SWANSEA .-4 FUND.
SWANSEA -4 FUND. How It Progresses. I To-day's donation to the Widows' and Orphans' (and Children's Summer Home Fund) include £ 35 from Mr. William Edwards, J.P., of Oxford-street. We are able to state, however, that this will not constitute all that the well-known Oxford-street house intends doing for the Fund, and that the cause of the widows and children is likely to secure further substantial aid from the staff. A pleasant sequel is to be re- corded with regard to the morning coffee" collection, which it wa our privilege to report last week, and the substantial sum which accrued to the Fund as a'result of i the activities of Mr Sydney Harries. Miss Patterson, the manageress, I has shown a very keen interest in I the Fund, and as a result of her I sympathy, we have also to record t-o-day a donation of £5 5s. on be- half of Messrs. Lovell Bros. I The Fund has now reached fairly i substantial proportions. With cash in hand and promises about £ 1,400 has been found, and to this must be added k9OO in reserve from last year. It will be seen, however, that before the £10,000 is reached, a long journey has to be made. The Committee of the Fund are very confident that the end of the jour- ney will be reached before Christ- mas—but this will only be clone by the loyal co-operation of everybody in Greater Swansea. As we have said before, whilst the large subscriptions are very wel- come, so also are the smaller ones. The shillings and the pounds, the money subscribed by people who are not well-to-do in this world's goods, all help very materially to swell the total. TO-DAY'S SUBSCRIPTIONS. I £ s. d. Messrs R. E.

SUDDEN STRIKES. 1 -0. Suggested Method of I Prevention. i An important decision was reached at I the National Federation of Genei-al Workers' meeting on Saturday at Caxton Hall, London. j It was decided to form district com- mittoes in the principal centres of the United Kingdom in order to bring the Federation into closer touch with atii- t liated trade unions and facilitate con- j certed action on matters of common inter- est. One effect of the movemeut, it ts hoped, will be to prevent unauthorised strikes. The dutios of these committees, it was explained, would be to consult, on v u v question that may be referred to it by the executive council of the Federation.. m connection with ani dispute involving more than one affiliated tiiiion," and it was stipulated that no district commit- tee shall have power to sanction a etriko without the consent of the executive of each of the affiliated unions, and the en doMement by the executive of the Federal hon," The following Unions are affected National Union of General Workers^ Dock.

POPULAR PREACHER, I -f———
POPULAR PREACHER, I f——— Wesley Crowded to Hear Rev. I T. Cheyne Chaddock. I The Rev. T. Cheyne Chaddock, a for- mer very popular pastor of Swansea Wesley Church, now stationed at Dudley, had wonderful congregations at Swansea Wesley Church on Sunday, and in the evening every seat. and every available I chair in the aisles was occupied, while many stood. His striking personally, eloquence, and mesage of optimism woi him rapt attention. In the morning he spoke of the pre dominance of conscience over convent', and creed, and of the necessity of coura&'t of conviction, lamented a growing wor- ship of Mammon, and that the churches sheltered some of it. In the evening he remarked that this was a day which provided the cynic with a very fair opportunity. He told us that the materialistic habit of thought was as strong as it wa." general; that the organ- I ised church had failed conspicuously to I appeal to the overwhelming majority of the men of the country; that Christ him- self was less potent in the counsels of the nations than greed, self-interest, and ambition. There was a measure of truth in this, and the answer to it was that, a vision was not disproved by disloyalty to it, that national decadence did not spell Christian impotence. Tho universal un- rest was a strong driving passion which could not yet be moulded into constitu- tional form, but within the movement God wis, or lie was nowhere. Mr. Chaddock lectures to-night.

IHOUSING SUBSIDY. Dr. Addison and Alternative. Ginger Local Authorities. Xji. Addison further explained his hous- ing policy at the conference Oil housing "t Aianciiester on Saturday. The LOll- lerence comprised trade union societies, co-operative societies, and other work- Ilien S associations. ihe Minister of Health said he proposed to stick to ins programme. The subsidy rias necessary because new houses were not being built quickl yenougiu It wat in order to bring in house builders who remained outside that it was proposed to nppiy the subsidy method foreign to Hriiisn ideas tor a limited period of i welve months. The houses which came under this ar- rui^geuu'ut would have to be of goou standing. They were not to be put up iiice ban lines 1 ua boi. ALTER NAT I V E TO SUBSIDY. If the people did not like the subsidy their alternative was to see that the local autiiorities went forward with iÜtllillg Mpeelt. .tie woulu be no party to the subsidis- nig of wages by unnecessarily low rents. New houses should command their rea- osnaole, rental value, for the payment of which workeis ought to receive an ade- ciliate V, age. With regard to the appeal which was to be made to citizens to provide money for their ow nschemes, Dr. Addison men- feioned that he had word from tnree 01 four cities that they could not raise the Money for houses. Ii DON'T BELIEV EI T." Well," he added, I iiont believe it. Let them find their own money," Alluding to the widespread buying 01 luxuries, ne urged that people, instead of buying a new piano, should keep the okt one and buy housing bonds. it was emphasised by the chairman (re- presenting the Amalgamated Society of Ca-rpenoers anti Joiners) that the workers | in the building indu-strry whilst tney would .suppurt the scheme, would not be a party to building any jerry-built, egg- jj box houoes3. SPIRITED REPLY. Lord Downham's Defence. i Lord jjovjiiiain has .made a spirited "oyjy to the criticism of Dr. Addison wa-L, in the House of Commons on .Friday said that lie found a blank" when he started the work of housing, and that the country was suffering irom Lord Downham's negligence to-day." Lord Downhaiu elates that official records exist of every action of his relat- ing to housing as "President or the Local tiovemment iioard and as .Minister o. ? on. Those luemof m > in- oays, will testify that I more than any omor Minister, throughout 1917 and 191b persistently urged- the Government to adopt, ivthout delay, a sound lieusin^ i policy, and ihat Dr. Addison continually thwaited and hindered the adoption oi that podicy. On March 12, 11)13, I obtained the authority of the Cabinet to inform thf. local authorities that substantial iinaiv cial assistance meant that the ibtatc would bear (i;) per ceut. of the annual tie- licit on the houses built, while tile locai authorities WOUKI have to bear 26 per cent., unless as President of the Local i over anient Hoard 1 limited uieir COll- trilJatioll \:ü a penny rate. SHOULD BE GRATEFUL. JJr. Audison, instead ot accusing me of negligence, snouid express gratitude to my colleagues and myself for havlllg afforded hUll such complete material for a housing policy, and ior having pro- vuUed iiiiii-not, as 110 says, with a blanii,' but with almost a lull equipment of un or mation, plans, aiki kuowieogc for rapid action. Dr. AuUi.son states that he was al- ways urging me to institute necessary organisation t,) survey the land, prepm l plans, lay out sites, anu all the rest 01 it. i do not know wiiat ue means 1Jy that. if he means LJat I re- fused to indulge in the enormous and useless expense of prematurely appoint- ing a number 01 lugniy-pajd omciais. architects, surveyor. alt luuseù in e-N- pensive oilices, this 1 did decline to do, and for excellent reasons. it woufc. t inae been at that time a sheer waste ù- money."

In the absence of any data, Swansc, builders, to whom we have spoken, liesi tato to express an opinion QU the 10ca: I effect of the proposed subsidy, but regard it The forthcoming conference I should make the position clear. It i pointed out that many things have to b known before an authoritative pronounce ment can be made as to whether the term-' on which the subsidy will be obtainable are stich that the builders will accept! them enthusiastically, and so help materi- ally the huge problem with which nation is faced. The £ 150 itself will" not meet the case, one builder said; there! must be some guarantee that, lian,iii erected the houses, the buildor must ned have tlllml on his hands, despite the faci that the economic rent of them might be 25s. per week.

THE NEWTON HOUSCS.
THE NEWTON HOUSCS. Inspected by Sir Alfred and Lady Mond. On Friday whilst in Swansea Sir Alfred Mond expressed a strong desire to pay a visit of inspection to the houses erected at Newton by Sir Charles T. Ruthen. Upon the question of the system adopted, there has been such national interest dur- ing the past few months. Lady Mond, who rakes a very great personal interest in the subject of housing, and whewe knowledge of what is really required in a modern home, is extensive, also stated: her wish to make a visit of inspection. Sir Alfred and Lady Mond, therefore, devoted the whole of Saturday morning to a thorough inspection of these remark- able houses, and in company with the architect, Sir Charles Futiren, carefully examined the method of construction, from the foundations to f\ roofs. Both were very agreefcWy surprised aOO expressed their deligirt tjot only with the principle adopted iW the architect, but also with the nuuilwr of labour-saving do- vices introduce* into the various plans. Sir Alfred, during the course of inspec- tion. referred to the great need of speed in the erection of homes for the people, and ^flared that the principle adopted in t*? erection of the Newton hous? is in ?T?li should go far to solve the dire need of the people in this grave emer- gency. Those who have a prejudice against the timber-frame house, many thousands of which. Sir Alfred stated, had to his per- sonal knowledge, supplied satisfactorily the needs of the populations in the great industrial communities upon the other side of the Atlantic-in his opinion should take the opportunity of consider- ing very carefully the examples erected at Newton.
