Jones (who was a candidate for the Aberavori Parliamen- tary Division at the last General Liecticn but retired) secured election. Mr. Jones, it will be remembered, has been assisting the Ministry of Food in connection with the rationing of s-iups.

Cwmavon provided another Labour victory, where Mr. John Jones Edwards had a majority of 572 over Mr. John llanbury (C.). One of the Neath results shows that Mr. D. G.

IHALLELUJAH BAND I
HALLELUJAH BAND I I SWANSE4 S.A. PLAYERS' BEce-go! IK THE ,,A;q. i I Wo are all fond of the Salvation Arm, Band, although at times apt to ? be cri'LicitL. i,"2!OW, OOil-1 tributed by an old Service sergeant, wiIi have tne cifect, we believe, of-mak- ing Swansea 6lill icnder of the, band, and less inclined to be critical. Bands were very min a in evidence on I .Saturday. The Police i;u.>u were paying a last tribute to one ot tlieir comrades, j v?'h? was buried at Sk?tty? The band ot J th"at.ional Federation of Discharged Soldiers and Sailors paraded the streets i in connection with the St. David's Day celebrations. The Salvation Army Band j headed the military funeral of Company- j Sergt.-M ajor Downer, Royal Field Artil- j lery, late of .St, Alban's-ioad. Quite an improvement is already notice- able in the playing of the Salvation Army Hand, with the return of several of the I | members who have been on war service. Twenty of the baud's members have been. on active service with the colours Those who remained, although few in number, were determined that they would keep the old flag flying until their return. And I this they have nobly done. Some remarkable work for the cause ot. Christianity has been the outcome of the j stand which some of the bandsmen have j taken while with the colours. One Of these comrades—after being in the trenches on ambulance work for two mOJ1 tblS-returned to a' rest billet just 0<>- 1 hind the lines, when he was approached [ by a sergeant, who begged of him to eon- j duct a service with the men. as the ehajv lain had gone on leave. Ile readily did 1 so, and had a splendid meeting. Another comrade who was right up the line, com- j in en red a Bible class with three other, In a few weeks the number grew to over I a hundredmembers Bailsman Bob Pearson has been deco- rated by the French with the Cl-oi-x fit, Guorte" for repeated acts of bravery in attending and carrying the wounded from the battlefield under heavy fire. In a letter to his home he wrote-a I have done my best and stopped at nothing when the boys have been wounded. Bul- lets or no bullets, I have gone on. and I give the honour to God, who has preserved me all the way." Bob wont out to France with the Swansea Battalion, but hap just returned home snd has again taken h?' place in the band. Another of our bandsmen wa-s at one of the Mechanical Transport Depots tn this country. A dozen men were qlmrrdliug, i and using filthy language, when, on the approach of our comrade, he heard a voice say, "Shut up, you fuol! There's Bill of the Salvation Army coming iip." Three who were previously members of the band have laid dawn their lives in the war—two being killed in action (Welsh Guards), and the other dying as the re- sult of wounds and exposure. A small testament, sent by the band to one of tlieso corn rules, dropped Írom. his steel helmet when he fell in a charge, was picked up by one of his comrades and for- warded to his parents. Who in Swansea can forget the "Army" band on armistice day? The bnnd claims to be the first band to parade the streets I on that eventful day—playing national airs and followed by thousands of people. I With the return of the bandsmen from j the Army and Navy, the band is greatly 'in need of new instruments, and when an appeal will be made to Swansea to assist t in obtaining the necessary instruments, I feel sure that the pnb!ic will respondli generously to the appeal.

TINPLATE WACES I
TINPLATE WACES I THE IRREGULAR MEETINGS AND 1 HEiiH CLAIMS By PHILIP WASSELL I H Looker On mentioned the proceed- ings at the Conciliation Jioard as one well ubed to being present there, IJUlt he does not &ay wliiil taction of workmen's repre- soentatives v-as present when the last agreement was arrived at. lie does not state how the big wage earners (I an pie"ed be admits the lact tllat they earn the big wage; he must admit that pwtit- tera and wage earners are not of the bun\u class), were represented, nor even if they were represented at all. Perhaps that was the reason why T. Jeremiah, of 11 iitiai, ia, and rnvseli were chosen, at one of the irregular meetings, heid on Saturday, february 15th (in Swansea), to approach', an the following Monday, the members of øúr Association, who had represented u" an the occasion when the war bonus, of rhich We complain, was agreed to. Their busines was that day to rectify certain errors that had been found unworkable to some sections of the workmen affected. WHAT WE WANTED. The irregular meeting was comprised of representatives &ent by every branch of Welsh eheet mill workers in the dis- trict from Newport to Lianelly, and from two Associations. The duty given to T. Jeremiah and myself was simply to ask our representatives on the Conciliation BQard, as they were meeting the em- ployers that day on one case, ii they would be kind enough to ask the em- ployers to consider the case of*the higher paid men. What we wanted was that men earning over £5 per WFok should be paid the 65 per cent. on the i:5, and then drop to 50 per cent, on all wages en mod above that; the fij per cent. to remain on the CS irrespective of how much a man earned above the £5. They refused. The idea of this request v.as to do away with the anomaly that if a man worked five shifts on a modern plant, and earned C.5 in those five ehifte, he would receive 65 per cent., but if he wont in to work on Saturday for his 6xth shift, he would pull down the entire week by 10 per cent., which meant that by working Saturday h"" had reduced what he had already earned by 10s. Surely, any fair-minded employer who owned a modern plant would give the request his feerious con- sideration. PRODUCTION. I If an employer has had built a power- hi modern plant he naturally expects j liis workmen to give a good production, which is all the cry of the country at present. And if the highly-skilled work- men on that plant, whether it he tin- j plate or sheet mill plant, make good iliso of the plant. and give output, is it I fair to penalise these men by reducing th. ) whole of the percentage for the week? It is better for the men to reduce the out. put and get the higher percentage, which will then only cause friction between the workmen and employer. In so far as the workmen are concerned, they are quite satisfied to have the T3. with £ 2 lis. bonus added, making a total of S5 lis. per week, only to have that regular with no idle weeks. We could lire very comfortably iond contentedly on that. The days of a ill worker would be very much longer "on this earth, as we would not then use "Up our vigour and energy before its time. TO "LOOKER-ON." I I believe Looker On knows as well 88 anyone that the reconstruction rates will be based on the present war bonne, which will then make it that there will be no incentive for any man to go to the top job of the tinpluve or sheet mill trade I think Looker On Qnce upon a time was the owner of a small shirt and clog, but he 6towed them away at a rather early age. I ask Mr. Looker On Is a man a profiteer who is only paid for the actual marketable commodity he pro. duces by his labour, ton by ton? Is it justice that he produces a ton on Monday for 96. 6d. and a similar ton on Friday for 5e. 6d. and a r for 7s lid., and exactly the same work to be done? Will the manufacturer sell the tinplates and sheets lilie oranges and cigars are 6old, 3d. cach. or 5 for a Is.? Would any other trade unionist tolerate alicii an agreement and loyally abide by it, as the tinplate and sheet mill workers have done .so. We do not want any unoffi- cial strikes, or strikes of any sort. They only want fair play. We are pleased that Mr. Looker On admits the higher paid men have worked for and championed the cause of the lower paid man. I happen to be one of those termed the big wage earners, but if Mr. n Looker On would only 6tate how I bave worked as a trade association representative for the uplifting of the lower paid man during the past 16 years, he would prove that it does not savour of profiteering; can he deny it? And if he wants to handle the nice little rum of • £ 9 5s per week. he knows that there is plenty of chance to do so. if he will dig out the old short shirt and the meriy little clog, and a little hit of good, hard work. to earn the wage. Looker On knows that there are plenty of openings in the tinplate and sheet mills for men wit1, plenty of strength and brains. Why don't he get m? It will only help to shorten his days on this earth. But I am afraid the ZD 56. is not tempting enough. He is wi. Ae to his rude awakening to come, in J That sheot ard tinplates can be manu- faorored outside of South Wales, I may tell Afr. Looker On that the few whom he refers to as adviser* and oracles at tlir irregular meetings can point out to him that we are quite-aware of the fact that it is so: and further can prove to him that, while the crew of a ,,1- ""t mill in South Wales iq paid £3 is fJli. for producing a ton of 31-gauge sheets, the crew of a 1),111 in America is paid £ 4 6s. 9d. for producing a similar ton of sheets.

I FISH PRICE MYSTERY I I CONTROL REMOVED TOO SOON Heedless of the removal of control over fish prices, fish showed no appreciable de- crease in price to consumers, and from what we are given to understand there i will be no relief in that direction for the i next six weeks. On Monday in some eases control price* j' were exceeded by 515. a sbtone. At Milford Havea roker (control price 5s. 9d.) m 8s M a etone; white pollocks, 10s. 6dL. against 7s. 3d. control price; dales were 2s. 6d above control price; plaice 4s. (1 11 over; lemon soles Is. 6d. over; haddocks 4s. 9d. over. CONTROL REMOVED TOO SOON. Councillor Percy Molyneux, one of the 1 biggest tisn merchants in Swansea, see;* by one of our replesentativ reepe«*tin,g the matter said:- My opinion is that control of fifili prices has been removed six Weeks too early The Controller would have been wise had lie allowed the control of prices to remain throughout Lent. For the time being, there are not sufficient boats re- lieved by the Admiralty to justify the j abandonment of the control of prices. MORE CRAFT AFTER EASTER. It is a great blunder," added llr. i Molyneux. After Easter there will be suiheient fishing craft to render a good supply all over the country." Hake, on Monday at Swansea. made 3s. a stone over the control price. An official statement from the Ministry of Food points out that since control prices were suspended the situation with regard to fish supplies has undergone no change which would warmnt any material increase in cost.
