Collieries are being developed, together with cokt) ovens, anil tile extent of the improvements may be realised when it is stated that the coke u\ ell will take 1,OUU to 1.-00 Pons ot coal a da-3. A couple of 3--varts ago Iviesere.

What course t hese will take is not yet known, but new sinkings are pro- j jerked. Ihe company is formulating a number ül tcheiut'n «iuch arc still under cou8Ílkralion. In additiun Lo th Cl'ib¡' r Fawr district, pUo are be: Ilg sunk near Waler-stroet, Margam. Up till recently Port Talbot colliers engaged at the Crib- bwr Fawr Colliery were conveyed by tnotor-car, but during the last few weeks t.bey have been carried to and fro on the Port Talbot Railway. The Baldwins extensions at Ta-ibaeh make the housing problem of the Margam j Lrhan Council an urgent one. A re- liable authority estimates that no less than 1,000 new houses will be required on the Margam side, and the Council have already approached the company as to what they proposed to do in the matter of providing housing for their workpeople, In akldit] on to Baldwins a number of other colliery developments are proceed- ing. In the Afau Valley several new pits aro being opeired, and old ones are lwing taken up again. In the Duffryn Valley similar progress is being made. A number of persons are employed on new colliery works near Bryn, and near Port Talbot, the new Cwin Dyffryn Co. have opened with good prospects. As was an- nounced a short time ago the Cefnbryn Colliery Co. have struck the Golden Vein and its rider. To meet the large amount of shipping which will follow the opening of the blast furnaces, the Port Talbot Railway I and Docks Co. are extending the Docks, and a large area is being deepened. Many schemes, including fuel and by-products 1Iiorks, and the extension of t.he existing works, have been held up owing to the war. Companies have beeJi formed with extensive powers, but what course de- velopments will take time only will show, but it is oertain that these developments will mean large extensions for Port Tal- bot and Aberavoo. •

RECRUITING SENSATION. the hearing ol the cnar^c- brought against James Frederick Meek und George Frederick Grace Gardiner in connection with recruiting, occupied the attention or tiie Swansea Bench until late on Tuesday evening. The charges against Meek were of iorging a document purporting to be issued from the Employment Exchange «'ith intent to deceive and contrary to tLe Forgery Act. and of foigittg, uttering, and tampering with a certificate of ex- emption from military service, purport- ing to be issued to John Waller from the Employment Exchange at the Docks. ■ Gardiner was charged with uttering the document and for using it, and having it in !iis possession. The last witness for the prosecution wa.s Supt. Hayes, who said be charged de- fendants in the police station. Meek had been arrested in Aberystwyth, and Gar- diner in Swansea. They made no reply to the charge. Defendant Meek, in answer to the charge, said he had dealt, with Waller from information he received, and he thought that as he was a National Ser- vice Volunteer he would lie entitled to accept him as a war work volunteer. He was under the impression that he was, a 1 C 3 man. When he discovered that Waller kept a boot shop, he decided, quite innocently, to place him on un- skilled work in the shipyard. He gave instructions for him to go immediately. The form, the subject of the charge, was issued by him, but at that time thought that he was in order. As to the forgery, he "almost put in a plea of justification" in the ordinary execution of his duties, and it would be necessary to substantiate this that the whole of the original enrol- ment forms now with the Director General should lie produced. These would show that a large number of them had Ijeen signed by himself, with Mr. Barrett's full knowledge and consent. He was rather glad in one way that the ca..e had been brought before the Court, as it was in the public interest, because that different irregularities had taken place wa6 very apparent by the stigma on Exch; iugf-s locally. The Clerk: If you a.re prepared to prove these things, well and good; if not you ought not to 1)1:1 ke them. Defendant: Proved by public opinion. The Clerk: That's your opinion. You musn't express your opinion unless you are prepared to prove it. Defendant; Oh. well, I'll cut that out. I have not done anything in any dis- honourable way whatever, but have acted on instructions which I received. The defendant Gardiner said that his case hinged on that of the other defendant, who had made a full statement, and added, Anything I've done. I've done innocently and in a bona-fide way." Continuing, he said his connection with recruiting finished in December 1916. The case of Waller's was casual, and he did the best he could for him. He knew nothing with regard to forgery. Defendants were committed to take their trial at the next Assizes on the charges of conspiracy and forgery. In answer to an inquiry, Mr. Thomp- son said they had no desire to proceed on the further charges. No objection was raised to an applica- tion for bail. Bail was allowed, defen- dants in £50 each and one surety of 1:50.

At Neath on Monday Arthur Clarke, Vivian Hotel, Aberavon; Gwilym Evans, Courtland-place, Port Talbot; Griffith Thomas, Be van-street, Aberavon; and John JVilliams, Tymaon, Cwmavon, were each fined tb for contravening the Motor Spirit Order. Mr. Edward Powell prosecuted, and Mr. Wherle appeared for Ok- defendants.
