SOUTH WALES MINER'SI POSITION I NATION S WARRING TO THE MEti 1 (By Our Mming Correspondent.) i The probable effects of the action of the minora' delegates at Cardiff, on Saturday, in rejecting the settlement made between the Miners' Federation of Great Britain and tfie Homo Secretary, are being freely discussed among leaders and men in view of the adjourned oonforclnc3 to be held on Mouctay. It will- be remembered that the decision j to reject the settlement was met by a poser, last Tuesday, for when the conference' had to face the altemative-.vhat to do—the delegates could do nothing, exoepi, refer the matter back to the collieries. The reports from the collieries wiU be received on Monday, and the possibility, of course, is that the. decision of last Tuesday's meeting will be reversed. Several lodge and local j meetings have already declared in favour of that course. GABON'S SOLEMN WARNING, l cO The more I think {Yf it, the more sorrowful, and indeed bitter, I feel," said the Right Hon. W. Abraham (Mabon) i M.P., to me in the course of a conversa- lion as to things in South Wales. The madness of some of the men, if persisted in. would involve one of the greatest of t calamities, for which diey would have to thank fume of the I. L. P, leaders, whose action I can only describe as egotistical folly. The serious results of such folly, if persisted in, would be difficult to compre- hend. I do not wish to say anything nasty of anybody. Some of my friends may have as honest an opinion as mv o-xn. But they cannot have the experience I have had, and I say the way they sometimes point out misleads the men to most sorrowful con sen nonces both to themselves and their families. Without going further, I will say that for a body of men to reject a settlement as has been spoken of, which the executive of the parent Federation has accepted, and accepted with gratitude, and which the Executive of > the South Wales Federation themselves unanimously accepted, a settlement which exceeded their expectations, must mean the severance of South Wales from the parent Federa- tion. And it would mean a further split in the South Wales Miners' Federation f itself. Any so foolishly inclined as to follow the behests of some of the leaders would find themselves alone and with neither support nor sympathy from any other body of miners in the United King- dom. There is another consideration yet— they would be throwing themselves abso- lutely into the power of the military authorities. All should work loyally, and not disregard all the lives that have been laid down, or the lives of those who are fighting. I feel it my duty, and every- body's duty, to urge the men not to be led away, and I beg and pray that folly shall ¡ not be allowed Fo rule. I say this because it is my duty, and my conscience will lie clear after it. So far as I can, I shall oppose the continuance of folly. I shall do everything against it, and I hope that above all the men of the Rhondda, at any rate, will back me un."

INLAND WATERWAYS.) -qjk. Government Control of Canals I and Traffic. The canals in the country are to be taken over by the Government for the duration of the war. An Order to this effect was made under the Defence ef the Realm Act at the Coun- cil at Buckingham Palace on Friday, the regulation enabling the Board, of Trade to take possession of any canals in the Unitec1 Kingdom. The word canal" is to include all buildings, barges, machinery, and plant used in connection with the working of the canal. The Board of Trade will make an Order taking possession of the canals other than those owned by railways, which are ra. quired for essential traffic, and they pro- pose to appoint an executive committee to jj control the canals. I LOCAL CANALS. There are one or two important canals in Swansea and district. The Swansea Valley Canal, which begins it Swansea, terminates in the Yetradgynlais district of Swansea Valley. The waterway is practically dominated by the Great Wes- tern Railway Company. The chief traffic, on this canal is coal. NThe Neath Canal was censtruct-od in 1790. This waterway begins at Briton- ferry and terminates at Abernant, near j Abcrdare. This was the bret canal, so we are informed, constructed in the United Kingdom by Act of Parliament. The trade has been exceedingly 'flourish- ing, and not many years ago ztlftO shares were t'old at £ 300.. There are very valu- able coal mines along the route of thlt canal, and the future development of the canal looks very rosy. The principal trade is coal, copper, pole6 and general merchandise. The Port Tennant Cfcnal was com- pleted in 1818. It is a private undertak- ing, and was constructed by the late Mr. George Tennant. It starts from a junc- tion of the Neath Canal at Aberdulais, and terminates in the King's Dock, Swan- sea, by a lock. This waterway is approximately 10 miles in length. In former times it ter- minated in a dock known as the Tennant Dock belonging to the Tennant family, and which dock is now merged in the Prince of Wales Dock. The trade done on this canal is a miscellaneous one, com- posed of coal, minerals and bricks. It has had a flourishing existence, but now the. trade is of a fluctuating character.

GOLDEN WEDDING. I An Interesting Celebration at Kilvey. I I An event in which all Kilvey was greatly interested took place on Friday. when Mr. and Mrs. William Howell, of! Kilvey House, Foxhole, celebrated their golden wedding, they having been married of February 10th. 18tt7. Between them Mr. and Mrs WnI. Howell have con- tributer 122 years' service to the church.! As a young man Mr. Howell was a mem- j her of the choir and of the Bible class I which was conducted by the late Squiri, Grenfell. Mr. Howell inaugurated what is now called the "Lower School," then known as the Ragged School, which was conducted in tho Parish Hall. A tem- perance advocate, but broad-minded withal, Mr. Howell 33 years ago started the Church Temperance Society and now sees the fruit of his endeavours in a strong Band of Hope. It is worthy of re- cord that Mr. and Mrs. Howells have condueivd their work under 12 vicars. As a. churchwarden, Mr. Howell has seen 5 years' service, and for quarter of a century the lessons were read by him. For 62 years Mr. Howell has taken an earnest part in the work of the church. Mrs. Howells, in the Sunday School and in church work generally, has taken an equally active part as her husband. In the organisation of local church charities and bazaars, she has ever been to the fore We love the old church," said they to olf- representative. And," added 3fr. Howell proudly, for a long time the late Square Grenfell of Kilvey kept tip a cor- respondence with mo with regard to church work." There are two children, Mrs. Williamson, of Manchester, who is home for the occasion, and Mr. W. J. IIowcll. To celebrate the event, Mr. and Mrs. Howell entertained at the Parish Hall on Friday evening about fifty friends. Numerous letters, telegrams, and verbal [ congratulations were received by the' happy couple, together with some beauti- I ful presents. I In commemoration (If the auspicious; event; Mr and lira. Howell are presc-zit;, ittg a Bib7ts- for use on the lectern in ths, Phriah Church, and the first losson after j its instalment will be read by Mr- Bbwelili: It 19 hoped, too, that the, Bishop 01 St. I Davids will dedicate the Bible at the co-n firmation service which takes place on II the 23rd of this month.

Share- holders, however, ijiay look forward to 1 e ceiving the beneift of these reserves ir; some form or other in the future.

[THE CBEAT LOAN j OVERWHELMING SUCCESS I SWAK'SEA'S_ £ 8,100,800 I While any computation of the tots) sum subscribed to the War Loan can only; he guess work, a Press Association repre- sentative was inforrncd by a responsible official on Friday night that it had been roughly calculatid that a conservative estimate of the total amount of new money is from £ fi00,000,00a to SI ,283,030,000 The Stock Lxchango was talking confi- cie-ntly on Friday of a thousand millions of new money from the Lean. Uudoubt- cdly the figure will be beyond all prece- dent and, indeed, beyond all early ex- ,ct,ati( I -'ivc, wee Kg ago nothing even remotely approaching such a figure was, believed in the City to he attainable. i PREVIOUS BIG LOANS. I Prior to this war tho largest loan ever I floa,ted in tilis country was one of I 1-3,000,0()0 in consuls at the time of the IJJoer War. In the autumn of 1911 a an of 'S-350,000,000 was hoat-eci, and the following 1 summer the great per cent. war loan i realised a total of ahcmt £t)\jÜ,Oj.lO,OOO, of: which, however, £ 200,000,1100 was taken up 5 bv the banks. "WILL STAGGER WORLD. The prevailing opinion on the London 'Stock Lschango on Saturday morning ) waa that the response to the War Loan! would stagger the world. The subscrip- tions have been far above tho most e-.m-? t .,aiQ? c?P???ions. "G I SWANSEA'S £ 6,000,000. I Great RaHy on Closing Day. I Though at the moment it is- impossible ? ?ive the- correct total of Swansea'G (contribution to the War Loan, it is safe l ?) 61at that the town? total exceeds 6iN -million l?unds; in fact, the Swansea rbarometer at noon to-day registered this Amount.. It was a glorious rally on Friday, and -the buiiiiij and post otlieo were kept un- I ceasingly busy all through the day. In 811 the Svvansea banks, particularly at the post office in the case of the email investor, lple passed through in a I?c? contmuous ? proce?ion. Many parents brough tnen- children, in whose numo they inve6bed; some carried bandies of ftUed-in application forms with a cheque pinned to eh; while th?rc were several ea?es from the docks where clerks carried bags filled with cheques and franked forms. Swansea s rally, it be said, was a striking example of patriotism and the keen desire of the public to do all in Tht-ir power to help to win the war, and it serves as one of the finest de- monstrations of practical patriotism in the history of the town. Ono w elhknown local bank manager characterised the rally as H a record rush." whilst enquiry at all the Swansea banks on Saturday morning showed a similar etate of things. At noon on Saturday it was announced by the Borough Treasurer that Swansea's contribution amounted to £ 6,100,000. THE SMALL INVESTOR. I no interest of the small investor, saul t another manager, was a marked feature. But that interest should not wane, because the public could serve the purpose well by continuing to purchase df-ar savings certificates, which will b3 payable in five years." SAVINGS BANK'S PART. In this connection it is interesting to point out that the Swansea Savings Bank •have taken up for their depositors in the War Loan LI,5,700, £ 17,200 being conver- sions The total amount now deposited with the Government is £380,000. ,N ABSOLUTE RECORD. The Swansea War Savings Association had an extraordinarily busy time on Fri- day, and though figures cannot be given nt the moment, the number of applica- tion's is in all rejects an absolute record. One of the principal amounts invested in the town on Friday watt YIO.bOo froin me employes of Messrs. Baldwins. in two departments of the Leader office a sum of slightly over 21,250 lias been subscribed. HOSPITAL'S RESPONSE. "til keeping with its position as one of the most important institutions of the borough, the Swansea Hospital is contri- buting its quota to the War Loan. Both the board of management and the officials and members of the staff have don% their bit. In addition to the large sums in- vested by the Board on behailf of the In- stitution itself, a scheme has been put into operation by which all members of the fttaff have had an opportunity to take up stock, and repay the authorities by instalments over an extended period. Full .advantage has been taken of the scheme, and a substantial* amount of War Loan btuc, l has been taken 'up as a result. NEATH. Although the actual figures are not available, the statement can be ventured that Neath and district, through the local War SavinCommittee, has sub- scribed over £l,uIIJ,OOO to the Loan. The later additions announced are: £ I Mr. G. B. Price, Tonna 5,000 Mr. M. L. Daniels 2,000 Mr. John Rees. J,P. 1,500 Mr. W. G. Joines, Western Moor 1,000 I Mr. and Mrs. Arnold 1,000 1: Mr. W.

The post offices at Port Talbot and Aber- ,on were kept open on Friday night till nine o'clock, and this extension was fully ju.ified. lhere was a great rush for the War Loan, and business in War Saving Certificates were particularly brisk. The hard propaganda work put in by the War Savings Committee told at last, and when the secretaries are able to put the figures together it will be found that Aberavon and port Talbot, though regarded at ^headquarters as black spots," have 1 ifspondnd a.s loyally as any other dis- trict- The colliers have at last fallen into ,line and are forming War Savings Associa-

He joined up in 1914, and was later I transferred to the Inniskilling Dragoons. His brother is. also< on active service. STRADEY FROSTBOUND. I Much disappointment was felt when it wafc found that Stradey was again un- playable on Saturday, the ground being still frostbound. It was to have been the venue of the charity match between*. Llanelly and Machynis, the proceeds of which were to have been devoted to the widowed mother of the lato Morgan J. Twiiiing, the captain of the Machynis (cam, who came by his death so tragic- ally- Apart from the worthiness of the cause, the fixturo was looked forward to with considerable interest owing to the keen rivalry that exists between the teams, who have already met twice this season, honours being easy on each occa- sion. It is hoped that on the substituted date King Fr6at will have passed away. PROMISING PLAYERS. The Park Athletic Ciub is a promising young organisation. Its Soccer team this season has been remarkably success- ful, having won all its matches. To-day they had a fixture with Swansea St. Helen's at the Half-way Grounds. THREE TO ONE. The newly-formed Trimaaran Associa- tion team were led to victory by Harry Neale- against Burryport on Saturday. All the players acquitted themselves well, and the combination on the Trim- saran side was distinctly good. Much is expected from this new combination, ii"c should make iteelf a force to be reckon with. The result of Saturday's game was: Trimsaran, 3 goals; Burry- fcort, 1 «goal. The scorers 011 the winning tide were Harry Nealo (captain), Johnny B^ non, and George Burke.

A  MELEE. I A GREENH<LL MELEE. Swansea Detectives Savagely I Assaulted. The story of savage as??uli? on two Swansea detectives tWa? told at the s M.I.- eea Court on Saturday, when John Henry Ryan, labourer-, was summoned for assaulting Detectives Francis and giibl) at Greenhill on February 3rd; also with refusing to assist the officers when called upon to do so in the names H.M. tho King. Detecti^fe W. Francis paid whilst arresting a deserter a large crowd gathered and lwc-amo very hostile. The defendant, when called upon to assist, struck witness heavily in the face. He used filthy language, and, seizing the deserter's tunic, attempted to rescue him. At that time both the officers and their, prisoner were struggling on the ground. Defendant kicked Gubb on the head with such force that the officer was "complk-tely knocked out." Mr. Harold King, prosecuting for the police, characterised the assault as a most brutal one, and added there was no reason why defendant should not have assisted the officers. Defendant broke down and e-obljed out t!")t"he was a married man with three children, and had never been in trouble before. A friend came home from the front, and lie had a drop of whisky, and could not remember anything. Mr. Ross or fiud that to kick a man whilet lie was on the ground was a cowardly thing. [VT each assault on the officers defendant was sentenced to three months' imprisonment, the terms to run consecutively. The other charge was not pressed.
