BARRY FATALITIES & ACCIDENTS. COMPENSATION CASES. COUNTY COURT PROCEEDINGS. At the Barry County Court on Tuesday (before Judge Owen) an application was made by Mr Parsons (instructed by Messrs Meyrick and Davies) on behalf of Mrs Harris, the widow of Philip Harris, for an award under the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1897, in respect of the death of the latter, the respondents being the Barry Graving Dock and Engineering Company, for whom Mr J. Sankey (instructed by Messrs Vaughan and Roche) appeared. Deceased was oae of several riggers engaged in re-placing coal into the buukers which had been re-placing coal into the bunkers which had been previously repaired. For this purpose some tackle was fastened to a boom, and the tackle holding the boom itself giving way, it fell upon deceased, w ho received fatal injuries. At the time of the acci- dent his average weekly earnings amounted during three years to an average sum per annum in the aggregate of JE208. This sum included overtime. The facts were admitted, but Mr Sankey, in the course of a lengthy argument, contended unsuccess- fully that overtime should not be considered, but that in accordance with a previous judgment it should be held to be casual employment. Mr Sankey also raised the point that this acci- dent did not occur in the coutse of any manufac- turing process," or any process which results in the manufacture of an article, and not repairing.—His Honour eventually held that the case of Rayne v. Dobson upset this contention, and eventually gave an award for f208 and costs on Scale C. MINOR CLAIMS. Another case was heard, in which Messrs Mey- rick and Davies represented John Merry, who claimed £ 35 from Mr C. H. Bailey, of the Tyne Engineering Works, for whom Mr F. P. Jones- Lloyd appeared. It was announced that the case had been settled, an award being made in favour of the claimant for the amount souoht -A case agaiost the Barry Graving Dock Company by John Crockford was also settled for f8 2s and f4 4s costs.—Samuel Perry also secured an award of £10 12s 8d in respect of au injury received at the No. 1 dock on October 29Lh, 1900. Mr Parsons (instructed by Messrs Meyrick and Davies) repre- sented the applicant, and Mr John Sankey (instruc- ted by Messrs Vaughan and Roche) the respon- dents, the Barry Graving Dock and Engineering Company. ANOTHER FATALITY. Another case, in which the same counsel ap- peared, Mrs Wellington, a widow, being the applicant, and Mr Duchemin, a ship's painter, the respondent, resulted in an award of £ 150 in favour of applicant, and E150 to be invested by the Regis-trar (Mr Alfred Jackson) in favour of the two young children. In this case, it will be remem- bered, the deceased man was engaged in carrying empty cement casks along the side of the Com- mercial Graving Deck, when he accidentally fell over and was killed. LABOURERS' UNION AND 1HE CLAIMS. All the claims were made on behalf of the appli- cants by the National Amalgamated Labourers' Union, of which Mr H. Rogers, Pyke-stret. is the local delegate, and Mr C, Stenner (Cardiff) the president, and Mr Hy Williams (Swansea) the secretary, all these officials being busily engaged in watching the proceedings.

NOTES AND COMMENTS. THK LAW AND TRADES UNIONS. LEGISLATION, like commercial crises, and indeed most other human affairs, runs in cycles. A generation has almost passed away hinco the position of Trades Union appeared to be definitely established by Statute after a struggle of more than three-quarters of a century. The huge Tory majority of the younger Pitt employed itself, at the end of the eighteenth century, in the congenial task of stamping out the independence of working- men. Not that this was excessive even then the conditions of life forbade it. Difficulties of communication, cost of travel-above all, ignor,i i) (-(.made the effective organisation of laboni impracticable save in the case of strong industries in a few of the great towns. Where practicable it had been from time immemorial discouraged by authority. "That in the captain's but a cholei it word which in the private is rank blasphemy." Employers might agree to reduce wages, but for working-men to endeavour to obtain a rise was illegal con- spiracy. The Tory statutes against Trades Union dotted the i's and crossed the t's. The y were directed to facilitate convictions and to increase the severity of punishment for those working-men who ventured in concert to seek to improve their position. Without concert the Tories knew the working-man would remain at the mercy of the capitalist. It is from this period that the adhesion of capitalists to Toryism begins. If anyone wishes to realise the position of the working-man towards the law as it was a hundred years ago let him look at the way they manage things in Russia at the present day. If a number of working-men strike for higher wages or reduced hours the employer, instead of meeting them in amicable negotia- tion, sends for the military. The mill is surrounded by Cossacks, the whip is freely employed upon workmen who refuse to return to their employment, and, as the newspapers say, "the incident is at an end." It is true that in this country the military were not called out unless actual injury was done to person or property. But in the case of exasperated men who, by the blind stupidity of the Tory laws, were deprived of the guidance of responsible leaders,this was a very common consequence. In Russia, as then in England, the employers range themselves with the Government, although the system they support is a despotism which robs themselves as effectually of political as it doe. their workmen of economic liberty. The comp usa- tion is found in the increased dividends which result from the joint operation of low wages and protective tariffs. It We have travelled far from these days in England,and it has come as a shock to Trades Unionists, lawyers and economists, to find that the position of Trades Union is upon some fundamental points still indeterminate. Until the decision of the House of Lords in the Taff Vale Railway case, it was generally accepted that a Trade Union could not bo sued for damages arising out of its action. That judgment affirms the principle that if Trade Union leaders sanction actions injurious t< others, the funds of the Union*, an bo made liable. When it is remeiftbered that the funds of Trades Union include benevolent funds, which are not earmarked, and which. as they may be used for strikes, will certainly be made liable for damages arising from strikes, it will at once be seen that the effect may be far-reaching indeed. It may lead some who have joined a Union rather as a source of contingent benefits than as a militant organisation to prefer the less debatable security of the Friendly Societies. It may, in conjunction with the advances to Friendly Societies recently made by the prolific parent of Old Age Pensions schemes, lead Trades Unions to reconsider their principle of an in- discriminate common fund, and to appropriate a percentage of their revenues to pensions supplemented by the State. On the other side of Trade Union activity-the organisation of contests with capital-it must lead to a clearer definition of the acts for which damages may be awarded. It is established law that notice of an intended strike is not a proceeding for which a Trade Union official can be cast in damages. But may he do more than give notice P If he orders picketing and a business suffers, will the Union be liable ? That is the first question to be solved, and tli,, Trade Union Congress wisely determined thai the point should be tried at the earliest possible moment. Never was the sober sense of the English people displayed to more advantage than in the temper with which the Taff Vale judgment was received. Instead of-declamations against the judges, the law or sooiety, like those in which Continental working men-not entirely without reason-indulge, the Trades Unionist's are contented to deal with the practical issues as they present themselves. When they know precisely what acts are illegal and what not, they will know where to look for a remedy. It may be that it will turn out that the effect of the decision is exaggerated on all hands. In a very sensible speech delivered at Swansea, the meeting-place of the Trade Union Congress, on the 4th September, Mr. Atherley .Tones, K.C., expressed an opinion that it would lit; a matter of the utmost difficulty for an employer of labour to prove that the wrongful action of officials of a Trade Union had resulted in the loss or damage which he might sustain by reason of a strike, lock-out or the refusal of persons to work for him. But lawyers, like doctors, disagree, and the Counsel to the Congress, Mr. E. Browne, anticipated a series of actions against Trades Union as a consequence of the judgment. Even if this foreboding were verified, it does not follow that Trade Unionism would be extinguished. The Liberal Party has not fought in vain the battle of the working classes. It has established the principle that what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. If capitalist organisations are quick to mark what is done amiss by Trade Union officials, their proceedings will be exposed to similar attacks and to oqual penalties. One thing Trade Unionists are having driven home to them by the jubilation of the Tory Press. It is not from this Government, if recourse to legislation be necessary, that any equitable measure of amelioration is to be looked ioz. -oJ.
