TM PROPOSED STOP WEEK* I THB Executive of the Tinplate Workers' Union, on behalf of the general body of their constitu- ents, have posted notices to the various tin- plate manufacturers throughout the districts where the industry is located, to bring about a general stoppage during the first week in June. This, in view of the present situation, is a wise policy. Nor is there any indication that the masters themselves will offer any opposition to the proposal. The trade is certainly bad. Stocks are increasing and prices are low. ÜI the circumstances, the authorities- of the Union have wisely decided to take a bold initiative) having for its aim, through the medium of a general stoppage, the rehabilitation of the industry. From information appearing in another column, it will be seen that one of out representatives has been instituting inquiries among thoae interested in the industry as managers and manufacturers, and from the investigations he has made, there seems to be no ground for concluding that the attitude of the Union will be questioned, either in respect of its expediency or soundness in principle. It is to be hoped that the policy initiated under such promising conditions will be availing te restore the industry to vigour and prosperity.

THE NEW SCHOOL AT BYNEA. THE FORMAL OPENING LAST MONDAY- Of late years the districts of Llwyohendy and Cwmfelin have so rapidly developed that the M:hoof at the former place has long ago been marked out by the Education Department as overcrowded, and repeated warnings have been issued to with-hol^ the grant unless steps were taken to provide ade- quate accommodation. Meetings were held in the district to discuss the matter, and it was decided by the ratepayers that schools were required both at Halfway and Bynea, the two extreme ends of the district. However, when the subject came before the Board, they considered that it was then pre- mature to raise a school at, Halfway and it WlS resolved to proceed with the Bynea School This new scl1001 is now Ali accomplished fact. It's quite modern in structure and stands on a picturesque piece of ground purchased from Sir J. T. D. Llewellyn close to the Bynea Station. The con- tract was carried out by Mr. John Evans, contractor, Erw Yard, Llanelly, and the substantial <1üd I magnificent building stands as a lasting monument to Mr. Evans' skill and good workmanship. Every- thing has been done in the most finished style, and it can without exaggeration be designated a model school. The architect of the Board, Mr. [j. Morgan, is also to be highly complimented on tin" attractive design of the exterior and the completl arrangements and conveniences of the whol(! place. The building consists of two deparbrnellt —mixed and infants—the former capable 0 accommodating 260 children and infants' 150, the whole costing little less than £ 3,000. The children formally attending Yspitty School have been trJlS- ferred to this school, and while Mr. D. H. Bowell Llanelly, has charge of the mixed department, the, infants are under the care of Miss McCreH( he and her staff from Yspitty School. The appoint ment of Mr. D. 1-1. Bowen to the headmastersbip has given universal satisfaction, as Mr. Bowcn in the past proved himself a most efficient teaclel and has won for himself the distinction of beill")' one of the best disciplinarians under the boal!' On Monday morning the school was uncereinonioHSv opened, Mr. John Thomas, Berwick, being the OBV board member present. It must be said hereto" it is greatly through Mr, Thomas' efforts that tl" g additional educational facility has been gained fo" the district. When the Department condemned tbe Llwynhendy School as being inadequate, Nil. Thomas at once brought before the district the. advisability of erecting a new school for the \o^et part in preference to enlarging the old buildings t Llwynhendy and Yspitty. Mr. Bowen's scb1) opened on Monday with 188 scholars, and .MISS McCreadie's wiih 80. This on!v proves tbtJ necessity of this additional school, and umloubtedls the number of scholars will, ere long, be incrf);t,e! to the lull scope of the accommodation.
