SWANSEA RAILWAYMIN. II' REPRESENTATION ON CONCILIA- TION BOARDS. ALLEGED "PACKING"' PROCESS OF THE COMPANIES. A meeting of Swansea railwaymen took place on Sunday at the Workingmen's Club. Mr. David Bevan, who presided, t-aid personally he had no faibh in the proposed ml -L<)Q conciliation boards. The cha-irmat) was elected a member of the local Ixubour Representation Committee. The Secretary read correspondence from the executive re the Conciliation Boards. Mr. Bell, M.P., pointed out unfair tactics to which companies resorted, and called upon members to support the nominees of the A.S.R.S. Mr. Jno. Bevan protested against the! companies' interference, and moved a oem, denrnatory resolution, incorporating an an- peal to the President of the Board (If Trade 'e; to negative such tactics. Mr. Pickwick seconded, and asked the men to vote according to the terms laid down by Mr. Bell, declining the companies' offer to pay expenses of the men's delegate? at the Boards. Mr. Thornhill said cither the Board of Trade officials were being "worked" or else the President of the Board of Trade was allowing himself to be. Another speaker said it was evident that, the companies wore endeavouring to pack the boards with their own men. A.S.R.S.. should pack the boards with unionists. Discussion ensued as to whether the men were to support the programme adopted at, the 1 'c.Jb Birmingham conference or revised i programme sanction by the executive. Mr. Codd said Mr. Charles, secretary of the G.W.R. signalmen's movement, nad forwarded to the G.W.R. directors the pro- gramme as confirmed by the executive, but it was returned. Mr. Pickwick said Mr. Charles took thisi step under a misapprehension. Mr. John Bevan said the Bristol confer- ence decided to adhere to the executive's programme. [ Mr. A. Davies read his report as a dele- gate to the Crewe conference last Friday, from which it appeared that Mr. A. Bowen, checker, Swansea, was the only local man nominated to the Conciliation Board on the South Wales L. and N.W.R. division. Owing to an informality the meeting sub- stituted the name of Mr. Maggs, of Swan- sea. for that of Mr. Bowen. sea. for that of Mr. Bowen. Mr. Mitchell proposed that the names of a!l local candidates to the boards be printed and distributed to mombers of the A.S.R.S. and non,members.-Carried..

1\ HOW WAS WON, TARIFF REFORM ORGANISER AT SWANSEA. REPLIES TO "TRIBUNE" EX- PLANATIONS. Mr. James Reid, of Bristol, who has just- returned from Mid-Devon, where he, had I the exceptional experiences already des- ¡ cribed in the Post," and who lectures at the Salisbury Club, Swansea, this (Tues- day) evening, is one of the foremost advo- cates in the -,ve;t;t of the principles of Tariff Reform, and in his opinion the surprising result of last Saturday was a victory for reason as against physical force. The regrettable features of the cam- paign," he told a "Daily Post" reporter on Tuesday, were the misrepresentations made by the official Liberal party with re- gard to the Tariff Reform proposals. If they misrepresented Mr. Chamberlain's pro- posals at the general election, they deceived and deluded the people on the same ques- tion through their literature at Mid-Devon. Mr. Carter, peeretary of the Free Trade Union, tried in Monday's "Tribune" to explain away Capt. Bell's victory by saying that Tariff Reformers blamed the present Government, for the increased price of bread, and repudiated the responsibility of the Government for the effects of weather and wheat crops, but what we said at Mid-Devon v as this We did not blame them for the bad weather, but did blame the Government for having a policy which did not tend to minimise the effects of bad weather and crops by increasing the culti- vation of wheat through preference in our colonies and indirectly in the Mother Country." "Mid-Devon," added Mr. Reid, "is the handwriting on the wall, and what hap-I pened there is going to happen in other 11 parts of the country. The British elector- ate ..re beginning to recognise that British trade must be protected in the interest of. British workmen, who are our citizens, and ¡ to whom we owe legislative responsibility."

MID-DEVON RIOTS, MOB'S 0RGIS OF VIOLENCE. I CLUB PELTED WITH STONES. UNIONIST'S BODY DISCOVERED j The Mid-Devon election, with its return of a Conservative and Tariff Reform candi- date, by 559 majority, after the LiberaJs had for over twenty years been invincible, created a sensation throughout the country, éond. the scenes witnessed on the declaration of the poll were on a par with the sensa^ tional character of the A perfect orgie of LivJessn&is broke out as soon as the stupefied crowd could collect itself. The Radicals were largely in the ascendant, and were cbieny responsible for the scenes that ensued. For a brief space after the declara- tion of the result there was the fcilenoe of bewilderment. It was not until Captain Morrison Bell began to speak that the howls of battled rage broke loose. The first acts of violence were done to the suniagists. Two of them, Mrs. MarteU and Mrs. Pankhurst, were savagely set on by hooligans of both sexes and driven into a grocer's shop. The mob followed, striking at the women and flinging eggs at them. Mrs. Pankhurst est aped from the back door of the shop in fea: of her life, but was surrounded :md twice thrown violently to the ground, where the brutal hooligans kicked her. It was a sickening sight. Mrs. Martell was struck full in the face and kicked, and when the two suffragists rushed back into the shop they were set on again by the crowd in front. A Radical woman was par- ticularly furious in her assaults. j Two policemen who c&me to protect tlie suffragists had their coats torn off their backs and were pelted with eggs. Mrs. Pankhurst was assisted by Mrs. Banbury, the wife of the grocer. Eventually the two 1 suffragists were taken off in a rAotor-car in a. condition bordering on collapse. In the evening the maddened Radicals concentrated outside the Constitutional Club, before which police were drawn up in a double rank. From six o'clock till past midnight Newton was in the ticUKia of the mob. The con- stables were jeered at and assaulted, and no Unionist felt himself safe in the streets. Major Clive Bell, the brother of the can- didate, was addressing a gathering of club members, when a heavy stone was thrown through one of the windows. This wae the signal for an organised bombardment of the club building, which continued without in- terruption for several hours. 0 stone struck the electric arc lamp betore the club and shattered it in a showei of sparks. All the stones, some of them being as large as half-bricks, were flung di- rectly over the heads of the police, who stood in a perfect shower of broken glass. ) So threatening was the demea.nour of the mob that at one time it was considered ne- cessary to summon two magistrates to be in readiness to read the Riot Act. One constable was taken to the hospital with concussion of tho brain. Several people in the crowd were cut, bruised, and other- wise injured. Three are in the hospital, and others have been taken home. On Sunday there was a. fresh sensation. The body of Sergt.-Major Rendell, a prom- inent Unionist worker, was found dead in the mill raoe of Mr. Coombes' mill. It is feared that he lias been the victim of foul play, as the marks on his person are unusual in the case of a man who met his i deati, by accident. He had recHved two black eyes and a violent blow on the head. The body was found in the feeder of the mill by Mr, Coombes, the proprietor. A walking-etick was picked up about twenty yards away. It is stated that Sergeant-Major Rendell visited the Old Commercial Inn during the evening, and it is presumed that he was going to the hotel again by the back way The inqoeet was arranged for Monday, when he met his death. INQUEST ON ILL-FATED PENSIONER, The inquest was held at Newton Abbot on Monday touching the death of Sergeant- Major Rendell, a Royal Marine pensioner, ancj ardent .supp°rtcj- of the Conservative,cause in the A^hb^rton Division bye-election, who! was found drowned on Sunday morning in ] a mill stream. There was the mark of a severe blow over one eye and this had given rise to rumours tha.t there had bosn foul play. The coroner's inquiry aroused consider- able interest. Superintendent Roberts watched the proceedings on behalf of the police. Mr. Sidney Hacker, the coroner, in open- ing the inquiry, said considering the state of excitement which existed in the town on Saturday night, and the disturbances which ¡ occurred, it was xiecessarv to vely c^refuhy consider the circumstances and establish the facte of the case. Robert Oawse stated that, deceased was aged 65 and a native of Somerset, but had lived at Newton for a quarter of a century. Ho was a widower in very fair circum- stances. He was of moderate habits and spoke to witness after the declaration of the poll, saying What a gloricus victory." Edwin Coombe, miller, spoke to finding the body partly under water close to the bridge leading from the ,<-tore to the mill. He turned th" water off, and, with assis- tance, got the body out. Dr. Martin said when he !i.3. W the body on Sunday rigor mortis was eista-blished, showing that Rendell had been dead for at least six hours. 1 here was a blow on the left eve. an abrasion on the left si de, of the forehead and siso the skull, rig' *-■ temple &nd second finger on the right hand. The blow on the eye was most important, as it blow on the eye was most important, as it was caused before death, and there was suffi- cient time for swelling to take place. There were no internal injuries. The black eye was the only evidence of Rendell ha.ving received violence.

't POST TALBOT RAILWAYMEN. RECENT PROMOTION DISAPPROVED. I MANAGER ASKED TO MEET DEPUTATION. A masts meeting of men employed on Port Talbot Railway and Docks was held on Sunday, at the Oddfellows Arms, bead- quarters of the Aberavon A.S.R.S., to con- sider the question of promotion. The recent appointment of a junior j engine driver X> the post of inspector has j caused dissatisfaction, and the men allege that the appointment is a breach of an a^reem^nt entered into between the man- a^reem^nt entered into between the man- agement and employes. Mr. T. G. Price presided and several employes spoke of pos- sible future dangers if the men allowed this glaring violation of their agreement to pass by unchallenged.

THAT OLD WINTIR COUGH. PATIENT S CUtE MAKES HER DOCTOR NOW PRESCRIBE PEPS TO OTHERS. So strikingly successful were Peps in cur- a. ing the obstinate cough of Mrs. C. M. Pyle, of 13, Carlingford Road, Hanipstead, Lon- don, N.W., that her doctor is now recom- mending this wonderful medicine to his other patients. .PefJ8 differ entirely from ordinary cough mixtures, especially the old,fa",hioli.ed liquid mixtures; and that Peps are a. vastly superior invention is shown by the fact that the cough Mrs. Pyle so easily cured,.had for years resisted every other known form of treatment, including a vovage to Australia and back. "[ had more chest trouble in the Colonies," says Mrs. Pvle. "and as soon as I reached London again, the old winter cough returned worse 11 than ever. The cough was a. dreadfnl strangling cough and my breathing at. times became quite diffi- cult. Pops were the only remedy which brought irae genuine Tclief amongst the many I tried. The result of taking the lirst few tablets was so wonderful that I at once sent some Pens to my daughter, and to several friends. Even my doctor :s now recommending them to his patients. "The last thing as 1 lie down for the night, I put a Peps tablet on my tongue. My breathing is at once relieved.

LLANELLY ROYAL CHOIR AT SWANSEA. "VERY SUCCESSFUL CONCERT AT THE ALBERT HALL. MADAME THOMAS'S TRIUMPH FINE CHORAL AND SOLO SINGING. The Llaneily Royal Choir, with the, pres- tige accruing from their fine performances a.t Windsor before the King and Queen, the Kaiser and Kaiserin, naturally filled the Albert Hall, Swa,nsea, on Monday night, when they gave a concert in aid of Man- se! ton Congregational Church Building Fund. The organisation embodies all the chai-acteristice, which ale accounted the especial endowment of Welsh choirs- vomme, power and sweetness of tone; dash and tire in attack. The prcfgTamme given on Monday was the same as that of Windsor, so far v the I zo. choral pieces went; the finest achievements were undoubtedly in the polished beauty of Schubert's "God in the Thunderstorm"— the choir's show piece—and the mighty Mendelsaohnian chorus "This is Jehovah's MADAME S. J. THOMAS, LLANELLY. Temple." Hie Schubert composition was the best piece of choral e.inging of the con- cert; the other choruts was marked by the greatest outpouring erf Celtic tire, and was splendidly impressive. The sopranos pro- du-oed a clear, rinsing tone, and never showed any signs ot becoming .strident; the female voices showed to great advantage in some effective writing in Pinsuti's arrange- ment of "Fair land we greet thee." The tenors were of unusually high quality of tone: the basses powerfully sonorous and resonant, and negotiated with most credit- able fluency some trying passages in Raton Failing's "Song of the Vikings" a composi- tion more rollicking than marked hy the wild, rude vigour which is one's conception of the sea-rovers of the North expressed in mucic. Very fine gradation of tone was displayed not only in the Schun-ert work— but in "Ar hyd y Nos" (arranged by Ha-rry Eva<ns), whilst the choir poured forth the "Men 01 Haxlc-ch' with an intensity end volcanic energy that evoked like warmth of appreciation from the audience, which do- manded encores freely. Arrangements of national airs are, how- ever, decKtedly elementary material for a choif to WOIK upon; Schubert and Mendel- ssonn were much more worthy ot the choir s abilities, which were most skilfully uiiivsed by Conductor Jonn lhomas. An interest-! uig curiosity was tne German national air, "J-'eutscluan 1 ueber Alles tne tune is ttie stately melody better known as the Austrian hymn"; tne sentiment, the honestly Irani national egotism which proclaims a oestre to Bee Germany Over everything, Over everything in the world The concert was preluded by "Daw Gadwo'r Brenhin''—the Welsh translation decidedly enriching the effect of the ra- tional Ant-itcm, and mention must also be made of a charming rendition of Gwilym Gwent's "Yr iiaf," which aloned for the triteness at) this as of others of the selec- tions. The excellence of the soloists voices was typical of those of the choir. Madame S. J. Thomas delight jd her audience-and justly. Her voice is a soprano of a most refreshing artlessnees and simplicity; most admirably suited to the naive loveliness of of many encores she was compelled to grant -a.nd her rendition of "Gwkld y Bryniau" enabled one to understand the warIll en- comiums bestowed upon her by royalty at Windsor last autumn. She participated in a trio, and took a sfýlo m Pmsuti's version of "Fair land we greet thee." Mr. Amos Jones, a very fine bass; Mr. W. 11. Protheroe—a tenor of unusual quality of voice, "creamy" as it were, and with complete freedom from the much-abused vibrato as one of its greatest merits—were also greatly to the taste of the audience. One is compelled to observe, howevei, that tihe majority of the solo ballads were pain- fully representative examples of the sheaves of stuff which fall every year from music printing presses—not ail of it alas into the oblivion it deserves. Having exempted the Welsh airs from this critic- ism one must record that the singers treated their subject matter with ai eat intelligence and an effectiveness worthy of better things; and pleased the audience vastly. The accompanist was Mr. Luther Owen. whose unostentatious duties ware fulfilled 11, 'h v. with skill ajid sympathy. The absence of or^an accompaniment was a gain to the choir; past experience has ^hown the com- bined effect, to be overpowering for the vocalists, and provocative of headache upon the part of the audience! The choir had supper at t.he Co::tm I HoM. High-street, H.fter the concert. mo sitting down, prior to their return to Llaneily.

SWANSEA-STRSST IMPROVE- MINTS. SWANSEA BENCH AND THE APPOR. TIONMENT. ROAD NEAR BRYNHYFRYD SCHOOL. At Swansea Police Court on Tuesday the magistrates heard objections to apportion- ments for private street. improve-merts in Clayton street. There axe in CIa^don-street more than 20 houses, and objection was made on behalf of Mrs. Susan Thomas (one of the owners) by Mr. E. Harris, who first contended that ob- jections should be heard within six months after the expiry of a month from thfi date of the first publication of the resoiution of the Council approving of the specification. In this instanco the da.te of publication was | in October, 1906. Therefore he hold they conld not be heH.rd. Mr. ] vaurence Richards (who represented the Corporation) submitted that what the (xw-poration had to do was to hear the oh- jection and the magistrates decided they oould hear it. but agreed to stale a case, if necessary. Mr. Roderick, Corporation dark, was j called. MT. Bell, bo rough surveyor, said that an amended apportionment amounted to JD549 10s. ill. Improvements were necessary and the charges on the frontages reasonable. ¡ Mr. E. Hams objected tha-t the appor- tionment had been made on an incorrect, hafis. A method had beem adopted that WM favourabte to tho Corporation. The road w?.s a convenience to the Brynhyiryd SciJiooI. He a<sked the magistrates to .ay that- the amounts had not boon properly alp- portioned. Brynhyfrvd School should* pay its proper proportion. The magistrates, aftm a. retirement, de- cided by a majority that Mr. Harris' objec- tion was not v.UM, and upheld the appor- tionment. tionment. In of provisional apportionments in Waun wen-road, Mr. E. Harris represented the following objectors :—Thomas Jones, Darnel Lsaue, Thomas Morris, David. Phi!- liiips, John Isaac, Isabella Thomas, and Wm. morgan. Mr. T. R. Harris represented Thomas James. Mr. E. Harris objected that a strip of Chemical -road side had been taken in by the Corporation in order to widen the road. In doing this the cost of the widening had been added to the apportionment. This the Cor- I poration had no right to do; widening of roads runst be done at the expense of the Corporation. Magistrates upheld the objection and quashed the apportionment. Mr. T. R. Harris' objection that his client had already carried out certain work was met by the Corporation, who diedncted two ¡ sums of £3 15s a<nd F,2 12. 6d. from his original apportionment. Three objectors to apportionments in Goed- eilt did not appear.

INFANTILIS MOITALITY. LLANELLY CORONER ADVOCATES LEGISLATION. An inquest was held at Llwynbendy, near Lkutieilv, on Monday evening respect- ing the four-months -old son of David John Radge, Taat>wade House, when the jury fouild that deceased died from overlaying. The Coroner (Mr. Roderick) commented upon the number of cases of this description he had to deal with, and pointed out that last year 1,619 children died from this cause throughout t.he country. There were also many overlaying cases that were put down to convulsions. Parents should place their children in'a separate cot. He did not be- lieve that the practioe of sleeping with chidlren was likely to decrease until some legislative measure dealing with the matter was passed, making it a penal offence for parents to take children into bed with them.

11 1 ■ uijtm H.I m' 'STAGE SHOW THI CHUHCH TH1 WAY. MR W. CO CITS* PIONEER WORK IN A THORNY FIELD. STAR SUNDAY SERVICE DRAWS AN IMMENSE THRONG. "Jupiter" writes No better proof of the need for such service as that being so faith- fully rendered to "the least of these" ny Mr. William Coutts, proprietor of the Star Jheatre, Swansea, could be afforded than the crowded condition of that house at Sunday evening's concert. Mr. Outts deserves, whether he gets it or no, the un- stinted applause of every right-minded Swansea citizen for his self-sacrificing and unremunerated efforts to influence for good the very kind who most need real help and practical sympathy. It's a pity, in the interest of religion, that the churches do not take up this very work. They have suitable buildings, beautiful organs, trained choirs, soloists, speakers, everything except recognition of their responsibilities in this direction. A pity for there is an atmosphere of the church, as there is an atmosphere of t-he play-house, and while neither are necessarily evil, the former is more adapted for serious, moral and spiritual impression. Tentatively, some Christian communities in Swansea are taking this up. the Central Hall people, for instance and have there not been organ recital,s in some churches, though unfortunately for the most part with the low object of adding to the funds? Meanwhile we must all be grateful to Mr. Coutts, the pioneer of the really interesting after-church Sunday service. Sunday was a. popular evening the old hymns, "All people," "Art thou weary?" "Abide with me," and the Glory Song were sung, a really magnificent series of picture? illustrating the life of "Mary. Queen of Scots" also bioscope stories, "A faithless friend," Pierrot's death," r.nd For a woman"; sake," were shown. Solos were rendered by Miss Blodwen Davies. whose rendition of Daddy was one of the fin- est, by Mr. Bowen Davie?, and little Miss Ediei lie Brunn, who performed in the theatre last week. GRAND THEATRE'S SUNDAY CONCERT. There should have been a much larger audience at Swansea Grand Theatre's SunJ day concert, the third of the present sea- son, in view of the excellence of the pro- gramme provided. Conductor Isaac Ed- wards and the Gwent Glee Party—a weil- balanced organisation—provided the back- bone, and gave a genuinely meritorious ren- dering of Parry 's Pilgrim's Chorus," Pro- theroe's "Thp Morning Stars." and the "Halleluiah Chorus." amongst other pieces. The soloists were numerous and highly cap- able. Miss Maggie Jenkins' rendition of Liddel's setting of ''Abide with me" earned warm applause and Miss Beatrice Morris was equally at ease in Mascheroni's melo- dious "For an Eternity." Mr. Luther Da- vies displayed a tenor of good quality in "The Star of Bethlehem" and "The Hea- venly Song." Mr. George Thomas, an effective baritone, and Messrs. Morgan and Evans were other contributors to a pro- gramme embracing over a dozen items. .fis; Maggie Jenkins accompanied, and next Sunday the G.V.A. Band will be the attraction.

HE SPOKI WELSfl* CONSTABLE THOUGHT IT WAS SWEARING. John Thomas, a travelling mat mender, was charged before Messrs. T. Moore and A. Lanyon, a.t Redruth, with being drunk and disorderly at East End. Defendant pleaded not guilty, and said he was talking in Welsh, and the policeman must have taken that for swearing. Accused was fined 5s. and costs.

SWANSEA BURGLARY. SHOPS ENTERED AT QUAY-PARADE. During Saturday night a burglary was perpetrated at Quay-parade, Swansea. Mr. Jack Spring (Maesrs. Spring and Sons, fruiterers), went to the premises ou Sunday a.nd found entry had been effected by an open trap-door at the roof.

Thev next visited a oonfe-ctionery shop next door, and took away £2 worth of mixed chocolates, caehous and other sweets, and did a lot of wanton damage by upsetting things in general, a.nd throwing water all over the shop. --I.
