[ LATE REV. J. ROGERS.
LATE REV. J. ROGERS. Death of Well-known Burry- port Minister. The death took place on Saturday morning at the residence in London of his younger son, Dr. A. Rogers, of the Rev. John Rogers, the veteran We'-n Congregational minister, who spent .111,1 of his ministerial career at Btirrfport, as pastor of Jerusalem Welsh Congre- gational Church. Deceased was a native Pontrhydyfen, and he won the affec- tion not only of the people of Burryport, but he was held in the highest esteem all over South Wales. His pas;ora\e at Jerusalem was not only successful from the more material point of view, but was distinguished by ;ts deep spirkualf.ty. The late Mr. Rogers was a fluent speaker, with much of the Welsh hwyl," and he was a man loved by his congregation. Although for some time past he had not been in good health," the news of his death was received with the profoundest regret. All through the country the Con- gregational denominations thought t highly of .the, late f>>OT ->f Jerusalem, j las popularity, too, was not confined to the adult section of the community, but the children looked'* upon him as' their friend. In Burryport, he knew almost every child who passed him on the road, and he never saw them without saying j a kind word or patting them affection- ately on the head. HIS ELDER SON. I The elder son is the Rev. J. Phillip Rogers, B.A., pastor of Charles-street Congregational Church, Cardiff, and is a well-known preacher of brilliant powers. He has frequently officiated at anniver- sary Services in Burryport, with his father taking the opening part of the service. Besides the two sons, four daughters mourn the death of a father who was revered in his own /intimate family circle.

jFATEFUL WF??  i —— Momentous industrial Issues. This will be a fateful week in the in- dustrial life of the country. By next Saturday (ays the Times ") it will be known whether the three great bodies of organized workers who are parties to the ■ Triple Industrial Alliance—the Miners' Federation of Great Britain, the National i Union of Railway men, and the Transport i Workers' Federation—are to plunge the j country into the turmoil of a concerted general strike, or whether their efforts to i achieve their respective national pro- grammes are to be continued along the lines of peaceful negotiation and pro- j gress by instalments. POSITION SUMMARISED. i ml- J- ■ j.: i J_1_ In-- prcBviu position, onu tne arrange- ments for the week, of the various groups > are as follows:- Miners.—The case for the programme of higher wages, shorter working hours, and nationalization of the industry has been hurriedly investigated by the Special Commission, and, after to-day's sitting, the Commission will prepare an interim report on hours and wages for presentation next Thursday. On Friday the report will be discussed at a miners' conference. On Saturday, unless the Conference otherwise decides, a strike j will be declared in all the coalfields. R,ailwayinen.-The demands of the men > for the conversion of war wages into per- manent rates and other changes, includ- j ing equal representation with the com- j panies on all managing bodies, have been under negotiation for several weeks >> nil J the Railway Executive Committee. A ) railwaymen's conference has rejected tht) Committee's offer and insisted on their i full demands as an irreducible mini- i mum. Their representatives will meet ) the Committee again on Wednesday and report to a further conference on Thurs- day. Transport Workers.—Substantial pro- j gress has been made towards settlements of the demands for road transport workers, and dock and waterside workers. The terms offered by the port employers ) have been referred to the various dis- tricts of- the Federation, and their re- ports will be consdered at a general con- ference in London on Wednesday. j I THE MINERS' CONFERENCE. I Much will depend on the decision of the Miners' Conference on Friday. On the evening of that day the joint execu- j lives of the Triple Alliance will meet at. Unity House, Euston, the headquarters "bÍ the railwaymen, to consider the ques- tion of joint action. At their last meet- ing. on February .oJ, a resolution was passed in which, after declaring their gense of the grave consequences involved j in a atoppa.? by any of the parties, the j ¡ three executives decided that:— > 1 No section of this alliance shall agm- to any action or settlement until thio conference has again been called.
H W.E.A." ,
H W.E.A." Extension of the P/lovement ta Swansea. A conference of national import was that which met last Saturday in the hall over the Co-operative store in Orchard- j street, Swansea. Classes in connection with the Workers' Educational Associa- tion have been running in Swanea, ifor- o-s-tfach, and in Morriston, and on Satur- day these unitedly considered the advisa- bility of establishing a branch in Swan- sea. Councillor W. J. Davies presided. Mr. Davidson, the Swansea class tutor, said there had been in Swansea, univer- sity tutorial classes last winter and this, in which men and women had gained an understanding of social problems which had benefitted them, and now they sug- gosted that the-work should 4a extended. Mr. J. Leonard, a student, said the Swansea class had been beneficial to them all. He proposed a resolution recom- mending the creation of a W.A.E. branch at Swansea to further the interest of public 0pinion.. 4 Mr. J. H. Jones, a Fforestfach student, seconded. He urged that they ought to have about 30 classes in the town. Prof. Etherington thought the proposed branch would exercise influence on educa- tion, and be an advantage to the town. Reconstruction was only possible with an educated democracy. Prof. J. R. Jones (Glasgow), said that if they succeeded in making people e-lithus- I iasts for education, their work would be J done. ) Mr. Codd remarked that W.E.A. work was capable of infinite expansion. Dr. S. H. Watkin (Penartli), urged that the present moment was a most eri- tical time in the history of Swansea. The resolution was' unanimously j adopted. ?-adopted. evening a concert was held at I which the folowing artistes appeared:— Madame Lilian Edwards, Miss Coles, Messrs. Isaac Edwards, Edward Evans, W.

"UNDERPAID." What Colliery Winders 11 Earn. I r A PERILOUS CALLING. LONDON, Monday. ) The Coal Commission entered upon the j third week of its investigations in the King's Robing Boom at the House of Lords to-day. There was a considenthle attendance of the general public. The fimt witness was Alderman Harper Parktrl, of Hanley, Staffs., general secretary to the National Council of Mine Workers other than miners. Alderman Parker explained that there were 50,000 men affiliated to the council, covering an area including North and South Wales, Cheshire, North and South Staffordshire, East Worcester- shire;- West Staffordshire, Shropshire, Forest of Dean, North Warwickshire, Leicestershire, and part of the Yorkshire coalfields. Witness spoke in support of the demand of a 30 per cent. increase on the present rate3 of wages, a reduction of working hours to six hours per shift, the merging of all percentages, war bonuses, and war wage advantages into the wage rates, to the granting of two weeks' holiday with full pay each year, and that in respect of night work and week-end shifts, time and a half should be paid from the end of the day ?hift for all work, and double- time from midnight Saturday to midnight Sunday. REJECTED OFFER. I An offer for a working day of eight and I, a half hours was rejected by the men. A further offer was made of a 49 hours week of fix day?, and the Mining Association pledged its word that if the offer were ac- cepted negotiations would be resumed on -the question of an absolute eight hours' day in January. They were informed by the Mining Association that the Com- mission had been instructed, and the men felt they were entitled to bring their case before the Commission. The wages dispute was eventually settled by a grant of Is. 6d. a day. WAGES OF WINDERS. I Replying to the chairman, witness said the present wage rate in Lancashire, Cheshire, and North Wales, for winding engine men was 12s. lOd. a day, inclusive .of all war advances. Boiler stokers re- ceived about 9s. 9d. a day, and far engine men 10s. a day; pump attendants were paid about 10s. a day. The winding en- ginemen had the most responsible work about the surface of the mines. I ■ ALWAYS ON THE STRETCH. They started &t Lz years ot age, anft stuck it to an old age, some being over 70. If one man forgot for a single in- 6tant he could never recall his mistake. ( The result must be either damage to pro- perty or injury to life or limb. Mr. Justice Sankey: He is on tli,e4 stretch all the time. Ald. Parker, agreed, and added that there was no provision for meal-time. If the demand for shorte rhours were granted it would be necessary to employ more men to provide an extra shirt. NOT COMMENSURATE WITH VALUE The wages paid had never been com- mensurate with the value of the work. The men had just been able to live on a -en able to live on a hare subsistence level, and their expendi- tare often overran their income. They I ought to receive extra remuneration for I right work and week-end work, and to be given b. fortnight's holiday at the em- ployer's expense. At present there had been a pleasurable experiencib of one day's holiday. Mr. Evan Williams worked it out that the demand of the men meant an in- crease of from 100 6.10 235. i "UNDERPAID." I Witness replied that he had not worked out the figures, but if that were so it only showed that the men were very much underpaid at present. ) Ald. Parker agreed with Mr. Williams that his company had gore one better than the Miners' Federation 'in not tak-. ing into consideration the war bonus, With a view to curtailing questions, the chairman said there were nine wit- nesses to be called, and the Commission would sit until midnight if necessary.

-PUZZLING rM!HUK.I
  PUZZLING rM!HUK. I EMPLOYERS AND BOILERMAKERS TERMS. Swansea boilermakers who, with their fellows thro'ig|»out the Bristol Channel ports have been on strike for two months OIl a disagreement on piecework terms, will act on the decision of a conference at Cardiff on Saturday, and present them- selves for work to-morrow on the old day rates. An official report states: "It was re- solved that as far as the boilermakers are concerned they consider the strike to be over, and will present themselves for work on Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock on the old terms, which are:—Platers 7s. a day, rivetters 6s. 6d. a day, holders-up 5s. a day, the week to consist of 47 hours and overtime to bo paid according to port rules. In addition to this there is a war bonus of 25s. Cd., plus n per cent." PUZZLING POSITION..1 The position is a puzzling one, since it I is not denied that on piecework the men I earned much. more than the total of from S3 12s. to S4 per week, which the above figures would yield, and the employers ¡ want piecework conditions. Pending the I result of a conference at Cardiff, em- ployers will not venture to comment ton a Cardiff statement that the terms will not be conceded. Some of them frankly state that they cannot make head or tail of the new terms, while others des- cribe them as bluff." Is it to be sup posed that they will work for lhiB pav when they have earned so much more OB piecework ? one asked. 1 MEN'S POINT OF VIEW. I I Mr. A. C!ement, president of the Swan- I sea branch of the Boilermakers' Union, pooh-poohed a C ardiS employer's sugges- I tion that the terms amount to an in strike if they are accepted. They are a I serious contribution to a settlement, he paid. Not willing to go back on the piece- work terms (complicated and involving lists of prices of things from a ship's stem to stern), they desired reconstruc- tion. He quoted, with approval, a state- ment of the district delegate, Mr. John Jones, that the terms represent OUT base position, or the foundation of the men's demands. When a man has laid I the foundations of a bttilding, 'his intpn- tion is to build on those foundations," That those foundations would be more convenient than the old ir,, a Leader man gathered, the m?n's point of view. Meanwhile, according to an employer the ship repairs trade locally is beingr ruined, owners sending elsewhere rather than suffer inconveniences.
