ABERDARE TRADES COUNCIL, The monthly meeting of the above was held on Thursday evening under the presidency of Mr. Win. Lawrence. There were also present Messrs. E. Stonelake (secretary), Ted Davies (assistant secre- tary), and J. H. Bruton (treasurer). J THE POLICE UNION. A circular letter was read from the above stating that the freedom of all trade unionists was at stake if the Gov- ernment were successful in breaking the Police Union. The meeting passed a resolution expressing appreciation of the I stand made by the police for the prin- ciples of trade unionism. An appeal for funds from the same source was referred I to the lodges. LAND VALUES. It was decided to take no action in re- J ference to a letter from the Welsh League for the Taxation of Land Values. MR. STANTON CRITICISED. The Aberaman Lodge wrote asking the Trades Council to protest with all its power against the action of the High Constable on July 21st at Aberdare when his address was nothing more than an incentive to disturbance." Mr. Tom Davies, Trecynon: The best thing we can do is to give him the or- der of the boot. Councillor Jno. Evans favoured send- ing the letter to the Home Secretary. Mr. Stanton had been responsible for all the meetings broken up. Mr. Norman, Aberaman: Did not Mr. Stanton defend himself by saying It was not I who sent you there gentle- men" ? Mr. Stonelake remarked it had been said that the Trades Council did not re- present the working classes. When or- ganised labour held a meeting, who did the shouting down? It was simply the members of other Unions. He thought that was a point which should be brought before the lodges. This was agreed to. STREET MARKETS. The Aberaman Lodge further wrote urging that the Food Control Committee should be approached with a view to the establishment of street markets to com- bat profiteering. The Secretary said the question had already been considered by the commit- tee, and the Clerk had been instructed to report on the question of tolls and also on what was being done in towns of similar size to Aberdare. CUTTING BOTH WAYS. The Merthyr Trades Council wrote stating that a large number of colliers employed in the Aberdare district were resident in Merthyr. It was the Aber- dare Council who collected their sub- scriptions whist it was under the Mer- thyr Council they came for administra- tion. The Chairman said this question had been discussed oil a previous occasion. The local Council was in the same diffi- culty in regard to local colliers who worked at Mountain Ash, and it would be just the same if they wrote to Moun- tain Ash asking that the fees of these men should be returned. He suggested that a letter be sent to the Merthyr Council pointing out the difficulties ap- pertaining to the situation.—Agreed. ALLEGED VICTIMISATION. Mr. Bowden, representing the Opera- tive Bakers' Union, alleged that a mem- ber of the Union had been victimised by a local employer as a result of the re- cent bakers' strike.—It was decided that the delegates should bring the matter to the notice of their respective lodges. LIST OF VOTERS. The Secretary dealt at length with the preparation of the voters' list, and said the younger element required to be in- terested in this matter. The task of compiling the list was not an easy one, but plenty of men could Oe got to as- sist if their interest was only aroused. MR. PROWLE ON POOR LAW. Mr. John Prowle delivered an interest- ing address on Poor Law Administration and said that at Merthyr the Labour members were now in the ascendancy. In that ascendancy they had inherited something which was going to test their mettle. There were huge loans to be paid off and they had been landed in a nice kettle of fish. There had recently been a scandal regarding the food of the nurses. There was no blame on the Guardians for this as it was impossible to engage a Guardian to look after every officer. Personally he would like to see the dietary table removed from their in- stitutions. They ha 1 no such table in their hospital and he believed it should be abolished in the workhouses. It was quite possible to do so and Mr. Bruton and other of his colleagues had already made a move in the matter. The diet of each individual should be specified. He did not know what was going to be the ultimate fate of Boards of Guard- ians. Since the question of their aboli- tion had been discussed, the work at ilerthyr had increased enormously, and they were told that they were in for a serious winter. In some places even at the present time men who had fought for their country were being admitted. If the Guardians were to be abolished why did the Government not let them know ?

BRITISH WORKERS' LEAGUE. The Rev. E T. Evans desires us to say that the actual words he used in refer- ence to the Service men at the Peace Dillne" of the above iii. Aberdare, were as follows:—"Your loyalty, heroism, sacrifice and abandon on the gory battle- fields cf France and .other parts of the world; on the sea, and in the air, will live in our memories as an inspiration when the snivelling liyprocrisy and ar- rant cowardice of our spoon-fed pacifists will stink in the nostrils of every pat- riot through countless generations."
