HOMERULEFORALL
HOMERULEFORALL DEVOLUTION MOTION GABBIEB IN GGMMONS The adjourned debate on Major F. Wood's resolution in favour of federal devolution was resumed in the House of Commons on Wednesday by Sir D. Maclcan lL.), who said he did not think there was much, doubt that the main xensOn for the remarkable uoncensiis oi agreement in favour of the motion shown in the debate on Tuesday was to be found in the present experience oi every mem- ber of the 1-iCIU6,e. Their work, had been trebled, and members had to meet the demand on their energies by trying to triplicate ti einselves. Lieut. T. A. I/ewis (Co. L., Ponty- pridd) advocated Home Rule for Wales on the ground that the nation had satis- fied all the tests for seh-d»: termination. Mr. J. Hugh Edwards (Co. L., KeaL.) said he and his Welsh colleagues were not all satisfied with the way the motion W36 expressed In the House in its retn. ence to Wales, and their suspicions had been deepened by the mover and se- conder, who were both silent as to their Country. Wales was a greater nation than either Scotland or England, and already the House itau reco<piked the principle of its distinctive treatment with regard to its church and in the realm of education. If they were going to apply the principle of devolution to the con- stituent parts of the United Kingdom cn the basis of nationality, then Wfle& was a6 much entitled to it as iscotlund and Ireland. lie hoped if the motion was carried the committee which would be set up would have some regard for the nationality of I .Wales, which had been too long looked Upon as a Cinderella.

LORD GLANELY.I
LORD GLANELY. I Cardiff Owner of Derby I Winner. Lord Glanelr, the owner of Grand ) Parade, is a Cardiff man noted for his Biuiiificence and his business deals. Perhaps the best two examples of these are when, as William Tatem, he gave £ 25,WO two rears ago for a laboratory a1 t'he South Wales University College, and when, lat month. as the sole direr-tor of the Tatem Steam Navigation Co, Ltd., he effected one of the largest deals in ship- ping carried through locally. By this, he sold his old vessels and purchased new the value of the transaction being esti- mated at over £ t,Ofw\OOft. He has pur- chased eleven stindard ships at a rest of about S2.DiMt.n-iM). Lord G'anely is 51 years of age. He was made a baronet, in 1916 and a peer last year. Th? latter honour was conferred for continuous and devote- work in plac- tog the universities of Wales on a per- manent and secure foundation, and for generous contributions to the National i Welsh M useum at .Aberystwyth." Curiously enough. Lord Glanely, before the raes, expressed the opinion that hi* i ?h?r horse.

I WHEN ALL WAS DARK. I
I WHEN ALL WAS DARK. I Men and Wcmen With Low Spirits. I Whether we knew it or not, we all suf- fered from anxiety in the dark days of wa.r, and low spirits are still the trouble of both men and women wbo cannot keep quite up to "par." No bodily pain is more pitiable. Everything seems dark find forbidding. Little worries are mag- nified. The nerves are "all on end." We blame ourselves for being gloomy and ill-tempered. This is unfair to ourselves. The trouble is not with the mind, but the blood. It has grown poor and thin, and dth?s not properly feed the nerves and brain. If the blood can be built up, and made rich and red as it should be. instead of being thin and pale, vigour will return, the nerves will be steadied, and will be vrel!. Fortunately, it is quite easy to enrich and feed the blood, for the remedy is at hand in Dr. Wil- liams' pink pills for pale people, which arc sold by every dealer. They are a splendid blood-maker and nerve-tonic. Soon after you begin them your appetite will improve: your spirits will revive, your nerves will become steady, and you will find yourself able to face difficulties without anxiety and sleepless nights. You will find life worthlinng again. Those who are broken in health will find helpful information in a statement made by Miss Mary Dixon, of 9, Mosely- row, Meanwccd-road, Leeds. "It was through working en muni- tions." said Miss Dixon, that my health eompbteiy gave > way. I became such a complete wreck through anaemia that I began to think I should n er be well again. I went into a large Gov- ernment factory, and for a few months all went well. Then I found that in- stead of being fit and ready for work in the morning 1 could scarcely drag my- self to the factory. My- appetite left me entirely, and I could not touch a bite of solid foooi for days together. My back ached dread-, fully, and headaches nearly blinded me every few. dan, I coughed night and day, and was worn away to a. shadow. I had medical fnlvice. and learned that I was suffering from acute anaemia. My nerves were in a t-errible state. a.nd my face and lips were the colour of parchment. After many months of this misery, I read of a case similar to my own having been cured by Dr. Williams' pink pills, and I started a course. In a week or two I developed a keen appetite. Then I steadily lost the list- lessness that had been so very trying. As I continued with Dr. Williams' pink pilk, the backache and headaches quite went a way. Some colour came into my cheeks and I felt hopeful and happy. The cough no longer troubled me, and niv nerves grew steady. I am uever tired of singing the praises of Dr. Williams' pink pills, for my health is now perfect." You can begin to get well now, for Dr. Williams' pink pills are to be ob- tained of most dealers: start to-day, and ask distinctly for Dr. Williams', to ob- tain the genuine.

MINERS AND THE TAXf
MINERS AND THE TAX f South Wales' Objection to I Present Limit, I Mr. CTlia-rles Edwards, giving evidence on Wednesday before the Royal Com- mission on Income Tax, on behalf of the I South Wales miners, dealt mainly with the claim of the miners that the exemp- tion limit for income-tax should b<? raised from S130 to S:2.5i), and based his appeal principally on the increased oosi of living. He agreed, in examination, that. if thf- limit. of exemption were raised to £ 250, and the family allowances were retained, a married man with four chill dren -and an income of f375 would pa\ no income-tax; also that if his proposal were adopted a bachelcr earning £ 250 a year would maike no contribution at all. Mr*. Hubback, on behalf of the National Union of Societies for Equal Citm-ufhip, urged that the income of a husband and the income of a wife should, for income-tax purposes, be treated as two entirely separate income-?.

IDEARER GOAl.
DEARER GOAl. PROBABLE INCREASE OF 4/6 PER TON Coal will be dearer this coming winter, and the oonsumer will either have to pay ts. 6d. a ton more or the increased cost will have to bo borne by the nation as a whole. The Coal Controller hopes to exempt frem the rationing scheme, which is to be continued until July 1, 1820, people who consume under five ton!- of coal, 50,000 c.f. of gas, and 1,600 B.Th. units of electricity a year. This announcement was—as briefly re- ported in last night's Leader "—mode by Sir Auckland- Geddes, President of the Board of Trade, in the Hou'e of COlll- mons yesterday, who declared that the ooal situation is .serious. He added:—As far as it is possible to judge, the esti- ilia-too output for the year from July, 1S19. after the reduced hours came into force, is between 214 and 217 million tons a year, compared with 257 million tons in 1913. FALL IN CONSUMPTION. I The consumption of coal for inland pur- poses and bunkers, which wa* 210 million tons in 1915, fell to 196 miilion tons in 1918. The exports in 1913 were 77 million tons, and in 1918 they were 34 million tons. In order to preserve approximately the same quantity for in-land consumption and bunkers for July, 1919, all the pre- sent restrictions. on consumption niiist be I. fully maintained, and in addition exports must be fully maintained, and in addi- tion exports must be reduced from the I rate of 34 million tens to the rate, of 23 million tons. After providing for the guaranteed I profit to the owners at the rate of 4s. 3d. a ton. the estimated deficiency on work- ing will 00 about £ 46.000,000, equal to ic. ?d. per ton of output. Consumers will be allowed between I July and September 30 to stock up to their present assessment, so far as the coal may be available. Thi-s means either an increase of price to the consumer of aho-ut 4s. 6d. per ton —to provide a small margin—or the de., ficiency will fall on the taxpayer.

A public meeting to further consider a war memorial for Treboeth was held at the Public Hall, on Wednesday, when Mr. John Evans, Glanffrwd, presided. I The Rev.

IMMPORI MEN.
IMMPORI MEN. SWANSEA CONFERENCE OPENS PRESIDENT ON ARMY CIRCULAR I The ninth annual gejioral. council meet- ing of the National Transport Workers' Federation—a body .representing, well over 300,090 members, comprising 36 trade' :mions-w8s opened at the Hotel Cameron, Swansea, on Thursday morning. Mr, Harry Gosling presided, and among those present- were Mr. Ben Tiliett, M.P., Mr. W. Thome, M.P., Mr. J. Haveloek. Wil- son, M.P., Mr. Jamcjv Sexton, M.P. (vice- president.), and Mr. Robert Williams (sec- retary). MAYOR'S WELCOME. I At the outet. th-a Mayor of Swansea, (Councillor Miles) gave the delegates a cordial welcome ou behalf of the Corpora- tion and town. The workers were coming into, their own very rapidly in these days, and there wa& no relson to be afraid cf them, for they were out riot only for jus- tice to themselves, but justice all round. Mr. Geo. Col will, on behalf of the Swan- sea Labour Association, expressed welcome and appreciation of the immense value of the work done by the Federation. He hoped to see the day when there would be not oniy a Triple Alliance, but when all the trade unions in the country would join together, and then Labour would not be far frcm coming into its own. (Ap- plause.) Mr. Smith, National Amalgamated Union of Labour, seconded, and it was carried with acclamation. The President (Mr. Harry Gosling), in opening the meeting, welcomed the repre- sentatives of the unions which had joined the ranks during the year. Their acces- sion rendered the organisation of the Fedaration as complete almost as it could possibly be., and they now covered prac- tically the whole of the port.s in Great Britain. The membr" of the Federation could look back upon the period of v-ar with a flense of having dorse their duty to the fullest, not oniv to their own class, but to the caupe of lioorty and progress to which many of them. alas! had given their lives and others euffmyt loss of health, ,,r limb. A NATIONAL POLICY, I The Federation was growing steadi'iv in power, in numbers, and in influence, and the past year's work had exceeded'that'of any previous year. They had employed their efforts and energies in shaping and directing grent, far-reaching and beneficial movements on behalf of practically all oocti.om of the Federation. In the old days, when th°y were content with mak- ing local nnd ejectional application?, the lack of organisation and the consequent low standard of wages in one port was us-ocl against other ports. They were therefore compelled to unite applications upon a national and that has been df?np with conspicuous success. Marked assistance 'bad 'h?n rc?c?iTpd. fF<)m n??-?'a- Hon with the mine and runway workers ? the Trip? Ind?stria.? AU ianr?. Ex. perience had convinced the most doubt- ful that there existed in the Triple Alliance more possibilities |han ever 0 x- kted in any organisation in the Labour movement. I A MALICIOUS FALSEHOOD. I With the miners and railwsyiuen they had succeeded in rt-JAieing the working week to a number of hours varying from 44 to 43, and in many instances had in- creased the pay at the same time. The greater portion of the Prees, many of the more unscrupulous politicians, aud public men. who were more concerned with main- taining their property and privileges than advancing the interests of the working class, were never tired of telling thesm that their industrial organisations assumed the s hape of a trial of strength, rot between themselves and the employ, ing el;'i. but between themselves and the community. This wa«> a malicious false- hood Striking sectionally, they were taken in detail by the employers, and frequently the result was not to their advantage. When, however, they brought within its scope a. million and a half members of the ftlt powerful organisations in the coun- try, and choose to demand not merely wage increases—which were more often than not cancelled by incrain the cot of It-ring—but radical improvements in work- ing conditions and. a definite change in status, thpy were told that the power of their organisation and the character of its demands were such as to bring about the collapse of society. But they would proceed on the Foiiii-i lines advised by the Prime Minister, and be as audacious f$ th.a, circumstances warranted, and a-Fi the desire of the workers for an increasing share of the wealth their labour produced should determine. They were anxious to. make the country fit for heroes; it would be a country only fit, for cowards if they were to be thwarted in efforts to- wards social advancement by constant suggestions that they were acting, or-bad acted, contrary to fh? natfon'? rca! in- a.ot--J, cr?iitrrm, to th,?? r e l in INTERNATIONAL FRIENDSHIP. I As to our international relations, now that the Germans had rid1 themselves of the Hi ndenburgs, Ludendorffs, the Hohen- zolleras, and the others- more responsible for the war than the German people, we as a nation with sportsmanlike traditions and sportsmanlike character should shake hands with, oldtime- opponents and pro- ceed to reconstitute the International Transport Workers' Federation. Exper- ience taught that capitalist. would take advantage of national and racial enmities to cubjeot those workers to greater indignities, and at the same time increase their own profits. No organi- sation. stood in greater need of internatio- nal co-operation. The International njust he re-formed on a foundation that could withstand all future tests, the headquar- ters removed from Berlin, and the organ- isation re-established on unassailable basis. They fortnd the German delegates anxious to co-operate even to admitting most of what had been said of their con- duct before and during the war. He thought they were all prepared to let by- gones be bygones, and to think only of the possibilities of greater co-operation of the nations. ARMY CIRCULAR AND GENERAL I STRIKE. Trade unionists of all shades and Qer- ticrus of thought were alarmed at and opposed to the spirit of the. secret cir- ciiiar issued by the War Office at a. time when the Triple Alliance were conduct- ing their national movements. Military conscription was always a potential weapon for indu?ftrial coercion and wage- slavery. The entire movement, was offer- ing increasing opposition to this infamous document. All the c-oiisequences of a general strike wotild be. preferable to allowing the Government to use troops as f: t r ike-bre ake rg, to destroy the moral power which had grown through collec- tive bargaining in the moYement. yhe Government itself has set its face against unofficial action of the rank and file of the movement, but during the recent movement, officially considered and pro- perly endorsed by the responsible execu- tives, and carried forward stage by stage by every means that the constitution re- quired. the Government sought to destroy their official movement. He wanted the conference to warn the Secretary for War and the Cabinet that the patience of the f organised workers might be tested to the breaking point, and that if and when the workers had to deal with theb-e sinister movements to thwart their progress, no Government, however powerful, could wifchstaoid the disciplined efforts which Labour would be compelled to make to protect its own bitterly contested and hard-won freedom. EXECUTIVE'S REPORT. _I The annual report of the L.L. for 1131S was a lengthy printed document dealing with work done m various districts in I connection with all the bodies forming the federation. The South Wales report, (from Ald. Towleslaud, Swansea) stated I that- work was still proceeding satisfac- torily, it being fully realised that joint I actions brûughtbetter results than the old system of local sectional action. There I was an opinion existing that the basis of representation should be broadened, so as to bring in more ox the rank and file of the organisations, and thereby educate a greater number of the workers as tci the real aims and functions of the Federa- tion. The, general secretaty (R. Wil- !iams) and E.C. member B'a.. E. Bevin assisted on most occasions in negotiations, and to their untiring efforts the many satisfactory "results could 'be attributed. The old difficulty of the tippers had beftn bridged,, and good results might be anti- cipated. This has been their most siic- ceseful year. The Federation E.C. were to be congratulated on the success of their various movements, and the results,should stimulate them to continue nhtil all workers were placed well on the strfet-y side of the -poverty line.
