D" D;nas. On Friday last, the remain- oi the late Mr. William Evans. Apple Tree Shop', were interred at Welsh Sr. D'))1aT. Chui cnyard. he •iec( used had been in the service of Councillor L. P. Griffiths for many years, and his devotee] services had been rewarded by .Mi'. Griffiths some time ago by an int.-rest in the extensive business. The deceased a a member of the Ebenezer Church, and took much interest- in the Sunday School work. His illness was but of short. duration. The funeral was attended by a largo number, the Grocers' Ai-soeiatnm being represented by Me-ov David •Jeiijiins (M.B.G.). Hugh V* ilham-. and William Richard^ the Chamber i,; Trade by Messrs. T. D. Evans and Herbert Griffiths. The Rev. TV". Evans. Penv- graig, officiated at; the house, and. in con- junction with the Vicar of bor.at' s. at the graveside. The dec-eastd leaves a widow and one ehih7. The severe thunderstorm which passed ever ??e district cn Monday caused a great- deal of damage to "hnp" .ami dwelling-houses. The water came rushing down the ,-id. s from the Graig.Mu and G« aunadda he-ids ni torrents and i)!tot?e dwellings. The bed* and everything in the cellar bouses along the Tram road side were- utterly ruined. The !h'ning struck the overhead wire-, of the traimva v. can sin a much damage. The service was delayed for some hours. The Gwarnadda Hotel was lor some time inundated with of water covered every room of the ground floor. The gentlemen who happened to he in the house at the time found re-"iue;e on the counters and window shelves. Thev had been trapped unaware- but they seemed to enjoy the situation. Forth. With deep regret we record the death of dolinny Bowen, the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Bowen, of Edward Street, Porth. which took place under very pain- ful circumstances on Tuesday last. -It appears that the young lad, in company with his brother, went away on Saturday week for holidays to Newport. On the Tuesday following lie went- to bathe in the canal. Whilst bathing, young Bowen, who was unable to swim, got into diffi- culties. and despite heroic on the part of his cousin and others, who were bathing Avith him. he was drowned. The inquest was held on Wednesday at the Town Hall. and a verdi-t or Ace ideid al droAvniug was returned. Johnny, who was about 17 years of age, was an un- usually bright and intelligent County Schoo] ]ad. and was making sjnendid pro- gress .at bis studies. He wa: h?Jd in hi?h esteem by both masters and fellow-pupils alike. The funeral took p!ace on Satur- day afternoon last, and the mournful and lengthy cortege1 was an e ioejuent tribute of the high esteem and regard in which lw was held. The interment took pla.ee at Llethrddu Cemetery.

Editorial Notes. The Government's intervention resulted on Saturday in arranging a conference between the representatives of the rail- way companies and the men. The happy issue of settlement was the result, much to the relief of the country generally. To no one is more credit due than to Mr. Lloyd George. Even the Daiiy Telegraph," an organ by no means favourable to Mr. Lloyd George, very handsomely pays tribute to our fellow- countryman's great gifts. On this occa- sion, however, it says that by general consent acknowledgment is chiefly due to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who has once more shown that his rare gift of conciliating warring foes is equal to his power at other times and on other occasions of exciting the fiercest strife. Mr. Lloyd George, during the last two or three days, has stepped into the lead- ing part, and has played as though to seek peace, and ensure it, were the one and only object of his life-long endea- vour." We have quoted this as we find that recently a Scoteli Socialist, even in Tonypandy, said that Mr, Lloyd George was not much known outside his own country, and was at best but a second- rater. If such is the partisan stuff that is retailed at those meetings, very little can be feared from the intelligence that could allow such a statement to pass un- challenged. We cannot help but record this first step to peace, without exulting in the fact that to the practical capacity of Mr. Lloyd George we owe the present profound relief of the public mind through the settlement of the railway strike. It is true that the men have not obtained at one stroke all their demands. Few of us in the world do. The men claimed the right of recognition of their Unions. and it is an anomaly in these days of Conciliation Boards in other industries that the saine power of repre- sentative negotiation had not been granted by the railway companies to their workers. We trust that this is the final stage in the struggle of Trades Unionism for representation, and what- ever else ensues from this strike, it is very certain that a closer and more effective control over the conditions of railway work is certain to be one of them. It may turn out in the future that we shall be driven further along the lines of public control. The workers of all grades must be protected, and the community must undertake that protec- tion itself, or it must take care that the workers have every facility to protect themselves by combination. The system of privately managed railways, without tho power to the men to exercise the function of representation, cannot be justified from the Socialistic or the individualistic point of view. Railway workers are a fine body of men, and their intelligence Was undcniably proved by the splendid discipline they showed in responding to the mandates of their ruling Executive. If anybody of British workers have a. genuine case for claiming a. living wage, they have. During the last ten years money wages has not shown a sensible increase, while the cost of living has gone up from 8 to 10 per cent. Meanwhile, the working class as a whole, if the Board of Trade data is reliable, has not benefited very substan- tialiy from the prosperity of the last ten years. The living wage," not for one section but for all, is the greatest of all ends of industrial organisation. This ideal of a full living wage is not to be reached at a bound, but every move towards it represents a very practical human sympathy for the lessening of social misery- It brings with it new hope, new motives to sobriety, economy and industry. It is in every way, socially and nationally, a gre,at gain.

Domestic Science. NeedleWork and Mathematics (Practical and Theoretical). The teachers are the same as appointed last year. The death took place last Friday of Edward Evans (Carrier), at the early age of 32. Deceased was a native of Aber- ystwyth. and was a victim to consump- tion. He employed as a night work- man at Park Colliei-y and was much liked by his fellow-workers. The funeral took place on Tuesday and was largely at- tended. A severe thunderstorm broke over Com- pare last Monday afternoon, and a deluge of rain accompanied vivid lightning and terrific claps of thunder. The chimney of one house in Terrace was struck and a hole made in the roof, but luckily none of the inmates suffered injury. The services of Dicky Jones, the famous left-winger reared at Cwmparc, have been engaged by Ton-Pentre for next season, and his display in the trial match last Saturday won lugh encomiums. A young footballer at Cwmparc, whose photo appeared. in the local Press last season, has received a begging letter from a native .111 South Africa couched in broken English and ingenuous terms. Many presents" are humbly requested, with a promise of gifts in return, but the whole is a wdy scheme somewhat on the lines of the well-known Spanish prisoner" tiick. Local athletes are warned not to fall into the trap, as many professional footballers in England have been victimised.

I The Rioting in Mid-Rhondda I Police Couvt Proceedings again Adjourned. At the Pontypridd Police Court on Wednesday, Mr. Gerald Bruce (of Messrs. Morgan, Bruce, and Nicholas) applied on behalf of the defendants for a further adjournment of the summonses issued in respect to the recent rioting in Miu- Rhondda, as in view of the present posi- tion of affairs in the Mid-Rhondda it was thought that in the interests of peace it would be better to adopt this course. Mr. Kenshole (Messrs. C. and W. K/nshole), who appeared for the pro- secution in some of the cases, and .\1 r, 1). Rees (Messrs. W. R. Davies and Co.). who prosecuted in others, agreed to such a course b taken. The Stipendiary, in acceding to the request, adjourned the case for live weeks, and expressed the hope that at that date the cases would be definitely dealt with and no further adjournment asked for.

It was also decided to ask several public men to address meetings in connection with the society, and also to request. the loca? ministers to addrevs them. On Wednesday night, it was decided to run a. football team (Association). Mr. Albert Knight was appointed secretary. Jack Davies, a Reservist, a native of Tonypandy, was surnmoued at Coleford Police Court by the Monmouth Board of Guardians for alloAving his wife, Ger- trude. to become chargeable to the com- mon fund of the union. Defendant did net appear. Mr. Blanch said she became chargeable on August 4tli last. Tire sum- mons was served at Pont} pool, where defendant was employed as engine-driver by Mr. Studt) the well-known amusement caterer. Defendant was sentenced to one month's hard labour.
