Under the Lamp.I
Under the Lamp. I [By THE WATCHMAN."] I Even we at Ammanford have been hardly hit by the railway strike. Due to the irregularity of the postal service, we are this week almost cut off from our local contributors, and in these cir- cumstances matters have been far from satisfactory in the compiling of our columns. Our readers will understand the difficulties placed in our way as a local journal. It is to be hoped that ere our next issue will appear, some arrangement will be come to so that the insertion of district news will be assured. < < < The present strike—one of the greatest in history-has practically crippled all industries. True, we have not yet felt the pinch," but with confidence the burden imposed will be relieved. During the dark days of the war, our united efforts led us to victory, obstacles of great importance were sur- mounted, and the result fortunately turned in our favour. Inconvenience will predominate during the present crisis, but we are appealed to realise the difficulties existing. It is a valu- able asset to our future that the food supply of the community is assured. No one will deny. the right of the children to a meal, however scanty it may prove to be. I can safely say that, should need be, the adults can and will share the last morsel with the members of the future generation. < < A good deal of comment is in vogue locally over the Hoarding Order, which is still in force. We could un- 1 doubtedly say a good deal after events which have transpired this week We even loathe to hear dear and kind friends moaning over the shortage of butter. Whether bounteous supplies in tubs have arrived at Ammanford is hard to believe. There is an idea prevalent that Llandilo is a land flowing-with milk and honey-we mean butter. < < Very little is being done in the Amman Valley to promote Dramatic Societies. Why, we cannot under- stand. On each occasion we are com- pelled to seek the favours of outside organisations. Not that I begrudge these people their just dues, but when we have local talent at our disposal, it is only fair that their ambitions should be rea l ised. I hope that promoters of these functions will take this friendly hint. J < Among those stranded over the railway strike was that eminent poet- preacher, the Rev. J. T. Job, Fish- t guard. On Wednesday he passed i through Ammanford en route for Car- i marthen, whereat he was conifdent that ( a conveyance would meet him to I the end. of his journey. Speaking to a « local gentleman on the National Eis- teddfod question, he felt assured that < Ammanford would be given every con- I sideration with regard to their claim for I the holding of the 1922 event thereat. The Committee, hf further stated, was anxious that new plates of proninence should be given an opportunity. Very strange that I was informed by a local gentleman this week that he had received a communication regarding the bells at the famous old Talley Abbey. These now are at Exeter, and it is pre- sumed that in the bygone days they were conveyed by road to Llandaff, and from there by boat to Ilfracombe, and on again by road to Exeter. It is very few people that have realised the significance of the old Abbey and the history attached thereto. Should even the history of Ammanford, be compiled, that, too, would provide educative reading material. < < The eisteddfod held at Llandovery, I hear, passed off very satisfactorily, despite the inconveniences due to the absence of railway facilities. Two local gentlemen were included in the list of adjudicators, and they gave entire satisfaction. They were Mr. W. Jones (Gwilym Myrddin), Bettws, and Mr. J. Harries-Thomas, A.R.C.M. < < < As the Great War progressed, the multitude of badges and distinctions became confusing, and few could claim to know what every badge and arm- band signified. But there was not much excuse—except, perhaps, that he was a Dominion soldier-for the sentry over a bomb store who neglected to salute a Divisional General. The story is told by a London Gossip, and to me is new. The General gave him every chance; stopped, indeed, to speak to him. Do you know your duties? The sentry knew his special duties quite well Yes," and about salutes, compliments to officers? I have to salute officers, and I've got the tip to be particular with majors and colonels; others don't matter so much." The General patiently pursued the subject. The sentry' s hand went inquiringly to the General's shoulder, fingered there for a moment the cross-swords and the stars which betoken a Major-General. Yes," he concluded, somewhat reluctantly, you are a sort of an officer. I suppose you are a second- lieutenant, Machine Gun Corps." Per- haps-since the M.G.C. is a very new corps-a glance at its badge will be necessary for some to judge how much excuse the sentry had. « It has been stated that it costs one of the London dailies a shilling a copy to bring their papers by air to Swansea. Thus it is an evident proposition that the London journals are not anxious for a prolongation of the strife. Neither do the local newspapers! Upon their distributing department have been thrown problems of a most perplexing nature. < < < I hear that the local discharged men contemplate the purchase of a Army Hut for recreation purposes. Lord Dynevor, following his usual genorsity, has come to the fore and offered to provide a suitable site for its erection practically gratis. In order to meet the cost, it is proposed to call together a number of influential people to suggest means to overcome any difficulty. May every success attend their effort, is my humble wish. « Death has removed from our midst one of the world's premier prima donnas, in the person of Madame Patti, who passed away at Craig-y-Nos on Saturday morning last. Only a few days previous to, her death Madame Patti was. in London to welcome Madame Tettrazzini on her reappear- ance in this country. The dowager queen of song paid a generous tribute to the beautiful voice of the Italian cantatrice, who inherits her traditions. The unnatural character of this cruel and avoidable railway strike is made manifest in the fact that its effectiveness is to be measured by the damage done to the country, the number of works stopped and workmen reduced to en- forced idleness, the amount of dis- comfort, hardship and suffering inflicted on the public, and the degree to which 4 p- .M. the food supplies of the people are interrupted. These are the factors relied upon to force the hand of the Government. The latter's function is to reduce the low and suffering, and, above all things, strive to ensure the feeding of all-including the strikers and their families. To the latter end, the facilities for road transport are being mobilised. < < It is interesting to note that the stal- wart Baptist, the Rev. B. Humphreys, Felinfoel, who recently spoke at the presentation meeting to the Rev. J. Griffiths, B.A., B.D., on his departure from Ammanford, recently completed 30 years' successful ministry there. A native of Talyboot, Cardigansh ire, and the survivor of two brothers eminent in the ministry, he worthily succeeds the late Rev. John Jones, of magnificent personality, who was a foremost Dis- establishment campaigner in his day, and one of the greatest preachers of Wales. From the chapel door one can see in the ancient burial-ground of Adulam a beautiful monument erected to the memory of Mr. Jones by the renowned church, of which he had been the much honoured pastor for 16 years.
Interment of the Late Mr.…
Interment of the Late Mr. John Harries, Waunddwfn. The high esteem in which the late Mr. John Harries, Waunddwfn, Bettws, was held was abundantly in evidence on the occasion of the inter- ment of his mortal remains on SatuTzi-ey afternoon in the Christian Temple burial-ground. Though the railway strike prevented the attendance of numerous relatives and friends from Street, Somerset, and from different parts of Glamorganshire, the cortege was still a large and a representative one, the bereaved family being deeply sympathised with in the grief and sorrow which so suddenly came upon them. A short service was conducted at the house by the Rev. Havelock Roderick, and at Christian Temple a very impressive service was held. The officiating ministers were the Rev. D. Tegfan Davies (pastor), Rev. D. J. Moses, B.A., Tycroes, Rev. D. E. Harris, Rev. D. Bryniog Thomas, and the Rev. W. Moelfryn Morgan. Mr. Gwilym R. Jones, organist of Chris- tian Temple, Played the Dead March in Saul. The Rev. John Morgan offered prayer at the graveside. The mourners were:—Mrs. Harries (widow); Rev. and Mrs. T. B. Harries, Street, Somerset (son and daughter-in-law); Mr. and Mrs. Walters, Ammanford (son-in-law and daughter); Mr. and Mrs. Frank Price, Pontycymmer (son-in-law and daugh- ter); Mr. and Mrs. Mayberry Jones, Glanamman (son-in-law and daugh- ter); Rev. and Mrs. W.

Gwaun-cae-giirwen Stoppage
Gwaun-cae-giirwen Stoppage The Coe1 Controller has wired re- gardant the position of Gwaun-cae- gurwen Colliery, where 750 men were under notice to terminate contracts when the railway strike stopped operations:- The Controller of Coal Mines regrets cannot instruct owners Gwaun- cae-gurwen to recommence work at col- liery. Full investigation has been made at the colliery by a member of staff of Coal Controller, and it was impossible to carry on colliery except at consider- able financial loss, unless certain recom- mendations, made by Mr. Cooke, were agreed to by owners and workmen. The owners were willing, but the workmen declined. I suggest that Mr. Cooke meet the Executive at an early date, and fully explain matters. Controller." It is understood that a Council meet- ing of miners will be held at Cardiff next Saturday to consider the matter.
