THE ELECTIONS.
THE ELECTIONS. The Swansea municipal elections have not resulted in any surprises, and the figures are a striking com- mentatorv upon the dullness of the contest. Labour has improved its position, but the most significant feature about the polling's was the abstention cf so many ratepayers from the polling booth. Nothing else can be- expected until prin- ciples of Government and not per- sonalities count for most in elec- tions. As a matter cf fact, there was absolutely no dividing line be- tween the can(liclateiras far as their public expressions of opinion were concerned. Labour, hotvever, had this advantage: its organisation was completer and well established, whereas the organisation on the other side was quite new and necessarily imperfect.
THE U.S. COAL STRIKE. I
THE U.S. COAL STRIKE. I The coal strike in the United States will be watched with anxiety ali over the country, but especially sr> in South Wales, where we have been warned so much of late re- garding the menace of American ccmpetition in our markets. But at the commencement of these notes let us protest against the short- sighted policy that would rejoice over the troubles of our cousins across the ocean. The world has shrunk to such small limits that the misfortunes of one continent are, to- day, the misfortunes also of the rest. As a leading official of the Ministry of Food points out, the effects of the t¡-jko may be very serious in their' relation to our food supplies. The dockers' strike has already interfered with the ship, ment of much-Heeded food sup- plies. especially bacon; and if in- land transit is paralysed by the miners' strike, the food problem may become acute. Should the strike be protjfacted it will block the shipments of autumn wheat, and delay the export of Canadian produce, much of which reaches us via New York, after the lakes are frozen. The strike will be watched with interest and with anxiety in South Wales because it is an attempt, on the part of the American Unions, to solve a question which has oper- ated greatly to the detriment of the Welsh export trade. The United States, to begin with, have not to undertake such expensive pro- cesses as we have in the matter .(\f coal-winning. Many of the miners in the States are till empkyed I upon outcrop seams, which are l worked either by lateral shafts or adit's in the sides of the hills, or by vertical shafts of quite moderate depth. In either case, the costs of hauling and hoisting are reduced greatly, and more coal can be ex- tracted in a given time, with less consumption of mechanical power, than when the coal is raised from a great depth. Another natural ad- vantage enjoyed by the American coal-mining industry is that a greater proportion of thick seams of coal are still being worked, and that this simplifies the labour and skill involved in mining, and ren- ders it easier to employ mechanical coal-cutters and conveyors at the face of the seaQi. But the greatest disadvantage we suffer in comparison with the United States 1$ that whereas the coal-mining industry in South Wales is one of the most perfectly organised labour organisations In J being, the American industry is, cr I has been until now, very loosely organised. An American mining engineer, Mr. I. C. Parfitt, Jerome, Pennsylvania, said some time ago that the coal-mining classes of the. United States were I not a stable class; they had no Ül- dustrial axioms, dogmas, or prin- ciples, and no such homogeneity of consolidation; of mutuality of in- terests, as should characterize a I definite unit in the industrial eco- nomy. As a consequence of this condition, the introduction of new devices for an increased output encountered but very little opposi- tion from the miners themselves, whether the device was beneficial I <>i detrimental to their interests or safety. Then again an operating cause of the cheapness of American coal production is the fact, that coal- I mining in that country lias been re- garded as a low-el ass industry call- f ing for no s pecial ability. Mr. I Parfitt said that the coal-mining classes of the United States, that was, the men actually engaged in the digging, loading, and hauling 01 coal, numbered among them at the present time [1916], a very small percentage of practical coal-mmer.s: I men who had spent all or th's greater part of their lives in actual mining work. He did not believe lie exaggerated when he stated that UO per cent, of the "coal-miners In the mines of the United States at the present time were foreigners. J.n this term he did not include miners from Germany, Belgium, Trance, or Great Britain.. He ap- plied the term to the agricultural emigrants from Southern Europe, Italy, Austria, the Balkan States, Poland and Hussia, to men who had never seen a coal-mine before they came to the to nited States. What the effect of the present trouble will be remains to be seen. The men are asking for a 00 per cent. increase in wages, for a six- hour day and a five-day week, nuvl for greatly-increased overtime lcif -s. Will this struggle knit together the loose elements in the American labour world! As the Spectator, in a suggestive article says this week: Whether the advantages due to the social and industrial position of the workers in the in- dustry will also gradually disappear remains for the future to disclose. The ,wave of industrial unrest which is passing over Eyrope has now reached America, and the pros- perity of that country is threatened by a general strike of the miners and railwaymen in support of the steelworkers' fight for the recogni- tion of Trade Unionism. This threatened strike will of course affect the output and prices of fuel in America, and is likely to stop the shipment of coal abroad for some time. Whether this rise in fuel prices will be permanent de. pends to a large extent upon the strength of Trade Unionism in the mining industry, and also upon the cohesion of the various bodies of men which make up the mining population in the U.S.A."
BOY VOICES IN WALES. I
BOY VOICES IN WALES. I I To the Editor, Sir,-Allow me a short space in your Valuable paper to draw the attention o. your readers, especially those who are musically inclined, to the programme of the 50th annual eisteddfod to be held at Tabernacle, Morristan, next Boiing day. Prizes to the value of five guineas are offered for the best renderings of siolos and choruses by boy sopranos. Tho prises are kindly given by that enter- prising and keen musical enthusiast, lir, Wm. Lewis, J.P., Morristoli. There is no escaping the fact that we in W ales, especially the Nonconformists, are lamentably behind in the cultivation of tht1 delightful boy soprano voice. This branch of music is practically ignored and neglected; that is why we liiul 1D our numerous eisteddfods and x>mpuni- tive meetings boys who sing with their chest voice throughout, whilst neglecting the enormous possibilities which are theirs had they been put on the proper track in the commencement. The boys arc not to be blamed, but rather the re- sponsibility rests absolutely on the shoulders of their teachers. It is true things are not as bad as they have been. but there is a great deal to he Hone yet in the way of improvement in this par- ticular direction. These competitions are therefore a t'f'41 and genuine attempt to stir amongst those who are responsible a sense of duty to our boys, and also now, when there is so much talk and not much doing about out position in the musical world, L n effort to contribute something towards the real advancement of the art of arts in our midst. I trust that music teachers, ind also those who are responsible for the up.isio in our various schools, will aval them- selves of this certainly unusual oppor- tunity and endeavour to show-that we are fully alive to the situation., and also show that we have the necessary material at hand and that it only wants to be directed to the prOJKr channels.—Yours, MorristQn. Edgar H, Hughson. 1 MorristoQ. |

This was verified when the result was declared on Saturday evening, the native bee still retaining his hold on the burgesses. o: — Complaining that, on his present wages, lie could hardly make Iwth ends meet, a young Swansea knut Wat; told pretty smartly on Saturday night that if lIe found it difficult to live within his in- come, he would iind it. impossible to live without it. — :o The improvements that are being cairied at the open sPace at Southend by the Parks department are appreciated locally. At present they are railing in a large portion, and when it is laid out in flower beds, the effect will enhance the popularity of Mumbles as a holiday re- sort. The Government having decided that Armistice Day (November lltli), is r.ot to be recognised as a Bank Holiday, many Swansea children, remembering what took place last year, are complaining that they are being done out of a Bank Boli- day. -:0:- A Swansea district man admits that the scarcity of houses has hit him pretty badly.

One Sunday paper gays that owing to the fact that most of tha fireworks were used up in the Peace cele- brations there will be a shortage of ex- plosives on Guy Fawkes Day; while an- other says that now the firework makers have been demobbed the selection will be large and novel. However C4 Seaplanes, which were used as eyes for warships during the war, are now going to be used as eyes for the fishing industry. l'oubtless we can look forward to seeing one of the planes being stationed at the Mumbles, for the purpose of informing the local fleet where to cast their nets for the finny tribe. With record catches as an outcome of this enterprise, there will be a prospect of having cheap fish, -:0:- The Western Mail shouts in big head lines that fifty stranded revue girls were recently boarded for a week by the Swansea Y.W.C.A. The total accommoda- tion of this highly-desirable hostel, as stated in the Leader two days ago, is deven, 90 that those fifty girls must have been rather crowded! As a matter of fact, four girls were accommodated at the Y.W.C.A., and one Or two others at the home of a member. Referring to the meeting of the Execu- tive Council of the Welsh Free Church Council at Shrewsbury last week, a corre- spondent writes protesting against the holding of Welsh national conferences in England. He a,sks what's the matter with Swfcnsea, and points out that Dr. Cynddylan Jones, who probably knowti Wales as well as anyone, apeaking at the Methodist Sassiwn at Aberavon on the college question, said that Swan&ea was the most central town in Wales. And 90 it ie. -:10:- When one reads of a man in a Wfat End of London restaurant taking an axe from beneath his coat and smashing the crockery and table, as happened 01 Sit- urday, it need not necessarily be t 3ight that he was a lunatic. It may be that some of the restaurants in London still supply, as a few of them do nearer home, pastiy and cakes of a granite nature. So perhaps rhe poor fellow was merely try- ing to chop a bun in two, or perhaps the eight of a currant was respoi.rjle for his strange behaviour! 4
