MERTHYR. IMPOHTANT FOR I.L.P.BEES.—Will all mem- bere please note that next Tuesday's meeting will be a special one. Important matters will be discussed, and which should receive the at- tention of every member of the party. NEXT SUNDAY'S I.L.P. MEETING.—Mr Teddie Roberts is to be the speaker at Sunday's meet- ing of the Literaxy and Debating Society at the I.L.P. Rooms. We are not aware what sub- ject Mr Roberts will deal with, but we are sure of a good evening. DEATH OF MERTHYR SCULPToB.-The death oc- curred with tragic suddenness in the early hours of Sunday morning, at The Walk, Merthyr, of Mr. D. Charles Morgan, a well-known sculptor, at the age of 65 years. The deceased's father was a prominent Chartist and participated in the riots a.t Merthyr. A WOMAN'S PLEA.—A woman who was charg- ed at the Merthyr Police Court on Tuesday for stealing coal pleaded that she "had three children to keep, and only received 6/ a week on which to do it." She added, "Sometimes we live; sometimes we starve." And no won- der, having regard to present-day prices! PRESENTATION TO COUN. D. DAVIES.—At last Thursday's meeting of the Merthyr Trades Council the deferred presentation was maeto I Coun. Dai Davies, Pant, of a handsome electro tea and coffee service in recognition of his sar- vi«e6 in the past on behalf of the Council and Organised Labour in general. The presenta- tion was made by the -President (Mr. Bert Brobyn), who, in a fine speech, eulogistica-lly referred to the valuo of the Councillor's services to Organised Labour. Co-Lin., Dai Daviea, in thanking the Council for the gift, recalled some, of the stern old fights, municipal and parlia- mentary. of the past. SNATCHHD HIS PURSB.—"She asked me for a drink, and when I pralled my purse out to give her sixpence she snatched it and ran away," said John Murphey, a labourer, who prosecuted at Merthyr on Tuesday in a case in which Margaret Haggerty, the wife of a soldier, -was charged with stealing 30/ When taken into custody defendant gave the prosecutor back a 10/- note. Defendant pleaded that she was in a "cook shop" where prosecutor was "swanking with three 10/- notes." She picked up one from the table, 'but gave it back next day." It was stated that defendant had been before the court 79 times, and she was fined (or 21 days). SAILOR CHARGED AT MERTHYR.—At Merthyr on Tuesday Harold James Jones, a sailor boy, was charged with stealing a silver watch chain, valued 35/ the property of John H. Fletcher, an attendant at a local place of amusement.— Prosecutor said defendant asked him if he could get him work as he was starving. He took him home, gave him food and lodging for the night, and next day, after he had left to look for work, witness missed the chain from th& sideboard. Defendant, who admitted the theft, pawned the chain for 2/6. The Chief Constable said the boy had hitherto borne a good character, and the officer of his ship was willing to take him back. Defendant was bound over for 12 months and discharged. BACK TO THE FRONT.—A smoking concept was hed on Saturday evening last at the Red Lion Heolgerrig, in honour of Private J. Morgan (Welsh Horse), landlord of the inn, on his returning to the Front for the second time. A large number of friends had gathered, and an enjoyable evening was spent. Mr. David Peters presided. Solos, duets and recitations were given by Messrs. Parry; Phillips; Lewis; Williams (Cefn); W. Jones and E. R, Jones (Heolger- rig; and David Peters and E. Rees. The even- ing was an enjoyable one. and plenty of tobacco and smokes were kindly given by Mrs. Morgan. Addresses were given by many of his friends, wishing him the best of luck to follow him through. Pte. J. Morgan thanked his friends that were present for the respect they- had shown him. The evening concluded with the singing of Hen Wlad fy Nhadau," all present joining in the chorus. Pte. Morgan had a good send-off. all wishing him a speedy return to his family

MERTHYR VALE & ABERFAN MERTHYR VALE COLLIERY HOSPITAL FUND,—- The second meeting in connection with the Merthyr Vale Colliery Hospital Fund was held on Tuesday night ast at the Rechabite Hall, Merthyr Vale, Mr. John Evans (Moy Road) presiding. At the outset two representatives of the St. Dunstan's Hostel, founded by Mr. 0. Arthur Pearson addressed the meeting. They were Mr. Dunoan and Mr. Williams. The tormer has been blind since birth, and the latter lost his sight two yeans ago. Their ap- peals could hardly fail to evoke the practical sympathy of anyone who had the pleasure of I hearing them. They recounted the fact that a large number of soldiers had been admitted to tiieir institute irom this tearful war, blind. They were composed of Englishmen, French- men. and Belgians, and as evidence that the founder of this institute regarded all sufferers alike, irrespective as to whether they belonged to hostile countries or not. a German soldier, one of England's prisoners of war, who has un- fortunately been deprived of his sight, has been admitted. After-wards the meeting pro- ceeded with the ordinary business, and Messrs. David Sullivan T. H. Thomas, W. Trevor Morgan, and several others took part in a. lengthy discussion. ultimately it was decided unanimously to adopt the scheme laid before the meeting by the committee, whereby Id. per week will be deducted from the wages of each worker, and according to the estimated ex- penditure the sums were allocated as follow:- Cardiff Infirmary £ 175; Merthyr General Hospital £150; Cardiff Infirmary Convalescent Homes, £ 30; Merthyr Hospital Building Fund a,30; Porth crawl Rest, £ 31; Cardiff Orippleii Aid Society, £ 14; Cardiff Institute for the Bund, £ 14; St. Dunstan's Hostel, £ 14; Bristol General I.firm,ary, CIO 10s; Llandrindod Con- valescent Homes ?10 10s; Bath Mineral Tii-,tituto, RIO lOs'- Local Ambulance Brigades, ?10 10s; Merthyr Nursing Committee, .61 is

•" BARGOED. MEAT CASE.—At the County Court, Merthyr, Syd Davies, butcher, sued William Jones, but- cher, High Street, Bargoed, to recover payment for meat supplied, and was awarded judgment for his claim and costs, which amounts to £ o 6s. SHOP ASSISTANTS' UNION.—The annual meet- ing in connection with the above was held at the I.L.P. Rooms on the 16th inst., Mr. John Davies presicling. The attendance waa greatly affected by the adverse elements. Nevertheless the business was got through In a creditable manner. The offieers for the ensuing year were appointed as follows:—Chairman, Mr. J. Davies; vice-chairman, Mr. Richard Morgan; treasurer. Mr. A. J. W. Powell; secretary, Mr. D J Jones The Secretary, in his report, pointed out the healthy position of the branch, both financially and in membership, although the latter was not by any means what it should be. A very large percentage of the local assistants were still unorganised. But it was pleasing to hear that 47 new members had been admitted during the year. Unfortunately, many had left the district; some had left the distributive trade, and five had joined the col- ours. Nevertheless, at the end of the year, we were almost double in membership what we were at its commencement. Stick it, amateur organisers! After the business part of the meeting, we had the please of an aroundftable talk with our Welsh Organiser, Mr. E. G. Hughes, who paid us a surprise visit. The chat proved very instructive, and the discussion was much enjoyed—the chief topics being the minimum wage campaign, and the A. U .C.E. question. Sleeves up, comrades! Let's make 1916 a still greater success than 19151 Plenty of recruiting work to be done! Non-Unionieta, join up now! GROESFAEN COLLIERY.—A workmen's train has now been running about a fortnight between Groesfaen Colliery and Pengam. It is not the usual ''cub" style coaches, but up to date with "cushioned seats and glass windows." What is more, it runs to time, thanks to the manager, Mr. H. Thomas, who is most particular that it does. The workmen at the above colliery some time ago pledged themselves to better and more constant work. The train should be a help—instead of arriving at the colliery tired out. after an. hour to asn hour and a quarter's walk, you arrive now at the colliery fresh and ready to do your bit. But it lies wth the workmen whether the carriages will be kept in a good condition; let us hope there will be no "horse play" and "brainless behaviour." OBITUARY.—We regret to announce the death from pneumonia, after ai very short illness, of Mr. Walter Williams, of 86 Gilfach Street, Bargoed, who died on Saturday last (the 19th instant). Deceased, who was 61 years of age, was a native of Carmarthenshire, and came to Bargoed some ten years ago, where he has resided since. He was a deacon of the Bethania Welsh Methodist Chapel, where he was held in high esteem. The funeral took place in the Gelligaer Churchyard on Thursday. Our sympathy goes out to our Comrade Owen Wil- liams (son) and to the other mem bers of the family in their bereavement. A CENTRE OF CULTURE.—The "Pioneer Com- mittee," Bargoed, has organised a discussion class, which sits after it has disposed of its or- dinary business. The first paper was given this week by Mr. Maurice PUzGibbon, the indefati- guablo "Pioneerite," and Vice-Chairman of the Bargoed Steam Ooal Lodge, on "The Indiffer- ence of-the Working Class." Mr. FitzGibbon miade out an excellent case, and in the keen discussion which followed, ably defended the position he had adopted. We shall publish the paper next week, when we hope our readers will call upon Mr. FitzGibbon to still further de- fend his position. Next week Comrade Billie Jones (Bargoed House Coal) will take one of the articles of the "Pioneer," and defend its arguments.

Electric Theatre. "The Eternal City," by Hall Caine, drew extraordinary houses to the Electric during the first three days of the week. It was pronounc- ed by everyone as being one of the most re- markable suojects ever exhibited in Merthyr. On Thursday night again the house was packed by reason of the great attraction, "Bu- siness is Business," one of Sir Herbert Trees greatest successes. In the film Nat Goodwin, America's chief dramatic star, takes the role of Isidore Leohat, the vulgar but shrewd fi- nancier, whose attitude towards all things social as well as commewcial-rs summed up in the phrase, "Business is Business." It is a part worthy of a great actor; a feharaoter study which, to be convincing, demands attention to the smallest detail. The play is admirably pro- duced the photography and' settings being of a very high standard. The play alternates bet- ween comedy, satire and grim tragedy. By no means should anyone miss the opportunity of seeing such a masterpiece. In addition there are several dramas, comics and a most interesting subject showing the Submarine Warfare—a To- pical which is new. This subject alone is wartlly of a visit, and gives us an insight to the great work our men are doing daily on the waters. On Monday Mi-. Bowen has secured at en- ormous expense, Augusta Evans- Wilson's novel adaptation, "Infelice." She is or was a prac- tised writer of that type of book, which even the strictest mother need not be afraid to place in the hands of a daughter. Infelice was produced in England and purchased by Moss' Empires (Ltd.). The staging is skilful, and the photography perfect. The acting of Peggy Nyland and Fred Paul needs no com- ment; in fact, every one excels in his or her part. The old problem of two men and a women provides the interest of the opening scenes. The woman is Minnie Merle, who lives with her grandmother in a secluded vil- lage. One of the men is Peleg Peterson, the wood carver. A life-long companionsihp with 'the girl has bred in him certitude of making her his wife some day. He might have had his way but for the appearance of Quthbert Lawrence, college student, whose courtship car- ried him on with greater spirit, and ends in a secret marriage at the village church, of which Peleg subsequently learns by accident. The desire for revenge leads, and is portrayed right throughout the remaining story, which should 'be followed next week at the Electrio Theatre. On Thursday next a soul-stirring story, "No Greater Love," is the exclusive picture. Woman, beautiful and attractive, but incomprehensible to the end, has always been the central figure in every dramatic episode since the days when drama first took itself into shape and form. And so long as human nature is what it is, it will always be the same old story" Few film plays contain a, more captivatingand alluring figure than the woman in Mr. Le Queu's latest essay in this direction, entitled "No Greater Love." The character of Sadunah, the dancer, is a creation that stands out in sharp contrast to many figures so often seen upon the stage and screen. She is a woman who possesses a mind of her own and sufficient force of charac- ter to carry all before her, and as represented by Mdlle. Reina Badet. we have an object les80n of mother love which is sublime. This great French actress gave us a splendid exam- ple of her genius in the remarkable film "Zoe" two years ago. But we venture to pre- dict tha-t her latest creation will make a greater impression upon the minds of picture goers next week at the Electric Theatre. Mr. Bowen will have something to tell his patrons shortly with reference to his bookings, which, by the way, are quite ektraordinary-no atone being left uxturned to secure the best attractions for his theatre-& fact which is appreciated by kis patrons.

ABERDARE. FFOKCHAMAN MEN, SUPPORT AMBULANCE SCHEME.-After hearing the report of the last Cardiff Conference, the miners employed at the Fforehaman Colliery have decided to recomm- end to another mass meeting that they support the joint scheme proposed by the miners and coalowners to contribute towards establishing and supporting motor ambulances for the wounded soldiers atb the front. At the same time, the meeting recognised that it was the duty of the Government to do these things, and that steps should be taken in this direction a long time ago. LECTURE.—Mrs. Philip Snowden delivered a lecture to a large and appreciative audience at Carmel Baptist Chapel last Monday night on "The Poetry of Democracy." Had Miss Cook, who ably presided* known the trend of the lec- ture, perhapie the meeting would not have started on the note it did, seeing tha,t, poetry was to follow. Commencing with a figure from Dante we were led from the ever-present nightmare that now besets us, to a contempla- tion of the proper meaning of Democracy and the relation of poetry to mankind. A large pat't of the time was taken up in reciting and reading inspiring extracts from Browning, Milton, Burns. Whitman, Whittier, Lowell and Tennyson in such a charming manner, aRd with such wedding of voice modulations to sense that even the longest extracts of blank vee and of Whitman were sheer "Joy, ship- mate, joy I" The introductions to the various quotations were most illuminating, and attuned our ears and mind to be ready to receive what was so mellifluously tendered. The outward semblance of the fare was admirable, but we felt sure that somewhere in the uast the ghosts of the authors were enjoying the cleverness which made such ap,t use of their flowing periods to supply am illuminative comment on men and movements of our day.

t YSTRADGYNLAIS I LOCAL SUCCESSES .—Mr. Lewis Thomas, Crown Cottages, was suceessful in winning the prize for the tenor solo at llhiwfawr Eisteddfod on Saturday last. He also came second in the champion solo.—Mr. Gwilym Jones, Station Itoad, won the baritone solo, and then follow- ed up this achievement by capturing the cham- pion solo. Both the above are ardent members of the Ystradgynlais I.L.P. SWANSEA HOSPITAL BOARD—Mr. Tom L. Thomas, oheckweigher at Yniscedwyn Colliery, has been appointed on the Swansea Hospital Board of Management. FOOTBALL MATCH.—An interesting Association football match was played at Maesydderwen last Saturday, when the, local Boy Scouts op- posed a scratch team picked from the County School. A well-contes& game resulted in 'a win for the School by 3 goals to nil. Scorers— Fred Phillips (2) and R. Guy Dawes (2). PRESENTATION CONCERT.—On Friday last Mr. W. E. Jones presided at a concert held under the auspices of the local Patriotic Presentation Committee at Penrhos. It was a most successful gathering, and Private Brychan Richards (of Caerbont), in whose honour the concert was held, was presented with a purse and medal. The Revs. James Jones, Pipe and others ad- dressed the meeting. ABERCRAVE I.L.P.—A party of Ystradgynlais I. L. Peers journeyed to Abercrave last Monday evening to help appellants against undertaking military service to fill their forms, and to ex- plain as far as they could the terms of the Act. A large number of young men attended and a vote of thanks to the speakers was passed. A resolution asking the Local Tri- bunal to hold its meetings in the evenings, so as to obviate the necessity af workmen losing their work, was passed unanimously. EXHUMATION .-The remains of Madame Vi- deo, a lady's maid to Baroness Cederstrom of Oraig-y-nos, were disinterred on Tuesday last, and sent to -France for re-burial. The deceased lady was buried at Callwen Churchyard, Ab- ercrave, about seven months ago, although she had stated in her will her desire to be laid to rest in France,. It seems that the necessary arrangements could not be completed satisfacto- rily at the time of her death but have been settled now. A party of Ystradgynlais I.L.Peers on a fishing expedition to Aber- crave, helped the Home Office representative and sexton to raise the remains. R fi

CWMTWRCH I COLLIERY FATALITY—A fatal accident oc- curred at the Giiwen Colliery, Cwmtwrch, on Tuesday last, resulting in the death of Mr. Dafydd Owen, aged 23, a son of Mr. Dyfrig Owen and a brother to Mr. W.

Great Workers' Meeting at Pengam. FRANK HODGES AND THE SPURIOUS PATRIOTISM OF CAPITAL. Mr. Frank Hodges, miners' agent, addressed a largely attend meeting in the Cinema Palace, Pengam, on Sunday last. His subject was "Tuedes Unionism and the War." He pointed out that at the outbreak of war assurances were given by the various Trades Unions not to encourage strikes or perpetuate industrial fric- tion of any kind during the war. But when the capitalists saw in war time an excellent op- portunity of making fabulous profits, the wor- kers naturally grew restive, and became de- termined to obtain an increase in wages. He exposed the parrot cry of patriotism of the ca- pitalists, particularly so when the coalowners voluntarily offered a 10 per cent. increase to the colliers on condition that no new agreement would be demanded-this he pointed out, would have meant at least an increase of about 2 to 21 millions in profits. He pointed out the vi- cious intentions of those behind the Conscrip- tion Bill and referred to the fact that the power invested in the Triple Alliance could, if used. repeal the Act in a very short time. He urged upon the workers to immediately set ab- out perfecting their organisations to be roody for the fight which will appear on the termi- nation of the war. A considerable number of questions were ask- ed. the answers to which called forth hearty applause. The Pengam miners intend holding the" meetings on alternate Sundays, and it is hoped that they will have the effect of stimulating more interest in Trades Unionism. These meetings are open to all, including ladies.

Conning Into Money. STAGE-STRUCK CARDIFF GIRL ARRES- TED AT MERTHYR. May Pritchard (18), of Cardiff, was charged at Merthyr Police Court on Tuesday with steal- ing 2/ the property of Mrs. J. Tindall. Prosecutrix said on Friday last defendant came to her house and engaged a sitting room and. bedroom, stating that she was a theatri- cal. She stayed overnight and prosecutrix miss- ed the money after she went. On seeing defen- dan-t later in the da- dant later in the day near the railway station witness asked her about the 2/ and defendant subsequently admitted taking it and gave her 1/6. Detective D. Davies said he arrested defend- ant, and in reply to the charge she said, "I did take it and I owe the lady 9d. I am hard up; that is the reason I took it." Defendant now expressed her regret, and said it would never happen again. Chief Constable Wilson said the girl had be- come "stage struck," She took money from her mother and went to Newport, where she bought expensive clothes, but when she arriv- ed in Merthyr she was stranded. Her grand- father held a very responsible position at Car- diff, and one of these days," added the Chief Constable, "she will come into a con- siderable amount of money." Hitherto she had borne a good character. In binding defendant over for 6 months, the Stipendiary (Mr. R. A. Griffith) advised her to find some homest occupation that would keep her out of temptation.
