GEIRSONYOD EDUCATION COMMITTEE. A meeting of this Committee was held at Bettwsycoed 011 Monday, the members pres- ent being Mr B. Fisher (vioe-chairman), presiding, Mrs Ockleston (Trefriw), Mrs R. Parry (Bettwsycoed), Messrs.. P. Mclntyre, Ellis Pierce, R. E. Thomas, H. H. Roberts, H. Roberts (Talybont), Henry Roberts (Bett wsycoed), and H. Hughes (Penmachno), with the clerk (Mr E. R. Davies), and the attendance officer (Mr T. Parry). John Roberts. Bwlch Maen, Penmachno, was put on the list of candidates for pro- bation on the proposition of Mr Eliis Pieroe, seconded by Mr R. E. Thomas. Only one tender was received for the supply of coal to the schools in the district —that of Messrs. O. Evans a.nd Sons, Car- narvon—and this was accepted. Tho cleaner of the above school wrote ask- ing for £6 for cleaning the school, but the Committeei felt that JC4 per (annum was quite sufficient. A complaint was made by R. Williams, Tyddyn Baoh, LLanbedr, through the Edu- cation Authority, tliat his boy had boo 11 id- treated by the master, and asking for per- mission to remove the boy to the Talybont school. The master wrote explaining the circumstances, arid it was decided to leave the matter in abeyance.

"You have looked upon my face for the last time," he resolutely declared, as he put on his hat. "What are you troing to do' she criOti- "grow a boajrd?"

Heated Scenes at Railway- men's Conference. THE ATTACK ON MR BELL. HE REFUSES TO JOIN THE SOCIALISTS. MR PHLIP SNOWDEN'S INCOME. Mr Richard Bell, M.P., was the central figure of the heated proceedings on Tuesday at the conference of the Amalgamated So- ciety of Railway Servants, which is being held this week at Cardiff. The questions of Labour representation and the position of the general secretary were discussed at great length on an amend- ment to the rules brought forward by the Executive Committee that— All candidates shall sign and accept the conditions of the Labour Party, and bo subject to their Whip. Mr Bell said that in order to give the congress "a little encjurageirnent" he would at onoe ogpose the proposition. It was a denarture irom the rules of their organisa- tion, and was not a matter of urgencv at all. "I can," went on Mr "only come to one conclusion. We had only one represen- tative in Parliament before the last elec- tion when we succeeded in getting others elected. Now they think they can dispose of the old war horse a.nd throw him on the scrap heap" (loud shouts of dissent and some cheers). Mr Emblem (reprceentine the Executive Committee) said the- only reason why the committee advocated this alteration was because they believed in the motto, "United we stand, divided we fall." They had no thought of spite p.gainst tho ^eneral secre- tary—(dicers)—but they had conic to the conclusion that there was 110 remedy for the workers outside the ranks of Independ- ent Labour (hear, hear). Mr Knight (Radc'iiffe) was snrry Mr Bell had introduced the personal element- It was not a question of person, but of prin- ciple (hear, hoar). There was no earthly reason why Mr Bell should not sign the constitution. Mr White (Sandiaere): Mr Bell talks about us putting him on the scrr.p-li^a.p, Tliat statement is not founded 011 fact, and I repudiate idea that we are animated any antagonism to the general secretary (chaers). "DON'T CARE" FOR DERBY. Mr Hales (King's Cross): Wh- this set against Mr Bell? Has he dene anything wrong or detrimental to the Labour move- ment (cheers and cries of "Nobody said he did"). Besides, we have to consider his constituents at Derby. ("No. no," inter- ruption, and shouts of "Stick to the point.") What do you think the Derby people will (A voice: "\Ve don't care for Darby.") oaro" are very bad and wicked words (laughter). Mr Jackson (with emphasis): Let's rnako Bell Sign the constitution or get out of the way. oh," and groans.) Mr Trowey (Birmingham): These Social- ists are young men in a hurry (cheers and la.uq-hter). I appeal to you, Mr Chairman (Mr Palin) not to put the black cap on to hang Mr Bell (great hilarity). You want to do what the party did to Daniel —vou want to kin the best man you "have got (shouts of "Nonsenso"). Mr Carter (Kentish Town's said workers like Mr Bell and others had done the real work of the labour movement. Burns had done more for the workers t! an any other half-dozen men (cheers). £ >e Socialists were the moat selfish body of men. (Up- roar, and shouts of "What auout personali- ties ? ") The Ch airman I hope you will reco lact that abuse is not argument (cheers). A Delegate. If you are asking; for trouble, Carter, you can have it (hear. hear). Mr Pocock (Battorsea): The Trade Dis- putes Bill has only been got through by the pressure of the thirty-three Independent Labour men in the House of Commons. (A voice: "All rot," and booing.) The Chairman Y 011 who are not speaking are simply booing and hooting, and not let- ting anybody else be heard. I don t. tliink it is very creditable to vou (cheering). A REJECTED DEMAND. The proposition was then put to the meet- ing. and carried by thirty-seven votes to twenty-two. The Congress then went on to the con- sideration of a motion from Leeds and six other branches appealing to the Congress-- To call upon the genera] secretary to join the Labour Party in the House of Commons, and sign the constitution of that body. That proposition having been moved, Mr Bell said To quote the words of Mr Ramsay Macdonald, "No colour of mine will go down until the row is over." Those are my sentiments (a laugh, and cheers). I have come to the conclusion that this action towards me is nothing more than the So- sialistic persecution oi a man who refuses to swallow their doctrines. (Dissent, and a cry, "That's just it.") It is so. You do net attempt to coerce me, but have you not just decided to adopt coercive mea- sures? I suppose you think you are going to gull intelligent workmen throughout the country, all of whom have not yet swallowed the Socialist pill (disorder). You have en- deavoured to get me to sign your constitu- tion by the alteration you have made in the rules. That's the freedom and liberty of Socialism (hisses in the gallery). 1 hope, Mr Chairman, you will not allow those in- terruptions in the gallery (hear, hear). A Delegate: Quite right; have the gallery cleared (cheers). Another Delegate: Birmingham again (laughter). Mr Bell said he wanted genuine, bona-fide representation, and not sham and hypo- critical representation (cheers and loud shouts of disapproval). In further denunciation of the former action of the present members of the Labour Party, Mr Bell said he went to Wakefield to help Mr Philip Snowden. When he contested that constituency he tock gold down and it was not rejected, although it was known that he collected it from twenty- four members of the House of Commons, who signed a letter asking for support for Mr Snowden. (Suppressed excitement.) Then the Yellow Press were accused of. slandering the Labour Party, but. nothing could exceed the 'Clarion," "Labour Leader," and some of the other Labour journals, for lying and misleading (Oh, oh). Mr John Burns was attacked by members of the party, and the greatest charge againut him was that he accepted £2000 a vear. Mr Halls (Leicester): Burns has not been attacked. Are we obliged to have our time wasted in this wnv, when we want to get to business? (much cheering). SLAUGHTER AFTER WARDS. The Chairman: I am prepared, when free, to pulverise Mr Bell 011 everyone of these points he is mentioning (laughter). You had better let him go on in his own way, and then slaughter him afterwards (laughter and more cheers). Mr Bell (proceeding): Whilst poor old Burns has been "copping" it because he receives £2000 a year, 'you get Mr Philip Snowden, who, as far as Parliamentary duties are concerned, is not much in the House, writing for newspapers, from which he derives from £1500 to £2000 a vear (laughter). You may laugh, but Mr Snow- den writes for at least twenty-five news- papers every week—two of them dailies, and yet you go for Mr Burns, whilst some of I you when there's a bit of brass about don't mind it yourselves (angry shouts of dissent and great cheering). "I think the working classes of the country are being deliberately deluded by tlie repre- sentations of the Labour Party (Oh, c-h). Some day all this bluff will be found out, and the reaction will be considerably greater than it was before" (howls of dissent and shouts of "Sit down"). "Again, the members of the Labour Party were to have gone to the Colonies during the recess, but it was found that the short- ness of the recess prevented it, but Mr Ra msay Macdonald had gone because he was under contract to go for two Liberal news- papers to write articles for them (cries of "What papers?" "Name them"). Well, Wite to the editors of "The Daily Chronicle" and the "Manchester Guardian," and they will, no doubt, let you know I whether my statement is correct or whether it is not the fact. Tho hands of the trade unionists of the country were being forced 1 in order that Trade Union funds should go to the maintenance of those who belonged to a political party (cheers and a shout "Rats. Pretty strong"). Trade Unionists could work with any political party that was willing to help them, but to try to amalgamate a Socialist organisation and a Tnade Union was just like trying to mix oil and water (cheers). Moreover he had some regard for character, and all of those the congress had decided he should associate with were not of the purest character ("Oh, oh"). If it was to be the policy of the Labour Party to persecute, tyrannise and coerce all these who would not swallow their dogmas depend upon it there would be a reduction as surely as they were pursuing such a policy (cheers). He knew the majority of the members of the society, and if the Executive Committee had the courage of their action, he invited them to take a ballot and let the matter be settled for ever (cheers). Mr Halls (Leicester) said he gave "the lie direct" to an accusation Mr Bell had made against him that he had not always put first the interests of the society. The Chairman I do not think we can fight out now tho statements which Mr Bell has made. If what he says is true the Labour movement will have to be purge-d. There are sufficient honest men in the move- ment to see th.at that is done, or that Mr Bell eats his words (cheers). Mr Hudson, M.P., said some of the state- ments made by Mr Bell were not true. The resolution was then put to the meet- ing, and defeated by forty-three votes to five. Immediately afterwards the congrecs adjourned till the-following day.

THE FUNERAL OF ARCHDEACON WILLIAMS. The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon, aiiikl general manifestations of mourning, blinds a.t. all the houses in the viihge king drawn. The interment took plaeo in the little churcihj'ard of Li&n.ystumdwy Parish Church, in tne presence of an assemblage representative of all classce, institutions and sects, drawn from far and near. twas not an exceptionally large funeral as pub- lic obsequies go, but its composition evidenced in a most eloquent manner the hold which the archdeacon had upon th« community at large. The cream of the aristocracy of tho neighbour- hood was in attendance, as well as the poorest of the jhoor, and Nonconformity was repre- sented, not only by many deacons, but by ;.ta ministers. The weather was decidedly unfa- vourable, but the little church was overfilled, :nd scores of those present were standing. The short. &»rviccs at the Rectory was conducted by t-no lkw. G. F.

Bart., a.nd Miss Elhs Nanney weTe waiting for the funeral cortege near the entrance to the lyoh gate. The mournoirs wore Mrs Williams and family, and Mr Joseph Glynn, Liverpool (son in-law). The coffin. which was of polished oak with plain brass mountings, bore the inscription. "Thomas Williams, priest., born August 9. 1851; died S- ipi, 29. 1906. R.I.P." Thft be^r.ers were the churchwardens and sidesmen of I/hi.n- ystumdwy Church, who walked immediately b**hkid the hearso carrying a. number of beauti- fu! wreaths and crosses. The funoraJ was meti at the church gate by tho clergy, and as the procession wended its way to the sacred edifice tho Rev. J. J.

CONWAY PROVSDED SCHOOLS. SCHOLARS' EXTRA HOLIDAYS. A meeting of the managers of provided schools in the Conway district was held at the Lkindudno Junction County fcchool on Monday, Mr Hugh Owen press ding. Mifs Sarah E. Williams. Blaenau School, was apixxinted, out of four applicants, an Article £ 0 teacher at tlie Llandudno Junction Sohool. The Clerk (Mr E. R. Davies) stated that he had received a. letter from the School Attend- ance Officer. Mr J. n. Jones, ye par ting that m September. 24t.h he obeorved a motor-launch paesmir undcir the On way bridge. It was full of children who should have teen attending tlie Lloyd-strvet School. The Rev. J. Ray- meed, English Baptist minister, was also on board, end appeared to be taking h:« Sunday School children ..0 to Trefriw. The officer a!^o rejKU'tod that Mr Thomas. head m3<ót,cr of the Lloyd-street School, fea.red that a large number of children might be alvsent on edresday, whoa the Llandudno tradesman's annual holi- day would take pirce. Mr Hugh Hughes, Conway. said he oould quito understand children being taken up Con- way river for the fresh air, ;mt lie could not Lv.wlerstauid tho closing of the eehool at three o'efeek that very day, so that he children could attend a circus. Mr Robc:rt Roberts sa.id the matter had occupied the serious attention oi tae Education Authority. Some means should be aeonted to keep the holidays within tho limit. If there wore to be these occasional Jay holiday. the summer vacati-cn would have to be reduced poD:rtic.:1G.tely The Attendance Olncer said another daffictdty at Llamd.udno that, parents who had been busy all the soaseni daring long vacation I went for their holidays afterwards and took all their families with them. Mr E. R. Davies suggested that a letter be written to tho minister of tach church and chapel in the cistrict, and a,1,) to all tlie head teachers, informing them that if occasional holidays continued to be given, the District C-immitteo would be bound to curtail the holi- days at Christmas and Easter. On tho motion of Mr John Owen that eource was adopted.

COLWYN BAY Y.M.C.A. ANNUAL MEET!NG. Mr R. R. Phillips, chairman of the com- mittee, presided on Friday at the annual meeting of the members of the Colwyn Bay Y.M.C.A. LAST YEAR'S WORK. The Chairman briefly summarised the work of the past year, and said he trusted each member would do his utmost to for- ward the interests of the Association. Re- sidents had to some extent supported the work, but it was felt that if the number of subscribers were increased it would materially lighten the burden in some quarters. The basis of the Association was such that practically every resident could render assistance. It was the only common ground where Christian men of whatever denomination could meet, and as such it should be generously and systematically sup- ported. The president had most liberally contributed to the funds, and it was through his generosity that. it was possible to pre- sent a satisfactory balance-sheet. The general secretary also gave a report of the year's work, and outlined the pro- gramme for the coming winter. Several lectures, debates, and addresses had been arranged for, among those to be announced for the next two months being the debate on "Military Training in Schools," the lecture on "X-Ravs" by Dr. Nuttall, and the address on Some aspects of citizenship" by Mr Fred. Griffiths. ELECTION OF OFFICERS. Rev. J. G. Haworth was unanimously re- elected president, and the vice-presidents were also re-elected. Some sixteen nominations for tho eight vacancies on committee having been entered, it was necessary to elect the eight required by ba1]oL The committee as it now stands is comorised of the following: —Mr S. Jones (chairman), Mr J. W. Adam- son (vice-chairman), Messrs A. E. Alley, T. Brack stone, D. Greenfield, E. R. Gibbons, R. Jackson, Rowland Jones, Evan Owen, Yv. H. Prichard, A.J. Parsonage. R. D. Picker- ing, R. R. Phillips, A. H. Summers, and W. H. Wichelhaus. THE ANNUAL GATHERING. Members were urged to attend the annual public gathering on Thursday, October .1-w. This public meeting affords a splendid opportunity for residents to gauge the vaaie of the work of the Y.M.C.A., and to mark their appreciation of the committee's efforts to care for the welfare of the young men of Colwyn Bay.

CORRESPONDENCE. CA KNA K VONSHIRE EDUCATION COMMITTEE AND THE TEACHERS. (To the Editor of the "Pioneer"). Sir,—The Carnarvonshire Education Com- mittee have at their meeting last week brought all their teachers to a crisis. Tiey have served every teacher wit'1 a three months' notice, assistants and head teachers alike, though their agreement with inst- ants is only subject to six weeks' n.><ice. From what I can gather there is nothing in these notices about re-appointment. Naturally the teachers are very anxious on the point whether this notice is valid, and if the county authority wro to act in a drastic manner, would this n>t'cJ be sufficient to terminate their engagement? On the other hand, if it is sufEci nit. the authority may find that the teacher> have accepted these notices, and in the :ne n- time secured other posts, so that M»veiul of the Carnarvonshire schoo's at the I e- gilining of the year may bo without any teachers to carry them on. I think it is rather unfair the hard- working teachers in Church Schools to le deprived of part of their income on then- carrying out their agreements with their old managers. In the foundation mr.nagers they have found firm and steadfast friends —men who have stcod by them in all their difficulties—and to expect the teachers to turn their backs upon their old friends would be tco much, and I believe the Church teachers will be true to themselves, and will remain loyal to their principles and re- ligion. It would have been well had the committee taken the advice of Mr Davics, and paused before taking such a sweeping step. Tho teachers were before in the firing line, but now they have become the target.—I am. etc., FAIR PLAY.

-4- HOSPITAL CONCERT AT COLWYN BA Y. (fo the Editor of the "Pioneer"). Sir, — Colwyn Bay is becoming quite famous. Its growth has been wonderful, but it surpassed itself Last week by the extra- ordinary sum realised by the hospital concert. The ordinary programmes brought- in about £G, but the half-dozen which Madam Rivicre had printed on silk as souveners were sold by auction for £10 odd. This indeed must be a record. The concert was indeed a great r-uccets notwith- standing the several difficulties with which Madam Riviere had to contend and which she surmounted in her usual tactfuJ wav. and the conceit stands out as a record with the total contribution to the credit of the hospital standing at about £225. A truly handsome sum. The only discordant features during the afternoon's entertainment were the noises created all the railway, and to make matters as bad as possible in that respect tho windows of the ball facing the station were opened wide, and I took it upun myself to speak to the attendant about it. I venture to think that if Mr Lye 11 Taylor had boon conducting he would never have allowed them to bo open for the noise com- pletely spoiled the first part of the con- cert. It is a great pity that such a beautifully pleasant concert hall should be so seriously affected by the noises fnltm the railway. The owners were not fortunate in their choice of the site. The original site selected I was near the Colwyn Bay Hotel, which would be a much better position, and would have provided for Rhos, which in the near future will have to be considered. The directors tell me that when the new station is built the nuisance will be very much reduced by a large retaining wall which is to be built along the seaward side cf the station. No doubt this will stop some of the shrill noises which cause so much annoyance, but will it not also be a serious eyesore and stop the pleasant glimpse the visitors now get over the woods? All these features should be considered before it Is tco late—I am, etc., W. F LLOYD. Old Colwyn. 2nd October. 1906.

ADVICE TO MOTHERS. A Warning for thasc Cold Days. Every mother knows the folly of delay where sickness among her children is con- cerned. The invention of Peps has brought a valuable remedy within reach of the most modest home, and by always having a box handy in this cold and changeful weather, parents may save themselves time, worry, and expense- Children arc very susceptible to colds, and should be carefully guarded. It is the croupv child, the child with the nasty bronchial cough, who suffers in later years from some neglected weakness of babyhood. "Just the usual cold," and "o:ilv that old cough," are expressions that indicate tlio disdain in which these common ailments are. sometimes held. But if a list couiid be printed of all the deaths from consumption. pneumonia, bronchitis, pleurisy, lung in- flammation, and other diseases directly as- sociated with cougiis and colds, there would be more alarm than disdain. A golden rule is never to neglect the first sign of a odd or cough, and mothers should acquaint them solves with the Peps treat- ment, which is as unique as it is p'easant, and as sure as it is scientific. It consists in dissolving a novel and agreeablo little tablet- on the tongue, and breathing into the throat and lungs the wonderful healing and soothing, fumes that are released. One thing is achieved which no "cough-mixture" "bronchitis-cure," or "oold-lozence" (which is merely swallowed into the stomach) can justly profess to do—and that is, Peps bring a powerful and natural! medicine into direct contact with tho actual tissues of the lungs and fine air-passages, when these, and not the stomaoh, are the seat of disease. Because of their potency, puritv and pleas- ant taste, Peps are verv well adapted for ail- ments peculiar to children. They thorough- ly disinfect tho mouth and nasal organs, they end all harmful germ-life and clear the throat when breathing is heavy or im- peded. It. does the luiifc good to bathe them in the fumes from a dissolving Pep, and the fine bronchiaJ tubes are healed by thorn when made sore by incessant coughing. In casos of bronchitis, cold, croup, whoop- ing cough. laryngitis, lung inflammation. Pew are pleasantly efficacious. Of all chemists. or direct, from the sole proprietors, t.he Peps Pastille Co..
