I ______ I LOWER COAL OUTPUT.
LOWER COAL OUTPUT. DECREASE OF NEARLY 11 PER CENT. A Home Office report issued on Friday states that the output of coal, which from 287,411,869 tons in 1913 fell to 2Go,643,000 tons in 1914 and to 253,179.446 tons in 1915, amounted in 1916 to 256,348,351 tons. The number of persons employed was 998,063. These figures show a decrease of 129,827 persons on the pre-war year of 1913, but an increase of 44,421 persons on the figures for 1915. The rate of decrease on pre-war figures in the output of coal is about 10.8 per cent., and in the number of person? employed about 11.5 per cent.
MERTHYR CUARDIANS' FINANCES
MERTHYR CUARDIANS' FINANCES The report of the district auditor (Mr. D. E. Probert) on the acoounts of the Alerthyr Board of Guardians for the half-year ended in September last, was discussed at a special meeting of the Alaintenance Committee on Wednesday, Air. J. Lloyd presiding. The Clerk made a statement justifying the position he had taken up with reference to strike re- lief cases and other special cases, and said he advised the Board not to appoint the relieving officers as collectors for the recovery of strike relief. Dealing with the wiping off of arrears, the Clerk as- serted that the Board had, in law, the right to wipe off arrears in special cir cumstanees. If he was wrong, let the auditor test it in court.—What was de- scribed as "the notorious Barry case'' was next considered, and the Clerk sub- mitted a full statement, showing that a mail against whom the magistrate6 made an order for payment of 12s. per week. now contributed 2s. 6d. per week—the amount which the Guardians thought was all he could really afford. The auditor had intimated that he thought he would surcharge the Guardians in respect to that case.-The Rector of Dowlais: The Maintenance Committee gave certain instructions, and they were not followed. That's where the whole trouble came in. If he surcharges we can't defend it. When Mr. Ll. Richards (the warrant officer) said he found out where the man worked through the police, Air. Harry Evans described it as "disgraceful and disrespectful" to ask the police to make inquiries about a respectable man. The Clerk: The officer had to use his discretion. The Rector of Dowlais: Officers are subject to this Board, or I go out of it. Air. T. T. Jenkins subsequently moved that another application for a reduction should be made to the magistrates, but eventually withdrew it and it was de- cided to await events.

A poor Irishman offered an old sauce- pan for sale. His children inquired why lie parted with it. "Ah! my honeys," answered he, "I would not be after part- ing with it, but for a little money to buy something to put in it."

Williams, pastor, emphasised the need of rousing the sense of the nation to some of its present day perils and obligations. Among them was the grave can for the preserving of the nations' strength nhysically. financially a i -I morally. Tie- nation and even the Empire need be roused to the fact that victory when it came would lie but the frnit of the sufferings of the soldiers -and sailors. As churclics they should raise their voices Miat the nation, to be honourable in its obligations, would see that the boys and dependents should be cared for and well looked after. Our great peril was to cast the sailors and soldiers aside, thoughtless and heedless of the great manual fortune amassed by them for us in this war through their unspeakable sufferings. Victory and peace and goodwill would ring down the avenue of generations to come. Let us guard the time of that ring. Let its echo be pttTe and strong, for shall we not do our part in helping to preserve, even bv national law. the strength and happiness of our boys. This was not a party question. politically or religiously. It was a question deeply affecting the manhood of our national life.—A social had been arranged by the Young People's So- eiety, together with the Young Helping l-b ndLeague, to welcome Alessrs. Jones and Stokes and their families. Tray- j holders: Mrs. Ritchings, Airs. Alorgan Davies, Aliss Sarah Beaton, Mrs. R. O. Thomas, Airs. W. J.

He went through the Dardanelles Campaign, was wounded and brought to this country. He was for 7 months in hospital in Liverpool. He had fever after having been wound- ed, which left him with a weak heart. He came home on leave, and had a cordifil reception by his many friends. Subsequently he was sent to Egypt. In 8 days after landing he was killed in action at Gaza. A message of condo- lence from the King and Queen has been received by his mother and sister. He was the oflly son of Airs. A.

i ABERDARE APPEAL ALLOWED.
ABERDARE APPEAL ALLOWED. Searching of Miners' Clothes. In the King's Bench Divisional Court on Wednesday the Lord Chief Justice and Justices Ridley and Row- lett heard an appeal arising out of n prosecution under the Coal Alines Act, 1911, at Aberdare Petty Sessions. Mr. Disturnal, K.C., said the matter came before the Court as a case stated by the magistrates on 30th August last, when the manager of the Tower Colliery. Hirwaiu. prosecuted a man named Lewis employed at the colliery as a haulier. The offence charged was under Section 35 of the Mines Act. 1911, and charged the defendant with having a match in his possession while in the mine. It appears from the case stated fhat on 13th June. at 9 a.m., when respondent was working in the day shift, appellant, in company with the under-manager and two workmen, commenced searching the men below ground, in accordance with the pro- visions of the Act. Appellant met re- spondent bringing up a tramload of coal, and searched his waistcoat and trousers, but with no result. Respond- ent's coat, hanging some ten yards away, was then searched, and a match w as" found, though, according to re- spondent, he searched himself before enterino- the mine, found no match, and gave his pipe up. Before the magis- trates respondent contended that the search was unauthorised, as he was not searched before he commenced work, and appellant was not the proper per- son to search. The Lord Chief Justice said he thought it was immaterial, as the match was found in his possession while in the mine. L ————— Counsel added that^ the magistrates held that the appellant did not conform to the provisions of the Coal Mines Act because he did not cause the work- man to be searched before he rol11- nienced work, and he was not searched by the person authorised therefore j the magistrates could not convict re- spondent. Thet Lord Chief Justice held that the magistrates were wrong in refusing to convict, and the case must go back? The appeal would be allowed with costs.
