BARRY TRADES COUNCIL.
BARRY TRADES COUNCIL. DR. O'DONNELL'S WITHDRAWAL IN THE NORTH WARD. INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL HEAD- MASTERSHIP. MR. JOSE MAKES NO EXPLANATION. AND DESIRES NOT TO BE PRESSED. The fortnightly meeting of the Barry Trades and Labour Council was held on Thursday evening in last week at the Glamorgan Restaurant, the president (Mr John Rees) in the chair. THE TRADES UNION MANIFESTO. The secretary (Mr T. J. Chamberlaia) stated that he had written to Major Wyndham-Quin, M.P., and Alderman Walter H. Morgan, as directed by the Council, to get their opinions in writing upon the questions contained in the manifesto recently issued by the Trade Union Congress, and as published in the BARRY HERALD some few weeks back. Major Wynd- ham-Quin had now replied to the effect that he was in receipt of the letter. In reply he begged to state that if the Council would fix some date after the present session was over, either in September or October next, he would be happy to accept their invitation to attend a meeting at Barry and discuss the principles involved.—A communication was read from Forest House, Pontypridd, stating that Alder- man Walter Morgan was at present in Switzer- land, but the Council's letter and questions would be laid before him on his retarn home.— The Secretary pointed out that Major Quin had not exactly fulfilled the request made to him, viz., that he should give his opinion upon each particular question in writing.—It was at length decided to write again to Major Quin accepting his offer to address a meeting of the Council, but requesting him in the meantime to forward his opinion im writing upon the ques- tions submitted to him. THE CO-OPERATIVE SCHEME. The Secretary reported progress in connection with the movement for the establishment of a Co-operative Society in the Barry district, under the auspices of the Council, and read a number of special rules which had been drawn up, and which were now adopted. RAILWAY REGULATION BILL. A communication was read from the Barry branch of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants informing the Council that they had forwarded a letter to the Parliamentary member for the division asking him to support, through all its stages, Mr Ritchie's Railway Regulation Bill, and asking the Council to adopt a similar resolution to be forwarded to the same quarter. It was pointed out that the adoption of the improvements recommended in the Bill— automatic coupling, &c.—would prove a great blessing to railwaymen by preventing the large number of acciderftw occurring at present daring shunting operations.—After consider- able discussion it was unanimously agreed, on the motion of Mr W. S. Lewis, seconded by Mr T. Maggs, to forward a resolution, as re- quested, both to Major Quin and Mr Ritchie. DISTRICT COUNCIL MATTERS. The Secretary informed the Council of the steps taken to approach Dr O'Donnell, asking him not to place himself in antagonism to Labour and to withdraw from the contest in the North Ward. The following was the letter received from Dr O'Donnell in reply to the request of the deputation:— Ardmeyle, Barry-road, Cadoxton, March 13, 1899. Dear Mr Jose, After eareiul consideration of the argu- ments placed before me by Mr J. Ward and yourself on Friday evening, and an interview I had with Mr Evan Jones on Saturday, I have decided to withdraw my candidature for the North Ward. I recognise the fact that ilia a town like Barry, with such a preponderance of working men, they are entitled to due representation 08 our local governing bodies. I have consistently supported Trades Union principles during the time I have been connected with the public life of Barry, and have now no desire to act in opposition. I, consequently, place in your hands my notice of withdrawal, duly signed.—Faithfully yours, P. J. O'DONNELL. Mr J. H. Jose pointed out that they were met in a most friendly and courteous manner by Dr. O'Donnell, and the least thing he thought they could do was to thank Dr. O'Donnell o* this occasion, and to assure him of their best wishes towards him on a future occasion.—Mr E. S. Phillips said they appreciated the good intentions of Dr. O'Donnell, and they should not forget them.—On the preposition of Mr T. Maggs, seconded by Mr J. Driscoll, a resolution thanking Dr. O'Donnell for retiring in favour of the Labour candidate was unanimously carried. INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL HEADMASTERSHIP. Mr J. H. Jose gave a report as the Labour member of District Council. Having briefly* referred to the Gladstone-road scheme and the in- terest shown therein by the ratepayers, he said he had been requested, as one of the governors, to give an explanation of the recent events which had occurred in connection with the Interme- diate School. There were circumstances surrounding many things in life which one did not feel free at all times to state all they knew about them. The action of the governors of the Intermediate School leceived his hearty co- operation and support. Having said that, and knowing that there were many things under- lying, he did not intend to give any further information at the present time on the subjeet. The governors had the interests of the town and the school to consider, and not persons; and when he said fearlessly and honestly that that had been the attitude of the governors, they would, he hoped.believe that what had been done had been done with a pure motive. Probably, at some future time, when things had cooled down a little, he would be able to deal more fully with the questioa than he was that night. Mr Jose also dwelt with increased representa- tion on the District Council, and said he believed that in about twelve months' time the number of members would be far in excess of what they were at present.— Mr R. Hughes asked a question &8. to why they bad heard nothing of the resolution passed at a ratepayers' meeting some time ago in favour of erecting a rate-supported hospital in the district. Also, was it true that a request bad been made by Mr Norris to the governors of the Intermediate School to be heard in his own defence, and it had been denied him ?—As to the first question, Mr Jose replied that a committee was endeav- ouring to secure land, and had held about 30 meetings, but considerable delay bad been caused through not being able to meet Mr Forrest, Regarding Mr Hughes' second ques- tion, he hoped no member would press him for any information regarding Mr Norris now. He felt that should he do it, it would be simply pandering to a few who were not worthy, in his opinion, of any consideration from the hands of that Council or any other body in the town. EARLY CLOSING OF SHOPs. Mr W. S. Lewis brought on the question of early closing in the district, and stated that a number of tradesmen were beginning to ignore the hours they had recently agreed to.—After a discussion the President and Councillor Evan Jones were appointed a deputation, in con- junction with two of the members of the Shop Assistants' Union, to wait upon these trades- men requesting them to adhere to the recognised hours for closing.

SOUTH WALES TEACHERS' UNION.
SOUTH WALES TEACHERS' UNION. VISIT OF DELEGATES TO BARRY. PUBLIC EDUCATIONAL MEETING. COMPULSORY ATTENDANCE AT EVENING SCHOOLS. ADDRESS BY MR. R. WADDINGTON. GREATER BRITAIN'S DUTY TO THE CHILDREN." Barry was honoured on Saturday last by the visit of the delegates of the South Wales District Union of the National Union of Teachers, who held their annual meeting at Holton-road School, under the presidency of Mr A. C. Burgess, of Cardiff Higher Grade School.—The Chairman, re- ferring to questions relating to the subject of using county schools for the training of pupil teachers, said they were at that moment in the heart of the district where the matter had been taken up. He moved a resolution to the effect that no certificate be considered equivalent to the Queen's scholarship examination that did not con- tain some measure of practical teaching experience. -Mr C. G. Phillips (Llandilo) was inducted as president in succession to Mr A. C. Burgess. Mr A. Swash (Cardiff) was selected as vice-president. Mr Philip Thomas (Neath) was re-elected as treasurer for the ninth time.—Speeches were after- wards delivered by the new president and Mr R. Waddington (president of the N.U.T.), both deal- ing at considerable length with the Elementary School Teachers' Superannuation Bill. PUBLIC MEETING. In the afternoon there was a largely-attended public meeting at the English Wesleyan Chapel, Holton-road, Barry Dock, Mr J Lowdon, J.P. (chairman of the Schoel Board) presiding. Amongst those present were-Mr R Waddington, Mr Tom John (Llwynpia), Mr Jenkins and Mr Wilmott (Cardiff), Miss Hannah Williams (Cardiff), Captain R Davies, Dr W Lloyd-Edwards, Dr O'Donnell, Mr C L Buzze, Messrs T Higman and J E Rees, Alderman J C Meggitt, Rev C H Shave, Rev J C Honey, Rev J Mydyr Evans, Councillors D Morgan, Evan Jones, and W. Paterson, Mr J 0 Davies, Dr Sixsmith, Dr Williams, Mr J B Mockford (Dinas Powis), Mr T Thomas (BARRY HERALD), Mr H. Fisher, Mr R. Treharne Rees, Mr G H Spinks, and a large number of school teachers from the district, and others from different towns in South Wales. The Chairman said it was his duty and pleasure, en behalf of the Barry School Board, to welcome to Barry the delegates of the National Union of Teachers for the South Wales district. They were all pleased to see them, and took it as a tribute to the growing importance of Barry, educationally at least. Mr T. Higman then read letters from the follow, ing gentlemen, who, owing to other engagements, were unable to be present :-Mr A. G. Legard, H.M. Inspector of Schools; Mr Edgar W. Jones headmaster of Barry County School and the Rev Aaron Davies, while a communication, sympathis- ing with the object of the meeting, was read from the Barry Trades Council. Mr T. Higman then moved the following reso- lution That in the interest of national education and commerce it is essential—(a) That attendance at Evening Continuation Schools should be compulsory on all non-day scholars until they attain the age of 16 years. (b) That Technical Schools should be established and conducted upon a sound basis." Mr Higman proceeded to state that the children did not receive the education they were entitled to. They found that over 50 per cent. of their children left school before reaching the 5th standard, and of the other less than 50 per cent., a very amal proportion, attained to the 6th or 7th standard. If Chey asked for compulsory attendance for Evening Continuation Classes, they did not amk for a repeti- tion of the failure that had happened in day schools. (Bear, hear.) They had proof of their want of education in the fact that their markets were being takeg away by their opponents in commercial life. Pladcs which they always considered to be their own particular sphere were now taken from them by opposition countries, and they found that they were being out-run in manufactures by foreign countries, simply because they had for years made a systematic training in primary education, then by the Continuation Schools, and then by systematic technical education in latter years. So it was imperative upon them as a nation to see that their citizens were equally well-equipped with citizens of other countries. (Hear, hear.) The Evening Con- tinuation Schools should be formed to continue the education of those who had left the day schools, and after finishing here, then they should have their scheme of technical schools. (Applause.) Mr A. C. Burgess, Cardiff, seconded the resolu- tion. They in Wales, he said, were constantly flattering themselves, and holdiug themselves up as an example to England to follow in the matter of secondary education. But what did they find? They found at the present time in this district that it was possible for only one child in 30 to leave the elementary school and go forward into the Inter- mediate School. He wished to state that he was not asking for more intermediate schools. In his opinion they had far too many at the present time. Moreover, he considered they were not duing the work it was anticipated they would do. They were doing work which legitimately belonged to the elementary schools, and he could safely say it was done better in elementary schools than in the intermediate schools. (Hear, hear.) He desired that all scholars should be compelled to attend the evening continuation schools, which should be a sort of elementary technical schools, where those just starting in a trade could learn all the elemen- tary principles of science incident to their trade. (Applause.) Then they could organise technical schools, where their education could be further continued. (Applause.) Dr W. Lloyd-Edwards supported the resolution, and re-called the time when there was only one headmaster and headmistress in the district, and the latter under Article 68—(laughter)—and com- bined with her other duties that of cleaning the schools. (Renewed laughter). The resolution was then put to the meeting and carried with acclamation. Mr R. Waddington was then introduced to the meeting by the Chairman, and Received a warm ovation. The speaker said he desired his audience to keep in mind the fact that, in dealing with the subject, Greater Britain's Duty to the Children,' it was in no sense as a party politician, and he was not there to advocate the Board or Voluntary Schools' system. He hoped ti.e question would be approached in the true imperial sense. (Hear, hear.) He desired to draw their attention to the picture of a nation almost unanimous on acquisition and extension. The litte Englaoder had had a bad time during the last ye-ir or two. He had got so little, they could handly recognise him. They were all big Englandtrs. They were opening throughout the world and paying for it. (Laughter and applause.) Last year they spent £37,000,000 on what he called blowing brains out, and spent about £14,000,000 on putting brains in. The other y, Goschen discovered that their fleet could not lick all the world, and he came down to -n«nH° £ !e(^9Ornm0n8 alld asked they should the £ 3 OOfHvlft00 n'°re °n increasiug the Navy, and fh,V h,f ?i2S° ras,8ranted: He Qid not object to a Th } °!?^d keep in mind what; they were doing The last Government did not have enough cordite «.store, and the Government went down on cordite. (Laughter. > Did they ever knQW a Government gUlUg down because there was not slates, books, or pencils in the schools ? Ministries would not last five minutes if they had to be judged on the present condition of the penary school/of this country. But nc.one gnimbied. Even the ratepayer did not grumble 0nly too glad to know that he could sleep safe at night because he knew that the Na*'y could lick all the r, s, of the combined fleets of the worlu. Therefore, raiher than lose Ins re-t, he would pay handsomely, Jje however, did not complain of that for one'single moment. He would not have a weak Navy. He did not want to prevent extension of the Empire. But what was the good of extending the EmpH-e if the people who were to control and utilise it ten years hence were meant to be behind those they had to compete with ? What was the good of spending neatly £ 40,000,000 in the year on ships, and at the same tune tefuse another million or two on the schools of this country, where the men and women who were to uphold this great nation were now receiving their education ? (Cheers.) John Bull went mad if a farthing went on to the School Board rate. Just look at their primary school system. If there ever was a Chinese puzzle, it began when they touched the authorities controlling elementary education. At the end of the nineteenth century it had just been discovered that the Local Govern- ment Board, Science and Art Department, Educa- tion Department, and the other authorities had all been duplicate in education, when it might have been done by one body. And they had got a Bill, called a Secondary Education Bill, which was not secondary education. It knocked out of existence one of the most obsolete forms of government, the Science and Art Department, which at last was going to be put into the hands of Sir George Kekewich and it would get into good hands. (Hear, hear.) But it did not need all this fuss about a Secondary Education Bill. They wanted an Education Bill badly, but they wanted one dealing with the whole of the educational system- primary and secondary. They had got the County Council dealing with technical education, and getting its hand in very heavily under Clause 7. They had the School Board dealing with primary, and in a certain measure secondary, education in Higher Grade Schools, which was secondary educa- tion of the right sort. Then they had got the wonderful creation of a last Education Act, the V ou tary Schools. Then they had got a struggle at the present time between the School Boards and County Councils and Borough Councils as to which was to be the party to deal with secondary educa- tion, and they had got the iiibidiouii movement, the attempt on the part of the heads of the Depart- ments to lay down that the Higher Grade Schools of this country must not trench upon secondary education, but must be limited to primary educa- tion, as mentioned in the Code. (Shame.) Higher Grade Schools had a clear, well-marked function in this country, and would be the secondary schools of a large majority of those who attended the primary schools. To him it was not a question of class. The working classes of this country must take care that it would not be made a question of class. (Hear, hear.) They must contend that the schools were to be limited in their scope, and that limit the possibility of the working man to do without his child's earnings. (Applause.) And he went further—to invest some money in Drains at the present time. (Cheers.) And where the working man could not afford to carry on his sharp boy further than the primary school it would pay the nation to see that thatf boy's brains were not wasted. (Applause.) They had, therefore, got all these parties. And what was the result of their work ? At the present time there were 3,000,000 children in the Voluntary Schools of England and Wales, and 2 millions in the Board Sehools. They had 20,000 certificated teachers in the Board Schools for the 21 millions and 8,000 in the Voluntary Schools for the three millions. He did not think that a fair division. (Laughter.) Let them look at the other end of the profession, that Barry had sworn against and he was glad it had. Under Article 68 there were 10,000 teachers in the Voluntary Schools and 4,000 or 5,000 in the Board Schools. He wished to know why ? What had these children done ? What was their offence ? What was their crime, that they were to go on with inferior teachers? Well, it was because they had got a supposed religious question, and they were fighting on it all the time and forgetting the 3,000,000 who were not being educated. He was master of a Church School, and had been a pupil teacher in a Church School. He had got four children. Two went to a Board School and two to a Church School. (Laughter.) He thought he could approach this question with a fair amount of intimate knowledge. He was like the man who discovered that honesty was the best policy, and said he would try both. (Laughter.) His testimony was this. He did not discover any great difference in the religious teaching of the two children in the Board School and the two in the Voluntary School, and they all knew that it was of no use teaching all these fine doctrines to children of 5 to 11 years of age, or 5 to 13 at the most. The practical teacher knew he could not do it, and that was the reason they had not a Ritualistic contro- versy in the schools to-day. But supposing he wanted his child taught some particular form of religion, he would prefer to omit that if it was given by indifferent men. It was dangerous to allow the inculcation of difficult theology by inex- perienced persons. Great Britain, the greatest and richest nation in the world, allowed the education of 3,000,000 of children to be limited and controlled by the charity of local purses. But it was all because they had got the supposed religious diffi- culty. It did not exist in the school. All the different denominations could do their work after the child was done with in the primary school, and the people who desired to make Christian men and women could allow that, for the first five years the child could not be made acquainted with the knowledge that divided them into 205 different sects. Some of the Voluntary Schools were not getting the charity they were supposed to have, and a large proportion of those who shouted heartiest for the Voluntary School, were doing it to escape payment to the Board School. (Hear, hear.) These pictures were not true of all the schools. They were true only of the minority. They had made progress since 1870. They had been hampered by this religious difficulty, and it was about time they came to their senses. He wanted an Education Bill that did not shirk the question of management; because, after all, the question of management was the vital question in the question of education, and the good manager, who was bent ouly on doing good, would not suffer from all the public control that was ever biought about. But whetker he weuld or not, the nation that found'5 the money must have a stronger hand than the nation had at present. (Hear, hear.) The next Bill-he did not think it would be introduced by this Government; he did not think they would touch education more than they could help-when it came in must give them an educational authority dealing with all forms of education. (Applause.) He was not going to tell them what that authority was, or ought to be but he could say that educa- tion was important enough, big enough, was of so large a character in the minds oi the people as to aeserve an authority specially selected for that purpose. He hoped they should see within a reasonable time an attempt made to focus and con selidate all the different bodies dealing "th educa- tion. Let them have every child having an equal chance, and every child having the best chance. If they could not get on without denominational schools, let them have denominational schools, but to be controlled by public management. (Applause.) In the interests of everybody, Board aud Voluntary alike, they ought to try to get the reasonable men and women of this country to think of the problem, to en- deavour to approach it in a way that would seek only to solve it in the interests of the children, and then he believed if, for the time, they could forget denominations and forget the bickerings of the last 28 years, and see only the little child's five years of school life, very probably then the problem W°ii /a 8olved> and solved speedily and solved well. (Applause.) In conclusion, Mr Waddineton referred to the half-time system, and said that during the past few years there had been a ripening and a quickening of the conscience on the question of child labour. It was seen in the growing tendency not t,, seiid children tp work at aa early age, and seen better still in the House of Commons, where only 61 members could be found to sunnm-h the retention of the age of child labour. (Loud cheers.) Alderman J. C. Meggitt then moved a vote of thanks to Mr VVaddiugton for his admirable speech. Mr Meggitt said he believed money spent on education was really money invested. (Hear, hear.) And in many respects a high rate for educational purposes meant a lower poor rate. He was glad to find that at Barry they had a courageous School Board, who were, he believed, honestly doing their best to aaise the standard of education. (Cheers.) Mr C. L. Buzzo, in seconding the resolution, said England's supremacy was not to depend on money. English battle ships would be useless without strong, powerful men to man them. Was it to depend on the little half-timers ? No. Wales, he was proud to say, bad very few half-timers- something between 43 and 57 in the whole of South Wales. (Hear, hear.) The resolution was put to the meeting and carried enthusiastically and on the motion of Mr Waddington, seconded by Mr Phillips, Llwynpia, a similar compliment was paid to thefchairman. In the evening a tea and social, organised by the local teachers, was held at Holton-road School. Praise is due to Mr J. Lloyd Jon«s "(the local secretary), who most assiduously and *tisfactoiily carried out the whole of the arrangements con- nected with the various meetings.

AMALGAMATED SOCIETY OF ENGINEERS.…
AMALGAMATED SOCIETY OF ENGINEERS. ANNUAL DINNER OF THE BARRY BRANCH. The members of the local branch of the Amalgamated Society of Engineers held their annual dinner on Saturday night last at the Windsor Hotel, Barry Dock. The attendance was large, numbering about 120. The manager and manageress (Mr and Mrs Hobbs) had provided one of those excellent dinners for which this popular hostelry has become celebrated, while the dining-room had been decorated with drapery and bunting, presenting a pleasing appearance. Mr John Lowdon, J.P. (manager of the Barry Graving Dock and Engineering Company's works), who, through other engagements, was unable to attend until after the dinner, presided at the post-prandial proceedings, and amongst those present were-- Messrs J. Molineux (branch treasurer), who occupied the vice-chair Jenkin Jones (organis- ing district delegate), T. B. Rees (Union Dry Dock Company), R. Miller (Mr C. H. Bailey), J. G. Walliker (Messrs Hodges and Walliker), U. S. Hosgood (London and South Wales Engineering Company), R. F. McCoy (Union Dry Dock), W. Richards (Graving Dock), J. Murray, W. Richards (branch president), H. Foley (branch secretary), Tom Evans, T. Williams, Councillor Evan Jones, J. Stuart, &c. Some excellent speeches and songs were de- livered during the toast list, this being gone through as follows :— The toast of The Queen was proposed in a felicitous speeeh by the Chairman, and it was drunk with musical honours. The toast of the evening, that of "The Amalgamated Society of Engineers," was en- trusted to Mr J ohn btuart. It was a toast, he said, that the members should feel proud to drink, because the soeiety was one of those trade organisations that no man need feel any shame in belonging to. It had passed through some vicissitudes, through some Labour wars. Every Labour war that had been engaged upon had never been entered into without the whole of the members feeling that it was a war that was necessary for the advancement of the members and to secure better conditions. (Hear, hear.) These wars would always be necessary, and anyone who looked the matter in the face could say that they would not be able to abolish them. All they could hope was that no war would be entered into by their society, or any other society, without the full consent of its members and without a proper inquiry into the reasons for it. (Applause.) Mr Jenkin Jones. organising district delegate, made an interesting speech in acknowledging the toast. He expressed his pleasure at finding gentlemen, such as Mr Lowdon, associating themselves with them. It indicated to him and everyone present that there was a spirit of mutuality and sociability existing in this part of the country between employers and em- ployed. (Applause.) Mr Jones said disputes had occurred in the past, but in his judgment he believed, with good sense displayed, the disputes in this part of the country in future would be absolutely nil. (Applause.) It behoved them as men on one side, and em- ployers on the other, to display common-sense and reason, and it would be for the benefit of both capital and labour. Regarding the benefits of the society, he would deal with one or two special features. They.had heard a great deal lately of the old age pension scheme, but he thought this would have to be abandoned by those who promised it to the country. As far as the superannuation benefit connected with their society was concerned, they had never failed to discharge their liabilities to their old members. There had been rumours in the Press that, during the recent dispute, they were not in a position to pay their old men; but he could state that at the close of the lock-out they were worth £ 90,000. (Applause.) This would indi- cate to them that they were careful that their old men were not cut short of their weekly allowances. The maximum given by their superannuation fund was 10s per week, which was better than that offered by Mr Joseph Chamberlain, viz., 5s per week. They had also a superannuation reserve with a capital of X70,000, while another benefit was that the society advanced money at a low rate of in- terest to those members who desired to erect cottages for themselves. They also had an accident benefit, which gave £ 100 when a man was totally disabled, as well as the sick benefit. For this a member only contributed on an average lOd a year, which he considered an excellent investment for the return made. (Hear, hear.) The total value of the whole society was £ 230,000. (Applause). There were two policies in connection with their society, and tho3e were the financial policy and the trade policy. The financial policy was one which was entirely within their own manage- ment, and he might then say that the manage- ment of their soci&ty cost about 5 per cent., which was exceedingly low. The most complicated policy was the trade policy. Here they had to be very careful, very diplomatic in not leading into any unnecessary difficulties. They would at any rate do all they possibly could on their side to prevent any dislocation of trade. (Hear, hear.) They had a central authority, a body free from local prejudice, and the voice of this body had to be obtained before any dispute could be sanctioned. A spirit of democracy governed the whole of the constitu- tion, a»d the most successful guide they could have was the government of democracy. (Hear, hear.) He regretted that all the efforts made towards establishing a system of conciliation had been void and useless, and that some of the employers ha,d recently refused the services of Mr Ritchie. He, however, hoped some means would be devised to prevent these industrial disputes. In conclusion, Mr Jones hoped that the good feeling existing between the employers and the members of the society would long continue. (Cheers.) Mr T. Firth gave the toast of The Trade of the Port," and remarked upon its rapid develop- ment, stating he had no hesitation in saying that it would not be long before it, was capable of eclipsing much larger and greater centres than itself. Mr J. Lowdon, in responding, said he recip- rocated all 1\11' Jones had said as to the best possible feelings existing between the workman and his employer. They were equally necessary to each other; and what was the use of the best possibly equipped worshops and the finest, machinery if they had no men to work them ? But the employers had for some time past come to realise more and more, and he hoped they would continue to realise, that the workmen and themselves bad equal rights. (Cheers.) With regard to employers' combination, he ventured to think it was a good thing for the men. Speaking for the association of which he was a member—the District Association of EmployerS-he knew that it had been able to do good work from the workman's point of view, because there were rash employers as well as rash workmen, and very often there were quarrels. He had known several such quarrels settled amicably by the officials of the Association and the officials of the Society, they being outside the smoke and din of battle. With regard to the toast, he thought this great port of Barry had before it a very fine career. (Hear, hear.) The people who were at the head of affairs were people of great foresight and courkgel and if he were to tell them of some of the projects they had in mind they would probably be astonished. Mr Lowdon proceeded to urge upon the workmen to make full ana proper use of the franchise in order to secure the better government of the town. Mr W. Dooley proposed the toast of "Our Representatives on Municipal and Parliamen- tary Bodies," and said if there was anything they could make their brags" upon, it was their local representatives on public bodies, aad the town, considering its age and growth, was second to none in the whole world.

CRUELTY TO HORSES. BARRY TRADESMAN SENT TO PRISON. SENTENCE REVOKED AND A FINE IMPOSED. At Barry Dock Police-court on Friday last (before Mr J. S. Batcbelor and Mr J. Lowdon) James Jenes, greengrocer, &c., Holton-road, Barry Dock, was charged with allowing a horse to be worked in an unfit condition, and a hauiier in his employ, named James Craddock, was charged with working the same. Police- constable Welsby stated that on the morning of the 9th inst he saw Craddock driving a dark bay gelding attached to a trolley, heavily laden with goods, in Holton-road. He noticed the horse going lame in both forelegs. He stopped Craddock, and asked him why he worked the horse in such a lame condition. He replied I don't know. I told Mr Jones this morning that he ought to have another horse to go to Cardiff." He then examined the horse, and found it suffering from ring-bone in both fore- legs. Inspector Bentford, officer of the R.S.P.C.A., also eorroborated the constable's evidence, and stated the horse was in a fit con- dition to be worked on the land, but not on the road.—Jones, in defence, said the horse had been taken out that day without his knowledge, but admitted that he saw the- animal attached to the trolley before it started tor Cardiff.—It was stated that Jones had been fined twice already this year ior the same offence, and the magistrates now committed him to prison for one month's hard labour without the option of a fine. The verdict caused a profound sensation in court, but at the conclusion of the business, Mr F. P. Jones-Lloyd, on behalf of the prisoner, applied to the magistrates to re-consider their decision. He pointed out that Mr Jones bad lived in the district for about twelve years. He felt very seriously his position, and he had promised to be very much more careful in the future.—After a deliberation between the magistrates, Jones was again placed in the dock, and Mr Batchelor stated they had been persuaded to alter their decision. This was defendant's third offence, but they had listened to his promise not to offend again, and they had decided to impose a fine of £ 5 and costs.

AMALGAMATED SOCIETY OF ENGINEERS.…
The Chairman, before calling upon Councillor Evan Jones to respond, said they had an instance here of where the working men had failed to make proper use of the franchise. At the last School Board election Mr Evan Jones lost his seat, and the Board lost what he considered one of its most valuable members. (Applause.) No one was more disappointed than he was at tke result of that election, and he thought he ought to say honestly and straightly that it was not a credit to the members of the Amalgamated Society of Engineers. [A Voice: They were too confident of getting him in.]-Mr Lowdon: That was wrong; you should never be too confident in these cases. Mr Jones, in acknowledging the toast, said during the three years he was on the School Board he found in that body a marvellous up- lifting effect. The other toasts honoured were those of "Kindred Trades," proposed by Mr J. Molineaux and responded to by Mr Grffin; The Press," proposed by Mr T. Williams, and responded to by Mr W. Lewis, BARRY HBRALD and Mr J. Llewellyn "The Visitors," proposed by Mr H. H. Clavey; "The Secre- tary," proposed by the Chairman; and the Host and Hostess," proposed by Mr J. Stewart, and responded to by Mr Hobbp, while the toast of the health of Mr J. Weaver was also heartily drank. During the evening songs were rendered by Miss Hobbs (encered), Messrs J. G. Walliker, P. Witts, T. Williams, J. Davies, T. Evans, W. Griffiths, &c., Mr A. J. Rees being the accompanist. Letters, apologising for in- ability to attend the dinner, were read from Messrs C. Wills, C. H.
