MINERS' DISTRICT MEET- t INGS. AVON VALLEY. THe monthly meeting of the Avon Valley District of Miners was held at Port Talbot on Saturday, Mr John Thomas (Duffryn Rhondda) presiding. The agent (MT William Jenkins) again complained of the delay in securing a mere equal distribotion of the coal trade m South Wales. Recently there had been an enormous decrease in coal shipments from Port Talbot and Swansea. At Port Talbot there were better facilities for loading coal than any other port in the Channel, and he failed to SEie why these districts should have to suffer through the lack of orgnaisation between the Shipping and Coal Controllers. Unless some- steps were taken to immediately re- lieve the present situation he was of opinion that the miners throughout the country would he compelled to adopt a five days a week policy. A great deal of restlessness prevailed thr-ought the entire coalfield owing to this continued depression m various parts, and especially in view of the lack of food supplies and the exorbit- ant prices chaTged. He appealed to the men, however, not to adopt any sectional action, but to await for united support. The district protest- ed gainst the delay of the Food Con- troller in taking steps to secure a better distribution of food suplliies. The district also discussed the ques- tion of increased Parliamentary re- presentation by the miners, and were of opinion that a greater number of seats should be contested by the Federation, and they instructed their delegates at the M.F.G.B. Conference to urge upon the National Federation to increase the representation for South .Wales. Messrs Wm. Jenkins, J.P., and Jojhn Thomas, Pomtrhydyfen, were unanimously re-elected secretary and treasurer of the district respectively. It was decided to give a donation of £ >o. to the Swaasm. Wapital.

Jenkins; secretary, Mr David Bonner; treasurer, Mr Lewis Lewis; auditor, Mr William Bowen, Glynogwr. The food question was discussed, and a re- solution was passed calling upon the Government to institute immediately a system of compulsory rationing. A further resolution was passed asking the executive to approach the coal- owners with a view to getting a house coal supply for the widows of soldiers who had been miners and been killed in action.
