they lived a few years, moving to Dakota, where 20 years of their life was spent. Mrs. Davies came to Fromberg five years ago, where some of her children were living. She was the mother of 13 chil- dren, eight of whom, four boys and four girls, survive her: Jack and Evan Davies and Mrs. G. T. Killorn of From- berg; Mrs. J. A. Moses of Chimney Rock, and Mrs. Liza Williams of Helena; Mrs. Eleanor Williams, of Patent Fuel, Cwmbach, Wales; David, of Vandalia, Mo.; and Tom, of Dillon Mont; three of which, Jack, Evan and Mrs. Killorn, were at the bedside when she passed away. She became a mem- ber of the Baptist Church early in life and died in that faith. Thus is record- ed the life history of a good woman and a beautiful life, one that has made the world better by reason of her having lived in it. She was interred at Rock- vale Cemetery on Jan. 17. Mrs. Davies went from Gadlvs to America 27 years ago. She was the grand-mother of Tom and Miriam Davies, Gadlys St.

Letters to the Editor. A-V.A.D.H.R.I.P.-ism. Dear Sir,—I note in your issue of the 1st inst. a letter from Mr W. A. Davies, H.R.I.P., the Aberaman final authority on porter, pop, alcohol, water, milk, public houses, workhouses, prisons, in- fant rearing, Dr. Barnardo's Homes, etc., etc., etc., and may I be allowed to say that it is the most wonderful collec- tion of arrant nonsense I have yet seen. The letter purports to be a reply to your correspondent B.B.D., but I find that Mr. Davies is so determined to give us a rambling account of his vaunted tee- total qualifications that he has only time to answer B.B.D. by telling him he is a fool! Whether this latter statement be true or not, it is not for me to say, but surely a man who claims to have put in 62 years of mental labour, who practi- cally claims to have done more good wcrk than any other hundred men, who says he knows more than the authorities on the subjects of which he writes, .and who, last but not least, can append the magic but inexplicable letters H.R.I.P. to his name,—surely a man of this re- doubtable calibre should not write such inexcusable piffle in reply to one who dares to ask him questions. I note further on that Mr. Davies says: "It was said from a public plat- form in Aberdare one time, about 20 years ago, that I did more good work than any 100 men." Now I could quite understand that remark if Mr. Davies himself was the speaker; if not, perhaps he will give us more particulars of this notable utterance. Perhaps, also, he will let us know what is troubling him when he says, "I got at one time 10,000 signatures to 'go off' as a Temperance Lecturer." How many years was that ago? Who counted the signatures? With regard to the letters H.R.I.P. which Mr. Davies is in the habit of us- ing after his name, I see that either through modesty or else inability he gives no clue as to their meaning. Un- less, therefore, he enlightens us in his next letter we will reasonably conclude that they have none. In conclusion, let me urge upon Mr. Davies the futility of writing these epistles which are full of idle boastings and fanatic utterances. If, as you say, you have studied the question of Intem- perance for about 60 years, then surely you ought to know something about it; and when you have anything new and interesting to say we will be pleased to have a line from you. But, if you can- not write about alcohol without refrain- ing from giving us your history and qualifications, then please refrain from writing.—Yours, etc., A.K.N.U.T.

The hall, which accommodates upwards of 500 children, is filled every evening. The pioneers of this work at Carmel are Mr D. M. John and Mr James Bosher, assisted by an active band of workers.
