The Comb=out of Miners. BALLOT THIS WEEK. At a nutting of the Executive Coun- cil of the Soutli Wales Miners' Federa- tion at Cardiff on Tuesday, Mr. Jas. Wipstone presiding, a report was re- ceived from the Miners' Federation of Great Britain to the effect that they were bound to take the ballot on the oomb-out question this week, as the matter had bec-cme urgent. Therefore it was resolved that the ballot be taken on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday this week, the results to be posited to the general secretary, the Right Hon. Thomas Richards, M.P. not later than Saturday next, seeing that they have to be in the hands of the M.F.G.B. on Monday, in readiness for the general conference to be held in London on Wednesday next. It was decided to urge upon the lodge officials to make every endeavour to get the ballot carried through satis- factorily. EASTER HOLIDAYS. A letter was reeved from the Coal Controller intimating that there was no objection to the usual holidays be- ing o bserved at Easter, and the general secretary was authorised to make ar- rangoiiieiitt3 with the coalowners' sec- retory for this purpose. The holidays to be taken are Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday in Easter week. MOBILITY OF LABOUR. A report was received from a depu- tation who had met the representa- tives of the National Service in Lon- don upon the question of the trans- ference of colliery workmen to ship- yards and other industries. They stat- ed that the arrangements, although praotically completed, had not yet teen received, and the final details had to be, deferred until the next meeting. Mr oah Reswasappointed to investigate the dispute respecting the V charge made for house coal to colliery workmen at the Great Mountain Col- liery- PAY DAY. A large number of the lodges of the Federation having passed resolutions upon the necessity of the workmen se- curing their pays on Friday instead of Saturday, it was resolved that the officials, with Mr. Vernon Hartshorn and Mr. J. D. Morgan, should inter- view the Coal Controller. CALL FOR A LEAD. Speaking to the Bast Glamorgan miners, the agent (Mr. Hubert Jen- kins) invited the delegates to express an opinion to the coalfield on the forthcoming ballot. Whatever might be the views of different men regard- ing the origin of the war, it must be patent to everyone that they did not desire to see this oountry sharing a similar fate to Russia. Therefore, un- til some response was made by the so- called German democrats the military machine must be maintained. The Ger- man Socialist majority, so far as they were able to learn, had pledged them- selves for a period of three months not to embark on any strikes, thereby ap- proving of the German Imperialistic policy in over-running Russia. That in itself should be an object lesson to them. The meeting was unanimously of the opinion that the executive council should give a lead to the coalfield in reoommending the men as to how to vote.
