HALL HAIDED AT CARDIFF! EMPHATIC AKSWETTO PEACE CRANKS I Cardiil, Saturday.—The protest in Car- diff last fil" ht against the peace con- ference to-day, in the city, was continued this afternoon by a large demonstration of citizens who, with bands playing patriotic airs and banners displaying patriotic niottoee, marched through the principal thoroughfares. It was originally intended the demonstrations should pass the Cory RaIl, where the peace conference was sitting, but to avoid possible disturb- ance this was prohibited by the police, and the prsionist8 were not allowed to get nearer than a quarter of a mile of the hall. A quarter of an hour before the start of the peace meeting at the Cory Hall, a huge procession started from the Park It was headed by several bands, promi- nent men from South Wales, and banners bearing the word, Fall In and Protest Against Fal?b Peace Agitations "Better Death than Dishonour Stick It, The Welsh," and Let not the Sacrifice of our Honoured Dead be in Vain." As the proceeeion parsed from the Park into St. Mary-street, a continuous roar of cheer- ing rang out. On the other hand, the peace workers were bringing to a head in the Cory Hall tke propaganda they have been so actively pursuing in South Wales for some time past. Down for discussion were industrial conscription, the maladministration of he Military Service Act and its repeal. ie invasion of personal liberties and peace negotiations. The building was crowded some time before the start, the feature of the gather- ing being the large number of young men and females. The time of waiting was whiled away y the singing of We'll Keep the Good Red Flag Flying," loud cheers and cries -of Good old Winstone," and Down with Stanton," were continuous, while the chairman (Mr. J. Winstono) stepped on the platform, followed by Mr. J. if. Thomas, M.P., Mr. Ramsay Macdonald, M.P., Mr. F. W. Jowett, and others. Despite the suggestion of many of my friends, I am still unrepentant," said the chairman, in opening the meeting. (Opposition cries of Shame.") Nor am I fearful or afraid," he went on. "II am fully persuaded that 1 am here doing: my duty in my own nation's interest an in the interest of humanity at large, While our boys are fighting Prussianism5 abroad we must not have it fastened upon us. At this stage there was loud cheering and jeering outside the building, and the heated feeling of the crowd indicated the i height to which the protest waa rising. You ought to be put in the :irst line of trenches," shouted a member of the audience, and be shot like the dirty dog you are." (bensation.) When Mr. J. H. Thomae, f P, vas called upon to speak, there followed a sequence of unparalleled scenes of dis- order. In spite of the police barrage outside a large crowd bmke througi the guard, pushed against the doors, and were met by the i.L.P.-ites and others crowded in the interior. There was fighting in the corridors. Women and children rushed madly to the hack of the building and those in front got into the street. Young children cried hysterically, and were eventually put on the platform. In spite of the appeal of the chairman to Sit I down and be quiet," the feeling of the protesters grew in intensity. The crowd bccame angry, and windows at the front of the building were smashed. The meeting was thrown into a state of great disorder, and within a few minutes, the crowd took possession of the meet- ing. Mr. Winston and party were compelled to leave the building guarded by police, and when they gut to the street there was; considerable booing and jeering. Stoiic-Gi were thrown, and the police had great; difficulty in keeping back the crowd and preventing serious consequences. But the! Winstone party eventually got away to a I place of safety. After the demonstration of protest held in the afternoon at Catlays, Mr. C. B. Stanton ad Capt, Tupper made an ap- peal for them, if necessary, to wreck the hall and to take the law into their own hands. Then the whole of. the procession rushed to the Cory Buildings, opposite the Tail station. Fighting continued in the interior for some time, and many noses were bleeding. One man had a cut on the head from a blow with a walking-stick and a number of eyes were blackened. A soldier who had lost his left arm at the front attacked one of the "peace folk," whilst another wounded soldier who had been gassed was overcome in the crowd, fainted, and was taken to the Y.M.C.A., which adjoins Cory Hall. As Mr. Winstone wasleaving the building cries of "Traitor" and Coward were raised. The police and friends encircled him and so great was the temper of crowd that they threatened to throw him into the river. But the police succeeded in getting him to a place of safety uninjured. During the progress of the riot, Mr. H. Hiles, hon. sec. of the peace meeting, was thrown into the roadway, and was escorted to the end of the terrace. He a p- peared to be badly hurt. The women speakers escaped from the building uninj ured, as also did Mr. Ram- say Macdonald, Mr. F. W. Jowett, and others.

LLANDOVERY COUNCIL. I On Thursday, Mr. J. C. V. Pryse-Rice was was appointed Mayor of Llandovery for the 12th year in succession. In pro- posing his re-election, AM. Jones referred to the excellent work down by the Mayor and Mayoress in helping to form, organis- ing and maintaining the Red Cross Hos- pital. Responding, the Mayor referred to Red Cross work, and mentioned that there were 146 hospital beds in the county. Mr. Charles Michael was unanimously M-appointed treasurer to the Corporation. The Mayor appointed Ald. T. Watkins as his deputy. The report of the Tolls Committee showed that the sales conducted by Messrs. John Davies and Co. at the Council Mart from November, 1915 to 19th of September, IMS—in all 23—totalled R26,257 13s. Id.. In moving the adoption of the report, A.M. Lev-is dwelt on the benefits that would accrue from the Council themselves ng now owners of the Cattle Mart, a t which would tend to lessen the rates this and future generations. He urged "is fellow members and the public outside to do their utmost to increase the tolls by seeing that thoso who brought eggs and farm produce to town took them to the market. Councilor Richard Thomas urged that the toll collector should be instructed, t^ warning them, to institute proceed- Ings against two or three of those who did not pay tolls when they brought goods into the town. That would soon make them I take their goods into the market, and sell in fair and onp.n competition. Alderman Thomas withdrew a motion referrine: to the Tonn footpath, the Coun- cil deciding that no further steps-be taken for the present, as pracHonlly everything asked for by the committee had been con- ceded.

WELSH MINING SUIT. Action Agairst a Glamorgan- shire Celery Co. The hearing was continued by Mr. Jus- tice Sargent in the Chancery Division, on Monday, of the action against Ynysamman Colliery Co., Ltd., of James- street, Pontardawe, and the liquidator, Geo. Brinley Bowen, of Salubrious Cham- bers, Swansea. Plaintiff, Wm. Burchall Rees, of Red Lion-passago, London, claimed £ 104 as arrears of rent and royal- ties, which, he said, was due by defend- ants as lessees of a colliery at Ynysdawel Farm, Llandilo Fawr, Carmarthenshire. Damages were also claimed for alleged breaches of covenant to repair the mine, and plaintiff further asked for a return 01 certain machinery that had been removed. Evidence for the defence was continued by E. O. Davies, mining engineer, and David Jeffreys, colliery manager, Ystaly- fera, with the object of showing that the mine was in a good state of repair, and that according to the usual practice, when the working was temporarily stopped, it was flooded so as to save expense, and that this method did no damage. After a lengthy summing up, the Judge said that having heard the evidence for the defendants, he must find in their favour. It was completely proved that in a mine of this description the roof of which consisted of clift or ittrated shale, water did not experience a prejudicial effect upon the workings and the timber, but to a certain extent acted as a pre- servative. If there wa.s any want of re- pair—which he did not think there was, it was merely of a temporary character, and might be made good when the mine began to work again. The plaintiff would have the rent paid into court, and any costs in regard to that, but there would be judgment for the defendants with the general costs of the action, and the order would be without prejudice to the right of the plaintiff to enter a claim in the liquidation in respect of future rent and liabilities under the lease and rent ac- crued since the date of the action.

LIVELY FFORESTFACH. Ratepayers' Meeting Develops Into a Personal Battle. Cnlfaiia Vestry, Fforestfach, was packed to its utmost capacity on Saturday even- ing, when a meeting was convehed by the Ratepayers' Association, at the instiga- tion of the District Council, to nominate candidates for co-option to replace District Councillors Rev. H. J. Stewart and James Jones, the retiring members. Councillor J. Davies (Bleak House) presided, and in his opening remarks proposed a vote of thanks to both rearing members. Mr. James Matthews seconded the proposition, which was unanimously supported. Mr. Jones, Middle-road (secretary of the Ratepayers' Association) read a.letter re- ceived from Mr. Edward Harris re the resignations, and requesting him to call a meeting of ratepayers to mako nomina- tions. There being a differenoe of opinion as to who should be allowed to vote, it was resolved to allow all householders. After a warm discussion, it was decided to reduce the nominations to two, and to vote by ballot. By this time the "tem- perature had risen to such a degree that Mr. T. D. Jenkins pointed out that as trustee of the chapel he could not allow personal remarks to be hurled about. Failing a discontinuance, he would be compelled to close the meeting and ask all present to leave. (Applause.) Five candidates were nominated, viz.: Messrs James Matthews, Thos. T. Thomas, Thos. Hopkins, John James and Trevor Hopkins. After a brief delay necessitated for the tellers to count the votes, the chairman announced the result, showing that the nominees were: Messrs. Thomas) Hopkins and James Matthews, with 69j and 55 votes rRspectivety.

IPONTARDAWE COUNCILI Extensive Landslide at Goare'rgrasg. I The fortnightly meeting of the Pontar- dawo District Council was held on Thure- day, Mr. Daniel Jones (vice-chairman) presiding. The engineer (Mr. John Morgan) re- ported that an extensive landslide had taken place on the hillside at Godre'r- graig above the springs which supplied part of Godro'rgraig and Ynismeudw. Unless something was done to divert the surface drainage above the landslide he (the engineer) was afraid that the water supply at that place would probably have to be abandoned. He bad written to the Ynieeedwyn estate agent asking for an appointment on the ground in order to arrive at some method to prevent further damage. The engineer also reported that the haulage of timber over the roads in the parish of Mawr had broken through the crust- of the roads between Salem end Velindre and also Gellyfeddan-road. It would take about 500 or 600 tons of metal- lin to effect the necessary repairs. Mr. David Lewis (Gwaun-cae-Gurwen) moved that in the interests of the public I lamp-posts and pavement corners should be whitewashed. There was also a dan- gerous pond in the district which was un- protected. Rev. Evan Davies: Lighten our dark- ness, we beseech thee. (Laughter.) During the discussion it was mentioned that the lamps in Ystradgynlais were allowed to remain lit by arrangement with the Chief Constable of Breconshire On the suggestion of the clerk, it was decided that a deputation should eeo Supt. Letheren in regard to the Pontar- dawe district.

I BODY FOUND IN DOCK. I An inquest was held at the Police Station, Swansea, on Saturday morning, by the Deputy Borough Coroner, on the body of Daniel McLoughlane, of Barra- meal, County Antrim, aged 17, an appren- tice on board the 8.6. Achillea, a Glasgow boat, whose body was picked up in tho King's Dock on Wednesday. Kiel McLoughlane father of deceased, gave evidence of identification, and said h, la&t saw his son alive about 14 months ago. He received a letter from deceased dated tha 23rd October, saying that he was in the best of health, and was leaving Swansea on the 25th for France. James Richard Jenkins, 2, Aylesbury- road, Brynmill, shipping clerk, said he paw McLoughlane on the night of the 25th keeping watch. The chief of the Harbour Police said the captain of the ship, on the 26th ulto., reported that a member of the crew, whom he bad sent on a message, was, missing. Grappling operations took place but without avail. The jury returned a verdict of "Pound I Drowned," and expressed sympathy with the parents.

I AN ALLEGED BRIBE. I At Carmarthen, on Saturday, Ann Per- kins. of the New Inn, Voelgastell, was smmoned for selling beer. through her son-in-law, during restricted hours, and also for attempting to bribe P.C. Roberts. Jno. Davies was summoned for supply- ing, and Wm. Davies for consuming. P.C. Roberts said that the landlady told him that she had just returned from Llanelly, and that she did not know what caused her son-in-law to do such a thing, adding, Don't report me this time; tak« this from me (showing witness two El Treasury notes). Mr. Howell Daviee: Do you know she will vigorously deny ever offering you any money?—But she did. Before proooeding with the defence, Mr Howell Davies submitted that on a point of law the case against John Davies must necessarily fail, as both could not be charged with selling. The Bench decided that the prosecution must elect which of the two charges of I selling they would proceed with. An ad- journment was granted.

2900-IN SOVEREIGNS. How gold was drawn from the banks in Devon and Cornwall, and has since been lying snugly in drawers or chests belonging to the rural inhabitants of the fa-r-we6t country is shown in the case ot a Devonshire morland farmer, who has just bought a small farm for 21,000. He paid 9900 in sovereigns, and the other hundred in silver! This sum, it appears, had been steadily accumulating for years, and the recent period of prosperity for the farmers resulted in the owner ob- taining the required capital in a very short period. It was, however, added to the store in a big chest, and there the greater portion had lain idle for years.

I TEACHERS' WAGES. I GLAMORGAN COUNTY ASSOCIATION MEET Ai- SWANSEA. I The half-yearly meeting of the Glamor- I gan County Teachers' Association (N. U.'jl > was hald at the Municipal ^econdar>" School, Swansea, on Faturcvay, Mr. U. T. Griffths, Swansea (President of the Asso- ciation) presiding. Referring to the sad bereavement of Mr. Roes Nicholas, Cwmavon, the Chairman moved that the secretary convey to him and his family the sympathy of the Asso- ciation in their sad bereavement. This was carried unanimously. A letter read from the York and District Association contained two very strong resolutions on the wages question. They had passed a resolution to the effect that in view of the fact that conditions after the war would not be favourable to the in- crease of salary, immediate application for increases of salary be made, 20 per cent. on all salaries under £ 150, and 10 per cent. over that sum. It was further resolved that the York Association were prepared to insist upon the grant of increases, and would oo-operate in any action by the Exe- cutive. J The Lindsay Association also sent on a resolution which asked that representa- tions be made to the Government direct and to have no further action with local authorities. Mr. Celfyn Williams reported that the Executive was moving in tho direction of getting what was asked for by the York and Lindsay Associations, and added that similar action will be taken as that taken by the railway executive to the Board of -In order to secure the grants— which represent a threat to down tools." Mr. Ilowells, Pentre, Ehoudda, was of opinion that a resolution passed by the local branch was desirable, and said that it was of no use to be, i n fighting on tb??z it was o i no use to begin nghting on thi? question unless they intended to take action to its fullest extent. Unless the Union was determined to take drastic action to obtain their demands, then it would be of no use talking about it at all. If the local authorities realised that the Union was in earnest, then the Union would be respected. He moved the following resolution:— "That the meeting welcomed the establish- ment by the National Executive of a national salary campaign, and pledges to support any action of the Executive deemed necessary for the obtaining of the increases of salaries. And that represen tations to the Board of Education for in- creased Parliamentary grants." This was seconded by Mr. T. Williams. Glvn-Neath, and supported by Mr. Howel North. Mr Slocum, Bridgend, moved an amend- ment to the effect that action be taken to obtain a bonus of 25 per cent. immediately, and not for an increase of salary. Mr. Evans, Neath, said he wanted a national movement, and not the bonus question. The resolution proposed by Mr. Howells, of Pentre, was put to the meeting, and was carried unanimously. Mr. Howells (Porth) wanted a strong independent action by the local branch, hut Mr. R. G. Price (Merthyr) strongly censured the independent action, and demanded action in consort with all the branches through the Executive. Mr. Howells then proposed that a com- mittee be established for the co-ordina- tion of the demands of all associations, and Mr. Williams and others opposed this, saying that the proposition would mean the duplication of effort. Put to the meeting, the resolution was defeated. The Secretary read a letter complain- ing that no representation was granted to the teachers at the functions held by the Mayor of Cardiff during the recent unveiling ceremonies, and the secretary contended that teachers were asked to do many things in connection with fetes, etc., but when national functions were held the teachers were ignored. Arising out of the report of the Sub- Committee on the Central Welsh Board pamphlet To-day and To-mcfrrow," Mr It. G. Price, Merthyr, said he thought a conference should have been called to consider the pamphlet. He thought that the Central Welsh Board should have brought out a To-day and To-morrow" on primary education in Wales. In the report the Sub-Committee criticised education in Germany, and yet further it urged the adoption of a simi- lar system in this country. He expected the committee to lift education higher than they did. They looked upon the child as a unit in a great commcrcial war after the present war. He thought that the standard should be that education was the development of character. The child was a human personality, and edu- cation should work for peace. The com- mittee talked of a commercial and scien- tific war which would bring to England supremacy in the worldJs markets, which. added the speaker, was what Germany had in view when they declared war. Mr. Tom John defended the committee by eaying that their object was co-ordina- tion. It was felt that the society should be in a position to bring forward some improvements for the period after the war. If we were to have a national edu- cation, then unity was essential between the various branches of education. He asserted that the committee had upheld the ideals of the first speaker. Some speakers wanted to do away with the preamble of the report of the Sub- committee, and Mr. Rhys Nicholas. supporting the insertion of the pre- amble, said it was necessary in view of the purposes underlying the recommenda- tions, which were to get a comprehen- sive enquiry into the education in Wales; and to approve of the establish- ment of a national council of education in Wales. The recommendation of the Sub-Com- mittee were adopted. The report oi. the Glamorgan residence difficulty was not read for discussion, and the matter will come up at the next meeting. Mr. A. J. Cooze, Swansea, gave notice of motion for a proposition to get larger Exchequer grants to education authorities and in view of the fact that such grants were to assist the spending department of the authorities it might bring about the solution of the salary question. The resolution was carried. Mr. R. G. Price (Merthyr), moved that a standing committee be appointed, in conjunction with the County Association, to look after educational problems in Wales. This was carried. At the half-yearly meeting of the N.U.T. hold at Swansea on Saturday, on the i motion of the president, the secretary was instructed to convey to Mr. Rees Nicholas, of the Terrace, Cwmavon, the sympathy | and condolence of tb,6 Association in his sad bereavement.

MUNITIONS TRIBUNAL.! Masons. Absent Themselves I and Get Druitk. South Wales Munition Court was held at the Labour Exchange, Swansea, on Eri- day, Mr. Howe, deputy for Mr. Yaughan Edwards, in the chair. The first cases called were those of six masons employed at a controlled works, who did not appear. They were charged with absenting themselves from work at s.;m p.m. on October 20th. They went out without asking permis- sion, said the masons' foreman. Six of the men returned at ten o'clock. They were allowed from 9 to 10 for supper. Of the first man the foreman said that he came back the worse for drink. He was taken off the works by a policeman. He remained away till the following Thursday, when he sent a medical certi- hate which stated that be was suffering from gastric catarrh. When asked why he had left his work he 6aid he was very sorry, and it should not occur again. The next man was also the worse for drink. Questioned as to how he knew that wit- ness said that was solely by the fact that he smelled drink. The man was not intoxicated, and would have been able to 'attend to his duties. When asked if he thought his action was fair to the fore- man and the company, he admitted it was not. lie didn't work after that night, but went home. In a letter sent to the Court, this man acknowledged with sorrow that he had left the work. It was a sudden tempta- tion, and he hoped the Court would deal leniently with him, as it should not occur again, as they were very busy at the works he hoped he might be excused at- tending Court. Evidence was offered with reference to the other men. One man, who wrote a letter, said lie had been away only n minutes; but witness persisted that all the men were away for half an. hour. They were all excellent workmen; their absence did not much affect the immediate out- put. The Clerk: I take it you want to stop these men going out at half-past eight. It's a question -of discipline, is it? Witness: Ye.s. Fines were inflicted. and in the case of three of the men 10s. each, in two others El each, and in that of one who had absented himself for several days without a medical certificate, i2. The Chairman said they were glad to i find that the oence with which the men were charged was not 61 common practise, They were tlso glad to hear the employers give fair evidence, not only that which was against the men, but also that which was in their favour. In the absence of the men was very commendable. A tinplate rollerman, who had been re- jected by the Army, applied for a certifi- cafe to leave, owing to indifferent health, as he suffered from a weak ]!art and an affection of the lungs. He wanted to take up some other and lighter work. Last week he had only worked two shifts, and earned 1;)6. 7d. only. In reply to a question, applicant said if he were offered light employment out- i side by the company he would be willing to withdraw the application. The manager was sworn, and opposed the application on the grountl that if they let the man go it would delay orders j for Government work. The case was adjourned so that the man might be examined by the medical officer appointed by the Minister of Muni- tiona.

CARMARTHEN COUNCIL. Local Contributions to War Relief Funds. At a statutory meeting of the Carinar- 1 then Town Council on Thursday, Ald. J. was re-elected Mayor, on the motion of Ald. J. B. Arthur, seconded by Ald. L. D. Thomas. This will be the sixth year for Mr. Lewis to fill the chair. In a review of last year's work, the Mayor said the aim of the Council had been economy, and no works of import- auoA had been carried out. The water supply was very satisfactory last year, owing largely to the. constant rainfall, but he emphasised the need of providing smother reeervoir. Under the auspices of th^ Mayor's War Relief Fund, sinoa the come.ncement of the war, the magnificent tofal of £3,4:21, had been subscribed by the inhabitants ox Carmarthen and district. Out of this large sum, £ 103 10s. 3d. had been davoted to the relief of soldiers and Bailors; Sill 17s. to the Carmarthenshire Red Cross Fund; t262 15s. 2d. to the Prince or Wales Fund; t165 to the Relief in Bel- gium Fund; £ 189 ISs. Id. to the Serbian Relief Fund. In addition to this, collec- tion on various flag days realised 921)9 19s. id. Subscriptions to the Carmarthen Soldiers' Welfare Fund totalled £347 19s. 3d., and to the Carmarthen Soldiers' Club, 4:356 (of which Sir Owen Phiiipps, M.P., gave £185). They WPl'e all very proud, he added, of what Carmarthen had done during the war. On tha proposal of Mr. Oliver Jones, seconded by Mr. D. J. Davies, Alderman William Evans was re-elected Borough Sheriff. With regard to the contract between the Council and the Carmarthen Electric Light Co. for street lighting, relative to which questions had been raised in Par- liament by the borough member the Local Government Board, wrote stating that to Mr. Walter Long the case seemed to be one in which the parties should come to an amicable agreement in the altered circumstances.—It was decided to I eend a copy of this letter to the Electric I Light Company
