Mountain Ash Jottings.
Mountain Ash Jottings. BY LUCIFER." At least we breathe more freely thar a week ago, for the decision arrived at by the vast crowd on Cefn Glas Moun- tain last Sunday afternoon has given a respite to those anxious feelings that pervaded everyone in the district. It is cutting it rather fine to leave a decision of such, a momentous character to the last hour, but it could not be helped under the circumstances. A. curious story reaches me in refer- ence to a non-unionist who borrowed a sum of money from a gentleman in high position to pay up the Federation de- mands. Up to a late hour last Saturday night the individual had not arrived at the lodge with his payments. Those who braved the elements at the Duffryn Grove Sports had something for their money, for it was a fine. sporting programme, and the tea was done splen- did justice to. Perhaps rainy weather does make for a good appetite, and it is tc be hoped that good digestion waited on it. The billiard carnival at the Inatitule wa,s a complete success, although the at- tendance was very sparse. I understand that greater players will pay a visit later on in the season. Sir Marchant Williams changed his mind, and such a ohange too! Whatever it was that made our Stipendiary per- form such a complete volte face, must be left to the imagination. It does not require the brains of a Philadelphian lawyer to solve the problem, for to my mind it was brought about by Mr. F. P. Charles' notice of appeal, purely and simply. The question naturally arises, Would the change of mind have taken place had there been no notice of appeal? Again, why should Mr. Rees be mulcted with costs ? If there were no offence why should the landlord have to pay those expenses? Hasty judgments arrived at without due consideration of the whole facts of a case have before now brought about irrepar- able calamities; they have sent many a poor fellow to, his doom, aye, and to the undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveller returns-" The Mountain Ash Buffs are holding their annual Church Parade next Sun- day, when a special service will be held at St. Margaret's Church. The sermon will be preached by the Rev. D. E. Roberts, M.A., the Chaplain of the Sir- dar Lodge. Sunday trading is exciting a large amount of attention in our district, and, as the Stipendiary observed, the 5s. ine was not a deterrent. I cannot under- stand why a. shopkeeper who sells a penn'orth of fags should be fined, any more than the rfaff Vale engine drivers, or the cabman who takes a fare to Pen- deryn, or, for the matter of that, the chef who cooks my Lord Bishop's dinner. I should like to know whether a tobac- conist's licence states- it is only for 6 days. The law always was a a hass," and I suppose will continue to be so to the end.

COALOWNERS AND NON-UNIONISM.…
COALOWNERS AND NON-UNIONISM. | At the mon-tic mass meeting of the Taff and Cynon Miners, held on the Cefn Glas Mountain on Sunday, Mr. T. Au- drews, Ti-eliari-is; made the somewhat startling announcement that "at Tre- liarris the Ocean Colliery Company had met them freely and frankly, and re- cognising the fact that all the men's wages were regulated by the Conciliation Board agreement, to the cost of which the men had to pay, had agreed to sup- port the men's contention, and had given an undertaking that all non-Unionists should either join the Federation or leave the colliery by the end of Septern- her. They had further undertaken to allow the men's representatives to' see every man who wan employed had a clear card, and to examine the em- ployers' books in order to get the name of every man employed and to make a mark thereon to draw the attention of the management to him if lie was not a Unionist. The manager had further undertaken that if the men at Merthyr Vale and Mountain Ash came out on strike he would employ no new men until that strike was over." This introduction of an entirely new attitude on the part of the coilowners will have an important •bearing on the troublesome question of non-unionism in the South Wales Coal- field. Hitherto the employers have held themselves aloof from matters pertain- ing to the organisation of the men. They have refused to make any distinction between unionist and non-unionist, and have resolutely refused to assist the Federationists in their efforts to bring all workers into the Federation. But, ac- cording to Mr. Andrews' statement, the Ocean Colliery Co. have made a very bold departure, for they have admitted the principle that they as coalowners are, in their relation to the Conciliation Board, jointly responsible with the Federationists in insisting that all work- men whose conditions of employment and remuneration are regulated by the Con- ciliation Board, should contribute through the Miners' Federation towards the up-keep of that Board. It will be interesting to watch whether the other Welsh colliery owners will emulate the Ocean Colliery Co. If co, the early ex- tinction of the non-unionist species may be safely predicted.

Chas. Davies, Park-street, Abercynon, an ex-constable, was summoned for being drunk and disorderly on the 15th Aug., and for assaulting P.C. Williams on the 30th August. Defendant conducted his own defence, and held several sheets of foolscap paper in his hand. P.C. Williams said that on the 15th defendant was drunk iand attracted a large crowd. On the 30th, when he went to serve him with a summons, defendant asked him what it was for. Witness re- plied that it was for being drunk and disorderly. Defendant retorted, "You are a liar," and proceeded to catch hold of a poker to strike him. He (witness) then left, but defendant followed and struck him as he was leaving the house. Defendant called several witnesses, and in reply to his questions they said he was not drunk on the 15th. Defendant then gave his version of the assslult. He said that the constable forced 'his way into the house when he was bathing. He admitted calling him a liar, whereupon the constable struck him on the side of the face. He (Davies) then attempted to catch hold of the tongs, but the constable bolted out through the door. Defendant added: "It was a good job, too, that he went, or I would have given him something for striking me." There was a further charge of ob- struction against Davies, and Daviea summoned the constable for assault. These latter two cases were dismissed, and Davies was fined 10s. and costs for being drunk, and 20s. and costs or 14 days for the assault on the constable. Defendant: I shall appeal against your decision. It is a gross injustice. ROWLAND HILL'S FRANK ADMISSION.. Rowland Hill, a boy about 8 years of age, summoned Ellen Jones, married woman, living at Kennard-street, Ynys- boeth, for assault. The boy said that he was sitting on a fence one day when Mrs. Williams came on to him and struck him twice on the chest. Mrs. Williams, who spoke in Welsh, said that the boy had beaten her little boy. She asked Hill why he did so, and gave him a push. He then threw stones at her and called her vile names. 'Stipendiary (to complainant): Did you call her bad names?—-Yes, sir. Stipendiary: What did you call her?- A b old wh-. Stipendiary: Then this case is dis- missed. MARRIAGE! LINES PRODUCED. Dorothy Paltry was summoned by Maud Mullett, Abercynon, for indecent language. Mrs. Mullett said that de- fendant called her a white livered cow, and other names. Defendant said that Mrs. Mullett wa,13 I the aggressor. She had made allegations against her character by saying that she was not married to the man she was liv- ing with. She had since produced her marriage, lines to prove that she was married. She had them with her that day. Stipendiary: I don't want to see them. I am not interested. Witnet-ise8 were called for both sides, and' Mrs. Palfry was fined 10s. and costs. MISKIN LODGERS' QUARREL. ALLEGED WOUNDING. John O'Brien, lodging at 23, Albert- street, Miskin, was charged with wound- ing a, fellow lodger named James O'Suilivan. Mr. Gwilym Jones, Moun- tain Ash, defended O'Brien. O'Sullivan said he was in the house on Monday last at 12 midnight. He was drinking beer with the landlord, John Winter. O'Brien was pretending to sleep. He was asked by Winter to have a glass, but he refused, saying, "I can buy my own b- beer." A few words then took place between Winter and O'Brien, and the latter struck the former. on the back of the head with th^ poker. Winter then said, "Let things be till to-morrow morning," and went out through the back-door. O'Brien then I commenced arguing with witness and fin- ished by giving him a crack across the. head with the poker, cutting it severely. Witness ran into a. bedroom and locked himself in, while prisoner thumped at the door and wanted to get at him again- Winter in the meantime fetched a con- stable. Cross-examined by Mr. Gwilym Jones t Witness had been in several public- houses during the day, but he was not too drunk to know what he was doing. John Winter corroborated the previous- witness's evidence. Dr. M. Call ill said he examined com- plainant between 3 and 4 o'clock Tues- day morning. The wound was 1| inches long, and extended to the bone. P.C. Francis .rones deposed to arrest- ing prisoner, who admitted striking the complainant with the poker. Prisoner was committed to the Quarter- Sessions. DISCHARGED. Jonah Griffiths, a young man who was arrested on Caemaen-street, Ynysboeth. by P.S.

Upon the case being called, Sir T. lqcr, chant "Williams said that he thought the parties had better arrive at a settle- ment.
