Paralysed. I THE POSITICN OFTHE RAfLWAY THE FIFTY PER CENT A BAN ON THE WORKERS I was sorry to read last week that. the pro! pects for the season at New Quay were not as: one could wish and I have 1'ttle doubt that the reason is the Ia<-k of railway facilities for this charming- hea]th resort. Not only is New Quay suffering from lack of railway facilities, but even those places where there are railways are feeling seriously the tremendous increase in railway fares. The whole of the WMt Wales coast labours under a geographical disadvantage which in pre-war days wa& over- come by cheap excursions, and although just, for Whit week there has been a fair sprinkling of visitors, still the return to the splendid figures of 1912-13 is only a remote possibility. A GROWING FEELING. There Is also a rapidly-growing impression that ra)j!way fares will not return to their pre- wa<r standard.—a fear in the minds of the! public that the 50 per cent increase will be-! come a. permanent bane and a stumbling block to the development of commercial and excursion tramc. This growing impression is' not witl-xrit its effect on the minds of the working man who, having returned from the war, is anxious to repeat the excursions that he was in the habit of makin? with his family, before he risked life and limb in his country's service. His fears are unfortunately well founded. He actually geef, in the public press rumours that a Bill is to be introduced into! Parliament to make the 50 per cent increase' a permanency. NEW ARGUMENTS NEEDED. If it is seriously suggested that the 50 per cent is to remain, some very strong argument will be necessary before the people will agree, to the no",itS(}t) without strenuous opposition. It was sta.ted that the 'ncrease was made in ordett* to restrict traveninp. but so far from dfsirinp- tio restrict travelling the Companies are endeavouring to develop passenger tranic in every direction: they are introducing the refreshment car and the through carriage and ,,in- staffs so that thev may cope with the business. This is as it should bn. because T)a,,zrenver tranic is a t'-amc which must be en- couraged in every possiMe way. For a moment it is worth looking at one or two reasons why passenger traffic should be encouraged and to consider how disastrously the increa'-e in rates affect those who wish to travel not sitnply for pleasure but for health. It has been recog- nised throughout the country that long hours of work, fond mid ment-d anxiety "llnI('d with an alimos4 total suspension of the usual fctrms of relaxption has divitahzed the people and there is little doubt that the high mortality which followed the infienza i scourge was due chieny to the weakened power of resistance on the part of the general puMic. To-day conditions are attered, a.nd there ia no sound reason why people shoutd any longer be denrived of their annuaj vacation and the opportunity to recuperate their strength. The dimculty doe<: not app?y only to the annual holiday. It applies equally to the occasional da.y, to week-ends which is Sb I frequency taken by the iaded town dweHer A dav in country, especiauy for chi!dren. fre- quently saves expenditure on a doctor's biH, but this is to be denied because parents are not in a position to pay the increased railway fares. THE BAN ON RE-CONSTRUCTION. Another important matter in connection! with the increases both in rates and in fares is the ban which is ptaced upon re-conr'bruction. The movement of masses of machinery, build- in? materials and even the necessities of nfe ia hampered and oft-times prevented by the ineniciency of the ra.ilwa.ys as they exist to- day. Local authorities are beings urged to I draft housing schemes and they are doing so I in large numbers; but with the raijways in such a state of cross inefnciency and the rates and fares so high it i practieaUy impossible Sor them to push matters forward with any speed. Re-construction depends to a much Sweater extent on prompt and efficient transit than is generaHy realised. In the past the railway companies have spared no effort to provide comnetitive rates as well as competi- tive fare!R. To-day, subsidised by the Govern- ment at the expense of the ratepayers, they are a striking example of the failure of the Government to dellI with one of the greatest services of the nation. HEALTH AND HOUSING. In years gone by it has been possible for the workers to Hve many miles from their work owing to the cheapness with which they coutd get to-and-fro. This meant that <hey lived- half their lives in heatthy surroundings—many of them in the country with the added advant- age of cheap living. To-day high fares have compelled vast numbers to return to towns and cities where they are living in houses which before the war were stumbnng into decay: and in some industrial areas the short- age of accommodation has become 40 acute that they are occupying business premises. Those who were bound hy circumstances to remain in their pre-war dwe!Hngs have had to pay the price. They did so in the hope that after the war things would right themselves; but they find to-day that so far from this be- 'ng the c&" they are faced with a probability of the condition of affairs continuing and no restoration to pre-war conditions, seems prob-t abtp. Close to London many large towns aj-9 cut off from the Metropolis early in the even- ing. and the morning and evening trains have ha,vo been cut down to such an extent that! they are overcrowded, and those using them are at a positive danger to Me and nm'b PARALYSING THE RAILWAYS. The condition of things to-day means that the railways are to all intents and purposes paralysed. No relief seems to be obtainable. Comp!aintf! are referred to the Railway Exe- cutive which is apparentJy a body without j soul, and with very little mind, whose chief reply is that it all is due to the increase in the railwaymen's wages. It is, nevertheless, com- mon knowledge that railwaymen's wages are not up 50 per cent and it is equa!!y common knowledge that although rolling stock has .been sent overseas it has not been sent to the extent which is indicated hy the curtailment of facilities at home. The paralysing influeneei on the railway to-day is the hand of Govern-) ment officialism. Enterprising companies darel not advertise; companies which would have geen chrushed out of existence by competition, stil! hang on, subsidised by the people's money, offering a minimum of services for a maximum of cost. Throe conditions will continue until this lamentable experiment in nationalisation is abandoned and the railways once more resort to the individuat control of their expert directors, stimulated by competition. Not until then can the working man took for his pre-war cheap excursion, not until then' can the grocer and tradesman expect to secure goods within reasonable time of their being put on the rails, not until then can the reports of the West Wales coast regain the popularity that once was their. It is a striking instance and it is one that every thinking person must carefully consider. It is the more deserving of consideration in view of the proposals which are being put forward at the present time by the advocates of nationalisation. These gentle- men are just- now making strenuous efforts to secure another such costly and disastrous experiment in the coal industry of the king- dom and their procedure before the Coal Commission shows they have but a very poor conception of what is actually taking place with regard to the railways. With one great Ftervioe paralysed, and an absolute essen-I tial tike coal in the hands of experimenters can it seriously be suggested that Great Britain will be in a position to compete with her .opponents for world trade. One of the points in re-construction is that oversea trade must be developed, but if the wH]-o'-the-wisp of nationalisation is followed re-con'-truction in this regard will perish in embryo. The time is too serious to aUow of any further juggling with great industries and means of communi- cation. If Britain were a little town in Mexico it would be ea&y to play with new

She also wore a bridal veil with wreaths of white heather and orange blossom, and carried a spray of lilies of the valley and carnations. The bride was escorted to the altar by her eldest brother Mr. Gri- fnth Owen, the Diocesan Registrar, and was given away by her mother. The bridesmaids were her two sisters, Miss Myfanwv Owen aj]d M)ss Nest Owen, who wore pa<e pink n'non with overskirts of lace and tuile, which were! matched with grey tul!e hats, lined with blue a.nd trimmed with pale nink nowers.

WRITING on New Year't Day, 1918, Mrs. B. E. Sanders, of Hersham Farm, Long- cross, near Chertsey, said:—" I have cause to be happy these days for since Doan's Fills rid me of kidney disease, dropsy and rheumatism, ten years ago, I have enjoyed excellent health, and have been blessed with four of the bonniest children imaginable. We call them Doan's Happy Family." First Published in 1908. Interviewed on November 25th, 1908, Mrs. Sanders, who was nursing a winsome baby girl, said:—"But for Doan's Pills I wouldn't be sitting here as happy as you see me now. Two years ago, while iirst expecting motherhood, I was stricken down by kidney trouble, rheu- matism, a.nd dropsy. Our worst fears were rea-Iised, for a baby boy was prematurely born and only lived eight days. Similar misfortune happened next year; another baby boy was born and lived but one expectant I used Doan's Pills right through short month. "I was almost broken-hearted at this re- peated disappodntment. But later I read of a case like mine being remedied by Doan's Pills, with the happiest after-results. So when next the bonny baby girl you see was born to me. Both she, and I are in sp!endid condition, and we owe this to Doan's Pills. (Sgd.) B. E. Sanders."

LIaniiar Sessions. Frilay, before Mr. G. W. Parry, Dr. Edward Roberts, and Mr. C. M. Williams. Minimum Wage Rate.—Rowland Morgan, Gianrat'on Farm, Llanilar, was summoned by William Jones Williams, Bee Hive, Traws- fynydd, inspector under the Agricultural Wages Board, for having failed to pay a workman named John M. Evans at a rate not less than the minimum ratB as nxej under the Corn Production Act, 1917.-Mr Hugh Hughes was for the prosecutor and Mr. W. P. Owen de- fended.—Mr. Hughes said at the time John Morgan Evans was engaged by the defendant the wages were nxei at 31s., 12s. 6d. for board and lodging for forty-eight hours a week, with 8sd. an hour over time on week days and lOd. 2 an hour overtime on Sundays. John M. Evans was engaged to work sixty hours per week a.nd three hours on Sun lays, and for this he was to be paid 24g. a week and board and lodging which was placed at 12s. 6d., and at the rate of pay nxei by the Board the total payment should have been B2 2s. per week, so that there was 5s. 6d. per week due ,to Evans. An Inspector of the Wages Board called at the farm and saw the defendant, but the latter refused to change the ra,ta of pay.—William Jonets Williams,. inspector unjter the Agri- cultural Wages Board, said it was part of his duty to interview local secretaries of Agri- cultural Workers' Union and in December last lie saw John Morgan Evans at the farm and also the defendant, who was there. He told defcn iant he was an' inspector and inquired what was the rate of wages he was paying. Defendant said 24s., board and lodging for a week of 63 hours.—Mr. Owen Did the defend- ant sav those wor'ts?—Witness: He did, sir. I drew the attention of the defendant to the fact that he was not paying the wages fixed by the Board. Defendant said I had no busi- ness to interfere between the master and the worker, as Evans hal agreed to work for those terms. I asked defendant if he would sign an undertaking to comply with the order from the Board. Defendant refused to io so.—Mr. Owen: He was perfectly justified.—By the Chairman: Mr Morgan was rather excited at the time.—The Chairman: These orders are hard things to adjust by the farmers—Witness fsaidJefendant refused to give any promise and said the order had been drawn up by bramless, lazy fools.—Mr. Owen That is a matter of opinion I suppose.—Witmess: The defendant could not give attention to -what I said.—Cross-examined by Mr. Owen: Do you seriously say that defendant engaged Evans to work sixty-three hours a week ?—Witness: Yes.—Mr. Owen You were going on the assumption that Evans worked sixty-three hours?—Witness: Yes—Mr Hughes pointed out that if a man was en- gaged by the week and only worked one hour a day he was to be paid the full wages.—John Morga<n Evans, employed by the iefendant, said he was secretary of the local branch of the Agricultural Workers' Union and had worked for defen-iant for nearly fourteen years. He was re-engaged on November 13th by the defendant in the presence of Ja:ne Grifnths, the housekeeper, and Lewis Morris, the cowman. He was to work sixty-three hours a week, be paid 24s ani nave board amd lodging for seven days.—The Chairman: Did you always work full hours ?—Witness: Yes, if I lost an hour I would make it up. From November up to March I worked those hours.—Cross-ex- amined At the time he was engaged he did not know what were the actual rates fixed by the Board but two weeks later he told defen- dant he was not getting the full amount due to him. He took defendant's team of horses to go to Tynewyid with a load.—Mr. Owen: You did that with permission ?—Witness: No. There was an understanding?—Re-examined: Did you have a heifer off def en jant?—Wit- ness No.—Mr. Hughes: There is a custom to orive a worker something at the completion of seven years service —Witness: Yes. At the end of the first seven years he gave me two sheep, but he has not given me anything at the end of the second period. It is the usual custom to lend teams to neighbouring farmers. —Miss Grunths, housekeeper, GIajirafon, con- firmed the evidence of the last witness.—The defendant was called and said the rate agreed upon was 24s a. week, 48 hours during the week, and 3 hours on Sunday. This worked out at 18 6d. for the week days and 5s. 6d. for the Sundays, making 24s. an 3 board and lodg- in?. He never heard anything about 63 hours. H? never gave Evans permission to take the team and cart .to go to another farm.—The Chairman: If he was only entitled to 2s. 6d. for Sundays why did you pay him 5s. 6d?— Defendant: That is how it was; he agreed to 24s.—Cross-examined: If the Inspector said witness engaged Evans for 63 hours a week for 24s he was a liar.—Mr. Hughes: Evans is a good servant?—Defendant (hesitated): Well _Mr. Hughes: There was no trouble until this Act last year?—Defendsct: Yes; but they lost a mare last year worth about SlOO.—Mr. Hughes: But you re-engaged him? (Laughter.). Evans has been using your horse and carb ani paid you for it?—Defendant: Yes.—Mr. Owen said he had only been instructed the night before and so far as he could see it would re- quire a Philalelphian lawyer to go through and understand those orders. He asked the Bench if they decided to convict to deal with the case unier the First Offender's Act, this being the first case of its kind in the county.— Fined S3 3s., ordered to pay JB3 3s. costs, and to make up the deficiency due to the worker, amounting to JS5 16s. $d. No. Lights.—David Nathaniel Jones, Rhy ly- cochiaid, Llanfihangel-y-Creuddyn, was sum- moned for having a. bicycle at 10-45 p.m. on the night of May 4th without a light. De- fendant did not appear.—P.O. R. Davies said jefendant's excuse was that he had damaged his lamp and had thrown it away. There was no rear lamp.—Fined El including costs. The Live Stock Sales' Order.—Benjamin Davies, Ty Mawr, Yspytty Cynfyn, was charged with having sold a beast for slaughter contrary to the Live Stock Sales' Order be- tween 1st and 31st January. William Dav]e8, butcher, Devil's Briige, was charged with having bought the beast and slaughtered in contravention of the Order—Mr. W. P. Owen- was for the prosecution.—Benjamin Davies said he sold the animal, but it was not a fat beast —Mr. Owen: It does not matter whether it was fat or lean—Defendant: I did not sell the beast for slaughter.—The Chairman: Was it slaughtered ?-Mr. Owen: Yes, on his own premises.—Wm. Davies p)eaded gui!t.v ,?,? charge.—Mr. Owen said the second defendant bought a bull from Benjamin Davies for E15. When charged with having committed the offence, Wm. Davjes wrote to the Commissioner and sail he had sold the bull to a man. He was then asked to whom he had sold it, and he replied he had sold it to a stranger from Llanidloos. Inquiries were maie by the police and they traced the sale of meat to several persons. The second defendant did not draw anv beef luring the weeks he had the bull for sale in portions. On March 7th, Benjamin Davies wrote begging for leniency from the Commissioner as he had lived a life without blemish and gave a full explanation as to the killing and disposal of the meat.—Mr. Owen said there had been over 1,000 cases ot illicit killings in their area and it was time steps were taken to put a stop to ib.—Evidence was given bv Inspector Geo. E. Roidy who investi- gated the case and sail defendants admitted the offence and he said over 3,000 animals hai been slaughtered illicitly in his area whtch covered the whole of the seven South Wales counties and home bred meat was becoming scarce.—Defeniants put up a plea. of ignorance, but Mr. Owen said the Orders hai been printed in English and Welsh and circulated.— Beniamm Davies was fined C5 5s. and Sl Is. costs, an! Wm. Davies JE10 10s. and S2 2s. costs.

CORRESPONDENCE- SOLDIERS HOMECOMING. Sir,—There is sometlúng to be said about the complaint made by a soldier at Wednesday night's meeting, as to the non-reception of the men. Have people forgotten that the men discharged are the volunteers of 1914-15 upon, whom fell the whole brunt of the nghtiyg These men are deserving of special recognition because they were all volunteers.
