COLLIERY OFFICIALS. Union Meetingl-feld at Neath. A meeting of the South Wales and Mon- mouthshire Colliery Officials' Union vraa held at the Y.M.C.A., Neath, on Satur- day evening. Mr. E. J. Ponter, Resolven. presided, and there delegates present from Neath, Neath nnd Dulais. Vallcy.s Skewen, and Port Talbot. The Chairman said that the time had come when they should all pull togeth-e.' He was a.fraid that they had been toe proud in the past to val ue trade uniollislI Mr. W. M. Lewis (Macsteg), organiser and general secretary), said that in view of the activities of the National Union oi Clerks, especially in that area, every mem- her should take a keener interest in their affairs. The Miners' Federation had d" cided to recognise their Union (the officials) only, and he hoped that that alone would influence many of the clerkt to come into the Officials' lTnior» RECOGNITION. Mr. Lewis referred to the growth of tho branches in the various districts, and es pecially since their affiliation with the Federation. A new soalo of waws had been prepared, but it was essential thaf they should first of all secure recogni- tion, and then they would be able to prfr sent their demand to a Joint Board. The Federation had pledged itself to siippor4 them in'obtaining recognition, and th* Ministry of Labour was now in comniun* cation with the coalowners on the matter SURFACEMEN PAID TWICE AS MUCH. The officials in the past had been bodiv exploited, a.nd were still badly exploited "In many districts the surface men were paid twice as much aM the officials wIll" supervised them. The coalowners wev- etriving to establish craft unions, so 5" to create rivalry and dissension, and he hoped that this would be avoided. Mr. Cawker (local secretary) also ad- dressed the meeting, and Mr. Lewis dealt with a number of local matters.

There was a good mneter of choristers hrouffht from the Ya-llrr by e-pecial train. The conductor was Mr. Evan Haddock, Gorseinon, while the Bettws popular harpist Mr. George 1. Thorn a*, presided at the organ. The singing was very good through. out the day, despite the sultry weather. A large congregation attended.

Rhystyd Davies presided n die afternoon, and M.r. Morgan 49&Mi Ammanigrd. in, the evaning. [

NEW SILOH FESTIVAL. Strong Congregational Singing at Landore. Those who are in a position to judge, and who can recall previous festivals in past years, are unanimous in their opinion that the singing at the festival services at New Siloh, Landore, on Sun- day reached a standard equal to that of any previous year. At each of the three services there was an excellent at-- tendance, and, indeed, in the evening the sacred edifice was uncomfortably crowded. In this brief paragraph it is impos- sible to refer with any great detail to tho renditions of various well-known hymns, but one cannot refrain from touching upon the truly wonderful inter- pretation of Hermon," which was fol- lowed by Glanhowy." The first was sung to the words Ar lan Iorddonen Ddofn," and the second to Pwy Ydyw y Hhai Hyn?" In these two instances was certainly found tho best effort of the day. THE ORGANIST. This cannot be said of the interpreta- tion of Dr. Caradog Roberts' now famous In Memoriam." One felt that the organist and the congregation were at variance here—and that the organ- ist's reading was correct. And here it is necessary to say that Mr. Ivor Owen, who l)l'esicled at the organ, contributed m a large measure to the success of the event. His wonderful mastery of technique was evidenced again and again-, and his playing of Hermon and Glanhowy was soul-inspiring. The singing gnerally bore testimony to the ability of the precentor, Mr. John Lewis, and the good work he is accom- plishing at New Siloh. The tfev. Samuel Williams conducted the services, which have geucraHy en- hanced the already cx{'l¡cnt reputation I of the chapel's congregationnl singing.

DAY'S RABBITING, I I Ammanford Men's Celebra- tion of Gwyl Dewi Sant. How three Ammanford men oelebrrrfed St. David's Day was told at Llandilo on Saturday, when David Williams and Wm. Williams, 13, Harold-street, Tiry- dail, were charged with trespassing in Capel Wood, Llangathen. on land in the occupation of Earl Cawdor, in pursuit of conies in the day time. Edward Belamy, a gamekeeper, who was accompanied by an assistant named I David <*TifIitlis, caid that when he came up to the defendants a ferret came out of a hole. Witness took possession of it. Defendants asked him what he was going to do with it. TIe said he was going to keep it. In that case, another defendant who had not yet been served with the summons, named Emanuel, said he would have to pay a sovereign to the person from whom he had borrowed it, and begged witness to give it back. He agreed to do so. conditionally on ddendant. re- turning to Ammanford. Instead, how- ever, they went for a rabbiting, and returned home by the () p.m. train. They had also with them a black greyhound. Defendants were fined 10s. and 10s. 6d. advocate's fee each, and ordered to pay the costs of thp witnesses. Mr. T. C. Hurley, Llandilo, was for the prosecu- tion.

RENT QUERY. A rent query for the Loader to; answer in its columns wns received to- day. It is from An Old Header," of the Hnfod, to whom we reply:— "Your rent as present should lie 7s. 41d. per week. The increase you speak about. made in 1915, is so small that wo think the trouble you would be put to to re- covor it would hardly be repaid in the amount you would get refunded. So it would he better to let the matter diop.

SENT TO A HOME. I Anne May Coates (19) and Hizabeth Davies (20), of a certain class, were char ged at Swansea on Monday with wander- ing on QUIIlY Parade and behaving in a riotous manner on May 24th. There vrare four previous convicrtions against each defendant. An officer of the Salvation Army ap- plied that the girls should be sent to the Salvation Army Home for Women in Cardiff where thftV would be properly lookwj after. The Bench agreed to thre, and fidjourn- ed the case for 3 months.

COUNTRY COURTSHIP. I The story of a country courtship was listened to by the Uandilo Bench on Saturday for some hours, when Martha Thomas, Maesypant Farm, Drechfa, for whom Mr. T. C. Hurley appeared, sum- moned David Daniels, residing with his grandfather at Nantbai Farm, Lluneg- wad, to how cause, etc. Complainant gave birth to a female child on the 5th of February. Defendant and his grandfather were the only occu- pants of the farm besides witness, who entered their service on 14th of Novem- ber, 1917. The grandfather used to at- tend Carmarthen Market on Saturdays. On one occasion defendant was with wit- ness in the barn when the grandfather came on the scene. The latter told the witness that she must leave the place next morning. She accordingly left, and was paid a month's wages in lieu of notice. Defendant denied the paternity, and in tho end the Bench made an order for 7s. Sd. a week.

GROVESEND PEOPLE. I I Ctamour for Retention of I Their Schoolmaster. The Council School children at Groves- end provided a rare treat at the school hall, when they gave a variety entertain- ment. Tho intention to clear the debt on the school piano, but such was the success of the entertainrafent, which had to be repeated on Saturday night, thut the debt was cleared off and there is now a balance of over 910 in hand. The hall was crowded on both occa- sions. This once again shows the mxe.s- sity of having a largo ball in the village. As reported in the Leader" on Satur- day, Mesere. Thomas Williams and Sons have kindly offered the land free. The programme was as follows: Open- ing address by the Nigger, Pegi Ban," Jack and Jill," Little Mothers" (encored)^ Aiie.(-.ioncer, (en- cored), Ladies3 Parliament," The Pedlar (encored), Britannia," finale, Hen Wlad fy Nhadau and" God Save the Kmg." The' Chairman (Mr. Thos. Williams), in moving a i-ote. of thanks to Mr. Thomas, the headmaster, and Miss James, the headmistress, and their staff, said they had been most fortunate in having Mr. Thomas and Miss Jaiues there, but he was sorry to find, in speaking to a Council member the other day, that Mr. Thomas's appointment was only tem- porary, although lie had been at Grovee- ond for two and a half years. It appeared that the Education Committee hal not made any permanent appointment during the war, but with the now scale of pen- sions coming in force it was now intended to make permanent appointments, and it was their d4- to see that Mr. Thomas's services were secured for Grovesend. tLoud applause.) It was very seldom a place or district had an opportunity to express its approved or otherwise before a headmaster was appointed, and he hoped that all the intluence they had would be used to keep Mr. Thomas. He had proved himself capable and energetic, not only in his ordinary duties, but in teaching the children. He was sure that, if a ballot were taken at Grovesend, Mr. Thomas would get every vote. It was the best attended school in the Gowerton group. (Applause.) Mr. John Powell (secretary of the Gors- einon and District Trade and Labour Council), in seconding, said it would be a distinct loss if lie was not appointed as headmaster, seeing he had been eo suc- cessful. He considered it their duty to see that the wishes of the parents and inhabitants at Grovesend were brought to the notice of the Education Committee. Mr. Thomas in responding &aid that had it not been for the splendid co-opera- tion of the parents it would not have been possible to make these entertainments eo successful. The children, dressed for the various parte, and accompanied by their teachers, marched through the village on Saturday, just previous to the entertainment, which was provided over by Mr. John Beynon, M.E., who also referred to Mr. Thomas's excellent worK. Mr. Ben Davies (treasurer), in giving a statement ot accounts, pmid that Grovesend had i l>een more than fortunate in getting Mr. 'rhoma, and it was for them to see that he remained there. Councillor H. Perry strongly supported.

ON MUMBLES PIER. A big crowd of trippers paid a visit to Mumbks over the week end, where, on Saturday, dancing was indulged in on the Pier, and on Sunday the Swansea Tram- ways Band under the baton of Mr. W. Maimone, gave two splendid perfor- mances and delighted the crowd with fine selections from the masters. This band. which has recently been aug- mented by the boys recently returned from the front, is making a name for it- self. and must now be considered one of the best musical combinations in the dis- trict.

DAY OUT IN A CAR. The vieit of three youths, Fred Evans, George and Chas. Mitchell, from Llanrlilo to Llandovery lAst Sunday, led to their appearance in the Llandilo Police Court on Saturday. A police officer said they viiere (iriint: and usiny bad language. They said they had been to Llandovery in a motor car, and had taken drink with them. The Bench agreed to act on the sug- gestion of Mr. Williams, solicitor, who had advised defendants to plead guiltv. i and bound them over, with costs, condi- tionally on their ji.hst^nins for 12. rticnths.

Bennett, late of the 9th Royal Welsh Fusiliers, wntmg from 6, Charlcs-strcet, Porth, South Wales, eays: Twelve months ago I wae sent home from France with illness. I suffered such terrible pains all over my body that I thought I should die. Then I saw an advertisement of Baker's Backache Pel- lets and determined to give them a trial. The first box made me a new man. I can honestly say that I am now without pain for the first time since October, 1917. How I euffere-ed no one knows, but thanks to Baker's Pellets I am entirely free from pain and dizziness." Baker's Backache Pellets are a positive cure for Backache, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Scia- tica, Gravel, Dizziness, and all Kidney Troubles.
