PYLE COLLIERS' CLAIM. I ♦ "ABNORMAL PLACES" CLAUSE. At Aberavon Police Court 011 Monday, Thomas Russell, Jenkin Williams. Joseph Williams, and John Lewis, colliers, ot PvJe. sued the Cribbwr Fawr Colliery Company for {::2 ls. 9d.. balance of wages alleged to be due. Mr. James (Messrs. Morgan, Bruce and Nicholas, Pontypridd), on instructions from Alderman John Thomas (miners' agent), appeared for applicants, and Mr. Y illicrs Meager (instructed by Mr. Trevor Hunter) for the company. Mr. James said the question was whether the men were entitled to benefit under the abnormal places" clause. The men had worked in No. 4 West Heading drawing back pillars, and this work was finished on March 19th. Starting in a new place, they found a large quantity of brass, which made boring impossible, and which resulted in a drop in wages. Evidence in support of these facts was given by the four applicants. Alderman John Thomas said he considered the place abnormal, but Mr. Meager conten- ded that the condition of the snot was simi- lar to the remainder of the colliery. Thomas Morgan (manager) said there was a considershlo quantity of brass in the colliery, but le-s brass at this particular spot than when the price-list was m;Hc. The Bench held th:;r elae:. i,fs had not sarlsiied them that tiie place w.r, abnorm; and gave judgment for u. t'e:ida:l.s, vaui costs.

1 MAESTEG COLLIERIES. 0 AN OTHER APPEAL TO BE MADE. The efforts both on the part of the workmen and management to come to some arrange- ment to re-start the Gart hand Oakwood Col- 1( lier lee, Maesteg, have not so far been very favoui'rtble. The proposals which were offered on Tuesday, last week, have been re- jected, and it is stated that Mr. Rees, the owners' agent, Ona Mr. Hartshorn, the miners' agent, have sent to Sir Owen Phillips another joint appeal With the hope that some agreement may issue re-npon the collieries.

MINERS' SUNDAY SlG&t- SHIFT. MEN'S REFUSAL TO QUESTION OF A JOINT AUDIT. The South Wales Coal Trade Conciliation Board held a special meeting at the Engi- neers' Institute, Cardiff, on Saturday. Mr. F. L. Davis and Mr. W. braham I (Mabon), M.P., presided over the respective sides, which met each other at the joint board room, without any separate conference taking place, so that the several matters held over from the meeting held on the 10th of June were at once dealt with, and the whole of the work was gone through in the morning ses- sion. t The first question of general importance was that raised by the owners' representa- tives with regard to Sunday night shifts—a question which, by the way, formed the sub- ject of a good deal of discussion between the two parties on the occasion of the framing of the new agreement, and which, indeed, has been given some prominence ever since the passing of the Mines Eight Hours Act. Nothing can be much clearer, on the face of it, than the wording of the clause in the new agreement which bears upon the matter. This clause stipulates— That where Sunday night shifts are worked they shall be eight hours shifts, only one shift to be paid. The difficulty has arisen through the work- men at several collieries refusing to work the eight hours, and this refusal, the owners con- tended, was a distinct breach of the clause cited. It was elicited that the custom which had hitherto prevailed at the several collieries differed, and at those places where prior to the passing of the Eight Hours Act this shift was of briefer duration—in many places, apparently, it only extended over six hours—the workmen maintain that their hours of working on the Sunday night should not be increased as the result of the passing of an Act, the object of which was the cur- tailment of the hours of labour, and it is further maintained that their contention is upheld by Clause 24 of the Agreement, which provides that owners and workmen "shall be subject to all customs, provisions, and con- ditions existing in December, 1899." With a view of getting over the difficulty, the suggestion was made that the matter should be relegated to a committee, but the workmen's representatives hesitated to pledge themselves to any line of policv until they had had an opportunity of further consider- ing the matter, and the question of the ap- pointment of a committee was. consequently. deferred and the whole question left in abey- ance until the next meeting. An interesting item was the disbandment of the Hauliers' Committee now that the duty allotted to it had been performed. It was recognised that the committee had done good work in dealing with this class of workmen, and particularly in framing the hauliers' agreement, and a cordial vote of thanks was accorded the committee for the valuable services rendered. Once again the question of a joint audit was raised. The workmen's representatives often allege that they are being handicapped through their not having access to data upon which the owners submit figures in support of their case in either demanding a reduc- tion of the general wage rate or in resisting applications made for advance, the men's representatives having to base their case mainly upon the Board of Trade returns, and they further contend that they have no means of cheeking the figures produced by the owners. They now. therefore, formulated their demand for a joint audit. With a view. however, of enabling both sides of the board to further consider the matter, this ques- tion was also deferred. Attention was directed by the owners' re- presentatives to the decision of the Miners' Federation of Great Britain in refusing to countenance and amendment of the Mines Eight Hours Act so as to legalise an earlier starting oil Saturday mornings with a view of making the new over-lapping shift opera- tive. There was. however, practically 110 discussion in reference to the matter, the workmen's representatives at once intimat- I ing that they had had no opportunity of con- sidering the decision referred to. The mat- f ter was, therefore, adjourned, it being under- stood that when the board next meets the workmen's represent "fives will be ready to make the pronouncement as to what course they are prepared to pursue in view of the somewhat embarrassing position in which I they are now placed.

BRIDGEND RESIDENT WITHDRAWS NOTHING. — IVH,:K I' I HAVK SAID, I HAVE SAID. I I Many of our readers will call to mind the statement made some considerable time since by Mr. Evans, of Brook-street. Such in- terest has it awakened in Bridgend and the neighbourhood that we have commissioned a reporter to interview Mr. Evans, who with- drew nothing from his statement, but, on the contrary, made a most important addition. Mr. John Evans, of 21 Brook-street, Bridg- end. says: "For over 30 years I had been occasionally subject to bad pains in my back, between my shoulders, in my sides, and the lower part of the body. I also had bladder weakness, for the urine burned very much, and was of a dark colour, and thick. The in- frequency of the urine caused me much anxiety as well as discomfort, for I was obliged to rise all hours of the night, and then could only pass a little. My rest at night j was disturbed, and I grew very depressed. I had medical treatment, but it failed to do me any good. I spent pounds on doctors' bills, but all in vain. After suffering for some time I heard about Doan's Backache Kidney Pills. I deci- ded to try them, although I had no faith in them, but when I had taken the first box of the pills I had less pain: the urine passed easily, and became natural in colour. My back was easier.and I obtained rest at night. After giving Doan's Backache Kidney Pills a good trial, all the painful symptoms left me. and I was well and strong. I consider the pills worth recommending. (Signed), John Evans." Nearly eight years after telling us of his cure, Mr. Evans, added: "I still have great confidence in Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, and am glad to say I am keeping well. The pills cured inc. and I have kept cured ever since." Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are two I' shillings and ninepenee per box. or six boxes for thirteen shillings and ninepenee.

The meeting of the representatives of the W elsh Churches was held at Carmel. presided over by the Itey. W. R. Bowen, and the representatives of the English Churches assembled at Bethlehem, Mr. T. Ernest Davies. of the National Provin- cial Bar! being in the chair. The question for disco sion at both meetings was How to counteract the leakage in the Sunday Schools." It had been felt for a long time that the breaking up of the Sunday Schools for special preaching services ill the different places of worship accounted in a great meas- ure for the non-attendance of young people at Sunday School. —At the meeting of the delegates of the Welsh Churches, it was re- solved to recommend the churches to discon- tinue preaching services on the afternoon of their anniversary meetings, and to hold the school as usual. The representatives of the English Churches decided to recommend: ¡ "That the Church discontinue breaking up their Sunday School for any special services other than their own, and it is practic- able, even then, to keep the school open for the children.A committee meeting of the representatives of the Sunday Schools in the central division of Maesteg was held at Taber- nacle Vestrv on the same evening, to consider the advisability of holding tb" Sunday School demonstration as usual tiiis year. Mr. Thomas S. Morris, Church-street, was voted to the chair. Two delegates were present from each of the Sunday Schools, and with one exception all voted in favour of the demonstration. It was decided to traverso the usual route. CATHOLIC SCHOOL CONCERT. At the Town-liall, Maesteg, on June 29th, a successful concert was given by the scholars of the Catholic School before a crowded audi- ence. Dr. Bell Thomas presided. The school is under the charge of Miss Connelly, the headmistress, whose efforts, with those of the members of her staff, were justly rewarded. The little ones were without nerves, appa- rently, for not a hitch occurred throughout the performance. The opening chorus, the "Gipsies' Laughing Trio," was beautifully and tastefully sung. The scari drill, by the junior scholars, was excellently executed. This was followed by an amusing duet, en- titled, "Pretty Polly Hopkins." bv Miss I. s Grimaldi and Master J. Maroney. This item was one of the hits of the evening, and an encore was loudly demanded. Miss Ivv Hol- man delighted the audience with a C hina Love Song." The action S011g. by Misses Grimaldi and Holm-an and Masters D. Donoghue and T. Burke, was en, and the song, dialogue, and ounce. .Night in Dormitory School, was very amusing, causing much laughter. Hie pillow nght, with the thirteen boys from Dr. Sponker s School" created great excitement. Miss Ivy Holman again delighted the audience witn a mandoline solo, follwed by a dance, whie.i brought forth prolonged applause. The song and drill. "Mullinghan Guards." was well done bv the bovs, and that it was appreci- ated was evidenced by the applause which greeted them at the close. The first part of the concert was concluded by the boys and girls rendering "Children's Voices." The second part of the programme was given t)i "I. to a la roe in one act, entitled, The Irish Doctor." which caused roars of laughter throughout.

MID-GLAMORGAN CONSERVATIVES. .— —-♦— STRONG CANDIDATE PROMISED. A largely attended meeting of the .Mid-Gla- morgan Conservative Association was held at the Porthcawl Constitutional Ciub on Satur- day. Mr. S. H. Byass presided. The executive committee was re-elected Mr. S. H. Byass was re-appointed chairman; and Messrs. J. M. Smith (Aberavon), Lynch Blosse, and D. Hees (Cadoxton) vice-chair- men, and Councillor David Williams (Aber- avon) secretary. The question of running a Conservative candidate at the next election was discussed, and it was unanimously decided that a candi- date should be put forward. Mr. Godfrey Williams intimated to the meeting that if he did not stand himself he would undertake to bring forward a strong candidate to contest the division. (Cheers.) He would also arrange -that the services of Mr. E. Waddington and Mr. Morgan Thomas should be placed at the disposal of the com- mittee and the secretary for working the constituency.

LABOUR APPOINTMENT. Further investigations have elicited confir- mation of the announcement that an appoint- ment of a Labour Adviser to the Home Office is contemplated, but it would now seem that some months may yet elapse before the ap- pointment is actually made. Present ap- pearances point to the probability of the office being conferred upon n woll-known Welsh member. Two Labour members, both from South IVales, are being mentioned in connec- tion with this matter. <:> Both are highly quali- fied for such office on account of their ripe ex- perience in Labour matters, their expert knowledge of industrial affairs, and the high esteem in which they are held by employers, employed, and the community at large. The election of either of them before the dissolu- tion would create a vacancy in a Welsh con- stituency. Mr. D. J. Shackleton, M.P. for North- East Lancashire, 'it has since been stated, has been offered the post, and is considering the matter. The office, as at present defined, does not appeal strongly to Mr. Shackleton. If he could be satisfied that it will grow into one of greater influence than is at present arranged he might accept it. For the moment, however, the matter rests there. It is thought by some of the Labour mem- bers that this new step will hast-en the crea- tion of a Ministry of Commerce. At present most Labour matters are dealt with by the Board of Trade. The Home Office, of course, administers all the laws affecting the inspec- tion and the regulation of industries. One view is that both this work and the duties now carried out by the Labour Department of the Board of Trade should be combined and entrusted to a Minister of Commerce.

STITCH IN TIME. There is an old saying A stitch in time saves nine," and if upon the first symptoms of anything being wrong with our health we ware to resort to some simple but proper means of correcting the mischief, nine-tenths of the suffering that invades our homes would be avoided. A dose of Gwilyni Evans's Quin- lile Hitters taken when you feel the least oil out of sorts is just that stitch in time."

The ground was in an excellent condition, having dried rapidly under a strong sun. Matches be- tween these two clubs always occasion consi- derable excitement, and this proved to he no exception to the rule. Talvgarn made a dis- astrous start, and the side was out for 31. W. Roberts captured three wickets for 10 runs; C. Cook three for 8. and J. Megins four for 5. Llantrisant gave a perfect display of fielding, and were frequently applauded. Xot a single run was given away, and every chance was accepted. Llantrisant sent in Jefferies and Megins to face the howling of Quick and Davies. Both batsmen opened cautiously, but with the score at o Jefferies was dismissed. Afterwards, by steady and consistent batting, the score rose gradually until at the fall of the eight wicket the home- ster's total was exceeded, and the total ulti- mately reached 43. Since the inauguration of the Llantrisant Club some fifteen years ago, matches have been played between these teams annually, and previous to this match Llantriasant have never defeated Talvgarn.

I Owing to the inability of the visitors to reach Porthcawl until late, this match on I Saturday was not started until 5 p.m. The visitors came with an unbeaten record for this season, and as Porthcawl possessed a similar record, an interesting game was ex- ¡ pectfd. Neither team turn out at full strength. Porthcawl batted first, and made a most deplorable start, Bevan, Tyler, David, C. Lewis, and W. R. Evans all being out with the board reading 6 for six. the last three wickets having fallen for no runs. In view of the efforts made by J. H. Thomas on pre- ¡ vious occasions when Porthcawl have been in sort straits, his advent to the wicket was eagerly awaited, and once again Jack" I came to the rescue, and he quickly hit up a score of 11 before being bowled. This seemed to turn Porthcawl's luck, the score eventually reaching 44, out of which three players alone made 30. In addition to the play of J. H. Thomas, C. Harry and F. Bowen helped to save Porthcawl, the former putting on 14, while the latter, playing careful on 14. while the latter, playing careful cricket, scored II not out. The visitors, from the manner in which they began, ap- peared as if they would add another win to their list, but after the second wicket had fallen, they could do nothing against the bowling of W. David and C. Harry. The total, when the second wicket fell, was 12. but the Porthcawl bowling was so effective that the whole side were out for a total of 18 runs, the homesters being left winners by 26 runs. Harry's analysis was: 9 runs. 4 wickets, 9 overs (3 maidens), average 2.1 and David's 0 runs, 5 wickets, 9 overs (4 maidens), average 1.1. Scores:- Porthcawl. R. C. Bevan, b Williams 2 B. C. Tyler.
