Evidence of the. popularity of Colonel and Mrs. Tu-rbervill was given on their return to Ewenny Priory after twelve months' absence on a tour round the world. To celebrate the home-coming on Wednesday festivities were arranged, in which practically everyone on the estate and in the village participated. A number of tenants met the Colonel and his good lady at Bridgend Railway Station and preceded them on horseback to the Priory gates, where the horses were unharnessed and the carriage drawn by villagers to the Priory. Here the feelings of the parishioners were ex- pressed by the vicar, agent, and others, and all seemed delighted to see Colonel and Mrs. Turbervill back in good health. This wel- come home," the enthusiasm of which a heavy downpour of rain failed to damp, testified to the esteem in which the gsod people of the Priory are held. Though thev have, with unstinted hand, blessed in their absence those whom they are wont to helo when at home, their long absence has been felt, for it has been a personal one +o those on the estate, to the members of various institutions, and to the inmates of the Workhouse and Cottage Homes. Few have a warmer place in the hearts of the people among whom they live than the Turbervill family, who would pro- bably agree that the greatest happiness is in seeking the happiness of others. Either colliery offences are on the increase in Mid-Glamorgan or more vieilence is exer- I cised by colliery officials in tinding them out at any rate, the number of summonses at Bridgend Police-court recently have been larger than usual, and on Saturday last no less than three men were charged with dis- obeying the rules. Two of the cases were of a somewhat unusual nature. In one case an engineman quite unjustifiably deserted his post in a passion,'while in another a haulier was charged with riding on the couplings of what, in colliery parlance, is termed a journey" of trams. This young man really paid the penalty of his foolishness by receiv- ing personal injuries, but the Bench con- sidered this insufficient, and imposed a fine of zC2. The third charge was the common one of sleeping in the mine in charge of a lighted safety lamp. The maximum penalty of £ 2 is generally imposed on offenders against this rule, but it does not prove a suffi- cient deterrent to sleepy colliers. Hence the magistrates have intimated that they will in future consider whether they will not deal with offende-rs by sending them to prison. This may be considered in some quarters a harsh measure, hut it has to be remembered that the lives of many men are endangered by the practice, and it is the duty of èom. panies and magistrates to defend the careful from the careless collier. Discipline in the mine must be maintained in the interests of all parties—including those who would dis- regard it. • The Earl of Plymouth, as lord lieutenant, has now taken the preliminary steps to form a County Military Association, and one speci- ally interested in Volunteers like his Lord- ship may be trusted to bring the Association into being as soon as possible. In a speech at a Church Parade on Sunday, his Lordship expressed the opinion that, strong as the Volunteers in the county are, the Government would expect Glamorgan to raise even a larger body, and at least certain arms of the Forces would be expected to be made stronger. Roughly speaking, the several Volunteer Regiments in the county provide for 7,000 men of all ranks, which is a compar- atively small proportion for a county con- taining nearly a million souls, and when it is stated that many of the units are not up to strength, it will be agreed that there is con- siderable indifference in the county to a national duty. It remains to be -seen whether the new County Association will succeed in bringing home to the men of Glamorgan the importance of military training. Whilst the new Territorial Army is being formed, there are certain to be resignations of Volunteers, and many men will hesitate to take up the obligations which will be imposed on the new force. Therefore considerable propaganda work will have to be carried out by the Asso- ciation in order to induce old hands to re- main and new ones to come in. Another im- portant point to which Lord Plymouth re- ferred was the shortage of officers. It is essential that the commissioned ranks should be filled np if the Association's efforts are to be successful. Probably if officers are forth- coming, in the mining districts in particular, many men will join the ranks. In our own neighbourhood, we have two larsre mining dis- tricts in the Ogmore and Gany Valleys which should be able to maintain at least half a com- pany each were officers forthcoming who would take a thorough interest in their work.

MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEES ORGANISE…
MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEES ORGANISE BRANCH FORMED AT BRIDGEND. A representatiA-e meeting was held at the Old Meeting House, Bridgend, on Tuesday evening to consider the advisability of form- ing a branch of the Municipal Employees' As- sociation for the town -and district. The chair was occupied by Mr. John Lew is. In an opening address, the Chairman said the object of forming a Trade Union WAS a highly desirable one; in every branch of in- dustry it was necessary that the men should organise. Wherever they found unity, there was strength, and the only method by which there could be strength among the workers was through a Trade Union. (Hear, hear.) Councillor W. Llewellyn, i'ort Talbot, or- ganising secretary of the Association, said it was anieasure to him to aee that so manv munic^al employees in Bndgend and dis- trict were anxious to do their duty to them- selves and to their fellows, for it certainlv was their duty to join the ranks of Trade* Lmonism. There was no necessity for him, in these enlightened days. to put forward any arguments in favour of Trades Unionism as a general principle; all right-thinking per- sons agreed now that not only were the I I ades Unions desirable, but necessary, 1 here had some years ago been a branch of the Association in Bridgend, but, for some reason or other, it ceased to exist, hence the necessity to form a new blanch. The Asso- ciation was run on different lines now. and in each district there was an organising secre- tary. AA hose duty it Avas to place grievances before the authorities. It w as strikingly ap- parent that the municipal employees of all the workers should be organised. They had not been recognised as other classes of Avorkers had been--owin.g to the lack of organisation—and taking an a Average, the municipal workers received a very poor wage rate. A section of them had to'face the in- clemency of the Aveather, but all had to face the scowls of the ratepayers, for everv rate- payer considered himself their boss. (Laugh- ter.) The Association, the operations of which were extended to the provinces some- thing like six years ago, had made good pro- gress, though there was still a great propor- tion of the 2,000,000 municipal employees in the United Kingdom who had not joined. The Society was established on a sound, healthy basis, and, apart from the protection it afforded its members, the benefits were numerous, because they made a grant to a member in case of accident, and, if the acci- dent proved fatal, his wife received a substan- tial amount. This position had not been reached without a good deal of sacrifice by some of those who had done the nioneer work, and it was noteworthy that no class of worker had been more neglected, so far as Trades Unionism was concerned, than the municipal employees; consequently, it was all the more difficult to establish a sound Association and to persuade the men to join it. He had confident hop?s, however, that the men would see the adAantages to be derived from mem- bership of the Union, and if they did this generally, their organisation would beeome- the most powerful of ite kino in the Kingdom. What were the particular objects which the Union had in minor1 First ol all. there was security of employment. Workers under District or County Councils were al- ways exposed to the gaze of the public, and oftentimes complaints from one quarter or an- other were made to the authority against their employees, a good many of them un- founded. The workman might find himself dismissed without a chance of defending him- self; this was what had happened in a good many cases. They wanted better hours and better conditions of labour. (Hear, hear.) He belieA-ed the municipal workers worked longer hours than any other class in the king- dom. including the railwavmen. and when en- joying a little leisure, they were always liable to be called upon to go to work. They should not tolerate the present conditions, but if any change was to be effected it must be done- it could only be done, in fact—through au or- ganisation of the men. (Hear, hear.) A Union would be an immense power in their hands; as great a power as it had been to the Miners' Federation of Great Britain. The NoA-ember elections Avere coming on, and he had prepared a number of ouestions to be put to candidates, and lie would read them, be- cause they embodied the aims and objects of the Society:—(1) Are you in favour of a minimum wage of 26s. a week to be paid to all able-bodied Avorkers in the employ of the Corporation (2) Of reducing the hours of all Corporation Avorkers to 48 per Aveek? (3) Of Corporation workmen receiving no less than one week's holiday per annum—with full pay for that period—in addition to the ordin- ary public holidays now granted? (4) Of half-Avages being paid to all municipal em- ployees during illness? (5) Of municipal Avorkers having the right to appeal to the committee which controls them before being dismissed or severely punished; (G) of the- employees having the right to be represented by an officer of their Association in all mat- ters concerning their employment? Surely. the speaker proceeded, there was nothing ir- rational or unreasonable in a demand of that kind. (Hear. hear.) The raihvaymen were at present in their position, but then the rail- wavmen had to deal with railway directors, who were not men but the next thing to it in the evolution of life. 'Laughter.) If they did not give way. Parliament should force them to, and if Parliament did not do its duty. then Parliament should be forced, and the railways made a national concern". (Hear. hear.) As long. however, as the Cor- porations, County councils. District Councils, etc., would be fair, the workers would not make a row, but let them become unreason- able. and there would be something more than the beating of a his orum. (Laughter and applause.) Some of the Councillors were a nice lot, and did not hesitate to look after their own interests. But. then, that was what a 'good many of them were there for. (Laughter.) It would not do for them to lose sight of their own interests, even if the employees had to go down. The speaker then dealt with the Compensation Act, and said a Union was absolutrty necessary in order to meet the tricks of the Insurance Companies. In the case of a non-Society nun. the Com- pany rushed the ca«e into court, knowing that the man himself was too poor to meet them there. Several questions were put to the sneaker and answered, and it was then decided to form a branch at Bridcrend. a large number, of members being enrolled.
