MINERS' NIGHT SHIFT.
MINERS' NIGHT SHIFT. Judge O'Connor Meets Both Sides at Bournemouth. Another stage towards the settlement of the dispute between the South W^les col- liers and the coalowners was reached on Saturday, when the Board of Trade's appointed "peacemaker"—Judge Arthur O'Connor, K.C., met the representatives of the owners and the men at the Imperial Hotel, Bournemouth. His Honour was appointed to act as conciliator by the President of the Board of Trade The representatives, who included six from the Owners' Association and five from the Miners' Federation, arrived in Bournemouth on Friday, and most of them spent the week-end in the Ever- green Valley." The inquiry commenced punctually at 10.30 behind closed doors and, with only a brief interval for lun- cheon, lasted until close on seven o'clock in the evening, when an official statement, which was said to represent both parties. was i:-sued to the Press by Mr. Finlay A. Gibson. The owners were represented by the fol- lowing members of the South Wales Coal- owners' Association: Mr. Hugh Bramley, Mr. Evan Williams, Mr. T. H. Deakin, Mr. W. Stewart, Mr. Alfred Tallis, and Mr. Finlay A. Gibson (secretary). The members of the Miners' Federation were Mr. James Winstone (President). Mr. Al- fred Onions, Mr. Vernon Hartshorn, Mr. George Barker, and Mr. Evan Thomas (assistant rec rotary). OFFICIAL STATEMENT. The following was the official statement handed to the PressThe Conciliation Board for the coal trade of Monmouth- shire and South Wales have had under consideration for some time past the fol- lowing demands of the workmen's repre- eentatives, which, they contend, arise under the terms of the new Conciliation Board agreement(1). That ostlers partly employed on afternoon shift and partly employed on night shift should be paid a honus turn (2), That the hours of work on the, Sunday night, shift shall be si;, hours, or if men work an eight hour shift they shall be paid at the rate of a turn and a half: (3), That rates of pay- ment in exceas of these contained in the Conciliation Board's agreement shall be separate for certain classes of surface craftsmen employed at the collieries. The Board having been unable to agree to these demands the workmen's representa- tives informed Mr. Runciman (the President of the Board of Trade) of the position that has arisen, and urged him to deal with the matters. Mr. Runci- man informed the owners and the workers' representatives that he had appointed liis Honour Judge Arthur O'Connor, K.C.. to inquire into the questions and act as conciliator. The three questions under dispute were fully discussed and argued. Judge O'Connor had no power to give a deci- sion as an arbitrator, having only been appointed by the Board of Trade as can- ciliator. At the conclusion of the pro- ceedings his Honour made certain sug- gestions to the owners and the workmen's representatives with a view to settling the difficulties which have arisen. These suggestions will now be considered by the owne rs' and workmen's representa- tives. A hearty vote of thanks was accorded Judge O'Connoit at the cl ose. THE FIVE PER CENT. INQUIHY. Judge O'Connor intimated to the repre- sentatives that be would give his award on tile 5 per cent, question towards the end of the present week.

ON THE CYMRIC. I Aberavon Fireman Among I the Survivors. There has just arrived home at Aber- avon Fireman Leyshon Williams, who was on board the s.s. Cymric when she was torpedoed. The rescued man is a mem- ber of a well-known local family, being the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Williams, 131, Water-street, Aberavon. A few minutes before the torpedo struck, the third engineer remarked to Williams, Well, Taff, we are nearly home again."

Williams was attired only in a pair of dungaree trousers and vest, as shown in the photo- graph. The men were clothed by the White Star representatives, and at Liver- pool were given an ovation by a large crowd. With typical British pluck, Wil- liams is still anxious to go to sea to assist his country.

A SPLENDID MAN." Fine Tribute to the Rev. H. C. Mander. What a splendid man your chaplain is in France," said an Anglican gentleman t,o the Piev. T. H. Shakespeare. The Presi- dent. of tlip Xatiollal Free Church Council made inquiries and found thaih this chap- lain, who marched with the men, and was liked by officers and rank and file, I thought I was Captain Mander. I. thought I would like to tell you that your minister is doing such fine work and is liked by the officers and men." said Mr. Shake- spear to the congregation at Mount Plea- sant, Swansea, on Sunday morning, this being the church's 91st anniversary. In the course of further remarks Mr. Shake- spear paid an excellent tribute to fine work the Nonconformist Chaplains were doing who had been sent out by the United Board. The church parades were largely attended, and their minister wa.s one of the many who were doing work that was of incalculable value, the fruits of which would never be known in time, and would only be realised in eternity. It caused him some anxiety to sr-nd the pastor of Mount Pleasant to the front, but he re- joiced to hear that the congregation was loyal to the cause and were carrying on the good work in his absence.

ROSE FROM THE RANKSI
ROSE FROM THE RANKSI Lieutenancy for Grammar School Old Boy. Six days after the declaration of war with Germany Mr. James Hubert Wad- dington enlisted. After seven months' training he left the camp and went to the trenches. By his consistant good conduct he reached non-commissioned rank, and now comes the news that the Field Officer Commanding in France has thought fit to give him a lieutenancy. The new lieutenant is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Waddington, of Britonferry House, Britonferry. He was educated at the Grammar School, Swan- sea, his native place, and his promotion will be hailed by the old boys with much satisfaction.

Waddington is a nephew of Capt. Hodgens, of the Marine Service, and mar- riage ties connect him with Lieut. John Hodgens. He is now attached to a Welsh battalion.

NEW MINERS' AGENTS. I
NEW MINERS' AGENTS. I Induction Meeting at I Gorseinon. A mass induction meeting was held by the miners of the Western District at the Institute, Gorseinon, on Saturday, when public recognition was given to the ap- pointment of Mr. D. R. Grenfell as miners 'agent, and to Mr. D. J. Williams as sub-agent. Mr. John Williams, M.P., occupied the chair, and he was supported by Councillor J. J. James, Cwmgoree, Mr. S. D. Davies, Tumble, Mr. W. J. Jone,, (" Gwilym Bedw"). Birchgrove. The Chairman said induction meetings in the mining industry were a new order of things, but now they had been initiated he hoped they would continue. Both appointments had been made on democratic lines, and in their new agent they would find an attitude of sympathy blended with powers of dis- crimination which would go a long way to brighten whatever lustre there was al- ready attached to the office of miners' agent. Mr. D. R. Grenfell and Mr. D. J. Wil- liams responded. Mr. W. J. Jones (" Gwilym Bedw ") paid tribute to the qualification of both in poetical verses. Mr. S. O. Davies, Tumble, delivered an address in English followed by Councillor J. J. James, Cwmgorse, in Welsh. THE IRISH QUESTION. I At the request of the local committee, the following re-solution was submitted to the meeting and passed with few dissen- tients That this meeting disapproves of the action of the Government in executing the Irish rebels after trial by court martial, and urge that no further execu- tions by court martial shall take place prior to a full public enquiry into the Irish question, as promised by the Prime Minister." Qxiestioned as regards his conduct in the House of Commons, Mr. John Williams stated that ill-health prevented his ap- pearance at W estminster this session, but in the last session his vote on matters per- taining to Compulsory National Ser- vice had always been registered in accordance with Labour principles. Votes of thanks were proposed by Mr. William Williams, and seconded by Mr. David Morgan. Mr. David Morris acted as secretary to the Local Committee.

There is a ring of truth about this terse and pithy phrase which should surely appeal to all who suffer from deranged digestion. If Beecham's Pills are "the very thing" for others does it not follow that they might be good for you? Then why not put them to the test2 It would certainly seem that a medicine which has been such a pronounced success in so many cases is worth a trial. Beecham's Pills act firstly upon the great organs of the digestive system-stomach liver and bow- els. They tone up the stomach, impart healthy action to the liver and gently srim- ulate the bowels to perform their important work easily and satisfactorily.
