Rhys) hekl an inquest at Clydach Vale Workmen's Institute on June 30ith, on Richard Hughes, a local collier, who succumbed on Tuesday to internal injuries sustained through falling dowii the moun- tain side in the dark on the previous Saturday night. It transpired that deceased alrd his companion, Wm. Michael, left Gilfach Goeh, where they worked, shortly after 11 oclock to cross the mountain to Clydach Vale. I pon reaching the Clydach Vale side there was some talk as to the best way to proceed, and they separated, Michael eventually reaching his home in safety. Hughes, however, lost his Wa;vv and when he. reached his lodgings at 3 cf'clock in the xporniiig he was bleeding pro- fusely from cuts in the head, and complained that he had fallen down a quarry near the Cambrian Colliery. A verdict of Accidental death" was returned, with a recommendation by a juryman that the attention of the inspec- by a juryman that the attention of the inspec- tor of factories be culled to the dangerous un- fenced quarries in the Rhondda. Mr. Rhys said he would write both to the inspector of factories and the inspector of mines on the matter. Strange to say. the factory inspec- tors were only responsible for quarries 30 feet high, and over this height the mines in- sepectors took charge. Such an arrange- ment, in his opinion, was ridiculous, and he was of the opinion that the police ought to look alter them. t POLICE SFHGK\ T'S STRUGGLE. Two labourers from Penygraig. named John Hayes and Francis Thomas, were charged at Pontypridd on June 30th, with being drunk and disorderly at Gilfach Goeh. and also with assaulting P.S. J. George, of Gilfach Goeh. The officer stated that at midnight on Sat- urday lie saw defendants, accompanied by the other men, all very drunk. He had previ- ously received complaints that these men were challenging any man in Gilfach to fight. When requested to go away, Hayes remarked, I won't go for any slop: I will murder you first." Witness warned Hayes that lie would be taken to the Police Station unless he desisted, and Thomas interfered, stating that witness should" not take his mate." While witness was dealing with Thomas, Hayes jumped on his back, held him by the throat, kicked him. and at the same time Thomas was striking him in front, and shouting, "Stick to him. Gloster: wp will murder the Thomas put his hand in his breast pocket, and someone in the crowd shouted, "He has got a knife, in his hand: lie is going to murder yen. A .civilian took Thomas, who said, Why didn't I vou let me go: I would have killed liitn." Witness added that s.'iice the affair lie had been unable to swallow anything, or to go on duty, having received internal injury. On searching Thomas's pockets later, witness found two long-bladed knives (produced), and when he found these, the defendant smd. One of them was meant for you. you Witness had never before in his life had to deal with two such blackguards. Haves contended that he had not assaulted the officer, hut that the latter struck him twice with his staff. Sergt. George admitted using the staff, but onlv wdien ho was hound to. Thomas said the only thing he remembered v, as I]-ol)ped by the officer's staff." Against Thomas there was a long list of convictions, and he was sent to prison for three months. Hayes had no record against him. and was filled 20s., or 14 days.

i I OGNORE YALE CHILDREN'S CHOIR. -L--

OGMORE YALE CHILDREN'S CHOIR The Ogniore Yale Children's Choiif has | again added to its laurels by capturing the first prize at KJenfig Hill. The career of this: choir, under tie baton of Mr. W. H. Capel. has been rema^sable. The first prize was won at the following Eisteddfodau — Nantymoel. Tonyrefail. Tofcdu, Brynmenin. Briton Ferry.. Port Talbot. Neath Abbey, Nantymoel, Og- more Vale. Garw, Bridgend, Port Talbot, i Kenfig Hill. Garw, Glynogwr. Bndgrcid, Kc i- t fig Hill, Bridgend, < Cardiff S em ^.National, | New port >~e\v, oft SéF:i- t N ationa 1. 1 e < and prfce i a -L'c was t ii- a at Aberavoii. Skewen. | Llandyssul, and Bridgend. The conduct ar has also won his sharp of tho trophies usually awarded the conductor of the successful eholr at eisteddfodau. He has secur« d •> gold medals. 4 half gold, and one silver medal. 4 silver-mounted batons, 1 umbrella., 2 certifi- cates of-merit at Senii-Nnf jo rials, 3. chairs,. 2 silver cups, and a two guinea clo-k s<t. Un- doubtedly this is a remarkable let. and v. e have no (loulit will be soon increased by a National win. Mr. Capel. the conductor of the choir, w;; born at Aberavon.Vnd removed with his par- ents to Ogmore Yale when lie was eleven vears old. His father was musically in- clined, and was appointed conductor of the Primitive Methodist Church Choir, while Ue subject of our sketch became organist..H is j father is an old eisteddfodwr,and successfully coiApeted.-at many' contests' years AIr» W. H. Capel did yeoman service as or-j ga'nist. and was presented by tr- church Av:th a photo of himself in recognition of his efforts on behalf of the cause. He was subsequently appointed accompanist to the now defunct | Ogmore Male Voice Harmonic Society, an an- j pointment which lie held for six years. F»s next position was organist at St. Davids' Church. Ogmore Yale, and he holds the post of eonduotor there. It was always Air.. j H. Capel's great ambition to promote a juvenile choir in the valley, and this amhi- tion he has no doubt accomplished, judging by the list of successes and trophies won. The choir has competed 31 times against choirs oi a high standard and reputation; 27 times it. has proved successful, including successes at three Semi-Nationals. The choir has only been in existence for 21, years, and both choir j 2 and conductor will not be satisfied umil they capture the blue riband of the Eisteddfodic arena at the National Eisteddfod of Wfiks. They are now busily rehearsing for competi- tion at Colwyn Bay in September, and they entertain strong hopes of proving successful.

SOCIALISAI AND liOLDERY. To the Editor. 'Sir. In his letter which appeared in your j issue of June ] 71h, l r. BeniK'tta says that he '-is in agreement with tho Socialist 'advo- cate:; of Free Love; »n other wor.k. he is himself an acknowledged arostio of Free Lust." That being so. it is incomprehen- cihle w!:v he. in his he-: letter, attacks a-t:iirg w'iuch lie supports. Pvrhrtp. he will kind: explain, and not skirl; this question, as he does crery other .one,. Me and Gw3iym" naturally evade the Soci^IBt e.itc.ta ic, which I gave, and the question of the destruction of the family as a result of the (>(")j1(lmj, rondi- tions that would prevail under Socialism. Will mv opponents please face the situation squar«dv unci honestly, and make an endeav- our to preve their assertions ,that Socialism does not mean the (les-triictlotl of the family. By so doing t'tey v, ill 1),e disproving the -state- ments of Socialist leaders, such a:; Bax.

"Hiese men say thatf wlieri' tho.pjiescnt private property system, under wfuch live is des- troyed (by the establishment of Socialism) those domestic institutions based upon it (the family, tic.) cannot survive. I pointed this out in my last letter, but so far have had uo answer to the argument, which is not my own but that 01 Socialist leader: Mr. Ben net'.a has said that no man has a moral right to claim a woman as his pr"i~eny. means presumably that a husband cannot claim his wife as his own. Tins is absolutely in keeping with Socialist principles. Under Socialism no man would be allowed 10 ov. :i anything.

No doubt this is highly interesting and illuminat- ing as a doiVnce of Socialism, but, unfor- tunately. it is not the kind of sense your rentiers require: nor are his remarkable argu- ments likely to convince anybody.

To come to the figures. f ?iotice that in stating the national income in my last letter there were two errors, and of course Air. Ben- netta takes ad-vantage of this. In one figure there was one 0 too many, and the amount "paid as interest," which I gave as £ 0-30 mil- lions, was really rent and interest added. I now give the correc t figures below — Paid to— Millions. Manual Labour £ 090 Labour not Manual £.4(jO I' Total to income £1.150 Millions. Rent £ 2dei In tore: t -"300 t650 Total National Income .£:1.800 i Thus Labour receives two-thirds, and not the j grotesque pr<iporxion Air. Bennetta seems to I imagine. He gives sorrrr of Idhiozza Money'?? j figures. I was acquainted with them before, I but I sthi maintain that iie pit a lalse com- I ieaion on t oe figures he gave in his previous letter. He said that £ '82-5 millions were taken by tne "rich idlers." I have proved from authoritative Socialist figures that- the ¡I workers get :J.1;h) millions yearly, whereas capitalists only get millions, or one-half. Mr. Bennetta apparently acknowledges that these capitalists have a right to this "ent and interest, for I find that he has failed touch my question to him (June lOtiu. "Does lie deny the right of these capitalists to interest on their mOlw" Another question of mine ¡ which lie has shirked and not touched is. Does he assert that the value of all work is" equal?"'
