No one lias been overlooked. In the full light of •public inquiry our just claims will be insisted upon. The choice if between definite and systematic progress and the dangers of. social disorder. A false step now might not only wreck our Federa- tion. hut would also spoil our chances of making any further progress through the medium of the Coal 'Industry Commis- sion..For those reasons we strongly urge the nicii to accept the terms already offered by the Government."

I TREACLE AND SUGAR. Swansea Firm's Claim Against G.W.R. At Swansea- County Court on Wednes- day, before his Honour Judge liowhind Rowlands, Messrs. Walters, Jones and Co. claiihed from the G.W.R. Co. damages in respect to lasses on half a cask of syrup in transit. Twenty casks we're consigned to Messrs.

Three bags had been sent, and some sugar lost. Mr. Villiers Meager (instmoied by Mr. Stanley Owen) wa.s for plaintiff, and the G.W.R. Co. was represented by )1T. R. W. Pine, of London. The defence to the claim was that the ftreat Western Co. were public carriers, but not responsible for damages caused by the act of God or by the inherent vice of the material carried. In respect of the enigar, evidence was given by Albert Edgar Hacker, of the Severn Ports Warehouse Co., Sharpness. ITe said the bogs were in a sound con- dition when they left him.

Walters, Jones and Co., said that there was a shortage of 1 cwt. 2 quarters 10 lbs., and the bags had been re-sewn. (Proceeding.)

COCAINE CASE. I DE VEULLE AT OLD I BAILEY. I At ACTRESSE S DEATH LONDON, Wednesday. At the Old Bailey to-day, before *1; Justice Salter and a jury, Raoul itegmaid de Yeuiie (3b), ants designer, appeared on an indictment, and on the inquisition ot tue coroner's jury, charged with the manslaughter of Florence Leonora Stewart, kuown us Billie Carleton. actress; also with conspiring, federatuiy, and agreeing with Ada ie Plug iu to pro- care large quantities of cocaine for,cei- tain purposes for other than authorised peroui36. Sir R. D. Muir and Mr. Fulton ao- p^ared for the proeecution. Mr. Hrmtiy Leukine and Mr. Bridgiuan dctended. 1 The accus.ed entered th" dock short! j, before 11 o'clock. He entered it with a brisk step, and a confident air. lJe Veuiif was very well groomed, and wore ôI- fashionably cut dork overcoat. To the inuici ment lie pleaded Not guilty m a J;: III and ratiier loud voice. Una 01 the jury objected to taise the oath, and, being asked his reason, re- plied, "1 do not believe in a supreme being." He then affirmed. Sir R. Muir, in opening the case, sak! the jury would have to try the whether prisoner supplied the young actress, Billie Carieton, with cocaine, and whether she died under such circum- stances as to make him liable for th- death, AFTER THE BALL. Counsel detailed many of the cixcum- atances with which the public were niacin familiar during the preliminary investi- guiions. He described the death of Biilie Carleton at her fiat after the Victor., Ball, and laid emphasis on the conten- tion that there were no signs that the demise had resulted from natural cause*. The analysis made by Dr. Richardson pointed to an overdose of cocaine, Noii* of the circumstances pointed to suicide. It was true that she ow-L-d 1:200 or Lo00 to her bankers, but she had an engagement at the Haymarket at i:17 a week, and a prospect of better engagements. COULD COMMAND MONEY. She could always command money, and the deposition of her friend, Mr. MaMi). who had, unfortunately, since died, would be admissible as to that fact. Dealing witit the question of how de- ceased came into possession of large doses. of cocaine Sir Richard said it would not be contested that the person who supplied her did so unlawfully. If EO, whoever supplied her with wilat proved to be a fatal dQs-e was guilty of manslaughter. WARNED BY DOCTOR. Proceeding to unfold a sene6 of occur- rences extending over t hree years, couiu-ei called the jury's atleutioJi LD ibe acn. of Dr. Stuart, a friend of Billie Carieton. who had made strong efforts to get her to abandon the use of drugs, and then, coming down to September 10th last. ll Kichard described how Dr. Stuart- had warned De Veuile against supplying cocaine to the deceaseo

tENIN DENOUNCE01 PETROCRAD WORKMEN'S DEMANDS Important news of a series of strikes in I Russia of considerable magnitude has I (says the Times"), been received in I this country from a trustworthy source I in Petrograd. The feature of the agitation was a de- claration made by thousands of workmen ] and peasants in direct opposition to Lenin and his satellites. The dispute was entirely political, and was, it i6 said, I tantamount to a Socialist strike against I Bolshevism. ) Exclamations of "Down with Lenin! I and similar anti-Bolshevist cries were frequently heard. I The agit.ation is reported to have been the work of the. Social Revolutionary Party, backed hy the workmen, though it is probable that the former had really less to do with the actual strikes. Several factories became involved, but the great t works belonging to Putiloffs seem to have  been the centre of the strike movement. I At these works on March 10 a general I' meeting attended by 10.000 workmen was I held, when significant decisions were arri ved at. A comprehensive resolution giving ex- ¡ pression to the sentiments of the workers was carried by an overwhelming majority not more than 25 persons in the vast i assembly voting against it.

TRAINING THE SOLDIER Carmarthen Pensions Com- mittee Ask for Local Centre. At the Carmarthen Borough War Pensions Committee on Tuesday, a sub- committee appointed to consider the question of providing training for dis- charged and disabled soldiers, reported that there was great reluctance on the part of ex-Service men to undergo train- ing at centree removed from home. This deterred many men from seeking aasietanee which would enable them to bocome skilled workers. N umbers of men obtained employment in blind alley" occupations as a direct oonse- quence of the delay in arranging for their training. The sub-committee urged that in view of the popularity -of training at. motor neohanics, immediate arrangements should be made to enable those now wait- ing to be trained locally. The repprt was adopted, together with a resolution viewing with alarm the in- adequate provisions for training in Car- marthen. It was also reoolved to ask the County War Pensions Committee to receive a deputation. -I
