Lake's Court, and Jleury Evan Geaorge, Upper Cimla, coal merchant, were summoned for not delivering weight tickets with a load of coal. Mr. Jeffreys described tho case as a trivial one ,and Aid. Charles, in announcing the dismissal of the summonses, said the Bench thought it seemed rather hard and sharp to mnmon the men because one ticket had not been delivered, when several otiMff tickets had been given up.

The notice convent the meeting having been read by tb secretary, and the minutes of the proves general meeting Having been read, C{dil'IDed and signed, in proposing the a.do,ion of the director's and auditor's repo-s and accounts; the ihairman said:— The reports a* accounts which have just been read tciou shew that the im- provement in theirs of this company, ?hiohithas  ? good fortuT1C to bring jgj?ou^4ieTOSntain^ Tm*  mamtamoo in 1918, {XiSndtf t? difficulty ? .ho shortage ( lalwur and the delay i? ?- tainin* of plant and materials "fcrhich we ha to contend with during that srear.

Id. to 519,822 5s. 5d., as well as hy the sub- | fantial increase in the balance to th-e redit of the company's current account 1 at the bank from £ 18,787 Is. 6d. to L35,012 J 8s. 4d Ar.rangements are now being negoti. -j ated, whereby the liability of the company to the lato Lord Glantawe's estate will be still further reduced, and the financial position of the company consolidated, and it will be a source of great gratification to mv colleagues and myself to see the ,c.ompany placed on a sound financial basis. These arrangements, which have already received the sanction of the Controller of Coal Minos, are now having the careful ronskleration of the legal representatives of both parties. THE REVERSE SIDE. I "As 'has been statoo in the l)ítor'S I Report, development work in the 6 feet Mam on the north side of the fault, and the work connected with the re-opemng of the 5 feet seam did not make such pood progress as we had hoped, owing to >h« scarcity of lahour and the other ¡ special conditions which prevailed in 191S, but wo are now endeavouring to make up I for lost time, and are making good head- way with the underground repairs, and th? development of the G feet seam in the mthern area of our taking. We are still encountering difficulties and deiavs I li-L the 5 feet workings, bufc&hall no doubt succeed in surmounting them also duilnfr the coming year. So far, so good. That is the brighl tide of the picture, a side which, in normal times would have justified me in holding but fairly encouraging prosperi-s to the shareholders. But unfortunately for the Nation in general, and this colliery's shareholders in particular, there is a re- v-i-se sidfi to the picture, which is painted in very gloomy colours in consequence of the Interim Sankey Report, and the Bill, which the Government propose to intro- duce as the result of the findings of some nf the members of the Coal Commission ? am referring, of course, to the Bill j for the limitation of profits in the coal industry. Until I have had the vp- portunity of studying in detail the >lau?ses of-the proposed Bill. it would not >e possible for me to put before you ne- tailed figures showing how the share-! itoMers in this company will lx. affected. ) hut judging from first impresemns, and .V the figures compiled by the Coal "Owners* Association, I very much fear ) that, when the statutory profit of Is. 2d. per ton comes to be apportioned amongst ( ilm, various collieries, the proportion allo- i flted to this company -will barely suffice I pay the interest on Debentures and oans, leaving the unfortunate share- j iolders totally unprovided for so far as inv return oil their investment is con- J cerned I PAYING OFF IN FULL. I "Although very substantial profits have been earned since 1914, they have only enabled us, so far, to payoff in full, in most cases, and to reduco in one or two c??rs, the heavy liabiiitica Which ac- crued during the pre-war years, as tae result of the difficulties encountered :md heavy losses inourred in working ami j developing the mino under exceptionally j adverse circumstances. But the uniortu- nate shareholders in this company have not benefited thereby to the extent of a tingle penny. For 14 years they have had no interest or dividend on their money, and the initiator of the enterprise, tha.t great public spirited mnn. and captain of industry, the late Lord Gluutawe, never received a penny return on the large capital which he embarked in this enter- prise. In addition to holding nearly all the Debentures in this company, and about five-sevenths of the shares, for ten j jr^&rs prior to his death, in the face (>? ricissitudes of the most formidahle11 'haracter, which would have discouraged ,mt disheartened the majority of men, wih a superhuman courage .which can- I na but excite our most sincere admira- titt, he persevered in the work he had I udÐTtakê'n. finding the money wook after vok to pay the men. and make good the I Sses incurred, an, d although the othor editors were pakf in full, this company di owes his estate the large sum of ,,9,001) in respect of money advanced to ,ep the colliery going during the years f trial and adversity. It is men of this \vpe who have made Great Britain such i power in the industrial and financial worlds. Fortunately, in his time tuere. was no Government control to fetter his j judgment and damp the ardour of hi enterprising pirit. Had there been, this ) colliery would have been abandoned long I ago. and a concern which gives employ- ment to some 500 men would have ceased v> exist. Yet in face of this conspicuous I' cample of the enterprise of private in cviduals, an example which is typical I I very many others, who have laid the pundations of the commercial and indus- trial supremacy of this Empire, there lire still misguided people who advocate ) ;be nationalisation of industries. We I Have already seen the result of Govern- I toent control on railways and on mines. In the former case, transport facilities l have completely broken down all over the country, and our railway lines are con- Rcstod as they have never been before, with the result that collieries and works tere 6tppint{ continually through want of | ?=-.Y???.? —-————-——————.—- empties and supplies. In the latter caoo, Government control has brought about reduction in output, high prices, and dis- Hd isfartion and unrest amongst the miners, besides crippling development. ivork and stilling new enterprise. I LIMITATION OF PROFITS, I- To make confusion worse confounded, tho Government now propose to put the lid most effectually on all commercial I enterprise and courage by limiting the I profits on coal, that is to eay, that pri- vate owners are to be despoiled of the legitimate reward of their work and exi- t ergy. It it. the coalowners to-day whose I rights are to be ruthlessly taken from them. To-morrow the other great indus- trial interests in this ffmntt-v will 1H fit- I tacked. It behoves us all, therefore, whether colliery owners, steel, iron, tin- plato or other manufacturers, and the trading, commercial and industrial com- munity in general, to lmite, rind oppofe with all the powers and meifns at our command this ill-advised and ill-con- sidered measure which, without benefiting the general community in any way, or even appeasing the more advanced ele- ments of the Labour Party, would inflict serious injury and grave injustice on a section of the community, i.e., colliery owners and colliery shareholders, whose enterprise and foresight Lave helped to place the British' Empire at the head of the industrial world. When the coal control was estab- lished the coalowners, as a body, co- operated most loyally with the Govern- ment, and made tho establishment of the control a material possibility. In tem- porarily surrendering their rights, they acted in a highly commendable spirit of patriotism, and did 60 in order to help I the Government to win the war. But I have always understood that they were I given a distinct assurance that their pro- perty and rights would be restored to them in full after the termination of the war, instead of which, under the terms of the Bill, they are to be heavily pen- alised for their loyalty. RESULT OF SANKEY AWARD. I As the result ol the sankey Award the Government may consider themselves I pledged to introduce a measure limiting the profits on coal to Is. 2d. per ton, but it 1 inconceivable to me that the Houses of Parliament can sanction such flagrant injustice being perpetrated at the ex- pense of any section of the community. óC Now. as regards the Interim Report issued by the Coal Commission in March last, I hate no hesitation in saying that in the fime at their disposal it was materially impossible for the Committee to collect, investigate, take into proper consideration, and digest evidence that would justify them in pronouncing an opinion, one way or the other, on sub- jects of such vast importance to the wel- fare of the Nation as the (question of private ownership and the limitation of profits in the coal industry. Yet, after it had been expressly stipu- lated that the preliminary enquiry was to be strictly confined to the questiobs of wages and working hours, Rome members of the Committee, without proper con- sideration and investigation, and in- fluenced by irrelevant evidence adduced, and ex parte statements made, by the I minors' representatives, solemnly con- demn the system of private enterprise on which the vast trade of this country has j been built up, and decided that the profits < of colliery owners should be restricted to I ]8. 2d per ton. Anything more calculated to bring enquiries of this kind into dis- repute it would be difficult to imagine. Nevertheless, it is on the strength of re- j commendations that were made without proper investigation that we are to have I our rights as colliery owners assaileit. "CHAOS, DISASTER AND RUIN." I We have heard a great deal since the war about the reconstruction of our in- dustries. Is this policy of reconstruction to be initiated by the destruction of the ) coal trade, the most important of all the key industries on which tbe rehabilita- tion of the trade of the country depends? I If go, wo are heading straight for natio- nal chaos, disaster, and ruin. You cannot climb a ladder by pushing others down, says the old proverb, and the ladder of industrial reconstruction can' only be climbed by means of mutual help and goodwill, and not by the destruction of one section of the industrial com- munity ior tlit3 purpose of advancing the interests of another section. I now have the. pleasure to proposse the adoption of the directors' and auditors' reports, and statement of accounts sub- mitted to you at this meeting." In seconding the adoption of the re- ports and accounts, Mr. W. G. Foy said It seems to me. from t'hø report which the Chairman has just presented to us, that notwithstanding the satisfactory working of Tirdonkin Colliery during the past 12 months, and the actual profits made, that the prospects of the preference I shareholders receiving any dividend in" the near future are almost as remote as ever" For It successive years we have had to be content with receiving no dividend at all in the hope that, with the turn. of for- tune, we W0111d evnt:uany come in for a reasonable return CM our investment. That Iong-wished-for opportunity for 'orkmg off the cmnpany's indebtedness has come, and is still running, but "nUl the Govern- ment taking 85 per cent, ot the net earn- ings, what hope is there of any for the .shareholders ? CAPITAL NOW E187,000.I The continuous outlay for develop- ment, etc., has brought the capital up to ^187,000, and the debenture interest and Lord Glantawe's loons liave to be first met. I cannot, therefore, see any pros- pects of the shareholders getting any re- ,tllr-ii for their money, nnless a much larger proportion of the profits made are a llowed to remain in the hands of the proprietors, There is a proposal arising out of the s Sankey Commission award that colliery owners profits lie limited to 1 s. 2d. per ton. Nobody seems to know how this is going to work out, or what principle (hav- ing regard to collieries like Cwmdonkin. which have been carried on at a loss.) will bp applied to it, All I can soy is that it will \e grossly unjust, if after carrying on at a Joss, iid tlsti-v for all the-e vears, whereby the community has bene- fited we, as shareholders, are to be told that our chanfor making up our losses are now gone. In other words, wo shall have to bo satisfied with seeing our pro- perf". being carried on, as long as it can, minu- any return for our investment, This ic: not a very encouraging prospect to piece before my fellow-shareholders, but it is what seems to me a. true forecast of t'he fpture if legislation is going to be put into operation to limit the earnings of c-ollierv property on the lines suggested bv the ST 11'kev award. Such a policy can oilv hring cne result. No new colliery undertakings will be launched. The in- II,, public will transfer their money to other countries, where they will be assured of retaining full profits commeu- j surate with the risks that they arc pre- pared to take. CRUMB OF COMFORT. 1 "There is a crnmb of comfort in (he latest developments of this subject. The Government is hc-ing forced to realise what this departure in economic politic, is going to establish if this new doetrm* in relation to industrial enterprise once receives the hall mark of Parliament. Mr. Bonar Law's latest announcement that the Government is pledged to bring it into the country's finances for the year ending March. 1920, beyond which it will not apply, may posfiibly enaole the Gov- ernment to carry the mosnro on the grounds of expediency, but it is 111> to everybody interested, notOnly in the coal industry, but all national industries, to oppose the introduction of a principle whereby Government bureaucratic con-, I trol steps in to replace the freedom of the individual to dispose of his goods to the befit advantage. People who put their capital earnings into industrial undertakings are the country's benefactors, and aa such are entitled to the full benefits which their investments may bring them." The Dire&iotij' Report. Auditors* Report and Statement of Accounts were unani- mously adopted and approved. HON. MRS. DANIELL. The Chairman, in proposing that the election of the Hon. Mrs. Daniell and .Mr. E. A. Walk ins as directors of the company be confirmed by the meeting, said H It gives me great pleasure to propose this resolution. Mrs. Daniell is not new to business; she is the oldest surviving director of the Mumbles Railway and Pier Company, having sat on the board oon- tinuously since 1905. On the death of the late ír: T. J. Williams, M.P., she suc- ceeded him as ohairniaii of that company, and has also been for several years direc- tor of the Swansea a/id Mumbles Railway Company, of which her sister is chair- man. Since the death of her father, the late Lord Glantawe, she has been adminis- tering his estate, in conjunction with Miss Jenkins, and has always given me invaluable assistance, with her advice and good judgment, in dealing with the numer- ous complications which at one time sur- rounded this company. It is due in a great measure to her optimism and per- severance that this company is in exist- ence to-day, for had it not been for her urgent entreaties to persevere in my task. I should on one or two occasions have felt I inclined to recommend the abandonment of an enterprise which literally bristled with dimculties and troub1Ø5. I am very gbd, therefore. to have her valued co- operation as a colleague on the board of this company. LADY DIRECTOR APPOINTED. I In these days when WOLl.n are com- ing prominently to the front iii all spheres of life, it is interesting to note what a number of Welsh women are taking lead- ing parte in the direction of important enterprises. Lady lihondda has succeeded her father in the direction of his great coHiery and oth'?T interests, while Mrs. Daniell and Miss Jenins, in addition to their other directorships, each enjoys the unique distinction of being chairman of a I Railway Company. Mr. Watkins, ever since his boyhood, has been closely aesociated with the late I Lord Glantawe s numerous enterprises in a number of capacities, in every one of which he displayed great loyalty and devotion, and excellent judgment. It also gives me great pleasure to have him as a colleague on the Board of this Com- pany." The resolution h?viny been duiy seconded, the appointment of the Hon. Mra. Daniel! and Mr. Walking as Direc- tors of the Company was unanimously c<mArmcd. The Hon. A. K. E. Jenkins was also re-elected a Dirocwr of the Company. Messrs. Ivor Jones and Co. and Mr. D. R. Kiio N-le were appointed Joint Audi- tors of the Company. I

.!■»<* i ii '■ ■ ■■■■■■■■ i ■■ ■ ■ i ■ i to— For the Ladies. I Don't Dwarf Your House Sometimes a fairlv iarjya house seems < rowdeti, en'n though it Jias only as rouch jurniiii-m in it as seems absolutely essen- tial, while a smaller oive gives tlte impres- sion of greater space. One can look about the first tima find decide that not a aingta pieto of furniture can be is,-nared--and yet tiu) impression of cramped space remains. Of eourse thft placing of furniture h8!R much to do with giving the illusion of •space—but more depends on the size of i-fae furniture itself. Whenever new furniture is bought, tin's question of size should be carefully con- sidered. If your rooms are email, don't-. dwarf thein still further by putting mas- sive pieces of furniture in them. Fairly big chains can be used, but not the great sm-eadins: fireside chairs with wings that ma.ko them look still bigger. Seek com- fort in your furnishings—but select out- lines that give an impression of simplicity and delicacy, and' you will have gone a long way toward making your rooms less crowded. Group the furniture instead of scattering it equally over the whole room. and the room will acquire greater length and look more airy. Last of all. don't healo Tour rooms with too many soft cushions, k-e-op books in their shelves, and tables cleared 00 far as is possible, and your rooms will seem more spacious. CAKE-MAKING HINTS. Before starting to make cakes have the ilnos cleared out and a good fire made. Have nothing else in the oven when the cakos are baking. Meat stewing or tarfs baking ruin the cakes, as the steam makes the cakes heavy and dry. Grease the tins and line them with preased paper, and warm them slightly before putting in the mixtnrc. I)o not hurry cake,-making; if possible have a set morning for it. Remember that one egg well beaten makes a. cake lighter than two whisked hardly Pt all. Ehgs should be broken separately into a basin, to be sure all are good. Mar- ianne or butter slio-uld not be melted, bnt should be beaten with a wooden spoon or the hands until it becomes creamy. Cur- rants and sultanas are best cleaned by sprink^ ling them with flour, then rubbing them in a clean tea towel. To ascertain whether a. cako is suf- ficiently baked put a fork down the centre of the cake. If it comes out clean the cake is cooked; if the mixture sticks the cake wants further cooking. Do not throw sour milk away. Cover the jug over with muslin, and keep for making scones. It makes them nice and liffht. Castor or granulated sugar is the best for light ckes. Rich cakes and parkin are best made with raw sugar. Directly a* eaJro is baked it should be turned out and put on a sieve to cool. APPLE CHARLOTTE. This i,s a delicious swc-et cuitibl,, for lathe? special occasions. Take a plain one and a half-pint pudding mould and bTQQh it over inside with dis- solved margarine. Then, dust it out with a little line sugar. Cut into strips one inch wide and the height of the mould some stale bread. Dip these strips into dis.«clved margarine and line the mould with them, arranging them quite closely together. Cover the bottom of the mould with a round piece of bread dipped in the dis- 5-olved margarine, and another round should be prepared for the top. Peel and slice about one pound and a half of cook- ing apples. Stew them slowly with four ounces of sugar and a very little water, cooking until they are reduced to a thick with cinnamon, nutmeg, or lemon rind according to laste, and add one egg well beaten. Then till "the prepared mould with the mixture Lay the round of bread on tlie top and haka in a moderate oven for about three- quarters of an hour.
