Our Note BooI iiI, WZI '■ Transport Workers' Move- ment.—Federation Officials at Swansea.—" Smoker at the Metropole.—Presen- tation to Mr. Robert Wil- liams. Mr. James Anderson, the first general secretary of the Transport Yvorkere' Federation—a position which he relin- quished at the close of the great Lon- don dock strike last vear-and one of the most sagacious and level-headed men connected with the London labour movement, told a couple of goou .stories during his week-end visit to Swansea. On one occasion he was asked to at- tend the funeral of a member of one of the branches of the lightermen's organisation. Mr. Anderson readily availed himself of the opportunity of shoeing his respect for a departed com- rade, but was surprised a few days later to receive a note couched in the follow- ing terms: "Dear Sir a.nd Brother --I am desired by our members to thank you for your attendance with banner and regalia at the funeral of Brother and beg to state that it will afford me the greatest pleasure to do the some for you at the earliest oppor- tunity." On another occasion Mr. Anderson came upon a man who had applied to a certain firm for work, and was placed on a lighter, when he was put to assist in the discharging of a con- signment of lead pigs." The first few lifted were handled with seem- ing checrfulness. But after the man had been at work a couple of hours he began to feel a severe pain in the hollow of the back. Jumping up on to the quay he. inquired of a mate for the fore- man. Then, as the fatter appeared, he turned to him and remarked: "I was just wondering, sir, whether vou took my name down right." "01, yes," answered the foreman, I have it cor- right," answered the ot her, "I thought you mistook me for Sampson." The appointment of ex-Counculor Robert "Williams to the secretaryship of the Transport Workers' Federation has naturally been a source of much satis- faction to those amongst whom he for- merly worked at Swansea. This was made abundantly evident by the con- gratulatory speeches at the "smoker" held under the auspices of the National Amalgamated Labourers' Union on Sat- urday? when the new Transport Federa- tion Secretaj-y was made the recipient of a tangible mark of esteem by the coal trimmers of the port. Nor were I the congratulations extended to him confined to the trimmers. Leading figures in the transport move- ment-Mr. Harry Gosling, Mr. Ander- son, Mr. Ben Tillett and others— joined in the felicitations. They had much to say in praise of the recipient who had already shown admirable: qualification for what is admittedly one of the most difficult and iraport- j ant positions in the Labour move- ment. The responsibilities attached to the post are naturally great, but Mr. Williams has tackled the work. onerous as it has been, in a manner which has already earned for him warm com- mendation from all sections of the affiliat.ed workers, and particularly from the older hands, who know some- thing of the ability, tact, an d good sense demanded in,safeguarding wisely the interests of the quarter of a million men of which the Federation is made np. In the opinion of his friends Bob is destined to go a long way. The warships which the Admiralty authorities are arranging to send round to Swansea on the occasion of the Regatta are almost certain to dock, and if they do enter the harbour they will in all probability be coaled m the port as well. If the First Lord is able to despatch the type of vessel for which application is being made, Swansea people will have an opportunity of seeing some of the fineslo fighting units in the British Navy. The details regarding the composition of the contingent to be sent iiav vet to be arranged, but it is sin- cerely hoped that Mr. Churchill may see his way to accede to the request made to him on behalf of the Regatta. Committee. In which case the success of the festival will, with fine weather, be more than assured.  be,, I don't know a better cure for the critic than jjarcl work.

The family, who reside at 11, Bryn- road, were apprised of the discovery near Dijon by a Leader" representa- tive on Saturday. During the day Mrs.. Morgan despatched a message to the police in the French town, and on Sunday afternoon received a reply to the effect- that Mr. Morgan was pro- gressing satisfactorily. The Injures iVJan. I This morning tho family received a letter from the hospital authorities stating that the injuries consist of a fractured shoulder and injuries to the '-ractu i- -M I j head, and that there is no immediate danger. The French police were at first under the impression that Mr. Morgan might have been the victim of foul play, but i+ is now stated that t4ey a,re convinced that the fall from the tra.in was the re- suit of an accident. This theory would seem to be confirmed by the fact that the sum of £10 was found in his hat. Mr. Morgan, as already stated, is a well-known frgure in Swansea dock circles, where the story published in the Leader on Saturday created a great sensation. The Leader's" special correspond- ent at Dijon confirms the statement as to the police theory. Messrs. T. Cook and Son are al; o looking into the matter at our Tequc-st..

THE WARSHIPS. I LOCAL M.P. AND FIRST LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY. THE COALING QUESTION. 1 Mr. John Williams, M.P., has re-1 ceived the following letter from the I Admiralty "Admiralty, Whitehall, 19th April. ? Dear Sir.—Mr. Churchill desires 1 me to say that he has had great pleasure in informing Sir David Bryn. mor Jones that arrangements have been made for a portion of the 4th Flotilla to be at Swansea during the regatta.—Yours, faithfully, I E. Marsh." "John Williams, Esq. I Torpedo Craft. I The 4th Flotilla is understood to consist largely, if not entirely, of tor- pedo craft. Mr. Williams left for London this afternoon, but before his departure he informed a "Leader" representative that he was personally not altogether satisfied with the type of vessel which, he gathered from the foregoing communication, would be despatched to Swansea, and that he intended I whilst in London to make further re- presentations to the First Lord with i the object of securing tho attendance of some mo dern cruisers in addition to I the craft upon which Mr. Chuurchill had already decided. Regatta Secretary's Opinion. Mr. Fred Andrews, the secretary of the Regatta Committee, seen by the Leader" man, expressed satisfaction with the answer last week that a naval contingent would be sent, and said that given suitable weather, no doubt need be entertained with regard to tHe success of the, regatta which might indeed be said to be already assured. He be- lieved that the authorities at White- hall would be doing a splendid thing from the recruiting point of view m sending some of the larger type of i vessels, which had been suggested by Mr. Williams, to Swansea, and trusted that the additional representations which he understood were being made would be entirely successful. Coaling. With regard to the question of coal- ing in the eveau of 2Trangements being made for the despatch of some modern t. tho S-,vansi-a cruisers, inquiries d the Swansea Docks to-d&y connrmed the view ¡ put forward in these columns on Saturday that coa-l-i suitable for I naval purposes are being worked m the ) Swansea district. I have seen huge columns of smoke rising from several of the Fleet at Spithead," says well-known coal expert, on which the best Welsh steam coals are supposed to be used. One could cnlv express astonishment, inasmuch as the large, dense cloud of black smoke inu off would enable a vessel to be distinguished by an enemy in case of war, miles off. I am confident that Swansea can do something much beter, antd T hope that local coal will bp given a trial. If it is, the result ought to be the transferring of a ooodlv number of orders received from the Admirnltv from time to time from Cardiff to Swansca. n

As has been stated already in the '"Leader," these members 01 the force who object to the promotions have pre- pared. a memorial embodying their objection, but this will not be pre- sented—and indeed no action taken— unless tho committee ask for it or un- less the promotions are re-affirmed, As one member of the force put -it, "We are quite ready to trust the justice or our case to the Watch Committee. "e have made 1 our protest, and the minute was withdrawn at the aieeting of the Council. The Watch Committee will, no doii bt, discuss it, and it they ask for our views we are ready to give them, but until then we prefer to do nothing, but to leave the matter to the Com- mittee. "Ot course, if they again recommend these promotions it will then be time for us to consider what action we shall take. One thing you can emphasise— all this talk of a split :s mere bosh. We are absolutely unanimous in the matter." Another officer, however, insisted that there was a difference of opinion in the ranks, on the lines already indi- cated in onr cohimns.
