WEST MONMOUTH LIBERALISM.…
WEST MONMOUTH LIBERALISM. ORGANISATION RESUSCITATED. A well-attended meeting in connection with the movement for the resuscitation of the Liberal 500 for West Monmouthshire was held at Nantyglo on Thursday evening, Mr Robert Thomas, New Tredegar, presiding. After reports of meetings held in various parts of the constituency had been given, Mr E. C. Grylls, Abertillery, moved that a Liberal 500 be formed for the division.—Alderman G. R. Harris, Nantyglo, in seconding, said there was a desire in the constituency for a new Five Hundred. In reviewing the past, they had to apologise for the nothing policy." When the present member for the division was selected it was as Liberal- Labour, but a change had taken place, although the Liberals had been faithful to the pledge. Almost the last words the late Sir William Har- court uttered to him were, Let us work as long as we can for the old cause, which is the legacy left to us." Alderman Harris said he hoped they would decide at that meeting to support the strongest Liberal Government that had ever been in power. Mrs D. J. Vaughan, Tredegar, said she was not a militant or of the volunteer army, but a con- verted Ulster woman. As she had lived in Ulster for many years they would understand that her ideas of English Liberalism were not very high while she remained there. Since she had been in South Wales, however, she had found that Liberalism had been grossly misrepresented, and she had to confess when visiting her old Ulster home that for bigotry and intolerance they had to go to the Orangemen. She btlieved that if Mr Asquith held firm to his policy everything would be right in the end. Speaking of the con- stituency she said West Monmouth was in her opinion, a Liberal seat handed over to Labour. They had to work for success, as victory came to those who worked and not to those who waited. The resolution was carried unanimously. It was decided to;invite Major-General Sir Ivor Herbert, Bart., M.P., to become president; Mr T. F. Salt, Abertillery, was elected chairman Mr Ebenezer Thomas, Tredegar, hon. secretary and Mr Alfred Jones, J.P., Ebbw Vale, treasurer. A sub-committee was also appointed to con- sider the draft constitution.
SOUTH WALES MINERS' FEDERATION.
SOUTH WALES MINERS' FEDERA- TION. A meeting of the Executive Council of the South Wales Miners' Federation was held at Cardiff on Monday, Mr W. Brace, M.P., being in the chair, supported by Mr James Winstone, J.P., the vice-president, and Mr Thomas Richards, M. P., the general secretary. Mr Richards, in his official report, said that a deputation at- tended from the Brynteg, Seven Sisters, and Onllwyn Collieries, where the work- men were idle in consequence of the refusal of the management to allow the check- weighers to accompany deputations in deal- ing with disputes. The deputation placed beiore the Council the details of the matter and the workmen's representatives subse- quently raised the matter at the joint meet- ing, where the owners' representatives stated that they had no information upon the matter in dispute, but promised to immediately communicate with the com- pany and let Mr Richards know the result. Mr Enoch Morrell and Mr D. Morgan were appointed by the workmen's represen- tatives to go and interview the manage- ment for this purpose. A dispute at the Bryncethin Colliery, where the workmen have been given notices in consequence of a dispute respect- ing a price list, was relagated to Mr Hart- shorn for investigation and report. A dispute at the Birch Rock Colliery with respect to the introduction of safety lamps was referred to Mr C. B. Stanton for investigation, and the question of notices to terminate contracts having been tendered by the owners of the Rock Colliery, Neath, was relegated to Mr J. D. Morgan for in- vestigation and report. Mr Manning and Mr C. B. Stanton were instructed to seek another interview with the management of the Llanbradach Col- liery with regard to the price list dispute, and to report to the Council the result, with a view to the Council considering the matter of rendering the workmen financial assistance.

THEFT OF CHARITY BOXES AT…
THEFT OF CHARITY BOXES AT GILFACH. WORKMEN'S CLUB RANSACKED. At the Bargoed Police Court on Friday Morgan Evans, haulier, and William Llewellyn (16), labourer, of Gilfach, were charged with breaking and entering the Workmen's Club, Gilfach, and stealing therefrom two collecting boxes contain- ing about .£2 12s. Od. in bronze, three bottles of whisky, one bottle of gin, and a bottle of brandy valued altogether at J63 14s. 6d. Henry Llewellyn, steward of the Gilfach Work- men's Club, of which the trustees were David Buxton and Wm. Shaw, said he locked up the club at 11.30 on the 4th March when everything was safe, and on going there the next morning he found that the bolts of the back door had been forced open, and that things had been disturbed indide, and two boxes missing and a drawer smashed. One of the missing boxes was the Car- diff Infirmary box which had contained about X2. The contents of the box were counted every three months. When opened two months ago the con- tents then taken out amounted to 22 6s. Od. Another missing box was the Fire Brigade's Widows and Orphans box, which he estimated by its weight to have contained at least 12s. The articles mentioned in the charge and the other articles in the way of spirits were also missing. The value of the spirits was 91 2s. 6d. The pri- soner, Morgan Evans, was admitted a member of the club on the 3rd March and was received as a man of good character. P. Sergt Folland said that he arrested Morgan Evans on the 15th March at 137, Park Place, Gilfach, and took him to the Bargoed Police Sta. tion, where, in reply to the charge made, he said, I admit all. I burnt the boxes and we drank the spirits." On the 16th, witness said he received Wm. Llewellyn into custody from the Cardiff police, and when charged Llewellyn said, I was not at the club, I was in bed. I heard someone counting money in the kitchen and got out of bed and went downstairs and was given a couple of shillings to say nothing." Witness fur- ther said he had received .£1 3s. lid. from a tin in the pantry of Evans' house, and la. 5d. also that was in his pockets. Morgan Evans pleaded guilty and was sent for trial at the next Quarter Sessions. The charge against Llewellyn was dismissed. The same prisoners were then charged with breaking and entering a lock.up shop at Gilfach and stealing a side of bacon, a tin of herrings, a tin of sardines, and a tin of salmon, a pound of tobacco, fourteen packets of cigarettes and four- pence in bronze, valued altogether at A3 Is. 4 £ d., and with receiving the goods knowing them to have been stolen on the 13th March. Percy Randolph Morris, manager of the India and China Tea Co., 53, Park-place, Gilfach, said that on the 12th March he locked up the shq.,) at 1.30 and left everything secure. On going into the premises at 8 o'clock the next morning he found that the back door had been burst open, and the glass of the door leading from the store-room into the shop had been smashed; the safe had been removed from its position and on examining his stock he found the articles mentioned in the charge to be missing, and that the till had been opened and 4d. taken out. Witness then gave information to the police. Some of the articles produced in Court witness identified as part of the missing atock. P. Sergt. Folland gave evidence of arrest as in the pre- vious case, and said that when charged Evans said, "I have nothing to say." Llewellyn said, "I did not go into the shop, I was in the lane watching and I carried some of the things away." Witness said he recovered the missing articles from the pantry in Morgan Evans' house. On this charge both prisoners were sentenced to take their trial at the next Quarter Sessions.

I BEDWELLTY URBAN COUNCIL.
I BEDWELLTY URBAN COUNCIL. The ordinary meeting of the members of the Bedwellty Urban Council was held on Tuesday at which there were present Messrs S. Godwin, J.P. (chairman), L. Watkins (vioe-chairman), W. Bufton, J. Bevan, Edgar Davies, J. Tillott, J. Crewe, R. J. Jones, P. Lloyd, T. P. Williams, J. Coleman, with Mr T. J. Thomas (clerk), Mr J. Tyrer (deputy clerk), Mr D. H. Price (surveyor), Mr Richards (collector), Mr F. Hynam (sanitary inspector). HOUSING OF THE WORK IWO CLAssme.-The seal of the Council was affixed to a receipt for X.2,332 being the fourth instalment for the Public Works Loan Commissioners, and making a total of .812,680 advanced in respect to the Housing of the Working Ciassss Act. Councillor Edgar Davies having drawn attention to the fact that the time had elapsed for the completion of the Council's houses at Twynffald, it was decided to convene a special meeting and that the architect (Mr Beddoe Rees) be requested to attend. A CORRECT MINUTB.—Mr R. J. Jones contested the correctness of a minute recording a resolution on the minutes to the effect that better terms be asked from the Rhymney and Aber Gas Co., for the supply of gas, in order to strengthen the Council's hands in fighting those people who wanted to bring the electric light into the dis- trict. Mr R. J. Jones averred that no such resolution had been passed, but that someone out. side had got hold of the minutes of the Council and were being banded about for their own purposes. How could such a resolution have been passed, for they had an application from Aberbargoed to support the electric light for the sake of get- ting competition in the district and then that a council of wise men to pass such an idiotic reso- lution was inconceivable.—The Clerk said that the resolution was passed at the January meeting and was to ask the Rhymney and Aber Gas Oo. to make an extra effort the following month to give a better supply of gas.—The subject then dropped. ISOLATION HOISPITAL.-The Surveyor said that tenders had been invited for the erection of two additional wards to the Isolation Hospital, and recommended that a committee be appointed to deal with them.—It was decided to appoint one member from each ward for the purpose. COLLECTOR'S STATEMENT.—The Collector re- ported that during the last month he had collec- ted .41,300 leaving A194 uncollected. On the Argoed cottages Jill 3s. Od. had been collected in respect of rentals leaving a considerable amount outstanding. Mr W. Bufton: Who are the owners of these housesP-The Clerk: The Bedwellty Urban District Council.—Mr W. Bat. ton I question that myself.—The Clerk: I can show you the deeds.—Mr Bufton said that it was alleged that the contractor had been bowled over before tha signing of the agreement The matter was left in abeyance. PLANs.-The following plans were approved :— House and shop, Gordon.road, Blackwood; house, Cefn-road, Blackwood, for Mr E. Lewis a stable, Hill-street, Blackwood, for Mr Sydney Jones; 12 houses near Markham's Colliery, HoUybush, for the Abernant Building Syndicate; five shops and premises, Tredegar-road, HoUybush, for Mr T. James. Pontllantraith. THE BUI)OBT.-The estimates for the ensuigg half-year were considered and led to very stub- born ward contentions, each member standing up for the ward he represented on the proposall made. There was in particular rivalry between Pengam and Aberbargoed over an amount of 2160 proposed to be spent in Commercial-street, Pengam, Mr L. Watkins and Mr R. J. Jones con. sidered that Pengam had had very much money spent on its needs, whereas Aberbargoed had been neglected. Mr Watkins moved that the 4160 be deleted from Pengam and applied to the acquir- ing of a site opposite the Duffryn Hotel, which at present was an eyesore. Mr R. J. Jones seconded.—Mr Edgar Davies strongly opposed this and to meet the matter suggested the divid- ing of the amount between the two place s. Ulti- mately it was agreed to graat 08100 toward the site at Aberbargoed and :160 for Commercial. street, Pengam. Other items in the estimate were considered, but the final decision on the matter was deferred to a special meeting on Thursday. AN INCREASE.—On the recommendation of the Finance Committee it was decided to increase tke wages of the Council's ilamplighters and also the wages of the Council's ostler. SHOPS HOURS ACT.—Mr Gravenor, the Shops Inspector, reported upon the number of visits he had made during the month to the Council's area. His work, however, was much handicapped in the Sirhowy Valley by reason of the fact that the closing order had not been put in force. He asked the Council that this should be done, and to leave out from the Order Fish, Fruit, and Con- fectionery trades, which were the only trades that had not yet agreed to stipulated hours —Reply- ing to one of the members the Inspector said they could not coerce these people to fix their hours, but the Council could make a Closing Order for 11 o'clock on Saturday nights.— It was decided to make an Order accordingly. ACCBBS ROAD AT ARGOED.—Mr P. L. Lloyd drew attention to the need of making provision in the present Estimates for the access road at Argoed. The Clerk stated that nothing definite had been received from the L. & N. W. Rly. Co. Mr Lloyd and Mr Bufton pressed that the matter should be dealt with as it had oocupied the attention of the Council for so many years. It was finally decided to consider this matter in connection with the Estimates on the following Thursday at the special meeting for that purpose. POTATO EPIDEMIC.—A letter was read from the secretary of the Aberbargoed Allotments Associa- tion complaining of the action of the Board of Agriculture in scheduling the Allotments at Aberbargued as an infected area under the Wart Disease of Potatoes Order, 1914. The letter stated that 85 members of the Association had h'eIi present when it was decided to appeal t" the District Council, to support the Association in c'' jpcting to the said action, as not a plct wu flfiected with the disease. Mr R. J. Jones sfvid that he had been much surprised to learn. that an inspector had been down, and that the object of his coming was to visit the P.D. Allotments, and that on him asking where they were he was direotedito thelcouneills Ällot. ments, Mr Jones said that this condemnation would make the allotments worthless to anyone, as it took away the right of the holder to plant what he liked and to make him plant what the Board of Agriculture liked. Here was one Government Department giving them power to plant and cultivate what they liked, and another department stepping in and saying you must plant the kind of potato we want. The Inspector had not seen any of the potatoes on this particu- lar allotmen4 but because a certain man's holding in Aberbargoed had got this Wart disease the whole had been condemned. He thought it was a matter which the Council should watch in the interest of the allotment holders, for if in planting what they liked after this notice it was found that the disease was present, they were subject to a penalty of 410. The Clerk was instructed to watch their interest,.
