Hauliers Stop Colliery. Proceedings at Ystrad. Claim and Counterclaim. At Ystrad Police Court on Monday, before the Stipendiary (Mr. D. Lleufer Thomas) and other magistrates, Messrs. Cory Bros. claimed £ 1 2s. 7d. per man from twelve hauliers employed at the Pentre Colliery for breach of contract, they having absented themselves from work on the 8th November. Mr. Chas. Kenshole, Aberdare, appeared for the Company, and Mr. A. T. James (Messrs. Morgan, Bruce, Nicholas, and James), instructed by the Miners' Federation, appeared to defend. Mr. Ben Davies (miners' agent) was oresent in Court. In opening the claim, Mr. Kenshole said that the facts were as follow On Friday. 29th October, about 8.30 in the morning, a tram upon the. surface incline of the Pentre Colliery appeared to have run wild, and smashed a steam pipe which conveyed steam to the fan-engine. The whole of the ventilation was thereby affected, and all the ren had to be with- drawn. In the 5th November, when the men received their pay tickets, they found that they had only received half a day for that particular day. They went to see the management and claimed a full day, and if refused, threatened not to work on the following Monday. On the latter date, the whole of the workmen except the hauliers came to work, and the pit had to be stopped. The hauliers resumed work on the following day. Thomas Williams, under-manager, gave evidence bearing out Mr. Kenshole's statement. Cross-examined, witness admitted that the Company had the right to call out suitable colliers to drive, and on the date. of the stoppage several men were asked to drive. Geo. Saunders, overman, said that he asked several of the colliers to drive, but they refused. Edgar Hall, agent, proved the standing charges of the Company for the day of the stoppage, and added that the loss to the Company for that day was £ 130. For the 'defence, Mr. James pleaded that the whole burden of the stoppage should not be placed on the 89 hauliers employed at the colliery. The Company claimed the right to call out colliers to drive, and under the circumstances it was the Company's duty to work the colliery as best as they could. Mr. James then addressed the Bench on a, counterclaim by five of the hauliers concerned for a full day's wage. These men, said Mr. James, were down the colliery until 9.30. They were daywage men, and he maintained that it was generally held that once a daywage man commenced his shift, he was entitled to the whole day's wage. These men had been down three hours, and he held they should not suffer for a breakage in the machinery. Thomas Williams, under-manager, said that he had been employed at the col- liery 34 years, and it had always been the custom to pay half a day's wage when the men came out before noon. Cross-examined, witness admitted that on one or two occasions of fatalities at the colliery the men had been paid in full, although they came out early in the day. Re-examined, witness said that on one of these occasions the men had worked an hour overtime the previous day and commenced an hour sooner on the morning of the aacident, owing to an excursion on the following day (Saturday). They had, therefore, worked more than two hours and as the day was treated as an ordinary pay-Saturday, they were paid the full turn. Further evidence was given, by Benj. Devonald (timekeeper), Thos. Jones (fire- man), G. Saunders (overman), and Wm. Jenkins (fireman). Evidence was given by several workmen that it was the custom of the manage- ment to pay a full day's wage in cases of a breakage or fatal accidents. In the result the Stipendiary gave judg- ment for £1 Is. damages in each case on the claim as a set-off against the wages of the workmen, and also held that the counterclaim had failed. Apart from the custom he did not see why the men should not be entitled to a full day's pay when they were called out in this way. There had been primarily an application to pro- vide for a full day's nay for a full day's work, but Mr. Kenshole had set up the custom that the men had been only paid a full day when they were down the mine over half a turn. It would have been more satisfactory if such situations were governsd by agreement and not by cus- tom. There was always a difficulty in applying a custom to different sets of circumstances to which the parties to the contract were not willing to admit were not governed by the custom. In the case of sentiment-coming, out in the case of a fatal accident—the employers could say, You decided to corns out through sentiment or superstition, and we don't see any reason in paying more than half a day's wages." But in the case of a breakage of machinery the opportunity to work is taken away. He was, however, satisfied that the prevailing custom had t been established by the management.

Similar evidence was given against Buckland in respect of a theft of a mackintosh from a fellow.lodger named Croole. Prisoners were arrested by P.S. Davies at Pontypridd, and in reply to the charge, declared that it was their intention to return the coats to their owners on Saturday. Inspector Williams, Porth, said pri- soners had been employed by the English Record Company and afterwards by the Hygienic Company, but had been dis- charged. He also informed the Bench that Emery had obtained groceries at various shops which had not been paid for. Buckland, who said that his father was in a good position at Morriston, Swansea, said that if he was given time he could obtain sufficient money to redeem the overcoat. The Stipendiary said that both pri- soners had put themselves into an awk- ward position, but he wanted to give them an opportunity to return the goods, and both were remanded in their own recog- nisances to appear at Pontypridd on the following Wednesday.

Alfred Gallagher, Tonyrefail, father of the complainant, and Rachel Ann Thomas, a neighbour, corroborated com- plainant's evidence. For the defence, it was stated that after getting married, defendant lived with his wife in Nantymoel, where he had good work.

He went to see .ter every week, and eventually went to live at Tonyrefail, and he and his wife lived in apartments next dooy to his father-in-law. Rachel Ann Thomas (the third witness), with whom he was in apartments, told him that while he was nt work his wife's family lived on his iarnings. He had told his wife that he was going to Somerset to obtain work there, and before going, asked her several times to go with him, but she-would not. He kept corresponding with her, and told her in one letter that his mother would keep her until he obtained work. Defen- dant denied writing that he would never see her again. He also denied being cruel to her. He was willing to take his wife back and make a comfortable home for her as as he could get a house. Complaiuant would not agree to this. The Bench said that the case of deser- tion was very weak, and the case would be adjourned for three months to enable J he parties to come to a settlement, 'efendant to pay his wife 10s. weekly in the meantime.
