SWANSEA'S FUND. Another Great Day. If/hat About YOUR Contribution. To-day's Total: £4,967 Send ycur donation to-day to tlll; Hon. Treasurer, Mr. Dd. lioberts, J.P., 61, Wind-street. We propose to give on Saturday next a complete list of the dona- tions up to date to the Widows' and Orphans' (and Children's Sum- mer Home) Fund. We know that you would like to be included in that list. The committee does not attach so great importance to the juncunt of the subscriptions-ai- though that, of course does count ;n the total—as to a universal re- sponse to the appeal. The Child- ren's Summer Home at Llan. gennith will be, when erected next May, the 'pride of Swansea, and ■when the inhabitants see the èx. cited kiddies go down by motor car ior the fortnight's change that will mean all the difference in the world to their health, they will feel o natural joy that they have done their "bit" towards securing that, joyful consummation. Send your donation to-day to; Mr. David Roberts; 61, Wind-! street. If posted to-night, it wi!! be in time for inclusion in Saturday's great list. THE FIRST HOTEL BOX. I I L Day by day it is our gooci lonunc to record notable and interesting contributions to the Fund. Our readers will no¡lre below, amongst the subscriptions received this morning, the sum. of £1 4s. lld., the contents of the first box placed in the Bovega Hotel. Mr. and Mrs. Owen and their staff hailed the scheme with gladness, and this first box was filled within six hours i of its receipt. It is a splendid lead to. the licensed houses of the .town, whnse landlords and 1811dladies have been always zealous in a good i cause, and we expect confidently that to the credit of the liceiisel.1 houses of Swansea there will ulti- mately figure a great sum. to t y We are glad to be able to say boxes have been also placed in a I number of Swansea restaurants, and from these, too, we expect heavy cotitribiitions. A LITTLE GIRL'S DOLL. One of the most touching letters received bv the Hon. Sec. this morning came from a little lady in j Port Tennant. She does not vet allow us to use her ntme, but this is her letter:— Dear Sir,—I want to help your splendid fund, so I dressed a doll in Welsh costume, thinking it might be sold during the night of the Whist Drive. The doll is wonderfully dressed. It is real Welsh, and we hope that when it is placed up for sale at the Whist Drive to-night—or Friday "r Saturday as opportunity may serve -the little lady who dressed it may have the satisfaction of seeing her efforts abundantly rewarded. FUTURE SUPPORT. An ex-Tommy writes us this morning asking whether it would be worth while to suggest the "forma- tion of a league of supporters who would each subscribe a minimum oi os. per annum and as much more as their circumstances would allow. He offers further details of this scheme, which will be brought be- fore the committee in due course, We ought to say, however, that Mr Stanley Cook is working at a pro- posal by which the children of our fallen heroes will be allocated to the care of particular residents of Swan,-1 ;ea who agree to take this respon- sibility. Already a large number cf promises have been made in this direction. m SOME GOOD WISHES. WWI r"t Mr. Reginald Francis, I apglyn," !Langland Bay, in sending ten guineas for the fund, says, I enclose DIV -(.Ilpque for this laudable object in which yon are taking such active interest, and I hope you will attain it' Mr. Prank P. Charles, J.P., the Registrar, in enclosing; iive guineas, wishes success to the fund. COLLECTIVE TRADE EFFORTS A good many of the solicitors of Swansea have expressed their keen wish that their exertions on behalf of the fund shall come together on behalf of the profession, and the president of the Incorporated Law Society is being communicated with in respect of this desire. The butchers of Swansea to-day sent a representative to the Leader Office to say they are moving in the matter, and although we have not yet heard officially from the grocers of the town, we understand we may expect their houses to respond as (Continued on Page Five).

1 i WAGON SHORTAGE. i I ]
1 i WAGON SHORTAGE. I ] i I Transport Minister and Soutn Wales Difficulties! f Dimcuities?' Sir Eric Geddeu, Minister of Transport, i made a statement to a large number of members at the House of Commons on Wednesday evening on the railway diffi- culties. After explaining the functions exercised by the Railway Executive Com- mittee, Sir Eric said from January 1st the control of the railways, so far as it 1 existed, would be exercised by the Minis- try of Transport, who would also be re- 3ponsible for the financial check so con- scientiously exercised by the companies ) on one another during the war. j GREAT SHORTAGE OF STOCK. Although the United Kingdom owned 1,000 more goods wagons than in 1914, in j Great Britain alone the available Axilway I stock was 5 per cent. down. Fifteen j thousand to 18,000 wagons were in France, i and a similar number ill excess of the normal total were awaiting repair. Apart I t from this there was the abnormal state of traffic due to lack of coastwise competi- tion through low railway rate*. They would not get back to a normal situation until the railway rates, now subsidised, were put on a normal basis, and he hoped I this would be done before January 15th. i Enormous prices were being asked by I pri vate firms for building wagons. They wanted something like 50,000 new wagons yearly, and he hoped that shortly they would be able to adapt ome of the muni- tion works for the purpose. Congestton at ports was slowly improv- ing, and generally the whole situation was being dealt with in an effective way, but it would take tiiiie. SOUTH WALES CONDITIONS. « « I In the course 01 hiS speeeu ou Dn I Gedde«.\said that in pre-war times 60 cent, of the Welsh traffic, v. !f, Dc)rth Eouth. and roughly 30 per cent. east &" d west, on the main lines. Now it was just j the reverse—60 per cent. west and east i and 30 per cent, north and south. He claimed that as an explanation of the ) state of things in South Wales. Sir Edgar Jones asked how long they I were going to have the present state of J affairs It was making the working of the railways in South W^Ies impossible. j I Sir Eric Geddes replied that whole j matter was to be gone into by .? depiita- I tion who would see the Prime Minister,! and any statement in regard to what a,, to be done would be reserved for Mr. ¡ Lloyd George.

I TRAVELLER'S BEER. I r Swansea Hotel Proprietor I ( I- Fined.. I i 4 I Charles Gustavus, of the Cameron Hotel. High-street, was summoned in two cases at Swansea on Thursday for selling beer at a price above the maximum on I October 27th and October 28th.—Mr. Hol- land Booth pro?cuted. and Mr. revor Hunter (instrnctpd by Messrs. C. B. ) Jenkins and Lloyd) defended. Mr. Booth said that Mr. Charles Edward (iongh. of R?dm?. had stayed at the Hotel and ordered a pint of beer in the coffee room on the night of Oct. .7th. The following day he ordered two half-pints. On his bill being presented he found he was charge! 10d. per pint, 1; I- flic order whereas the price, accor '> the order, was' 9d. per pint. I Wben Mr. Gough heard of the overcharge he "III f" f he re- ceipted bill to the Food Office. A BREWERY TRAVELLER. I Mr. Gough was called, and in reply to I Mr. Trevo' Hunter said he w<is i traveller for Messrs. H. and G. Symonds, brewers, Reading. He knew the Co"iif"'> had been supplied by his firm, but he did nbt know that recently it had been <sn^lird by. another brewery. He sent the bill to th'; Food.Office thinking a warning was necf'. Mr. Trevor Hunter ph eu'Hv ton I technical o?nce Mr. Gustavus had only recently taken over the Cameron, and h? thoug-Jtt he was doing what had always I been done m the Cameron, and v-js ithin his rights in charging JOd, in certain rooms. He wished, however, to express his regret that anything of the kind had occurred, and wished to give his assur- I ance that it would not occur again. "DISTINCTIVE LABEL." I A further summons against Mr. Gus- j tavi?.5 foi selling whisky at a price above f the maximum on 7th November was pro- ceeded witb. Inspector Cummings told how he charged 6d. instead of 5d. for whisky sold from a bottle with a label, on which was printed line Old Scotch Whisky." The whisky was from a keg, and an in- voice from a firm named" Kiyes was shown him. The whisky when analysed was 27? per c<'nh below pi-oof, and so 'fI' quite good whisky. Mr. Trevor Hunter contended that the hotle had a distinctive label- The Order did not i?tc t'-? the bottle should bear I the name of the ma ker or distiller. T??, same label on the bot?l- had been used at the Cameron for over five years for Kayes' whisky, and was a distinctive label. BENCH'S DECISION.

i SHOUTED DOWN.
i SHOUTED DOWN. Col. John Ward's i Amazing Reception. Hissed by Trades Unionists. r As briefly reported in our late editions lasc, niglit, there were stormy scenes at the Special Trades Union Conference, I ,yesterday on the question of Russia Mr. John Hill (Hoilermakers) moved a resolution dealing with the position in Russia, as revealed in the respect of de- putation to the Prime Minister. It expressed the profound dissatis- faction of the Congress with the actions cf the Government, demanded that the overtures for peace made by the Soviet Government should be accepted, that the blockade should be raised, and that diplomatic relations should be re-established. I The resolution also asked that a depu- tation should be demanded. Mr. Hill declared that their past ex- perience-made them unable to place any reliance upon the statements of the Prime Minister. I was, he said, yester- day with men who were going to Russia to fight, for fighting was still going on —in any country with which we were a,t peace. (Laughter and cheers.) Mr. Robert Williams seconded the resolution. He had been asked to go to Russia on behalf of the" Daily Herald," but he had been refused a passport. I COL. JOHN WARD ARRIVES. I At this point Col. John Ward, M.P., rived, and for some minutes there was a j perfect pandiomium o fyells and hisses and groans, which Col. Ward faced grimly. Mr. Thomas culled for order, and ap- pealed for fair play. In answer to ques- tions, he said Col. Ward was the properly accredited delegate of the Navvies' Union, and had a right to be heard. After quiet had been restored with diffi- culty, Col. Ward said:—"You can re- pudiate me as much as you like, but that does not alter the fact that I am. one of yourselves; I am not afraid of a single one of you ,nor of the whole lot. (More groans, and some cheers). When I hold a j view, I am not afraid to defend that view against all comers. (Cheers). I know what the position is in j Russia," he continued—(a delegate; "You have never been there ")-" aii(I I tell you, you are doing a great wrong. (Groans and hoots). You are not only injuring your fellow-workmen in Russia, but you are injuring yourselves. (Deri- Ii sive laughter). DELIBERATELY DECEIVED, 1 6ay that Tom Mann has been de- liberately deceiving you about the posi- tion in Russia. He has talked about the position at the beginning of the revolu- tion. What happened then? Russia was I left without a Government, and Kerensky and jjitr ^rwrtT^—tor% the opinion of a great nation! I assrilii)ly, II widest-possible franchise, as to what was the best form of Government to be put in place of that of the Tear. Then a gang of fwoundrel and mur- derers—not more than 300 or 400 in num- ber—murdered the greater part of the I National Assembly, leaving only about J80 of them alive." (Groans andhbses). I, Kerensky," ..continued Col. Ward, came to Loudon, and was the idol of a congress like this. (Cries of No and Liar.') He kissed the chairman. Now you are supporting the people who mur- dered the members of the National As- sembly and tried to murder Kereriisky as well—people who were sent to Russia by our enemies, and were paid to carry on their scoundrelism and assassination. (Great uproar and shouts of No.') You may describe the Government of I Russia as a Soviet or whatever you like, I but that. does not alter the fact that their tyrrany and cruelty are worse than any- i thing that went on under Tsardom. Nor would British Labour ever accept the position in which the workers of Russia are now placed." ,(Some cheers, mingled with hi&ses and groans). I After two other 6peeclies, the resolution moved by Mr. Ilill was carried, and the Congress adjdumtfd until February.

LAND TAX. Address to Women's Co. operative Guild. At a meeting of i-ht, Wonlen"; Coopera- tive Guild, held in the Orchard-street Rail on Thursday Mrs- Mitrphv presiding. 8J) i V: s was given bv Mr. }lhÎ(,i. A. Davies, Cardiff (secretary of the Welsh- League for the Taxation of Land ValtiCA). He explained how their proposals differed from those of the Nati-onnllsers of Land Values. They did not want to buy out landlords, but to tax them out. Land values were produced by the activities of the community as a whole, and belonged therefore to the community. He instanced cases in Cardiff where the land value was now X-116,000 per acre-land, the agricul- tural value of which was .£10. In London land was worth X3,000,000 per acre; yet, to find rates and taxes, thev dd not come down on the owner of land values, but on the householders. They advocated the system of land raring which had been adopted M Sydney, Australia. All the financial requirements of Cardiff adminis- tration could be financed on a rate of 6d. in the XI on land values. SPN-pi-,il questions were asked, and the lecturer wa* thanked for his address.

I CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION. Sir Newton Moore asked whether a big question of constitutional privilege did not arise out of this, inasmuch as i wh ;> the expenditure was refused by the House of Commons, the House of Lords took upon itself to authorise it. "It does raise a very big constitu- tional question," replied Mr. Bonar Law so big that I don't think it is possible to deal with it by question and answer" Sir John Butcher asked wether the costs of the officers of the Air Force who had unfounded charges brought against them were being borne by the Treasury". The Cabinet have considered it, replied Mr. Bonar Law, and think it would be too unfair to allow these ex- penses to fall undeservedly upon people who can ill nfford it."

EMBARGO ON DYES. Great Shortage of Materials. The Government's attitude in regard to the importation of dyes was criticised j at the annual meeting of shareholders oi Samuel Barlow and Co., Ltd., dyers and finishers',in Manchester yesterday. Mr .A Watkins, the chairman, said it had been surprising to find durifig the past year that <they were worst off for many essential colours that are not made i in this country than they were during the war. He quoted from a report by i the firm's managing director, Mr. Bent- ley, in which it was stated Unless the ¡ Board of Trade remove its embargoes I on the importation of dye and suspend its licensing system for, say, six months, the country's trade is going to be very seriously hurt."

Abraham, of Wa lter-road, was summoned for selling meat at -> price above the maxi- mum, and also that in connection with t the sale, or the proposed sale of meat, I did make or demand unreasonable charges. Mr. Holland Booth prosecuted, and Mr. Harold Williams defended. It was stated in evidence that two in- spectors went into the shop on November I 21st. and inspected some joints cut up and j labelled. There were five cases in which the weights of the meat and the prices on th" labels showed that sums between 3d j and 11 Id. were overcharged. Mr. Harold Williams, for the defence, j said that, as far as the customers were | concerned, they had suffered no loss or in. jury whatever.

He had mnde up the orders, j but Mrs. Abraham checked each one be- fore it went out, so that no mistake had been niadc. The Bench said they were satisfied there had been no desire to profiteer, and they imposed only the nominal penalty of 20s.

j EX-SOLDIERS CHILDREN. Application for Admission to Cottage Homes. Some discussion ensued at the Houae and Graig House Committee of the Swan- sea Guardians on Wednesday on a pro- posal that a couple of Morriston children -hould be admitted to the Cottyge Homes. A letter from the Morriston Secretary •f the Federation of Discharged Soldiers ,Ilid Sailors urged that, in the eircuui- tances. the best thing that could be done vas to admit the children to the Cottage Homes until they were able to find a houis for them. Mr. George urged that if the man was earning good money, it would be powblè for him to get someone to take care of the children. He Vas glad to have that letter from the Secretary of the Federa- tion, and he hoped it would be filed for j further reference. The Chairman (Mrs. H. G. Williams): This is the Morriston ,?ecretary, not the Swansea secretary. (Lau?hter.? She em- i phasised the necessity in their efforts for | child welfare, not to undermine the re- sponsibility of the parents. It was decided that the father of th4 ) children should be asked to appear before the committee, and the same decision was oome to in respect of another case. J
