I OFI=tenicre Police Coupt. Monday.-Before the Stipendiary (Mr. Arthur Lewis). Alderman Richard Lewis, Messrs. T. P. Jenkins J. D. Williams, W. T. Jones and Enoch Davies. TEMPORARY TRANSFERS. Temporary transfer of the license of the Castle Hotel, Treherbert, from Thomas Newbury, the present tenant, to W. W. Griffiths, Cardiff, was granted. W. M. Morgan, son-in-law of the deceased licensee (Mrs. Rees) of the Butcher's Arms, Penygraig, was also granted a temporary license in respect to that house. Mr. W. P. Nicholas, Pontypridd, ap- peared for the applicants. TRESPASSING ON THE T.V.R. Nine collier-boys were summoned for trespassing on the Taff Vale Railway at Pontrhondda on Friday, 10th April. P.S. Baker, who gave evidence, said that this part of the railway was frequently used by boys in making a short cut to the Pontrhondda Recreation Ground. Mr. Cyril Thomson (of Messrs. Ingle- dew, Cardiff) appeared to prosecute for the company. One of the boys was fined 2s. 6d., whilst the others had to pay 5s. each AS GOOD AS ANY SOLDIER. Richard Evans, the licensee of the Crown Hotel, Ynyswen Road, Treorchy, was summoned for permitting drunken- ness. Mr. W. P. Nicholas defended. P.S. Harris said that in company with P.O. Phillips he visited the hotel on the afternoon of 4th April. In the bar he caw a mason, named J. Pugh, residing at :26, Dunraven Street, Treorchy. Pugh was asleep, with his hands in his pocket, ] and his head leaning forward on his chest. 1 When the landlord's attention was called ] :o Pugh's condition, the latter was turned ( nit. The defendant said that he had been 1 lown in the cellar, and could not say how I ong Pugh had been in the house, and ( vhether he had been served or not. i The defendant, on oath, said that he ] vas only in the cellar for two or three I uiuutps. Pugh was not in the bar when t ie (witness) went to the cellar, and when c vitness' attention was called to him he i vas turned out. It was a rather busy -v lay, and witness had taken every pro- i laut-ion to see that no drunken men were s >n the premises. c William Lewis, another witness, said 1 hat Pugh was as capable of defending t limself in a walk as good as any soldier loud laughter). t A fine of £1 and costs was imposed. 1 AN ERROR OF JUDGMENT. a William Williams, William David Wil- ? iams, and Charles Turner, workmen em- iloved at the Pentre Colliery (Cory Bros. b .Ilcl Co., Ltd.), were summoned for un- t amming a shot-hole, contrary to the (1 lines Regulation Act. Mr. W. Kenshole ri ppeared for the prosecution, and Mr, V. P. Nicholas defended. 0 Mr. Kenshole said that the three defen- a ants were employed in a hard heading. )n Saturday evening, three shots were 0 red at this place. On the following vening, whilst boring a hole, a shot went ■ff. causing injury to William David Villiams. f For the defence, Mr. Nicholas submit- ed that there had been an error of judg- 11 lent, a view which the Bench accepted. William David Williams and Tanner P ere fined 10s. each, whilst the charge gainst William Williams was dismissed. w w

Rhondda iVjiiiers' Meeting i Mr. D. Watts Morgan on Eight Hours Shifts. Mr. J. Jones, Ynysfeio presided at the monthly meeting of the Rhondda miners held at Porth on Saturday. The atten- dance included Messrs. W. Abraham (Mabon), M.P., D. Watts Morgan (agent and general secretary), and Tom Evans (sub-agent). Dealing with the Mines Eight Hours] Bill, Mr. D. Watts Morgan said that he 1 was astonished at the nature of the oppo- ] rition and the claim made by colliery managers that they were in closer con- 1 bact with the men than the miners' < leaders and knew that there was no iesue for the limitation of hours. Duririo- ,he past year he had visited over 100 cot ieries, and was thus able to speak from jbservations made on the spot. There vas no greater bogey raised against the Lai than that the officials would have ess control and would be hampered in heir work of keeping the mine in a safe ;ondition. Such a statement was border- ng upon libel and slander on the firemen, wio, as a rule, were a very capable and useful body of men (hear^ hear). At pre- c ent they worked a short day on Satur- S lav, and he challenged his friend Mr. Williams, Cymmer, to contradict that hey raised more coal per hour on Satur- 1 lay than they di on tliu other days of t he week (applause). He knew of col- ieries in the Rhondda where they raised JI s much coal on Saturdays as they did t n Mondays or Tuesdays. Did that point 1 o greater or less control? How was it ? he work was not dislocated by the shorter 1\ iours on this day? (Hear, hear). Were he accidents more numerous on Satur- t. lays than the first five days of the week? c "iiey ought to be, according to the logic 1] f the opponents of the Bill. The firemen d t the Lewis-Merthyr Collieries only c worked eight hours per day, and they had n nly one fatal accident in five years, and a corresponding decrease in non-fatal acci- F ents. Alluding to the assertion made of r, iminished output, Mr. Morgan said that ° n advance copy of a Government report e >r 1907 showed the record increase of E early 17 million tons. The owners' case n 'as a weak one on the question of out- 0 ut, and weaker still if they were going 3 rely on profits. Enormous fortunes 'ere made out of the coal trade, and it 'as a, matter of common knowledge that 3n large firms in South Wales had made y tifficient profits- in the last ten years that they chose they could have repaid the 'hole of the capital raised when com- anies were formed. That should not be anfused with dividends paid—he was T liking of the gross profits made in w •ading. Mr. Morgan further repudiated di 18 suggestion that the demand for an a ght hours day had come from the leaders 01 rid not the men, and added that it was la roposed to issue a booklet to the miners M iving a tabulated statement, as far as ci Dssible. of the balance sheets of the a1 irious colliery companies, with a view showing the profits which these com- di mies were now making (hear, hear). w< The scheme for the insurance of check- la eighers, sub-checkweighers, and colliery R. aminers in the district was agreed to, by Le cost being put at £ 139, as against pr 240 if the various lodges insured sepa- of tely. Oil It was stated by a delegate that the ar isition with regard to non-Unionists in w( e collieries was as bad as it was three III ars ago owing to an -influx of these men ini bo the district. Mr. Watts Morgan said lai e Exiecutive had been hampered owing tr; the neglect of secretaries in not fur- Tl: ihing the general secretary with the 14 burns of the show cards which had re] en held at the collieries. He thought kn e most effective way of dealing with me e difficulty was to revert to the old thl ithod of fighting colliery by colliery. W, The results of the final ballots for the election of financial secretary and trea- surer were declared by Mr. Watts Mor- gan as follows —Financial secretary, Mr. W. H. Morgan, Treherbert, 14,940; Mr. J. H. Lewis, Cymmer, 11,806; majority, 3,134. Treasurer—Mr. John Jones, Cwm- pare, 14,434; Mr. John Hughes, Cymmer, 12,666; majority, 1,768. Messrs. Jones and Morgan were unanimously elected to bhe respective posts. There were 10 candidates for the posi- tion of trustee, rendered vacant by the resignation of Mr. John Kemp. The final vote was between Mr. John Morgan, Mardy, who received 17,400 votes, and Alderman J. Morgan Williams, Porth, who received 7,450. The former was elected.

Miners' Federation. LR,C, Ballot.. The Non-Unionist Question, The Executive Council of the South (Vales Miners' Federation met at Oardiff 1 in Monday. Mr. W. Abraham (Mabon), i &.P., presided, and the attendance in- ] iluded Mr. W. Brace, M.P., vice-presi- ( [ent; Mr. A. Onions, treasurer; and Mr. ] ?. Richards, M.P., general secretary. In regard to the L.R.C. ballot, it was esolved that the expenses incurred in i aking the ballot next week—on the ques- ion whether or not the Federation shall oin the Labour Representation Commit- ( ee-be paid from the central funds. The t esults of the ballot must reach the ] :eneral secretary (Mr. Thomas Richards, l.P.) on or before May 13th. I The Council having carefully considered he question of non-Unionists, a small per- 1 entage of which are found in the col- eries, passed a resolution requesting the istricts to continue the general show- ards every two months, and make the ) ecessary arrangements for ensuring that 11 colliery workmen are members of the c 'ederation. It was resolved also that f eturns be sent to the general secretary f the membership of each lodge at the y nd of June next, in accordance with c !,ule 59, which also provides that every a lember of the Federation shall be clear n the books at the end of June and •ecember in each year.

I Sunday Newspapers, t Vhat is "Street Trading "i? f Test Case at Ystrad. a An important test case was heard at on-Pentre Police Court on Monday, in hich Reginald Besant, newsagent, Car- iff, was charged with having employed certain person under 16 years of age i Sunday in contravention of the bye- ,ws of the Rhondda, District Council. a r. W. P. Nicholas appeared to prose- cl ite, and Mr. Lewis Morgan, Cardiff, )peared for defendant. a Mr. Nicholas said that under the Chil- (] ■en's Employment Act, 1903, local bodies are given certain powers to make bye- ws. In pursuance of these powers, the I hondda Urban District Council made a ( 'e-law, the second paragraph of which fl. ovid'ed that No person under 16 years A age shall be engaged in street trading e1 l Sunday." The two questions which ose from this, added Mr. Nicholas, 111 ire (1) Whether there was in fact em- 'jymeat so as to come within the mean- g< ? of the Act of Parliament and the bye- fV; and (2) whether there was street iding within the meaning of the Act. le facts were these A lad named Evans, years of age, had obtained a certain d putation as a vendor of newspapers, and at owing this, Mr. Besant, the defendant, la tde an agreement with the fiather that ri: a lad should deliver the News of the Li orld on Sundays. The boy had been b2 seen by the police delivering the news- paper at certain doors in the neighbour- hood, and the point was whether the delivery of the newspapers was street trading within the meaning of the Act. Milk and Newspapers Exempted. Mr. Nicholas quoted various authori- ties as to the meaning of the word trading," and addressed the Bench at some length on the point. The Stipendiary Supposing a dairyman enters into a contract to deliver milk at í certain houses, would that constitute "trading" under the Act? < Mr. Nicholas: Yes, sir. i Mr. Lewis Morgan: The Royal Com- mission sitting upon this question some time ago, recommended that milk and 1 newspapers should be exempted. Mr. T. P. Jenkins asked whether the q delivering of letters on Sundays consti- I tuted trading, to which Mr. Nicholas re- plied that if he had to take that up he would have to prosecute the Crown. The Stipendiary: You would have something to go on with then (laughter). Mr. Nicholas submitted that the boy was engaged in carrying out part of the trading transaction, although he took no money, and that the mere mechanical lelivery of the paper for his employer's profit was breach of the bye-law. Sticky back's Shop." Thomas John Evans, a bright-looking j ad, said that he delivered the News of ] ;he World to certain customtrs in Llew- « illyn Street, Pentre. In reply to Mr. Nicholas, witness said jhat these customers were The Sticky- Jacks" and The Barber." Mr. Nicholas; I'm afraid that Sticky- )ack's shop would hardly do to quote n a test case (laughter). Mr. Morgan, for the defence, said that he sole question they had to decide was j vhether delivery was street trading | vithin the meaning of the Act. Mr. Nicholas had given a certain definition if the 'words, street trading," but he svidently forgot that the Home Secretary j lad given a different meaning to these | vords. If street trading meant delivery f newspapers, it would say so in the Act, { md if it meant delivery, no person in Jiy trade whatsoever could deliver any- hing. The delivery of newspapers could iot possibly come within the meaning of Lawking. "Hawking" meant out-crying 11 the street, and the definition given by he Oxford Dictionary was, To carry J -bout from street to street, and to offer or sale-to cry in the street." Mr. Nicholas also addressed the Bench, nd the case was adjourned sine die. — — c

Peculiar American Plant. CURES COUGHS AND CHEST TROUBLES. The extraordinary healing properties of little-known American plant used in the imposition of Veno's Lightning Cough !ure, are testified to by the well-known nalyst, W. Lascelles-Scott, F.S.Sc. ond.), who says: Veno's Lightning Cough Cure appears ) owe its remarkable effectiveness, accord- 19 to my analytical results, mainly to the )int action of certain salines and the uid extract of a peculiar and little-known merican plant. With this latter, how- fer, I happen to be acquainted, and I sgard the combination referred to as a )vel and ingenious one." Veno's Lightning Cough Cure can be )t for 9td., i/li, and 2/9, at all chemists.
