OCEAN COMPETITOR ADRIFT. U.S. Airship Falls Into Sea. ST. 10HN'S (Newfoundland), Thurs- day).—A Friday's wireless message from a British teamer announce that the United States dirigible C5, which broke adrift to-day, fell into the sea 85 miles from land. The steamer is standing by, and a de- etroyer is hastening to the scene to salve the airship. Three accidents occurred when the dirigible broke away. Lieutenant Little sprained his ankle, a boy aged 15 broke his leg, and another boy received an In- jury to the brain and is not likely to re- cover. The correspondent sayz the crew had an uncomfortable night on the journey to Newfoundland with fog, wet and cold. The supply of food also proved insuffi- cient. The ship flew at a height of 1,000 feet, and kept up an average speed of about 30 knots per hour. When the machine broke adrift it blew seaward, and within two hours had drifted beyond the strongest glasses. The American de- etroyer. Edwards immediately gave chase. AMERICAN 'PLANE STARTS. The start of the great international flying race across the Atlantic was an- nounced in the following Reuter tele- gram from New York last night:- New York, Thursday. A telegram from Trepas^y says that the American aeroplane N.C. 1 has started for the Azores. The Americans have thus captnred r from their British rivals the honour of being fust off in this great adventure. World-wide interest and expectancy have been enhanced by the character- istic energy displayed by the Americans in their eager efforts to beat Great I Britain U.S. AIRSHIP BREAKS LQOié. t Not only have they sent their biggest and latest naval seaplanes to Newfound- land for the flight, but there also arrived at St. John's yesterday, after a splendid non-stop flight of 1,200 miles from New York a naval airship which, it is stated, will prepare to cross the Atlantic direct to England and thus beat the great British airships R33 and R34, which are understood to be preparing in this country for the Transatlantic flight. Last night it was reported that this airship had broken from her moorings at St .John's and had been carried out to sea. There was no one on board.

THE PRINCE SWANSEA VISIT. I & H.R.H. ANXIOUS TO COME I The Cambria Daily Leader" on Thursday gave the good news, om the authority of the Mayor, that Swansea. would in all probability receive a visit from H.R.H. the Prince of Wales in June. We are now able to give far more defi- nite information. The Prince is coming to South Wales mainly for the purpose 01 attending the Royal Show at Cardilf. Re is to reoeive the honorary freedom o>2 the City of Cardiff, and it is expected that he will make two visits to the Royal Show. His stay in South Wales is to extend for four days, from June 23rd to 27th, and it ics probable that the visit to Swan- sea will be on the 27th. The Prince is extremely anxious to include Swansea in his South Wales tour. It will be remembered that during his last visit when H.R.H. eamo to Port Talbot, he expressed to the Mayor of the time, Aid. Ben Jones, his regret that his arrangements could not include then a visit to Swansea. But he expressed the hope that at some later period he would be able to visit the town. POSSIBLE PROGRAMME. ?? I ? I There was no news in official circles ar Swansea on Friday as to the intentions of the town with regard to the visit, but on all sides there is eagerness that the Prince should be invited to the town. The Mayor (Councillor W. H. Miles) and the Town Clerk were in London, and it is possible that they will endeavour to secure for Swansea more than a flying visit from his Royal Highness. At present the Welsh tour is expected to terminate on June 27th, but probably a strong effort will be made to get the Prince to spend at least one night in the town. There are few big schemes in a state of development sufficient to ask H.R.H. to participate in any ceremony, and the chances are that the Swansea tour will chiefly consist of visits to some of the most up-to-date of those works that, have combined to make Swansea the metal- lurgical centre of the world.

36 YA-RERVICE. 1 Presentation of Medal to I Postal Official. Mr. Thomas Powell, one of the oldest postal servants in Swansea, recently re- tired after 36 years' service. A good deal of interest was displayed in the presenta- tion to him of a long service medal from the King. The actual presentation is to be made by the Postmaster (Mr. Pascall) on Friday afternoon.

MAYOR IN LONDON. Ir The Mayor and Town Clerk of Swansea were on Friday attending the annual meeting of the Municipal Corporations' Association in London.

LOCK-OUT ENDED. WORK ON MONDAY I PANEL TO BE SET UP I On Friday the Swansea Cargo-workers held a meeting at the Elysium to consider the erm8 of agreement arriTed at by the Employers' Association and the Main's Representatives at the joint conference on Thursday. After nearly two hours' sit- ting the men agreed to the terms. SETTING UP A PANEL. I The gist of the recomineaid-ations agraed to by the joint conference and submitted to the men on Friday was as follows:— (1). Return to work on the ISØme basis as they came out. (2). Subject matter of dispute to be di&cuseed between employlars and Union officials. That the new tariff be gone into immediately, this eliminating 8011 claims for extras. (3). Setting up of machinery after the ■restart of work tor the purpose of deal- ing with claims that cannot be settled between Urvon officials and Employers in the form of a panel—om- representa- tive for the employers and one for the men-wit-h an independent oharrman. (4). Where employeri3 and men fail to agree this panel must be called within twenty-four hours. Work will be resumed on Monday morning. A COMPROMISE. I We understand that the employers re- gard the arrangement in the nature cf a compromise, the ow important point being that in future claims for extras can only be made through the constitu- tional machinery set up, and that theie will be no stoppage of work pending settlement of the dispute. TAIBACH STRIKE. 1 No Change in Position at Messrs. Baldwins. Th'? position with reference to the strike of labotirer-s at Messrs. Baldwins' New Siteelwoirks, Taibaoh, remains the same. Work is practically at a standstill. About 400 of the labourers affected are members of the Workers' Union, and they have como out on their own initiative. Their coming out has effected praotioally a-11 the men engaged in the works, and about 1,200 others are rendered idle. Mr. Raes Llewellyn, the men's repre- sentative. is in tOlldl with the Court of Arbitration in London, but go far nothing definite has bern decided upon. There will be another mass meeting on Friday afternoon, when Mr. Rhys Llew- elyn, the men's representative, will address them.

A RECKLESS DRIVER. j At Neath County Sessions on Friday, Herbert J. Granfield, Neath, pleaded guilty to driving a motor car recklessly on the Neath road, Crynant. The constable stated that the defendant was driving down the hill at a rate of 40 miles an hour, and the lorry actually swayed and rocked. Mr. Edward Powell said defendant was an experienced driver, and had been in the Air Force. He was fined X2.

RENT TABLES. A Full Official State- ment NEW BOROUGH. I In an interview on Friday morning the Swansea Borough Treasurer sought to clear up the misconceptions which have developed round the question of the in- creases in rents permissible in the bor- ough up to September 30th next, in con- sequence of the increase in the rates for the half-year then ending. We hope that I the effort Mr. Ashmole has made, and his tables appended, will have that result. OLD AND THE NEW BOROUGH. I At idle outeet Mr. Asu.moie pointed out that his tobies iutu beu. based on a period ot 22 weeits irom April Zbth, in conse- quence of the dare ot the rate being adter the commeneement 01 the half year. 1 his 22-week period had been found to be the most convenient, and, li the increase in rent was not made till after April i&th, it might have to be correspondingly greater. 1,4cxt, I want to emphasise as strongly as pcssinie/' ALr. Aisimi-uie went OOl, uiut the table you have published do not apply to any other area than the old borougii 01 Swansea, the reason being, oi course, that in lall, the rates in the outer areas were not the same ad Swansea's, and, therefore, the increases cannot be the same. VARIED EFFECTS IN NEW AREAS. xne bnects in tne various added parishes are different. I show them in aefcait in these tables, but, summarised, they are:- Uld Liansamlet.-No increase over 2d. per week on post-war rent justified, and that 2-d. only on properties rented pre-war at as 3d. per week, or rated at £ 6 or le.66. Thus the permissible increases on pre- war rente range from Id. per week on a 2s. 9d. per week rental (rateable j:4 per annum) to 2d. on as. bd. per week and £8 rateable. Old Close.—On 3s. 6d. per week rental and X4 per annum rateable, N. per week increase is justihed, increasing to l!d. per week on á6. rental and 98 rateable. jJe- yond that rent and that rateable value, no increase justihed. "Old Pendeery.NL-o increase juetified on the ground ot increase in rates. Old Brynau.—Warranted increases range from lid. per week on pre-war 2s. 9d. per w-eek and *64 rateable, to 2-id. per week on 5s. 6d. and £ S rateable..Beyond the latter nothing is justihed. Old Oystermouth.—2d. per week ja justified on pre-war 2s. Ski. per week ren- tal and £4. rateable, up to 4d. per week on be. 6d. renal and Si rateable; bsyomd that nothing. -.Old p -void ketty,. Cockett, Waunarlwydd, and portions of Dunvant and Killay), you will set is more compli- cated, in consequence of there being no increase on the houses rated at S9 and 4*10, and only small on those immediately higher. This is owing to the fact that previously owners had 30 per cent. dis- count on rates up to Y,8 and nothing over, and that now they are in the borough they have 171 per cent, to X10, and smaller amounts over. The table should be care- fully studied." I AFTER SEPTEMBER 30th. I In conclusion, Mr. Aslimole pointed out that in every case the tables dealt only with the, period up to September 30 next, after which the whole of the amounts might be altered, according to whether the rats? was less o more. The greet probability was that the rate would not alter, but even supposing the rate was the same there might be slight alteration6 because of t.ie 22-week question. If the owners were able to ascertain the amount of the next half year's rate from the be- ginning of the period, they could calcu- late on the 26-week period, which gave the tenant a slight benefit. If the rate was I the same for the next half year the rents ¡ should be.

AUG. 3-4-5. SUNDAY, BANK HOLIDAY, TUESDAY. 0. The National Peace Celebrations. We understand that it has been de- cided, should the Peace Treaty have been duly signed, to hold the National Peace Celebrationg on August 3, 4, and 5. Sunday, August 3, will be devoted to religious services of thanksgiving; August 4, the Bank Holiday, is the fifth anniversary of the declaration of war by Great Britain against Germany. Another consideration which has doubtless weighed with the Government in select- ing the dates mentioned is that they cover a period generally devoted to holi- day-making, and consequently there will be the minimum dislocation of public business.—The Times." ======

BOROUGH SURVEYOR., I —?- 1 Mr. Heath and Blackpool I Appointment. I Several special meetings of municipal bodies in Swansea have been Summoned for Monday next, lnirst, the Main Drain- age Committee will mlt, folkmed by the Parliamentary Committee, and afterwards there will be a Fpedal meeting of the Council in c?mu?ttee. The Council is { expected to have before it recommenda- tions from the two committees named, arising out of impor.ant and urgent mat- ters considered by the Main Drainage Sub-cojnmitt?e on the 13th inst. Inquiries made &t the Guildhall by a Leader" man on Friday d?d not yi?Jd any result, there apparently being reticence in I official headquarters. We are, however, inclined to think that one of the important matters that may I arise, referred to in the summary of the special Council meeting, is that of the retention of the services of the Borough Surveyor. It is well known that Black- pool has advertised for a surveyor, and that Mr. Heath was in the short list. It is also common knowledge in a more limited sense that a few members of the Blackpool Council recently visited Swan- sea. The probability is that resolutions will be brought from the Main Drainage Com: m,'ttee to the Parliamentary Committee to retain Mr. Heath at Xl,000 a year, which is the salary being offered by Black- pool.

TINNED FISH. I Britonferry Grocer's Wrong I I m pressi on. John Richards, grocer, Britonferry, was summoned before the Neath County jus- tices on Friday for selling tinned fish above the maximum price, and also with failing to exhibit in his shop a notice of controlled prices, Inspector Wm. Evans spoke to visiting defendant's shop and being served with a tin of silver sild, for which he was charged Is. The maximum price was 10Ad. When questioned, defendant said he thought brisling and sild was the same article. Questioned by Mr. L. M. Thomas, who appeared for the defence, witness said it had come to his knowledge unofficially that the matter bad been before the Britonferry Food Control Committee. Mr. Thomas- And they decided not to prosocute ? Witness: Yes. and there is something behind it. If you press the question I will tell you more than you care to know perhaps. Mr. Thomas: Well, if there is some- thing behind it let it remain there.

FRENCH DELEGATION. On S$s;uday next Swansea is to receive ti visit from a delegation of the French ,'nited Protestant Housing Committee in czrryag out the programme arranged for them by the eWlsh section of the British. Auxiliary of the movement. The delego- t on, which will remain in the town tor two days, will consist of M. Paul Fnzier. State Councillor, Paris; M. Cornelius de Will .president of the Committee, with Madame de Witt; Professor Fernt Menegoz, Stra-ssburg Faculty of Theology; and, in all probability, Pactor Charles Merle d'Aubigne, of Paris. The object of the movement is to mike in appeal to the Protestant churches or Great Britain and Ireland to assist the- TYench churches in their effort to provide temporary homes for the hundreds of families of their members, whose homef and means of livelihood have been des- troyed by the Germans in the invaded dis tricts of France.

I I DISOBEYED ORDER. George Munden, labourer, Aberavon, was summoned at Neath on Friday for disobeying a maintenance order in respect of his son, who was an inmate of the Bridgend Asylum. WaTrant Officer Gabriel said the amount outstanding was .£13 15s., and although defendant was earning £ 2 las. a week, attd only himself to keep, he made no effort to keep up the weekly payments. Defendant maintained that his boy was qni,te all right, and did not want him kept n the institution. The Clerk The magistrates han nothing i io do with that. i Ordered to Nt
