I SHOP "PICKETS SWANSEA ASSISTANTS9 I- STRIKE I j I Swansea Shop Assistants Union's quarrel with the Maypole Dairy Co. in regard to the hours of opening of its ¡ three shops ill Swansea went a stage further last night, when there was picketing outside the shops, a protest j meeting outside the Labour Exchange, and a decision to request the National j Exccutive'o, permission to withdraw! labour from the shops in question. i Tho Maypole Co. has an announcement in itg windows that: As our moii are de- mobilised from war service we shall keep our branches open longer, thus giving greater facilities to the shopping public, finding employment for more men, at the same time decreasing the working liouro of our staff." 50 HOURS INSTEAD OF 63. The Union secretary, Mr. W. J. Close, pointed out to a Leadet" reporter the ground of objection to this arrangement. They had protested without success, ho said, although a year ago the colilpaiiy agreed to conform to local closing hours. It was agreed that the change meant r. I [resent reduction in hours to Muypcie band? from the usual M per we?k to 50. Tho Union's aim was 48. They naturally I agreed to this principle, but the cong- tt?i,cnmg of the extension of ev?mng houru were iearicd. If a few shops reniainet; .01),n they had an unfair advantage; others, including some unable, because < i small staffs, to provide the shift system commenced by the Maypole, would: follow, and the result would be a return to the old, bad, unnccosearily late hours --which. by the way, he believed the IoLzl employers now recbghesed were wrong. If the company persisted, Mr. Close, added, they would withdraw labour, ewa; if their National L.x<x.'ut;ve's order L that fefit'ci, which they expected, were fi, forthcoming. PICKETING. The picketing last night took the for.. of handing to those passing the open gitu. j a circular. j At the mass meeting Mr. W. R. Bawc. who presided, said lie beiioved the < ployers' organisation in !-?\an?a ?? j agreed that 0 the present hours of opem g j "•^ere adequate to the public nee. Ic was high time that the fc. assistants' iiours—feiiey wo.ie ■ I. enough—should be curtailed, n. prolonged (Applause). ihey knej the Swansea liabour Association wouictc,-i, everything in its power to support tlirir] claim. There were other questions to face, including that of the wages paid to II shop ac-sistaiis generally. Mr. H. Earns urged unity among shop assistants, and Ald. W. Owen also pro- tested against the company's action, and I' spoke strongly on the general question of shop assistants' wages from experience in his own family. Unfortunately the "hop assistants, like the clerk, had re- j garded themselves as too "respectable" j in the past to take their share in the,, fight for the uplifting of the class to which they belonged. (Hear, hear). But they forgave them both their past, and would support them tooth and nail. I (Applause). I MORAL EFFECT. I They talked about the moral etate of J the town, but in the case of the shop as- sistants the employer demanded a cer- tain status of respectability that was be- yond theit i-a!-niu6,s ill view of the de- mands upon those earnings. Let them stsk themlve6 what, this drove girls to. There was the danger of their getting it .)ut of -working h„irs 01 robbing- their- employers. A resolution, unanimously carried, de- I plored the action of the company in pro- longing the hours, and demanded the im- mediate withdrawal of the scheme. MEETING OF LOCAL UNION. f At a packed meeting of the local branch of the Shop Assistants* Union which fol- lowed (a Leader tnan was informed), It tvas Unanimously (ifcided to fight the company, and, if a reversion to the uni- form hours is not forthcoming, to ask the National Executive for authority to with- draw the assistants from the three shops. 1 Information had not then come to hind I as to the action of the Morrist.on blanch in regard to the shop there. Meanwhile the secretary was authorised to circularise trades unionists of the town upon the question. I HUNDRED NEW MEMBERS. I Mr. Close said there was already good! ground for believing tht if the Maypole Company mamtamM its attitude other multiple shop companies would follow, and this would open at once a very seri- ous issue. A hundred new members were elected i at last night's meeting. i OTHER GROCERS' VIEWS. I The 6wHnse& Grocers' and Proviaion I t?alcra? Aw)ciation has not considered the position created by the hours quarrel (tepottd elsewhere), but it is gathered that there is unlikely to b? a disposition I to extend hours, except, perhaps, at points of competition," since it is re- cognised that the earlier closing has con- siderable advantages. Although the Shop Hours Act permits them. to remain open till 7 p.m., the general time is 6.30 p.m. Some (whose trade is ina inly of a family character) close half an hour earlier, and no diffi- cultieg have arisen from this.

LLANELLY RATES. I Councillor's Protest Against the Union. At Llanelly Finance Committee on Moiiiiay, Ald. Nathan Griffiths presiding, the Town Clerk (Mr. H. W. Spowart) submitted his estimate for the general distrrct rate lor the half-ycttr ending September 3Qth. The gross estimated expenditure amounted to V,628. and the receipts to £ 12,7715, leaving 916,685 to be raised by rate. lie suggested a rate of 3s. in the £ as compared with 2s. 9d. for the corre- sponding period of last year. The Estimated expenditure in connec- tion with the borough fund was £ 2,065, and the receipts C173, leaving C2,791 to be covered by precept. A rate of 5.3d. in the £ was suggested by the Town Clerk as compared with 5.ld. WOULD NOT JOIN. I Councillor D. Jennings blamed the Llanelly Union for not having joined the Swansea, Neath and Pontardawe Unions in the scheme for getting to pay on increased assessments. Adoption of these rates was recom- mended.

J. ¡ Soiae fev. months ago the Tours-ar-tinc, I new French steamer, buik in America in 1917, at a cost of about JESOiOOO^-was making for Swansea to take* a cargo of coal for France. In the misty morning she lost her bearings and ran en the 'II rougli jagged rooks of Hunt's Bay, just bdo VI Pwlldu. The salvors triedtoget. her off. but tiltriately abandoned < her, and the Tours was regarded áå a total loss. Then Messrs. C. E. and H. M. Peel purchased the hilk ar, Bite lay, and the. intention was to break her up. Then a I Midland firm of salvons catne on the scene, arranged terms with Messrs. ,PeO, and for t?-er a ntonth they have been making cSoris on a grand scale to succeed j where others ?l-d. I THE TASK. J I The ship's botlom plates had been practically torn away. and plate laying operations were first necessary. And so the Tours, lies on her side, wedged be- tween the rocks. The first task was to repair The damage done\ then a cradle was bu:lt around. After that came the work of blasting tlwaysharp points of rock that migh1: I work disaster op the progress of the Ship to the sea. Some GO or so men have been engaged on the job, and these find accom- I modàtion aboard tho craft. I THE DAY. And new all is nearly ready for the effort.

No, not eevfH o'clock 1 Summer t;me ?11 have been adopted by then, and, therefore, it will be at six o'clock. Seven tugs—practically all those in Swansea—have been engaged for the occasion, and all tlia't now SreinJa-ine 58 to atvait the morning of April 2nd.
