Removal of Checkweigtjer Sought For. Application at Ystrad Police Court. Important Hearing. A very important case was heard at the ion-Pentre Police Court on Monday (before the Stipendiary and other magis- trates), when David Bowen Jones, the JFIANAGER of the Britannic-Meithyr Col- !IEI'y, Gilfach Goch, sought the removal of JAMES Gardiner, checkweigher, on the FOUNDS of (1) interfering with a weigh- llg machine," and (2) to the detriment 01 the owners, agent, or manager, done SRMIETHIIIG beyond taking account of the heIght of coal." Mr. Sankey (instructed H Mr. /Ohas. Kenshole, Aberdare) ap- peared for the applicant, and Mr. S. T. vans, K.C., M.P. (instructed by Mr. W. P. Nicholas, of Messrs. Walter Mor- gan, Bruce, and Nicholas), defended. YT N opening the case for the prosecution, r. Sankey said that the first of the two ^TTIMONSES related to a question of law, Vhilst the other related to a question of Act. The summons was not an ordinary DE,)_ and was not the same as the; case PREVIOUSLY heard by his' Worship, when an ^plication was made to remove a. checls- EIgher foa- having interfered with the LANAGEMENT of the mine or men. The 5IST of the evidence in the present case that defendant interfered with the I 6Lghing machine. The summonses WERE ASED ON Sections 12, 13, and Sub-section IJJTF the Coal Mines Regulation Act of and he (Mr. Sankey) submitted that si FFI ^ERFEREIICE with the weighing was TTICIENT to remove him from the post of eckweigher. A appeared, continued counsel, that E .METHOD of weighing at this colliery, hid Indeed at all the collie,ries; in the dis- FOLL WAS A train was brought up JJ FROM the pit and placed upon a J ACHING known as a weighing: machine, OB ,WAS thereupon weighed, and it was ABVL?US that if the machine remained OJPUTELY unbalanced it would weigh not TI'A *-LE' MINCAL IN the tram, but the ^SELF. That was not desired, and ^I'EFOA-G, the system in use here was that TAF W('HT of the tram should be ascer- PLALE<I' AUC' A corresponding weight was LET UPON the machine, and thus the fyweight of the mineral in the tram TRAS ATRIVED at. It. was obvious that every IN use at the colliery was not of the Weight, and when the weight of the /RAMS at this colliery was taken, the }OARA<GE weight of each tram was fixed at WAICWT., ANC] A weight equivalent to this PLACED upon the arm of the weighing T|| UL|C to nullify the weight of the WE*' THAT weight was known as the OCTober 5th, 1906, it was thought WO E IN charge of the colliery that the incorrect, and a discrepancy was \VCL!>RED between the coal raised and THAT D AT the weighing machine, and AACCounted for at the billy screen, THE N '^ULT > twenty trams were tared in y r<'serice of the checkweigher, and the ITIRT T of these trams Was just llcwt. Vjjtead of lOfcwt. Negotiations took between the manager and the t», ^weigher, A1!(] it was agreed that the ^SHOULD be lOfcwt. and 141bs., or 10J 0. Consequently, that tare "was screwed NT° THE, arm of the machine, IT U1 November 30th, a strike took place I THE colliery, which lasted up to Decem- TH, but there- was no night work at HI&I^°LLIERY until the 18th, and then the WEIG1NER observed that the tare had Dosit." screwed and removed from its new tbat 1011 to THE old. The effect of this was ib. f OIl every tram weighed, 141bs. was of the men. On January 29th, the officials discovered the dis- ILCY, and reported it, and when 4(WIH TO ON February 1st, the defendant W having removed the tare after had gone in at the end of the adding that he only allowed this TRAIRLS coming up from the Coro- AS, HEADING were very wet and dirty. OLIT MATTER of fact, Mr. Sankey pointed b.a.ÜQ Work. had been done in the Coro- d\Jfll. HEADING far eIght, months. The F|IU^NT WAS told that the matter would IWFTW dealt with, and when subse- SP°LIEN TO, he again admitted 0GLNG the tare, but on this occasion THE FI ,RED no excuse for his action. To I'iodtrllnent, of the owners during that T0^' THE alteration of the scale recorded TO 1^ in favour of the men, and royalty E EXTENT of £ 15 had been paid on the 98 tons thus recorded. Under the circumstances, the manager, Mr. Bowen Jones, considered he had a perfect right to dismiss the checkweigher. Mr. D. Bowen Jones bore out his advo- cate's statement, and in cross-examination said that he had been at the colliery for two years, whereas Gardiner had been employed there some years before his advent. Hei admitted that the tares of the trams might vary considerably, but he refused to admit that the wear for ten years would materially affect the weight of the trams. The tares of the trams were not, marked as railway trucks, but the tares were recorded. He repudiated the suggestion that the new tare of 10G cwt. wasi only temporary during the taring ot the whole ot the trams. I. Wills, mechanic in the employ of Messrs. Pooley, weighing machine manu- facturell's, said that when he inspected the machine he found it was practically right, but technically out." It recorded about Gibs, in the men's favour. Mr. Sankey: It has been said by Mr. Jones that there was an error in the power of the steel yard. What do you mean by the accelerating power of the machine ?—The accelerating power of the machine is in the steel yard. It is in the way the steel yard is built to make it accelerate. Would that property have anything to do with the tare?.No, nothing at all. Mr. S. T. Eivans: How do- you spell accelerating P—I can't say. Learn to spell your wares by the next time you come here (laughter); Further evidence was given by Arturs Hopkins, Thomas Phillips, William Wat- kins, and Elijah Trevethin, weighers. Mr. S. T. Evans, addressing the Bench for the defence, submitted that in the evidence given there was nothing to justify the removal of Gardiner, and the change of the tare from LOF to lOi was 4 -g considered by his client as being tem- porary only whilst the trams were* being re-tared. It was obviously unfair to take for granted the tare of the whole of the trams when only twenty trams had been tared, and he submitted that Gardiner had not interfered with the weighing. Defendant, in the boxi, said he had been checkweigher at the colliery for nine years, and the tare during the whole of the time up to October last had been lOfcwt. In October he was consulted by the manager, who expressed a view that the tare was too light. Witness declared that the proper way to ascertain the correct tare would be by re-taring all the trams, and twenty were re-tared, with the result that he consented fo the tare being fixed at 10|cwt. until the whole of the trams had been re-tared. In cross-examination, defendant con- tended that lie had a right to have the tare moved back to its original position, as that was the last ascertained tare. He denied having told Phillips. that he "moved the tare back, as he only allowed it to remain there whilst the Coronation heading: was working." In summing up, the Stipendiary said that he accepted Mr. Sankey's view as to interference in weighing, Mr. Evans' being a bit too narrow. If the defendant did anything: to interfere with the mode of ascertaining the correct weight, that was interfering with the weighing. He had come to the conclusion that defen- dant had altered the tare, and he (the Stipendiary) was not satisfied with the explanation which the defendant gave as to his right to do so. There had evidently been a misunderstanding; between the parties, and the defendant had altered the tare under the impression that the lOt tare was only a, temporary one, whereas the management regarded it as permanent. Under the circumstances, he did not believe he would be justified in making an order for his removal, although he was not satisfied with the evidence of Gardiner at all, and the method of taring the trams was eminently unsatisfactory.

Notes on Sport I Football Under Rugby Rule. Treherbept v. Bridgend. This game was played at Bridgend on Saturday last. From the start defeat seemed inevitable for Treherbert, though the homesters had to face a strong wind in the first half. The first score was the result of a splendid piece of work among the hoane backs, the movement having been cleverly started by Bayliss. Then Bryant scored a try, but there was no more scoring in the first moiety. Bridgend, playing with the wind in their favour, showed plenty of vigour and determination in the second half, and the visitors were kept, on the defensive. Gronow and Griffiths dropped goals for Bridgend, and off-side play on the part of a Rhondda player led to a penalty goal for Bridgend. The only score which the visitors secured was a goal from a try got by Gunn during some slow play on the part of the home backs. He suit: — G. T. Pts. Bridgend 3 2 17 Treherbert ••••• 10 5 Treorchy v. Penygraig. Not for many years has the fight for the championship of the Glamorgan League been rendered more interesting than at the present time, there being a neck and neck race for the honours be- tween Penygraig, last year's holders, and Treorchy. The moist, exciting incident of this match was the scoring of the solitary try by Jere Bebb. The movement which led up to this was startingly sudden. Jack Thomas, from the line-out, darted off like a shot with the ball and passed to Bebb, who ran along the touch line and just managed to dodge the defending custodian, amid great excitement. Quickly follow- ing a high kick, Treorchy once again came within an ace of scoring, but a penalty awarded the visitors brought relief to the latter. Result: G. T. Pts. Treorchy 0 1 3 Peiiygt-a,ig .I. 0 0 0 1 Taibach v. Llwynypia. This match was played at Taibach on Saturday. The homesters commenced well, and the forwards heeled out nicely. Bad fielding by Taibach backs let the visitors' in, and Horrigan scored a try. The visitors continued to attack, and Piper dropped a fine goal for Llwynypia from a mark. The visitors still pressed, and one of their backs narrowly missed the posts with a dropped kick. Taibach now played up much better, and Willie Harris led a fine run right, along the field, and only missed a try by a few inches. Imme- diately afterwards Dai Lewis had the hardest of luck in failing to get over, losing the ball on the line. Taibach con- tinued to attack, but the visitors had a strong wind in their favour. After the restart, Llwynypia invaded the homesters' territory. Taibach rallied, and W. Harris almost got over. From a scrum in the home half the Llwynypia right centre broke through splendidly and scored under the posts. No goal resulted. The visitors continued to have the best of the game, but nothing further was scored. Result: — G. T. Pts. Llwynypia *1 2 9 TAIBACH 0 0 0 Goal from a mark. Under "Soccer" Rules. Pentre Higher v. Porth Higher Grade School. A match under Soccer rules was played between teams representing Pentre Higher Grade and Porth Higher Grade Schools on the Ynys Park, Ton, on Thurs- day, March 27th. This was the second time for the schools to meet, the first match at Porth ending in a victory for Pentre by 4 goals to nil. Thursday's game was a pretty one to watch. The first half was very evenly contested, each side scoring a goal, Naunton Evans scoring for Porth, and Idris Lewis for Pentre. The play of the Pentre boys in the second half was an improvement upon that of the first. The backs and halves fed the forwards well, and the forwards made good use of their opportunities to score. Bunford scored very smartly from a cross-kick, and Albert Evans placed the ball accurately from two corner kicks. The fifth and last goal was scored by Idris Lewis, whose play at centre forward was sound. The Porth goalkeeper was very active. A very pleasant game resulted in a victory for Pentre by 5 goals to 1. Llwynypia Albions v. Britannia. This match was played at Porth in very stormy weather. Britannia kicked off against the wind, and touch was found after some scrambling play near the centre. The visitors made, a rush up the field, but were stopped by the home goal- keeper, who cleared in fine style. A second rush was made by Llwynypia, with the result that play was brought up to the home goal. From a penalty awarded the visitors, F. Hathaway kicked a, splen- did goal. The homesters made a gallant display, but failed to obtain a score. Atfer some desultory play near the home goal, W. Ponsford scored another goal for the visitors. On the restart, Llwynypia found touch near the three-quarter line. Britannia, having the wind in their favour, carried the ball down and made stubborn attacks on the visitors' goal, but were foiled in their attempts by F. Tudball, the Albions' goalkeeper, who played a strong game. The homesters, however, failed to score, and the game ended in a win for the visitoa's. Result; Uoals. Llwynypia Albions 2 I Britannia 0 Cwmparc Notes. On Thursday last, the Cwmparc A.F.C. journeyed to Newport to play their first League fixture with the League cham- pions. Edwards (Treorchy) was unable to appear at full-back, but U. Thomas made an efficient substitute. Newport played three reserves, but fielded a, strong eleven. Cwmparc played superior foot-

ball, the combination of their forwards being a treat to watch. The visiting halves were in great form, and their worrying tactics upset the efforts of the Newport forwards. The defence also was very sound, and Cwmparc fully deserved their victory, which made quite a stir in South Wales League circles. Richards scored three good goals, and Stone's point was skilfully got. On Saturday, Cwmparc visited Ton- Pentre, and a battle royal for League points ensued. The weather conditions were all against good football, and Ton, adapting themselves to the state of the ground, scored thrice through Jenkins, Curtis (penalty), and Williams. Stone scored Owmparc's solitary point. Cwmparc have a, heavy April pro- gramme, Merthyr Vale, Llanbradach, Swansea, Treharris, Pontlottyn, and New- port being due to visit them in quick succession. Tbn-Pentre will also engage them in friendly rivalry on the 27th. The fixtures with Newport and Treharris are especially being looked forward to with eagerness, as the results of these games will decide the League championship. The Imperial Cycle Co., Ltd., of Bir- mingham, have just issued their 1907 catalogue, a booklet really of pocket size. It contains full particulars and clear illustrations of each type of machine pro- duced by the company, from their path racer to the carrier tricycle, and goes a long way-by the lucidity of description and the fact that, the illustrations are photographic reproductions — to explain the vogue enjoyed by Imperial machines. A copy may be had by anybody writing to the company and mentioning this paper.
