Empire Day. To the Editor of the Rhondda Leader." Sir,—Empire Day will soon be round, again, and as a rule, wherever there are any detachments or companies of Terri- torials, they generally have a Church Parade. Would it not be a grand and patriotic sight to see all old service men of the districts where there are any Territorials, taking part in the parade with them? If the officers commanding companies or detachments think the idea a. good one, a letter in your highly esteemed paper, inviting all old service men to take part in the parade, would, I am sure, be highly appreciated and would meet with a hearty response from scores of old veterans, who would be only too delighted to march behind the drum once more. Hoping that I am not en- croaching on the space of your valuable paper.—Yours truly. Q.-M.-S. To the Editor of the Rhondda Leader." Sir,—Will you please allow me to cor- rect an error in your report of my remarks made at the last Council meeting under the heading, Better Protection Against Fire."

The Blaenclydach Stoppage
The Blaenclydach Stoppage Resumption of Work. A meeting of the men employed at the Blaenclydach Colliery was held on Mon- day, Mr. Charles Manning presiding. The secretary (Mr. c: L. Thomas) having read the minutes of the preceding meeting, wherein it was stated that the men had agreed to work on the large coal assuming that they failed to get the through-and-through system re-introduced, the Chairman explained that the depu- tation, consisting of Messrs). Lane, J. Thomas, W. Thomas, and himself, to- gether with the agent, Mr.. D. Watts Morgan, had met the employers on the previous Friday, and he believed they had done the best they possibly could do under the circumstances. Being,that Mr. D. Watts Morgan was now present, he would leave it to that gentleman to ex- plain what had been done in the matter. Mr. D. Watts Morgan explained his regret for having kept the meeting wait- ing. It was, however, the important pro- ceedings at Cardiff in reference to the Eight Hours Act which accounted for his detention. The speaker went on to say that with reference to the coal- owners' suggestion to refer the matter of the Eight Hours Act to a nominee of the Lord Chancellor, he and his colleagues had formed a definite opinion, but he thought it inopportune and premature to give expression to their views at present. He could fully endorse the expressions made by the owners that the situation required very careful consideration, and all that he could say in regard to the offer made by the owners was that it was quite a new thing to be introduced into the relationship between the owners and workmen, not only as it applied to the South Wales coalfield, but throughout Great Britain. If they acceded to the present proposal of the owners, then the same procedure might have to be followed after the passing of every Act of Parlia- ment bearing upon the. coal industry. It would have to be remembered that the Mines Eight Hours Act would operate throughout the United Kingdom and was not applicable to Wales alone. He would say advisedly that if they, were to be called upon in this way to adjust matters after the passing of each Act of Parlia- ment affecting the coal industry, then their hands would be pretty full in the future. This had never been done in the past, and the whole of the workmen's representatives had come to the con- clusion that it would be a dangerous pre- cedent which would be equally dangerous in the interests of the employers as well as those of the workmen. It was his sincere hope that the owners' representa- tives on the Conciliation Board were voicing the viewa of all the employers in South Wales when they declared that they did not intend to raise mere technicalities and that they were desirous to avoid a rupture at the end of June, and he thought it incumbent upon the workmen's representatives to reciprocate that feel- ing. All that they as miners' representa- tives asked was that the Act should be given a fair trial, and if any disabilities did rise owing to its operatori, then these disabilities could be easily dealt with at the time that they were being experienced (applause). Coming to the matter for which that meeting had been called, as referred to by the Chairman, Mr. Morgan explained that since the stoppage of the colliery, in accordance with the wishes of the men they had kept in touch with the directors, and from time to time steps had been taken with the view to seeing whether there could be obtained any hopes of a settlement so that work might be resumed. On the preceding Friday the request was repeated that the men should be allowed to continue to work on the through-and- through system, which had been in vogue at the colliery prior to the stop- page. It was then seen, however, that it was a matter of impossibility to secure the. resumption of operations on this con- dition, and eventually the employers were told that the men had considered the proposal to fill large coal, but that they would only be prepared to give this a trial conditionally upon a guarantee being given that all men working in abnormal places should receive adequate allowances (hear, hear). Though the employers were not prepared to reduce this arrangement into writing, Mr. Trevor Thomas gave the assurance that he. would be prepared to meet the Lodge Committee and himself (Mr. Morgan) whenever the allowances made by the manager did not satisfy the men, and that all these cases, should any arise, would receive Mr. Thomas' personal attention, so as to arrive at an amicable settlement of all such disputes. He (Mr. Morgan) and the deputation had made it, abundantly clear that where there might I be a failure to settle these disputes that the men concerned would be authorised to put down their tools and abstain from work until fair payment was made for the work done. The proprietors desired the introduction of certain changes with regard to rippings, headings, and other matters; but he was glad to tell the meeting that all those proposed changes were brushed aside, and the only change which would now take place was that the men would be expected to fill large in- stead of through-and-through coal (ap- plause). The Chairman: We did make a fight to maintain the through-and-through system, but I believe that the best has been done under the circumstances (hear, hear). A resolution was then unanimously agreed to confirming the arrangements made by Mr. D. Watts Morgan and the deputation for the immediate resumption of work. The Chairman said that a few remarks had come to his ears that since Friday some of the deputation had made a good thing out of the settlement, and now that the Press was present, he desired to publicly refute this insinuation. Mr. D. Watts Morgan said that the suggestion was too dirty and contemptible to talk about it. As a matter of fact, the deputation were men whom they should all be proud of (applause). They were brave and courageous enough to meet this difficulty as men should, and when occa- sion called for it they were not backward in talking very straightlv to the owners (applause). It was, indeed, the least that the meeting could do would be to place on record in their minutes their appre- ciation of the splendid work they hsd done (applause). Acting upon Mr. Morgan's suggestion, a hearty vote of thanks was accorded the deputation, and amidst acclamation an equally cordial vote of thanks was given Mr. D. Watts Morgan for the way he had fought for the Blaenclydach workmen.

Sylwn arnynt fel y caiilyn: "Awstin Fynach."—Nid yw'r awdwr wedi llwyr feistroli rheolau ysgrifenu Oymraeg. Par yr atalnodau flinder nid bychan iddo; ceir ymaambell air wedi ei sillebu'n anghywir; a rhai ffurfiau ym- adrodd anffodus, megys "pa un yn lie yr hwn neu y sawl." Gyda'r eithriad o hyn ysgrifena mewn Oymraeg eryf, ac y mae ganddo rai brawddegau nodedig o rymus. Y bai mwyaf yn yr ysgrif hon yw fod yr ymdriniaeth yn unochrog. Pwysleisia'r awdwr y dylanwadau dirywiol a niweidiol ar fywyd. Mae da.rllen y testyn yn y goleu unochrog yma yn cyfyngu gormod o lawer arno. Buasai ymdrin- iaeth fwy cyflawn heb enwi agweddau mor fanwl ar yr amgylchoedd, yn fwy effeithiol fel cyfanwaith. Miriam. "-Bliiiir Miriam eto gan fan hethaui mewn ysgrifenu Cymraeg, er fod ei thraethawd yn hyn o beth ar y oyfan yn ganmoladwy iawn. Metha gan mwyaf mewn sillebu ambell air, ac mewn arddull dipyn yn wasgaredig. Heblaw fod gosod- iadau o dan y penawd cyntaf yn gyfryw y gellid yn hawdd eu gwrthdroi, bu Miriam yn dra esgeulus gydag ymdrin a'r mater oddiar safbwynt y byd materol. Gallasai yn hawdd ychwanegu at werth ei gwaith wrth ddatgan ei meddwl ar y pwynt yma. Ceir ganddi ymdriniaeth bwrpasol ar yr ail benawd, er ei bod yn gogwyddo i bregethu gormod o ddyled- ewydd. Yr adran fwyaf helaeth a chynwysfawr yw yr olaf. Ceir yma gyfuniad cryno o natur yr amgylchiadau a chynghorion buddiol. Pe'r rhanaui ereill wedi eu gweithio allan mor gyflawn a hon, buasai yr ysgrif hon yn codi llawer yn ei safle. lAadmei-ydd.Agon*r yr yagrif hon gydag ymdriniaeth athronyddol ddigon teg a phwrpas ar gymeriad. Teimlwn ei fod mewn rhanau, megys yn ei ymdrin- iaeth ar ddylanwad yr aelwyd, yn pwys- leisio mwy ar nodweddion aelwyd nac ar ffurfiau ei dylanwad ar fywyd. Braidd yn arwynebol y cyffyrddodd yr awdwr a dylanwad y greadigaeth ar gymeriad. Gallasairawdwr hepgor rhai pwyntiau dibwys yn ffafr hyn. Mae arddull yr ysgrif hon yn syml a rhwydd. Y brofed- igaeth fawr iddo yn ei ysgrifen yw lie yr "h" mewn geiriau, ac yn arbenig ar ddechreu geirlau a llafariad yn llythyren gyntaf ynddynt. Arfer y glust yn unig a'i gwareda oddiwrth y bai hwn. Ysgrif gryno a chanmoladwy yw hon. ]Lthody-w.Mae arddull wasgarog, lac yr ysgrif, hon yn milwrio yn ei herbyn fel cyfanwaith llenyddol. 1 Nid yw'r awdwr yn feistr ar y grefft o ieuo brawddegau yn hapus yn eu gilydd. Y mae amseriad y ferf yn ei flino yn ami. Tripia yn fynyeh wrth atalnodi a sillebu. Ond er hyn, y. mae yma lawer o ymadroddion oryf, oyhyrog, iach sydd yn awgrymu meddwl gwrteithiedig. Dim ond i'r awdwr sylwi yn fanwl, fe wel nad yw'r penawd cyntaf yn d'od yn briodol o fewn cylch y testyn. Gwahaniaetha meddylwyr rhwng amgylchfyd ac etifeddiad. Gadaw- odd yr awdwr yn ddisylw yr elfen o ddylanwad y byd naturiol. Yr ydym yn hoffi yn fawr don iach, eancfrydig yr awdwr, a chymhellwn ef i roddi mwy o sylw i arddull mwy caboledig. Gildas."—The author of this essay wields a facile pen. His language is pure, and his style charming in its simplicity. Our only cause for complaint against this well-written essay is as to its content. His introduction is a sort! of a dissertation on the quality and value of character. He is so much taken up with the idea of character, that he inter- prets the subject as the influence of char- acter upon character. This is a too narrow interpretation of the subject. Environment means much more than mere human influence. The scope of this suffers in consequence of this limitation of definition. But looked upon from the standpoint of the author, we have only praise for his work. leuan. "-This is the most comprehen- sive and scholarly essay in the competi- tion. The author shows intimate know- ledge of his subject in the light of modern thought. The treatment as a whole is masterly and convincing. His definitions a/e clear and to the point; the criticism as sane and direct, and the whole compass of the subject is lighted up with flashes of illuminating imagination. I have no fresitation in awardng Ieuan the prize, of which he is very worthy. ENGLYN, CLOCK YR YSGOL DYDDIOL."
