I NOT CONVINCED. -————— .————— London Scientists and Welsh I Brothers. ABORTIVE STANCE. Mr. Will Thomas, of Gorseinon, and his brother Tom, oi Mertliyr, failed to convince, after a two hours' seance on Tuesday even- in £ the jury of scientists assembled in a darkened room at a London newspaper office that they could produce supernatural phenomena. The proceedings (writes a London corres- pondent) were remarkable enough, but the conditions were obviously unfavourable- any cynic would admit that—for we had ifce continuous disturbance uf street and printing office noises. White Eagle," the Indian spirit, which iiad Mr. Tom Thomas under control, told us that the conditions were bad, aud every body sympathised with the two brothers wao had so courageously accepted the chai- lenge to hold the seance before the tribunal of scientists and publicists. They kept the attention of their guests from four till six o'clocn, but though the spiritaalistically- minded of them were inclined to declare that positive proofs had been given those who went with an open mind were* unable to arrive at any such conclusion. Before the seance bee-an Tom Thomas was -.1 n?", StHp?ed ana searched, I- Auu ,viii t,,ie meaium, was also searched. ?iii Thomas sat in a wooden armchair, and he was tied. Will put his hands to- ?pth.?- in front of him, and had his thumbs \nd little fingers tied together ?ith string! and sealed. Will's legs were bound to the front legs of the chaiY with surgical bandage. His arms w»*e tied with string to the back {)t the ebair. The chair had previously heen screwed to the floor with iron angles. This excluded the possibility of the medium mov- ing the chair along to the corner where the and tambourines were. Will Thomas sat with his back to the wall at one end of the room. Tom sat opposite him at the other end. and the rest of the company sat on the left and right. The mediufn wore no collar, the neck cf his snirt was unbuttoned, a.nd he wore no waist- coat. Three Striking phenomena I were produced. The aim let which the me aium was wearing was thrown across the room and placed iu lroat of one of the tri- bunal. A button, cr badge, worn by the medium was thrown at the feet. of Dr. Wal- lace, and, tiuulh". the medium's braces were taken off him (tied to a chair and bound up, j as be was; and thrown across the kip of another of the sitters. One could not explain the thing; that were done, but they certainly did not prove be- yjnd doubt supernatural phenomena, though Uiey did c.reaie the impression that the Thomases are certainly not frauds. The whole experiment (ttdds the cor- respondent! failed through the clumsiness of thoee who undertook the task of searching the medium. They could not all say for certain whether lie wore braces before the .:ea?ce staj't?d. or whether the ajmiet was r&lh' on hL- arm before we sat down.

"CERTAINTY." T — ■- i i ■ —■ Coal Commission Report by 20th. MEN DISPUTE OWNERS' FIGURES. There w.-48 x large attendance of the public when the Coal Commission resumed its de- libe^iions in London on Wednesday. Mi..Justice Sankey (chairman) announcer], that the Comniiasion was now fairlv abreast with its work, and, humanly speaking, the report by March 20th might bt regarded a., a certainty. Evidence was given on behalf of the min- ing Association of Great. Britain with the object of showing that, as compared with 1914, wages had approximately doubled last year, with a lower output. Figures were submitted by the owners to establish that a six hours' working day would have a still further reduced output bv 26.43 per cent. Labour Members' Protest. ijabour members of the Commission disputed the premises on which the cal- culations were made, both in regard to output, wages and costs, and they urged that time was being wasted. Chairman said the owners were en- titled to put their case before the Com- mission, and that interruptions would lengthen the proceedings. Mr. Ralph Richardson, giving evidence on behalf of the South Yorkshire Coal Owners' Association, said that if the nimers' demands were conceded it meant ?d it ineant Increase of just over 9s. 7d. per ton in wages. On the output the shortening of hours would also represent about Is. per ton. The oniv compensatory advan- tage would be a slightly better attend- ance of workmen. If the worknwn's 1 antagonism to it ceased advantage might also be gained from coal-cutting machin- j erv. SURFACEMEN'S CLAIMS. The Executive of the National Council, of Colliery Workers continued their negotia- tions in London on Wednesday with a view to obtaining a settlement of the claims of the colliery surface workers, inciuding enginetnen.

CENTRAL AGENCY. I Important Proposal Before I I Tinplate Trade. Widi regard to the proposed establish- ment of a central tinplate selling agency in London—which matter has been fully dealt with in the Daily Post —it is understood that the matter will come forward lor fur- ther consideration at the usjual monthly meeting of the tinplate manufacturers, at Swansea, on 20th inst. The project is the outcome of t.he unsettled feeling which exists in the industry and the hesitation of raanu- factureis to incur expenditure for the im- provement of piaut and the increase of out- put. Before the war the 500 or so Welsh tinplate miljf used on an average 25,000 tons of steel per week, representing an output oi about 1,300,000 tons of tinplates, of which nearly one-half was exported. Sir.ce 1913 the L'r.iied States hm dotibled her output. which is practically equal to. if not in exce's of the British figure. In 1917 she crooned over 250.000 tons, or more than treble the amount shipped in 1913. In Japan, India and other places manufacturing plants have been set up. As already indicated in the l'ost," the J after the war tir,plate competition will see America in a very strong poaitiotr, and it is realised that to successfully hold their own and to expand their trade lite Welsh tin- plate maliers will have to develop their pro- duction and selling organisation on more definite and concentrated lines. hile it is understood several tinplate makerH are in favour of the proposa.! there are othej. opposed. Merchants are viewing the proposal with some concern, as the pro- posal closely affects their interests.

I "SOMEONE BLUNDERED/' j Councillor's Criticism and the I L la nelly Bill. At a special hieethig of the LlanelJy Bor- ough Council on Tuesday, the flavor (Court. Dan J.P.) presiding, the Town Clerk (Mr. H. W. Spowart) pre.sented his repor-t illl the proceedings before the Ex- aminer of Standing Orders Committee. House of Commons, on the Uanelly non-compliance with Standing Orders. He said the Committee had defideJ not to dis, pense with the Standing Orders, and with regard to the Bill they were therefore mon. or less hung up. The Lord Chan vllor, how- ever, would give facilities tu depusit late Bills if the schemes would tind em pleytiiei^t for a large number of people. As the Lianeliy Bill cajne within tint category, the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the House had decided to grant leave for that purpose. Ald. Nathan Griffiths said that someone had blundered badly over the business, arid the ratepayers had to bear the cost. He proposed that the Council should proceed with the waterworks p3.rt of the Bill And drop the extension of the borough boundaries. The May_>r suggested that the Corporation should consult mUnufactTsrers upon the necessity of a larger storage of water. Councillor T. Jennings moved that the Corporation siiould not proceed with any portion of the Bill for the present Session, j and Councillor D. R. Jones seconded. The Chairman uf ttie Parliamentary Committee, Aid. D. James Davies, replied j to the criticism. He said the case was un- j answeraibde for immediate action for in- ¡ creasing .the water storage, and they should proceed with the extension of the borough boundaries through inquiry by the Local Government Hoard. Ll.tuoo,telr it was decided to adjourn the meeting until Friday night, when the I r/iiuiufactuxeri of the town will be invited I to be present. ]

MORE OFFICERS NOW. II Cost of Present Swansea j Force. At a special meeting of the Swansea J Watch Committee on Wednesday, Councillor Daniel Jones (chairman) presiding, the re- vised estimates were presented. The Borough Treasurer (Mr. Ashmole) ex- plained that in 1913-14 the wages cost of the police was S14.603; tod?y. according iu 1 the estimates, it was æ,173. Assuming j the men in the force were the samM to-day as id 1913-14, the cost would be ?27,592,'but j Únce then 48 extra men had been put on, l UMi their pay amounted to £ 8,832, whilst | .be allowances had gona ?p from 2100 to 'j 81,648.

The estimates had been reduced by 3.042. representing twenty constables, i vhich item the Chief Constabc: had knocked and other sums, bringing the total reduc- |" to about £ 5,000.
