,—————— REFUSED TO RETURN. I LLANELLY WORKHOUSE INMATE AND HcR CH.LUKtN. Mary Elizabeth Hope was charged on re- mand at the Llunelly Police Court on Monday with absconding from the Work- house on April 17th, aud carrying with her a garment belonging lo the Llanelly Union. Defendant pleaded guilty. Mr, Joseph Bevan, master of the Work- house, said it VIM reported to him that the defendant deserted the Workhouse on April 17th. A search wae, made for her, and when she was found eiie was persuaded to return, but she refused. Defendant had five chil- dren, and her husband had absconded. The Clerk (to defendant): Are you pre- pared to return to the Workhoure? Defendant: iNo, sir; 1 cannot stop there any longer. 1 have been there two years already. The Presiding Magistrate (Mr. Thomas Jones): How are you going to maintain youriipH and children? Defendant: 1 have had to work in there, and I shall have to work outside. The Clerk: Don't you think you .had better return to your children? Defendant: -No, sir; I will not. I told Mr. Bevan the other day that my husband wan in Pontypool, and he did not take any steps to fee if he was there. The Presiding llagistrate: What are you able to do for a liying Defendant: 1 can do anything. The Presiding Magistrate (t-o witness): Ha^ she abeconded before? Witness: No; but paupers can discharge themselves and their children. The Presiding Magi" trat,e: Are you willing to take your children out from the Work- house ?

The Presiding Magistrate: We don't care to scud a woman to prison, but we are afraid you have been badly advised. We think you have turned stubborn, and rather than send you to jail we remand you for another week in order that you may have time to reconsider the matter.

THE REAL HIGHWAYS. 1 MR. WARDLE DISCUSSES THE NATIONALISATION OF RAILWAYS. LLANELLY MEETING. I Addressing a meeting at Llanelly on Sunday night, over which Mr. Neft pre- sided, on the question of the nationali- sation of railways, Mr. G..J. Wardle, M.P. for Stockton, said it was a ques- tion that undoubtedly affected the daily life of the people of the country. The Real Highways. I Although the roads had been nation- alised, free use was allowed to every- body, and if it had been found neces- sary to nationalise highways, on which all kinds of traffic were tree, for tho public good he ventured to suggest that it was time they nationalised the railways, which were in reality the real highways 01 the country at the present time. Another circumstnace that had brought this question into greater pro- minence was the fact that there had been amongst the railway companies an abandonment of any idoa oi com- petition between themselves. There was no such tiling as real effective competi- tion between them now. They were amalgamating, and working agreements were being made between each other with the re-suli that bit by bit they were coming under a much more restrictive control. He did not think this was al- together to the bad on the contrary, he thought it was to the public good, because the way was, being made easier by the companies themeselv-os for the railways to be taken over by the Gov- ernment, Loss of Promotion. I Another consideration in favour of the problem being urged was that thero had lately in the control of railways been themselves large changes. For a more strenuous life and harder work railway- men had a more restricted income, be- cause while their wages had gone up a little, the cost of living had increased I even more. The loss ot promotion was a vita.! matter. It had almost become a case of once a fireman, always a fire- man." Mr. Wardle said that until the discontent had been cured, and until the men's grievances had been put right no one had any right to ^y the railway- men should not strike. A new memorial was presented to the Prime Minister the other day from a large number of M.P.s asking him to see that a com- mission of inquiry was appointed in order that this subject might be thor- oughly gone into. He (Mr. Wardle), was in favour of an inquiry if nationali- sation of railways could not be got by any other means, but his opinion was that there had been inquiries enough in the past. i" i ■

MOTORMAN'S PP,OMPTITUDE I CORSEINON CYCLIST'S PROVIDENTIAL ESGAPt AT LLAHtLLY. Thanks to the promptitude of Motorman J. Jones, who is employed by the Lilanelly and District Electric Light and Traction Company, a serious accident was averted on Saturday afternoon. The car was pro- ceeding in the direction of the station, wbcn a Gorseinon cyclist endeavoured to cross the line in front of the car near the Presbyterian Chapel. Motorman Jones, realising the cyclist's dagger, immediately applied the brake, the car thus being brought to a standstill al- most at once Except for being knocked off his machine, and sustaining a few scratches, the cyclist had a providential escape.

TERRITORIAL SPiiRTS. I At a joint committee meeting repre- sentative 01 the West YVaies Territorial Associat on at Carmarthen, bit, James Hills-Johnnes, of Dolaucothv, presiding, a discussion took pi ace with regard to the forthcoming territorial Champion- ship competitions to be held at Cardiff. Colonel LJoyd, chairman of the Pem- brokeshire Territorial Association, said that in consequence of the distance it was not likely that Pembrokeshire would send representatives to the tour- naments. With regard to Carmarthenshire and Cardiganshire, the meeting decided to ask tne commanding officers if there were first-class athletes in their units likely to take part, the question of pay- ing the tares oi mounted units to be de- cided by each county association.

CORSEINON CANTATA, I Two performances of the cantata en- titled "The White Garland" were given by the Noddfa Juvenile Choir, under the leadership of Mr. Beddoe Francis at the Drill Hall, Gorseinon, on Thursday and Saturday evenings. The eliRirmen on the respective even- lings were Mr. D. Jones, Crown Stores, I I and the Rev. c W. Walters (Talmai), I pastor of Noddfa. Both performances reflected great I credit on all concerned, the duties de- volving on the conductor and the pianist. Mrs. William Jones being dis- charged in a most praiseworthy manner.

WHIT-MONDAY EISTEDDFOD. I The eisteddfod to be held at the Llanelly Market Hall on Whit-Monday in aid of the Llanelly Hospital is likely to be a "thump- int; success. Prizes amounting to f200 are offered, and the number of entries in the various contests is very gratifying. The- hospital is sorely in need. of funds, as its accommodation at present is far below what it should be. and this being so, it behoves all workers to be up and doing, as this institution'in a sense belongs to them.

TRADE AT LLANELLY DOCKS. I During the month of March t.rade at the port of Llanelly was very satisfactory inas- much as there wa. not only au increase un the import and export e,ide as compared with the preceding month, but also oom- pared with the corresponding period of last year.

PARLIAMENT. e — MP EMPLOYMENT OF ALIEN OFFICERS ON BRITISH SHIPS. MENTAL DEFICIENCY BJlL. (special to the "Lcoder." ) I l HOUSE OF COMMOAS, Monday. I The Speaker took the chair at 2.45. Mr. Joseph Pease, replying to )11. Ke:r Hardie, said representations had been made to him as to the difficulty in which necessitous school areas were piacod by reduction in the amount ot the grant received by them this year under the regulations, but he w ais pot aware that it had been suggested that the Government had broken its promise in the matter. The whole subject was under the consideration of the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer and himself. I Alien Officers on British Ships. Mr. J. NN. Robertson informed Colonel Yate that the number of alien officers employed in British registered trading vessels was steadily decreasing. The question of excluding aliens from holding cert?ncates under the British holdin(, d:?' been considered, and it had not hitherto been thought desirable or necessary to take action in this direc- tion Raising of Railway Fares. Mr. Robertson, answering Mr. Will Tliorne, said he was awar of the de- cision of a Scotch railway company to increase third-class and excursion lares. The Board of 'I rade had no power to interfere with the discretion of a rail- way company as regarded the revision of fares so long as it kept within the statutory maximum. I Coming Education Bill. Mr. King asked whether the Govern- ment would, by the educational reforms which were in contemplation, give effect to the hopes and promises with regard to schools which were expressed by r. Lough when speaking on behalf of the Government in HJOH. Mr. Joseph Pease said he must ask the hon. member to await the intro- duction of the Bill. Mr. King: Would it not be desirable to carry out old pledges before under- taking any new ones. (Opposition cheers.) No answer was returned. Mental Deficiency Bill. I Mr. Lloyd George informed Colonel Burn that the Government intended to proceed with the Mental Deficiency Bill and hoped to pass it this Session. (For further report see }.;i'xt Edition.)
