Peace Pourparlers. Mr. Askwith Visits Tony- pancy. Plenary Powers Sought. Mr. Askwith, K.C., and Mr. I. Mitchell, of the Board of Trade, visited Tonypandy 011 Thursday of last week, accompanied by Messrs. T. Richards, M.P., and A. Onions (secretary and treasurer of the South Wales Miners' Federation), and met the Cambrian Combine Workmen's Committee at the Moriah Chapel Vestry. The arrival of the Board of Trade officials was watched bJ" a large crowd which had gathered in the streets, and their pro- gress through the streets to the chapel I vestry evoked outbursts of cheering from the groups of miners standing at the various street corners. The proceedings were private. Press representatives not being admitted. It is, however, understood that very little progress was made in the direction of peace, for the committee did not feel disposed to abandon the position already taken up, and there was a general feeling that they were not justified in going behind the decision of the mass meeting of Naval workmen, who had refused to grant- the committee plenary powers to settle the points in dispute, A strong minority, on the other hand, felt that some steps should be taken, at any rate, to keep open the negotiations, but there was a diversity of opinion as to how this could be accomplished, in view of the attitude of the mass of the workmen expressed in the public meeting. After the workmen's representatives had reported fully upon the proceedings already taken at the Cardiff peace meet- ings, Mr. Alfred Onions, Mr. D. Watts Morgan, Mr. W. H. Morgan, and Mr. Thomas Richards. M.P., addressed the gathering, emphasising the necessity for ;.tuthoriising the committee to act on behalf of the men. It was explained that little hope of a settlement remained while the men declined to trust those whom they had elected. A general discussion followed, in the course of which several of the men further explained the griev- ances which they sought to redress, but no resolution was passed, it being under- stood that the meeting stood adjourned. Official Repnrt. The following was the official report supplied to our representative A meeting of the whole of the com- mittees representing Naval, Glamorgan and Cambrian Collieries was held at Moriah Chapel, Tonypandy, on Thurs- day evening. The meeting had been convened for the purpose of hearing a report from the workmen's representa- tives, and also it was deemed advisable that Mr. Askwith and Mr. Mitchell, of the Board of Trade, should attend. A full report was given by the represen- tatives present, and at the close a vote of thanks was tendered to Messrs. Askwith and Mitchell for their attend- ance. It was then decided that the meeting should stand adjourned pend- ing any further communications which would probably be made from both .sides with the view of continuing nego- tiations.
