Editorial Notes.
Editorial Notes. The reputation of the Welsh members for united action on behalf of Wales is constantly traversed. The last occa- sion was on Saturday of last week, when Mr. Vaughan Davies, the M.P. for the county, moved that a deputation of Welsh County Councils should wait upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer to secure a proper share of the proposed develop- ment grant, and the due allocation of same to the exchequers of Welsh County Councils. This grant, we understand, will be augmented this year by jE200,000, and which sum more ear-marked for the pro- motion of agriculture. The accusing fact is that in the past disbursements of this Government grant Wales came off very much in the rear of her sister countries of Scotland and Ireland. Mr. Vaughan Davies naturally, as one of the Welsh members of Parliament, laid the blame to the want of persistent unity on the part of the Welsh people in claiming their fair share. The question who is to blame, the people or their representatives in Parliament, came in for hot disputa- tion. Mr. J. H. Davies, registrar of the Aberystwyth College, could not blame the Welsh members, and gave the con- firmation. of the coming increased Uni- versity Grants as a proof of his conten- tion. We must, however, rather conceive with Mr. Peter Jones, that the Welsh members generally are not very alert in these matters. We have no Welsh Parlia- mentary Party in the sense in which the Irish Party has been organised. We know that the Irish members are always to the fore, and that they move in these matters as a disciplined party. The Welsh members are too frequently so many isolations; rarely are they mov- ing by their own initiation. With the College Grants the credit was not due to their promotion, and it is only when Wales has really been goaded to unity of action that we find them in practical activity. As representatives we expect them to watch the National interests, as well as the individual interests of their own constituencies. We want a stronger National party in the country, and when that is an accomplished fact, it is then, and then only, can we hope for a strong and vigorous representation and advocacy of Wales' National aspirations. The sudden illness of General Booth is a severe disappointment to the Rhondda. His visit was anticipated with the liveliest interest by the public of this district. It would have been an epoch events and we are certain that the reception he would have received in this population of chapel and churchgoers would have heartened the" Grand Old Man of the Salvation Army to go on to the very end of his time in his great humanity reclaiming mission, as it would also reflect that the people of Wales ap- preciate, with enthusiastic sincerity, the high purpose, noble, and religious phil- anthropy of the records he has already registered in the social isphere of darkest England and Wales. But more, the per- meating character of his Christianizing work is world-wide. In every country the flag of the Army is wafted on the pinnacles of thousands of institutions which he has initiated for helping the lowest and poorest and most unfortunate of mankind. The great distinguishing feature of the Army is the social methods adopted to hold the converts, and the equally successful principle of preced- ence, even of conversion by the practical Christianity expressed by the Shelters for the Homeless., the Cheap Food De- pots, the Slum Posts and their Angels, the Boys' Refuges, the Children's Homes, the Labour Bureaux, the Inquiry Institution for Finding Lost Men and Women, the Match Factory, the Labour Factories for' the Unemployed, Farm Colonies, and many other forms of social institutes. This is the kind of work. The "Doing" ministration has had such a, large place, indeed larger than the "Preaching" place, in happy inversion of the traditional methods. Con- versions are supported by practical sustaining agencies. It is no small triumph that this work has won the re- cognition from Governments and Authori- ties, who have shown a right perception of the enormous problems which General Booth has tackled. No less than 24 dif- ferent Governments have recognised and financially assisted the various Social Schemes of the Salvation Army. It is his boast, and his prophecy, that it is possible to save the lapsed masses, and make them pay the main cost of their own reclamation. We can but assent that this assertion is a possible realisa- tion. What is wanted is money, and visiting tours like the one, which, un- fortunately he has had to forego, would have awakened the interest and the con- science of the people to help and cheer the Great Social; and Religious General to continue his journeys down to the depths of the dark ocean of poverty, vice, and crime, and deal face to face with them in as practical a way as is in man's possibilities. The annual demonstration of the Miners at Pontypridd and at Garw indi- cate very emphatically that at last the mining fraternity of the country were for ever more a, solid military square when battles were threatened. The 20th Rule of the Miners' Federation of Great Britain has undoubtedly proved its justi- fication. Mr. Hartshorn, at the Garw meeting, described its utility in a very apt way. He was thoroughly convinced that had it not been for that policy (the 20th rule) South Wales would that day be fighting a battle against double shifts and other evils." The argument which he cited in support of his prophetic

statement was irresistible. Coal owners, in these days of large syndicates, spread out their investments in a very wide cir- culation, and this class generally, that speculate widely, hold governing reins in their various ownerships. This type could view, with comparative indifference, a stoppage in a single coalfield. A local stoppage," said Mr. Hartshorn, would stiffen prices elsewhere, and the coal- owners with wide-spread investments would stand to make up on the swings what they lost on the round-abouts." It is obvious that to the miners a general stoppage would touch the whole gamut of their financial scale. And more, if this great industry is to be worked for our National purposes, and not for pri- vate gain, the application of the 20th Rule of the Miners' Federation for the whole country would go deep into the pockete of the general public. It is quite true that as ownership is at present, that Mr, F. L. Davies' contention that private ownership has the rights of private opin- ion in the methods of control. But it is a. view that can no longer be urged with the co-operative consent of the Miners, simply hecausei they are no longer isolated units in the arrangement. As Mr. Robert Smilie, at Pontypridd, solemnly put it, the factors in the count now are human beings and not pit ponies, and that even these were pro- tected to the extent that the manage- ment could not do as they wished them." Already legislation has largely stamped its veto upon the principle that employees are not helplessly left to the caprice and whim of those that employ them. The day is, happily, far advanced, when human considerations have a sway, and though every consideration must be exer- cised to secure the best co-operation in the all-round interests of master and men and the peace of the community, still the worker: has the human right to defend himself against methods of work- ing which he believes hostile to his per- sonal welfare. Mabon's address at Garw was typical of the reputation for statesmanship. which he has through the long years sus- tained. He is never heard using bluster- ing words, he has no gallery platitudes, but for weight and effect of utterance, few are so penetrating at the goal de- sired. In his reference to the disen- abling decisions of Judge Bryn Roberts, and grievous they are beyond doubt, if his decisions are law, they cut across ruthlessly every tradition and custom in the coalfield. Until his adventj work in abnormal places was not paid as gratuity, but as a recognised right in a straight contract. As Mabon put them, the con- sequences are demoralising, converting honest workmen from self-respecting wage-earners into a begging fraternity," and truly, if it is law, it was unworthy of a Christian land and an enlightened age. This black spot must be shifted from a Judge's law to a Parliament law, and there is no doubt that the Federa- tion forces will soon bring about the change. The introduction of the Eight Hours has brought about a reduction of the output. But why, and the wherefore? The leaderc., of the men, upon the author- ity of Mabon, will influence, and do influ- ence, by their public utterances, the ad- vocacy of exerting a genuine effort to maintain the previous) output. The man- agement have a responsibility in an equal effort. If tactical practices working for a repudiation of the Act are intentionally applied, then the public will have no sympathy for such methods. They knew," said Mabon, "that if the em- ployers gave the men clearance, that is, full facility of trams, they need not lose a pound of coal in the output." Mabon also revealed his supreme sense of fair play very distinctly in his tribute to Mr, F. L. Davies for his share in the settle- ment of the late dispute. The criticisms of Mr. Smilie on Mr. Davies has more than been balanced by the hearty compli- ment received from Mabon. In the cri- tical final stage of the late crisis, when the ship was burning, and all was likely to be lost, Mr. Davies, Casabianca-like, stuck to his post When almost all but he had fled." We know now what it has meant. It is all gain to be chivalrous, and here Mabon is always great. -+- The Budget references at the Miners' meeting on Monday were really, healthy, indicating very clearly that the working- men have taken very vigorously to the ¡ Budget proposals, as a practical ease- ment to their future financial responsibil- ity on the State. The fact that the working class of the country is support- ing the Budget has very much upset the party of privilege and monopoly-the landlord class, and the hirelings that are professionally engaged to uphold its in- terest. The Budget proposals are attack- ing the Tariff-mongers, and it has given the House of Lords, as a blocking insti- tution, a most effective set-back. In a contest with the House of Lords, Mr. Lloyd-George's powder in the Budget will be beyond every dispute absolutely triumphant. The Unionists have tried the game of calling the Budget revolu- tionary, and Mr. Lloyd-George's Lime- house speech was a retaliation dose- vulgar and uncouth. At any rate, it made the landlords foamingly furious. We sincerely tKist that Mr. Lloyd- George will be able to come to Porth on Monday. A right royal reception is awaiting him. We shall cull one para- graph from his speech, to show how deep down is his sympathy with his people. It is rather a hame. he said, "for a rich country like ours—probably the rich- est country in the world, if not the rich- est the world has ever seen—that it should allow those who have toiled all their days to end in penury and, pos- sibly, starvation. It is rather hard that an old workman should have to find his I way to the gates of the tomb bleeding and footsore through the brambles and thorns of poverty." Those noble words are enough to demand for him such a reception as never has been given to any Statesman of any time. Again, Mr. Henderson, the chairman of the Labour Party, used the finest superlative in his reference to the Budget. Even Mr. Philip Snowden, the future Chancellor of the Exchequer, in an outlined Budget scheme, which he placed before the Labour Party, lacked the courage and daring which are contained in the actual proposals of Mr. George. Was it, there- fore, surprising that Mr. Henderson should say that the Budget now before the country was the greatest Budget ever introduced into the British Parlia- ment. We trust that the miners of the Rhondda will mass in their thousands, and resound their appreciation of the Budget, and the man, as will re-echo in the citadels of the great and mighty enemies of the people's rights and privi- leges. Now is the time to declaim Trech gwlad nac Argiwydd."
