I "THE FIELD DAY" AND OTHER THINGS. The constitutionalists made ex- cellent use of the promised Field Day at the Transport Conference, and Mr. Ben Tillett, M.P., got a resolution through that in its conse- quences may profoundly affect the autocracy of the extremists who are longing for an economic smash-up. It is a strange world we are living in when Democracy is deified with a big D, and its implications are utterly ignored. As Mr. Havelock Wilson said, with more directness of language than our readers would allow us to use "What ie the good of talking Democracy when we act. as the damnedest autocrats?" What indeed! The moderate men realised to what turbulent seas and un- chartered wastes of tyranny the policy of a few would take them, and succeeded in carrying a motion by which the execu- tive, when in conference with the Triple Alliance, will be unable to commit the affiliated unions un til they have been balloted. As far as the Transport men are con- cerned, there can be no more We the people of England boasting until the opinion of the people is ascertained. The industrial salvation of the country is only to be obtained by a recognition of the fact that the longer the present uncertainties laet-une,erta,int-ios as to labour de -nands and conditions—the worse will grow our plight. We are in a pretty deep hole already, and only united, common sense action on both sides will save us. A more accommodating spirit is wanted on the side of the employers; a greater appreciation of the signs of the times and what we may call the spirit of the age. The war has left men less pliable. It has set them questioning things, economic dicta previously unchallenged. New doic trines about profits have won tre- mendous headway. The relations between employer and employed are subtly changing. Profound modi- fications are necessary all round and as well set Mrs. Partington to sweep back the ocean as to resist the onflow of these new ideas. Some of them may be foolish and some dangerous, but they have seriously to be reckoned with. And no leis o-r. the part of the men is toleration and a wider understanding re- quired. To find the capitalist hoof ttk every innocent thing-like the wonderful discovery of Mr. T. Jeremiah at Pontardawe that even daylight saving is a capitalist dodg i —is just crass foolishness. They appear to have the capitalist on th-) brain 1" ejaculated Mr. Havelock Wilson- yesterday. It is a jaundiced world these people live in; a world so dominated by the demon of sus- picion that happiness and trust ean never have foothold m it. And whilst the men with capi- talist on the brain" are tirading, see what we are losing! The most important statement we have seen this week, gravely important be. cause of the little word if in it, was made by Mr. Bridgeman in the House of Commons on Thursday night, in answer to a question whether steps would be taken by the Government to facilitate the importation of foreign coal. I hope," he replied, "that it will not be necessary to import foreign coal if an appreciation of the present and probable future position die- closed yesterday results in a deter- mination on the part of the miners to secure an improvement in th, output of coal in this country." But will it? Mr. Vernon Hartshorn this week, dealing with the deadlock thnt must follow if the present reduction of output continues, speaks of its consequences as very serious an.,1 irremediable. Low output and high absenteeism-and the series (,f strikes that have upset the South Wales coalfield—have had conse- quences the effect of which will be seen presently upon our general trade stability. The export of coal, which was 77,000,000 tons in 1913, has now been reduced to 23,000,000. And let us not forgot that the carry ing of the over-seas coal trade bene fits us in return cargoes as well. A shrewd Swansea merchant was told the other day by a great autho- rity upon the American coal trade that the Americans would soon bp in a position to deliver coal on the London market at 35s. a ton. It seems an incredible proposition, but the man who made the assertion is not an empty talker. The Ameri- cans are out for the markets of the world. Whilst we are firht.ing, whilst we are manoeuvring for an indus- trial Armageddon, whilst suspicion of e?h side ? being fanned into flame by the extremists, our means of prosperity are being snatched out of our hands. What a mad world 1 it is! How urgent the need of sweet reasonableness]

TOWN TALK. Britannia may rule the waves, but she did not rule the Oaks. -:0.- And the language she used was dis" gustful said a woman at the Police Court on Friday. 1 -IOC- A visitor to the Mumbles asked a native if the bathing at Langlund was good. Well," was the reply, like most things in this world, it is mixed'" -:0:- Top prices eeem to rule in everything at Pontardulais-food, fuel, light, etc. And even railway travelling is dearer from the Bont," pro rata, than from adjacent stations. -4 0: Aberayron (Cardiganshire) Guardians have just received the resignation of their clerk after 35 years* service. The clerk stated that his father and himself had been in the continuous service of the Board for 82 years. -:0:- Will Thornek evidently believes Tom Mann's intentions are good. He (Mann) is roasting us in his own way," he said at the Swansea Conference, and I am not sure whether he would not carve ns up if he had a chance.' o; The miners are outside the scope of the coal rationing order, but owing to the decreased output of coal it is antici- pated that consideration will have to be given to the practicability of introducing rationing in their oase. -:0:- The suggestion that whole timers 00 employed by the District Council at Pon- tardulais and at Gorseinon is one worthy of consideration by that body. There is perennial grumbling and fault-finding with the contract work. During the holidays we anall, of course, see hundreds of grown-ups enjoying the roundabouts in Victoria Park quite as much as the youngsters. But they won't admit it. We are only going on to amuse the children, you know." What a fine excuse. In how many Swansea ohurches will From Greenland's icy mountain*" be sung to-morrow? It will be a hundred years ago next Sunday that ilebero well known hymn was first sung, at Wrexham ilarish Church, the author being on a visit to the Principality. -:0:- A tip to housewives: When you take down the curtains in the front rooms of your house, have another pair ready to put up at once. A Swansea woman who left the parlour windows bare for a few hours on wash-day this week, spent most of the time assuring callers that it w as'-not moving day. — JO:— Mr. Havelock Wilson, M.P., notwith- standing his hard hitting, is one of the most popular delegates at labour confer- ences. He does not mince matters, but says what he has to say in the most lucid and unmistakable language, and it is be- cause of his outspokeness he is wnch a prime favourite. -:Ot- Ex-Aid. Rees Harries, J.P., The Bol- goad, Pontardulais, who has been co- opted on the Gowerton Group of Schools managers, has spent a whole lifetime iu the catise of education. RAo, i* now over 80 years of age, but still keen and active. No recognition of efficient service was erer better earned. --a 01- A certain ftwansea man has recently cultivated a beard, and is very proud of it. A friend who met him one day this week remarked upon his altered appearance. You mean my allot- ment," replied the other, pointing to his beard; "isn't it growing well?" Yes," was the answer, but I'll bet there hasn't been any water on that allotment." -:0- It is an anxious time keeping a dog these days. In tho west end of the town last night a terrier, unmuzzled, slipped out of the house, and was enjoying his freedom when his master appeared and gave chase. He whistled, entreated, and threatened, but all to no purpose. The dog was not going to surrender his liberty so easily. And now the owner is expect- ing a summons. Aid. John Powlesland, who had the carrying out of the reception arrange- ments in connectiorr tith the Transport Conference at Swansea this week, ac- complished his task in a highly credit- able manner. Indeed, all the CI tranfl- port part of the proceedingø-Imoo as providing for the entertainment of the visitors—was generally voted a com- plete success. There is now every prospect of a glori- ous Whitsuntide, of which advantage will, all usual, be taken to the fullest. Swan- sea and Mumbles will as in former years, be crowded with festive visitors from the Rhondda and the contiguous valleys. It is worth coming a long way on a bright Bank Holiday to witness the sight on the Mumbles traing and the mass of humanity that gambol on the Swansea Sands. Through the action of the Board of Education last summer, in asking the local authorities to arrange for the sys- tematic collection of blackberries by the children, the jam supplies of the country were materially added to. Some particu- lars of the success achieved are in the annual report. Gloucestershire takes premier places with 313 tons of black- berries, pioked through the efforts of the public elementary soliool*. The public hoardings in Swansea aro becoming more and more like they were before the Government put the ban on large posters. Some of the big firms have new and striking advertlsementp. but others appear to be working 011 their pre-war stock of posters. One of the latter, recently put up, is still ad- vertising certain goods at the price they were in the good old days, while the actual cost is at least twice as much. -0:- Tho Oaks/' which was run at Epsom yesterday, gets its name from a roadside alehouse, which General Burgoyne trans- formed into a country residence, and eold for a hunting-box to the 12th Earl of Derby, who founded the Derby. The ear- greatly improved the place, and gave the name to the race for fUlies he established in 1779, At "The Oaks" was held the famous fete in celebration of the earl's second marriage, which suggested to General Burgoyne the subject for his play, The Maid of the Oaks." -:0:- Thursday's sitting of the Transport Workers' Federation had plenty of banter in it, generally at the expense of Mr. Havelock Wilson, who admitted a Scottish lack of humour, hut often got his own back." Mr. Wilson could not see Mr. Wignall's point that there was any differ- enc between men loving their masters and vice versa, and the advocacy of the ? brf)thorhwd. May not masters pray H he queried. Yes," Mr. Ben THIc?t in- terjeded, but generaly with a 'o in the word!
