FOR CHILDREN'S HOME. —— Well-wisher's Donation of L 1000 The hon. secretary of the Widows' and Orphans' Fund and the Children's Summer Home has to acknowledge to-day. with a grateful heart, the first personal donation towards the Summer Homo Scheme. A prominent townsman who does his good by stealth, this morning forwards for t,he Summer Home fund a cheque for 1£100, with the strict injunc- tion that the donation is to be treated as anonymous. In any printed list of ae- knowledgements it is to appear as from "Well Wisher." This is a splendid personal start to the fund. The fund has already been as-. sured of a very substantial donation from a well-known society, particulars of which will be given in due course. But there is a very long way to go before the com- mittee of the fund can carry out fully their intentions this winter and next year. It has been estimated that a sum oi at least £5,000 will be required if the usual Christmas grants are to be made to the widows and children, the children's treats provided, and the proposed scheme of a Summer Home brought into effect. A committee of ladies representative of all interests in Swansea is hard at work making arrangements, and one of the functions that have been fixed up is a three nights' whist drive at the Hotel Metropole in December. Other events are also being arranged. All these, how- ever, will but touch the fringe of the wants of the fund, and we appeal con- fidently to the generous heart of Swan- sea to help us forward by means of per- sonal donations. The smallest amount will be welcomed—the shillings as well as the pounds. If £5,000 is to be in hand before December closes, the committee will require every scrap of assistance Swansea can render. We are asked to appeal to the public of Greater Swansea to forward donations either to- Mr. David Roberts, J.P., lion. Treasurer, 6], Wind-street, Swansea; or Mr. J. D. Williams, Hon. Sec., Cambria Daily L,ader Office, Swansea. All donations will be promptly acknow- ledged. FIRST 1.1 ST. £ s. d. "Well Wisher 100 0 0

A special meeting of picklers and picklers' helpers, representing nearly the whole of the tinplate trade members of the Dockers' Union, was held at the Dockers' Hall. Swansea, on Saturday, Mr. Edgar Williams, Clydach, presiding. Keen disappointment was expressed at the delay of the Joint Indiisti-ial Coun- cil for not meeting to deal with the grievance of picklers and their helpers, and the feeling of the conference was to tak.' drastic action and stop work next week Mr, Thomas, official of the Dockers' Union, who was present, outlined the procedure of the Joint Industrial Coun- cil, and stated that a meeting of the committee would be held in the course of a few weeks to deal with the claims, and at the request of Mr. Thomas, the picklers' conference decided to postpone action for four weeks. A special conference will be again held on Saturday, 29th inst., and a deci- sion will then arrived at to stop work the first Monday in December unless the Joint Committee meet and settle the matter.

JOINT CONTROL. I Negotiations Proceeding Smoothly. Presentation to Mr. Thomas. The National Union of Railwayman delegates met at Unity House to-day, to receive a report from the Executive on the progress of the wages negotiations, and the proposals made to the Govern- ment for the joint control of railways. The Gavernment have made an offer which there is good reason to believe, says the Press Association, has been received with a certain amount of favour by some of the railwaymen's leaders and a section of the Executive. They suggest the setting up of a Rail- way Advisory Committee, to take the place of the Railway Executive Committee. MEN REPRESENTED. I This new body would be established under the Transport Act, and the rail- waymen would have representation, while the interests of shareholders and traders, as well as the railway directorates, would also be represented. Further concessions to the railway unions are, it is understood, under di- cussion Fresh conciliation machinery is contem- plated for dealing with railway industrial matters, and under this scheme the unions would, it is believed, obtain wider recog- nition in regard to questions of discipline and management. Some difference of opinion was revealed among the delegates at to-day's con- ference, but it is understood that the ?''L-'xecutive reported optimistically on the prospects, and recommended a continua- tion of the Motiations.. PRESENTATION TO J. H. THOMAS. I The Blye railwaymen have decided in favour of members' subscriptions to the national testimonial for Mr. J. H. Thomas, M.P., to be a minimum of sixpence.— Exchange.

COASTAL RAID I Unique Experience of j Dlque XperlenCe O' ¡ 6th Welsh. ¡ I I A further instalment appears in th. j Western Mail" to-day of Lieut. R. G. V. M. Bland's history of the 6th Welsh j in France. Readers are now aware of the projected landing on the coast which had been con- templated in the event of PasM.-hendaele falling. Admiral Sir Charles Bacon UTI- folded the tremendous plans of the Navy I as tlio result of his carefully-considered ) memorandum. I MIGHTY CONCEPTION. I LieuL Bland deserives it as a mighty conceptic?n in minute detail. The 6th j W?Ish were to take part in this landing. and training in. embarking and disem-j bark i ng was very minute. The 6th Welsh were appointed their spaces on the monitors General Wolfe, I-'rince Eugene, and Lord Clive, and every man knew his exact position. With the monitors the Navy was taking pontoons i of some 550 feet in length, which were to j carry the tanks, guns, ambulances, and ammunition. Again, there was very 1 rigid training in adopting smart methods I for disembarking from the pontoons and following with the guns. The perfor- mances were always timed with parti- cular care, and as rehearsals were gener* ally in the presence of the Commonder-in- Chief or General Rawlinson, or the Divi- sional Commander, faults were spotted and rectified. i TURNED INTO ARTILLERY. The 6th Welsh were temporarily trans- formed into artillerymen—another ex- perience tor the battalion. Officers and men were trained in artillery drill, the battalion's particular task being to man the guns and take them ashore. The colonel was given the honoured position of general superintendent on the beach after the landing, a post which required a man of ttrong personality, strong nerve and will, and much initiative. The general training was good, but the success of the tremendous project wa problematical. It seemed to require, no*, one division, but a great plurality of divi- sions, on a wide coastal frontage. As time went on troops began to be very eager and anxious to do their fa-dc, but, presumably, everything depended upon the battle at Passchendaele, and also the I tides. TPhere was a slight stalemate, and the initial attacks in the Passchendaele area were not successful enough the pro- posed landing was abandoned. Whether the enemy, with his fort guns, was pre- pared was not disclosed. Every man wag certainly ready to give 1 his all in securing a success, and it would have been an historic perform- ance, whaiever the resnlt.
