SERIOUS TROUBLE FEARED. ir
SERIOUS TROUBLE FEARED. r POWER TO HAND IN N0TICKS It is no secret, writes a well-inic)Traed cor- l-espondent of a Cardiff contemporary, that the eoaJowjners are taking a most serious view of the present situation in the South Wales coalfield, and that many of them fear that a struggle is inevitable. The differences between them and the miners' leaders, and particularly the invali- dating effect of the Miners' Eight Hours Act on the wages, were exhaustively considered a.t a largely attended meeting of the asso- ciation, neid at Ca-rdut on Friday last, and, to adopt a. pnrase used by one who was present—"The coaiowtiers as a body were never more united in their determination to resist some of the cKxus recently made by I the miners." The association, it is added, adopted unanimously an attitude of "no compromise' on the principle underlying the dispute concerning paymem for work in abnormal places, and determined also to oppose tooth and nail the demand of the miners that the minimum wage-rate under the new agree- ment should represent at least the existing standard races, plus 30 per cent. The ooalowners' representatives have been given plenary pewers to dealt as they think fit with matters as they arise, and the colliery owners individually have re- ceived powers to hand in notices to all their workmen without exception on June 1st next.
OPINION ON SWANSEA EXCHANGE.
OPINION ON SWANSEA EX- CHANGE. POSITION REGARDED AS SERIOUS. Opinion on Swansea Coal Exchange is that the outlook is serious, and the general impression is that ii-o surprise would b8 fejt if a crisis were brought about. One promineat Valley colliery proprietor stated that the men were now. receiving far more in comparison than what owners were getting, -and he instanced collieries that weie losing as much as 3s. to 4s. on every ton. The owners, he said, were only getting for the coal the prices they got when wages were at the minimum. Several of the larger collieries were only able to continue on a.c- count of the favourable running contracts made some time ago. The condition of the local coal trade shows no improvement.

"OWIN RH©SC0MYL'S" SWAN- SEA…
"OWIN SWAN- SEA LECTURE. SCHOLARLY TREATMENT OF "EARLY" WELSH HISTORY." "DEWI SANT" NEVER THE NATIONAL SAINT. FIGHTING PROWESS OF THE CYMRY. The Central Hail, Swansea, was three- parts filled on Tuesday evening to listen to a historical and literary treat, viz., the sub- ject of "Early Welsh History," at the bands of that distinguished soldier and litterateur, Captain Owen Vaughan ("Owen Rhos- oomyd"), whose love of country led him to take a prominent part in the South African War, his brilliant services to Hamilton, Rimaigton, Kntton. French, Damunt, and Hots being well known. As a scout he has rendered heroic service, of which his coun- trymen are deservedly prooo but Captain Owen a.iignari combines other gilts. He jg a writer of power, end as an essayist and historian has done much to remove racial misa'indereftandings and introduce into the school the true history of Wales. The Mayor (Councilor Tutton) presided, and spoke of Owen Rhoscomyl's patriotism. But in tlie patriot and soldier, he added, they had the true type of a Welsh gentleman—a inaji of determination and one willing to give up his life should the occasion require. Then for nearly two hours and a half Owen Rhoscoiiiyl, in a scholarly and enter- taining way, dwelt upon the earlier phases of Welsh history, tracing the origin of the Cymry, the developments that have attend- ed the race, and their noble achievements- It was plainly evident Captain Vaughan was suffering under a disadvantage—the effects of malaria are still upon him—and though his voice was in a measure hoarse, he plimg- ed heart and soul into the subject and ri- vetted the attention of all present by the olmrm and romance of his narrative. He asked them to realise that to be a good Welshman was not to be anti-English. anti- Scotch, or anti-Irish. He showed them the responsibilities that lay upon them as a race. and reminded hi" audience that in the old Welsh law nothing belonged to man or woman but tho blood in their veins, because it wns the blood of thedr ancestors; it was tho Wood that owned all property and all rights, and that was the blood in the Welsh- man's veims to-day. Splendid things had been dono in the ppjst. and that would be the measure of our degradation if we did not set ourselves in our own sphera to do as our ancestors did before us, and whoever did his best did as imich a.s those who had gone before. I^et honour bo their first and last word; there was no greater damnation than turning their "backs from the struggle in front. "Christ died for n:°n, net for things. Can you prove vell are melt?", This was the text. By one old Welsh law, no ma-ttei where a man came from, if he was living in Wales and doing his best for the country, he was a Cymro. Then the lecturer denounced the methods cf teaching Welsh history in the Principality — leaching which was erroneous m many of the facts, and in aI, leging that their ancestors were a race of cowards. Some years ago there was a Wekih. Land Commission, from which a great deal was expected, and in their book published seme time afterwards, his friends, Sir John Rhys and Sir Brvnmor Jones, acquiesced in this statement—that something was lacking in the Welshman that the Englishman and Scotsman f.Osseesed. Hew did they account for it? In this way. The Scotch boy whoa he went to school was taught the history of Scotland it was so taught as to make tun: feel that, there was no finer race in the world. The English lad was taught the his- tory of his race and country in the same spirit, but the Welsh children were not taught their true history, and, it was high time that state of things was remedied and the Welshman made to realise the innate greatness of his race. and the fact that in the annals of this Empire there were no braver men..{Loud applause;. After de- scribing in detail the rule and government of earlier iiiitaiu, the lecturer pointed out tliuL the Cymry were descendants oi Maximus, though the Ssxous, "who Cams to Britain in 364 A.D., were older. He showed how the rule of succession operated, the division and sub-division, and then de- nounced the twaddle cf saying that one part of the descendants of Maximus were superior to the others: then he traced the first Cymry wave. the second and the third, and mentioned that as late, as the 13th century it. was a. disgrace to any Welshman to die in bed. The one place for a Welshman to die was fighting for his-cosistry. The Cymry's ances- tors did not come from England, and the race was not conquered. The race was a peooie that the Romans—who came to Britain to capture the minerals—could never conquer, being descended from the Picts and Scots, who, in the far north, were invulnerable. Dividing his lecture into two parts, Ca.pt. Vanghan afterwards proceeded to show that first hand original evidence abounded to show that the conceptions and tneories of English historical writers about Wales gave a false viuw of the race, and in the coming years they would find scholars—he was afraid they would not be W clsh-Drowdbg into Wales to work in this marvellous Sold of historical material in order to bring to light the truth. There was no country in the world which had such a splendid re- ward awaiting the investigator. The speaker once estimated that at the least the work would employ seven earnest and enthusistic men for twenty years, but a German &colar, whom he expressed that opinion to, said that not all the scholars of any one University in the world could ex- haust the subject- in a generation. (Ap- plause). Welshmen had in the past taken the Oxford estimate of their history and apologised for themselves, but the truth was that no raca in history all through had a history or story prouder than their own. (Ap- plause). It had been said that Wales a-ione of all European races had no scientific his- tory. but the Cymry alone of all the races of Europe could give absolutely reliable statements from every generation that held property, role, and power in Wales from 368 A.D. to the present time. The title of the land upon which every building was erected was drawn from Maximus, the an- cestor of the Saxon, and the An gfe, St' far as he lived in England, the Scotsmen, Welshmen,, and the greater part of the Irishmen. The lecturer mentioned that the ancestors of the race were never home rulers except in tins respect—that- the old Crown of Maximus was responsible for the defence of these islands, and they could claim every mar, no matter whether Welsh, Scotch or English, to come to the front and take hi< place in the field. The first duty of Welshmen was to the Crown Imperial", which was now the Crown of the British Empire. Welsh was not our name, but Cymry. Welsh was the Saxon name for Britain. Our ancestors were fighters, and were not afraid of death; moreover, he men- tioned that Dewi Sant was never the na- tional saint 01 Wales, and Iris name wras not David, (laughter). The first time that the Cymry held the ereatest part- of Wales was in 832. Coun. D. Davies, in proposing a vote of thanks to the lecturer, said they would all admit they had been in contact with a veiy earnest and original mind, and the onlv ck- fect they might discover was that Captain Yaughan had compressed into one lecture enough material for six. They were greatly indebted to the lecturer for giving so much of nis time and talent to the public service for Wales. They ought to thank him. too. that lie went through the South African War as the finest examplo of Welshmen there, and he said that in praise of the blood. Capt. Vaughan had ablv h«ld up the torch, showing the duty of W elsh people to Wales he was teaching a high concep- tion of duty and raised before the ooonlp noble ideals.

It was very gratifying to note how the admirable position of Pert. Talbot was becoming known to shippers a.nd others.
