PONTARDAWE and ALLTWEN GLEANINGS [BY BikKS.] The 'buses are doing more than making pedestrians sneeze these dusty days. They are providing the Railway Company with food for reflection. Where, formerly, hundreds of passengers made the journey to Ystaly- fera by train they may now be numbered in tens. Having proved that the servi ce of 'bus-es between Neath and Pontardawe is a paying proposition, the G.W.Rly. Co. has now put on a through service from Neath to Brynamman. The South Wales Transport Company's se,rvice from Ynisforgan to Ystalyfera continues to grow in public favour, and additional coaches have been put on. Pontardawe might yet be the gather- ing ground of South Wales journalists, as the proposal to hold a branch meet- ing in the metropolis of the Valley was seriously discussed on Saturday. We ap- pear to be getting on. Even Councillor Francis ought to be satisfied with this sign of progress! During his recent suspension from work owing to the accidental breakage of a roll, Mr D. J. Thomas, I learn, was the recipient of 30s. indirectly through Mr Lloyd George. Even the Insurance Act comes in handy, sometimes. At last the longed for, lingering terror has arriVed, and what a shattering of hopea there was, my masters. As I predicted a fortnight ago, the list of new magistrates has caused more dis- gust than pleasure. "Is there no hope? the sick man said The silent doctor shook his head In reference to the appointment of two (and the disappointment of several) whose names appear in the list, I suggest there are palpably obscure reasons. The last time I saw Mr Thomas Jones, of Clydach, in public, was at the Pont- ardawe Police Court on the occasion of his resisting the demands of the Pontar- ) dawe Council that he should connect certain drains to the Clydach Sewerage Scheme. I understand that he has since I done the work. Perhaps that is the reason for his appointment. In the case of Mr Richard Hy. Probyn Miers, of Ynyspenlhvch, I can only hope that his future services to the community will amply justify his selection. At pre- sent, I believe, his chief claim for the position is that he is the son of his father. A list of magistrates which would con- tain the names of Messrs. Abra;ham Jones, David Evans, Geo. Smith, Tom Jeremiah, W. Vaughan, John Joseph and J. L. Rees would certainly suggest to many "the end of all things." The danger is not imminent. The newly a-pointed magistrates will be sworn in at the Cardiff County Hall on Tuesday next. Several local gentlemen are anticipating the early publication of a second list of magistrates. "Ye who pursue with eager- ness the phantoms of hope and that the deficiences of the present day will be supplied Ly the morrow; attend to the history of Rasselas, Prince of Abvssnna. By the death of Mr Herbert Lloyd, J.P., the. district has lost a fine old country gentleman. The type is fast dis- appearing. At the Midsummer Quarter Sessions for the County of Glamorgan, opened on Tuesday, Mr O. H. Jones (the chairman) moved that a vote of condolence with the family should be forwarded, and that a minute should be recorded expressing t-ho' r deep sense of loss the County had sustained. He knew of no death of late years which could be considered of greater loss to the Justices personally and to the County. The solving of the Housing Question in the Swansea Valley, as elsewhere, de- pends to a. great extent upon the pro- posals of the Government,—which have been 3efeated by the plutocrats of the Liboral Party,—being put into operation. Once the Medical Officers of Health and Sanitary Inspectors are appointed as Government officials, bad housing con- ditions will become a spectre of the past. The "plutes" probably see this, and it is not so much the expense that they object as to more power being given to these harassed officials. I believe that at least one third of the houses, in the Swansea Valley, and more than this proportion at Ystalyfera, would be condemned as unfit for occupation if tho various officials were given a free hand The receipts, in connection with Adulum Bazaar amounted to over £100, after meeting all expenses. The Trebanos Sewerage Scheme is neor- ing completion, and will probably be com- pleted within a month'& time. What a splendid thing it would have been for the whole of the Valley if say, 20 years ago the Pontardawe sanitary authority saw fit to make one big job of the sewage disposal from Clydach to Abercrave; and if a comprehensive water supply had been laid down, and an ade- qute scheme of lighting the whole of the district had been carried out. Have these good things been missed be- cause of the petty parochialism of the public representatives ? If so, parochial- ism i,3 a most expensive hobby. At ilie Graig Chapel, Trebanos, on I Sunday, flower services were held in the Jufternoon and evening, the Rev. D. J. Rees preaching at both services. The flowers were subsequently forwarded to Swansea Hospital. Whilst follow in^ his employment as a bricklayer at Gilbertson's works on Thursday, J. M. Lewis, of Alltwen Hill, received a nasty injury to his head. A serious accident occurred at the Steeilworks; on Saturday which rendered necessary the removal to the Swansea Hospital of James McBowden, a fitter. I He was engaged in boring a casting with an electric drill when a part of the machine caught his clothing, and he was drawn into the drill, with the result that I he received shocking injuries to the lower portion of his body. Latest enquiries show that he is making slow progress although, unfortunately, he is not yet out of danger. These be the days when pockets get too hot to hold money, and the ice-cream merchants and aerated water manu- facturers—not to mention the brewers— are working overtime. The employees at Mond's^Nickel Works are at present taking their annual holi- days, the works being closed down for a month for the purpose—of allowing re- pairs and cleaning up. A demonstration is being arranged to take place in the third week of July in order to put before the unorganised mob the necessity of their coming into the I Trade Union Movement. I Mr Tom Jones, son of Mr Morgan Jones oenginedriver), Pontardawe, is one of the leading members of the Welsh National Dramatic Company at preeent producing Welsh plays at Swansea. A cricket match between Glantawe and the English Wesleyans on Saturday re- sulted in a trouncing for the latter who scored 26 against Glantawe'a 105 for 5 wickets. The principal scorers for the winning team were Dai Rees (55) Will Gray, Joe Munday and Hy. Jenkins. Isaac Broug- ham kept wicket for the Wesleyans, and by his efforts the score was prevented from motmting-as it might have done. The first annual sports in connection witti the Swansea Valley Schools Foot- ball League will be held on the Athletic Grounds on Saturday. The local Scouts will hold their annual sports on the same grounds in a fortnight's time. A true picture of Hades The mills this weather. The Palace, Herbert street, is now, under new management, having been taken over by Mr Mathias, who has been very successful in this class of manage- ment at other places—especially Ystaly- fera, and Port Talbot. Mr Geo. Hicks, national organiser for the Operative Bricklayer's Society, who is one of the most trenchant and popular speakers in the advanced Labour Move- ment is coming to Pontardawe to try and settle the present biulders' dispute. The membership of the O.B.S. in Pontardawe and district has never been be l ow 22 in numbers. I am glad to be able to disagree with certain master builders on this point. The Trades and Labour Council has ap- pointed Messrs. Geo. Smith, John Ed- wards, and J. M. Davies to wait upon the members of the P. and D.M.B.F., and there is now a likelihood of an early settlement. At least three of the Master Builders have signed the agreement asked for by the men. Only three of the 32 members of the Society are at present idle, and the affected men are having the greatest diffi- culty in keeping the strike going. The masters complain that the men did not give them sufficient notice of their intentions to apply for an increase and recognition of the code of working rules. The men state that aiv-official letter was sent to them (the masters) on the 11th March last. On the 2nd June a meeting of the members of the O.B.S. held. at the Dill- wyn Arms decided that they would re- sume work under the following con- ditions :— 1. That no master builder in Pontar- dawe shall pay less than 9d. per hour- to any mason or bricklayer. 2. That the Master Builders shall give an official declaration that they recogniset, the O.B.S. 3. That the Master Builders shall ap- point times and places for meeting re- presentatives of the masons and brick- layers for the purpose of discussing a code- of rules and advanced of wage which can be settled and come into operation on. August 1st. In reply to this the masters have "sug- gested'' a recommendation. The Alb ions Football Club will hold. their annual meeting this (Saturoay) evening. ) Nine out of 14 mills at the works are working, and the men, if they could I afford it, would unheetitatingly refuse to- worked under the present abnormal weather conditions.

IN UNION. STRENGTH. A large number of miners are unem- ployed at present for various reasons, :including the non-Unionist pest, a dis- pute about the reliability of safety lamps, and the shortage of vessels -owing to the marine engineers' strike. "This last circumstance is a significant reminder of the extent to which various -classes of workers are interdependent. Solidarity of the workers is less an jnteHectual conception or an ethical impulse than a fact of human evolution forced uoon us bv industrial expansion. Mr. J. A. Hobson, the most human of modern economists, insists that per- haps the main iiist-ifieatio-n of indus- trialism is that it has forced the human race into a position of mutual depend- ence. Each fresh development of capi- talist industry only seems to increase the dependence of individuals upon people they have never seen, and upon <?ircu instances of which they have little or no knowledge. It seems at first si,gh-t to be an absurd statement that i the heavjj supper of a Near-Eastern -diplomat may cause an increase of wages at Tonvoandv. but it is never- theless true. The indigestion or slug- gish liver of the p^reat man may lead to misunderstandings, misunderstand- ing to a war-cloud, a war-cloud to in- jquiries for South Wales coal, these in- quiries to an enhanced selling-price of ..coal, and an enhanced selling-price ul- timately to an increase in miners' Wages. The devilries on the Putumayo, Iby their influence on the rubber mar- let. mav affect the motor-'bus service -An the Swansea Valley, and the des- truction of the boll-weevil that preys .-on the cotton crop of South America "would have commercial consequences -world-wide in scope. Almost as true of the economic world as of the spiritual plane which he had in mind are the words of Francis Thompson All thinks to each other Linked are, And thou cans't not stir- a flower Without troubling of a star. And because of economic interdepeud- ence the miners are affected by 1he quarrel between the marine engineers and the shipowners. In the same way -thev ha,ve been driven into an alliance with the railwaymen and transport workers: in the same way they are compelled by reason, altruism, and the facts of modern life to join in a I,o.boi-ir Party, including in its fold all fwctiors of organised labour, and linked. id with the other proletarian parties of the world. For a precisely similar reason, because the interests of one are the interests of all. they are com- pelled to force their dissident (and dissolute) fellow-workmen into the Fed- eration fold. Non-Unionists weaken the Federation, weakening the Federa- tion mean lower wages, lower wages mean an injuriously less satisfactory life. and this effects the present gener- ation, and generations yet unborn. Unity and co-operation a.re the salient facu of the hour. Individualism is -dead. No man can live to himself alone. Even division of labour rests upon co-operation. And upon the in- "telligent a.nd diligent co-operation of all the workers depend the welfare of -the ration and the progress of the na- tion.

LABOUR AND THE MAGISTRATES. Just as a certain King was i an unconscionable time a-dying the j list of new magistrates for Glamorgan I has been an unconscionable time ap- pearing, and during the delay the ad- ministration of justice has become  more and more scandalous. Now that the list has appeared it becomes plain that the authorities have at last moved in the direction of democratising the Bench in the premier Welsh county. The inclusion of men like Mr. William Jenkins (Avon Valley Miners) and Mr. Vernon Hartshorn will meet with as much approval throughout the county as does locally the appointment of Councillor H. J. Powell and Councillor D. T. Williams, Alltwen. More men of their type are needed among the magis- i trates to counteract the ingrained bias I of the employers against working men, and the abysmal ignorance of well-to- do justices of the real circumstances of I working-class offenders who come be- fore them. At the same time we must insist, and we hope the Gower Labour Party will take the protest to the pro- per quarters, that even with the recent acquisitions the constitution of the Bench at Pontardawe is not nearly so democratic as it should be in an over- whelmingly working-class area such as this. Ystradgynlais is in even worse case. Some organised effort must be made to redress the balance, and the Labour organisations throughout South Wales must make a determined de- mand for more working-class magis- trates, the appoinftment of stipen- ra n( I diaries, and the abolition of the Grand Jury, at Quarter Sessions. -————- —————-

IH/LAIS VALLEY CHAT. I (Gan Ymdeitlivdd), j (Gzl-,i Ymdeitlivdd), SLACKNIvT.S AT THE PITS, I Work has been quiet at the collieries in the lower part of the valley during the past fow weeks, a.nd apparently t'n erA ip little hope of an immediate improvement. At Llwynon (C-rynant) and other pits in the vicinity trade is very slack indeed. Tho Seven Sisters memn have been fortunate in this re- spect. The colliery has worked regu- larly for a few weeks now. SENSATIONAL MAESMARCHOG RUMOUR. A sensational rumour has been circu- lated this week to the effect that all the men at the Maesmarchog Colliery had received notice. This, I learn, is not correct, but there is every prob- ability that notices will be tendered to the men in a very short time. As there are from 350 to 400 men em- ployed at the colliery it is a very seri- ous matter, but the fact that notices will be tendered does not necessarily mean that the colliery will stop. It is stated that work at the colliery has not been profitable for some time, and that the position ha.s been made worse by the fact that trade is so' quiet and prices are tending to lower. There are hopes that, although notices are tendered, work will be continued from day to day for a little time, and that meanwhile there will have been a turn in the tide of trade which will justify I continuance of work. I PANTYFFORDD MISSION. The Rev R. B. Jones, of Porth, a minister who is well-known in this dis- trict, commenced a four days' mission at Pantyffürdd on Tuesday evening, where he is speaking until this evening (Friday). There have been good at- tendances, and there is every indica- tion of the mission being very success- ful. THE BAND QUESTION. Arrangements are still in hand for the transiferance of the effects of the Seven Sisters Band to the local work- men's oommittee. The latter body has appointed a sub-committee to draw up a scheme foraffecti ng this change in ownership, and this is to be submitted to a general meeting of the men for approval. Mr. D. W. Morgan (Tany- clyn) is conductor, and under his leader- ship, as well as the changed manage- ment, it; is hoped to restore the band to its former prosperity. SPORTSMEN will ensure success by purchasing their requirements from H. ATKINSON, Union Street, Swansea. THE BENEFIT CONCERT. The benefit concert held at Zcar, Seven Sisters on Thursday evening last in aid of tho fund that is lwl ng raised to assist Mr. Rowland Morgan, Peny- bank, was as I anticipated last week, very successful. An excellent pro- gramme was gone through and there was a good attendance. The Mayor of Neath (Councillor Trick), who presided, promised a substantial donation to the fund, and it is expected that the effort wiH have resulted in an excellent sum for Mr. Morgan's henefit. TWO BACHELORS AND A BABY. I The wife of a well-known and re- spected Seven Sisters tradesman was walking down Crynnnt Road on Sunday evening with her baby. It was very hot, and the child, like all others, was feeling the effects of the oppressive heat, and it v. as fretful. As it hap- pened, two bachelor friends of baby's father appeared on the scene, and in desperation, mother handed the little one to them bidding the blushing young men to take the child to its dad. Being chivalrous gentlemen they, could hardly deoline, but judtre of the astonishment written on the father's visa.ge when his friends oalmly walked in and handed y»ung hopeful to him! I NEW LOCAL MAGISTRATE. I Congratulations to Mr. David Daniel, of Crynant, whose name appears in the list of new Justices appointed for Glamorgan. Mr. Daniel is a colliery proprietor and agent, but he has the reputation of being a just and fair minded employer, and in his public work as a. member of the Neath Rural District Council, he has always stood for the best interests of the Valley, ir- respective of party OT creed. There is distinct disappointment in the Valley, however, that onlv one appointment has been made. Apart from the de- sires of one or two men who imagine that they would add dignity to the Neath Bench, it is felt that Seven Sisters ought also to have been repre- sented in the list, and if amp supple- -it-, are to t?o ma d e, mentary appointments are to be made, the claims of this village ought to be put forward immediately. I BACHELORS BECOMING BENE- I DICTS. The few members of the Seven Sisters Bachelors Club appear to be dwindling slowly. The latest member to discard the proud badge of single bliss is Mr. H. T. Moore, of the Seven Sisters Hotel, who, I learn, was married whilst on holiday recently. Congratulations! SE10N TEA AND ENTERTAINMENT I There was a good attendance at Seion Methodist Chapel, Seven Sisters, on Thursday, when a tea and evening social took place. An excellent repast was provided, and afterwards a pleas- ant t ime was spent, several artistes giving songs, etc. The proceeds were on behalf of the chapel funds. DULAIS VALLEY AND TOWN I PLANNING. Interviewed on Monday, the Mayor of Neath (Councillor W. B. Trick, J.P.), gave some interesting particu- lars regarding the progress of town planning in this locality. Speaking of Neath, he said that the scheme has proceeded on lines in accord with views of the chief official of the Local Gov- ernment Board. As regards the Dulais Valley, the Neath Rural District Coun- cil is not as far advanced as the Neeth Town Council, but for a considerable period a committee of that body have been actively) engaged in the prepare tion of a scheme upon which the sur- veyors are now hard at work. As you I know, the Neath Rural District Coun- cil has a very large area ?) adminiBtN, but that body is nothing if not pro- gressive, and it will -i?nquestional)lvI keep ahead of projected developments. The whole area is planned out, and no fear need be entertained that any un- sightly or ugly streets will be erected. Instead, comfortable homes with pleas- ing surroundings will be provided. ONLL YN COLLIERY AFFAIRS. I I understand that the vacant post of manager at the Onllwyn Colliery is shortly to be taken by Mr. Howells, the under manager at Seven Sisters. Mr. Wm. Williams, the late manager, has recently taken up an appointment in the Caerphilly district. I AMBULANCE TEAM'S BISTINC- TION. The Onllwyn Ambulance team, who recently took part in the examination at the Neath centre, have not only come out in the highest position in this district, but have the great dis- tinction of being the second team in South Wales. They will now compete for the South Wales Shield, the exam- ination for which will take place on July llth. I STUDTS' CINEMA. A capital programme has been pre- sented at the Seven Sisters Pictures and Variety House this week and has been hugely enjoyed by fairly good audi- ences. The pictures are of the best and provide education as well as entertain- ment. For next week, the starring engagement is announced of Marie El- liott, a Dutch comedienne and dancer. Patrons should not miss this attraction. W. A. WILLIAMS. Phrenologist, can be consulted daily at the Victoria Arcade (near the Market), Swansea.
