DUMMY TANK.]
DUMMY TANK. ] HEATH EX-SOLDIERS' MARCH Of PROTEST. Discharged sailors and soldiers repr*?- I senting the branches of the Federatioc from Neath, Swansea, Abaravon, aed the Valleys took part on Fridfty eve-ning in a demonstration of protest against the actaon of the eeh Town Council in over- looking claims to a place in the pro- gwunme of N eatMs War Tank cereanotny cm Saturday afternoon. I The demonstration, in which several thousand people took part, wae carried out in a .moest orderly manner, and humour blended with the eerkws. The procession, which was nearly a mile in length, was headed by a brass band and a dummy tank, upon which was chalked German Tank, captured by Cwmavoo V.T.C." It W3¡.<; an ugly looking monster; fully manned-they tugged it along wnth ropes-but quite harmless. BANNERS AND MASQUERADE. I There were many standard bearers, and the messages on the banners were apt attempts at sarcasm. Five per cent. investors march to-morrow; fighters march to-night"; Over the top on the 1st November"; W e did a bit, not made a bit"; We invested lives, not ¡ 4 s. d. We demand rights, not (slightsand eo on. Motor cars and brakes conveying disabled eoidiers -were in the rear, and in the procession Borne had attempted a ttutsquerade. All edong the roUlte the procession inspired cheers and laughters and it will go down in his- tory as om oi the large6t denMmstmteoBe evor seen in the town. The pnoeeecMngs in the Fairfield wa<s r preeaded OVBT by Mr. Sullivan, who de- clared that the public authorities in Neath had ignored the ecldior and the sailor onoe too often, and that 42.monstra- tion would help them to rerneinbea- the proiai^-es they made to Tommy in the c,axly day-6 of the war. BOXING AND DANCING. I Mr. Trick, a discharged eoldwr, moved a resolution, recording the meeting's emphatic protest againert the way in which they had byen consistently ignores' in civic and military functions. Mr. Trick referred to the Town Council's octkm in trying to ban boxing exhibitions at the Gwjn Hall, And wanted to know how the councillors could pretend to be I &0 pious over boxing, amd ait the same time encourage dancing among men and ¡ maidens until four o'clock in the morn- ing. Mr. Bairry seconded, and ewid they had been gulled Jong enough by members of the Town Council, and they were now gaang to apply tht gag I Mr. Percy Doibey secretary of the Aboravon Branoll. a.ddrd the meet- ing; criticised the action of the Neath Board of Guardians over the Margam appointment, and said the Fedepaition was out to break up the duplication of appointments on public bodies.

Degwell Tho-nies, pivai- dent of the Neath Branch, dealt with the origin ot the demonstration, and said it was not until the branch, finding that they had been ignored in the Tank pro- ceedings and had decided to protesi:, that 8.11. official mvir&trlon to tø_ke part in the ceremony was received. The invitation came too late. He noticed eeveral heroes in the procession wearing the Mone Star; they received it through the post" had it bean the O.B.E. or the M.B.E.-som thing for not-,hing-they wonid have gone on a trip to London. (Laughter.) A most fitting and appropriate occasion for pre- senting such decorations as the MOBS Star would be on Saturday, and by an Admiral of the Floot. (Cheers.) Personally, he should lake to see tlio Tank at the bottom of the River Neath, and not (Jill a concrete bed in the Victoria Gardens; because it would ever remind him and others off th--Pr dear ones who died on the battlefield. The resolution was carried wihh on- thusimm.

MOTHER IN THE DOCKj
MOTHER IN THE DOCKj TRAGIC FATE OF BETHNAl GREEN I CHILDRED LONDON, Saturday. A-t Old-street to-day, Harriet Jackson, aged 36. of Hague-street, Bethnal Green, was charged on remand with the wiilul murder of her two children, Lilian, age four and a half, and Maud, aged two and a half, but cut- ting their throats with a carving knife. Accused was crying when she entered the dock. The Director of Public Prosecutions said the woman's husband was now serv- ing at Beyrout, in Syria. The evidence given at the inquest concerning the find- ing of the bodies was repeated, and Mr. A. E. Jackson, accused's brother-in-law, said she had been a good wife and mother. Ho had noticed she had been very worried and depressed over her husband not being demobilised. "Witness cried when relating the story of how the two little girl's bodies were found in the bedroom. 11-1 HAVE DONE THEM IN." I Dr .Hugh Llewellyn Jenkins said the prisoner had been suffering from neuras- henja. On May 31st she walked into his consulting-room and said, I have done them in," meaning her two chil- dren. Detective Inspector Pride said that jit the Police Station prisoner had with her a small parcel in a piece of table- cloth. It contained a War Loan certi- ficate, some dividend warrants, jewel- lory, and other articles, includmg two letters, one of which be from her husband. In a statement the woman said. 1" Vihenever I go out there is always someone following me. I have had enough of it. I want someone to analvBe what is in my children's p,ton?achs as I think the have had something in their food. They were cry- ing for water all last night. I gave them breakfast this morning, then sent the two boys out to get their hair cut, and then I washed the children and my- self. A feeling came over me that I had to do it, as I oould not stand it any longer." Accused was committed for trial.

TINMEN'S CLAIMS 1
TINMEN'S CLAIMS 1 SUB COMMITTEE MEETS AT SWANSEA (By Our Tinplate Correspondent.) I A meeting of the Joint Committee of the Tinplate Industrial Council was held at the Metal Exchange, Swansea, to con- sider matters referred to the committee by the full Board at its joint meeting held on the previous Friday. Mr. F. W. Gibbttts presided (on the owners' side), and Mr. Tom Griffiths, M.P. (on the men's side), occupied the vice-chair. The sitting of the oommittee was a very lengthy one, and there was a thorough threshing out of claims which had been submitted, as put in the points men- tioned in the report of the Industrial Council. ALL ROUND 1t PER CENT. Ultimately, an offer of 10 per cent. all 11 round by the employers—payable to day- wage people as well as piece workers— was arrived at as a definite proposal to. submit to the Council. It was not accepted by the men's side as a settlement, but left to the delegates and representatives on both sides to con- sider and deal with at the Joint Indus- trial Council meeting to be held next Friday. MANY NOTICES TENDERED. I It was incidentally mentioned in the course of the afternoon by one of the employers that many, especially of the young men employed at several tinplate works in the area concerned, had ten- dered notices I-aft Monday to terminate contracts, because they said they could obtain better conditions elsewhere.
NOT IN PROCESSION
NOT IN PROCESSION NEATH TANK STARTS EARLY TO AVOID DELAYS In the early hows of Saturday morn- ing, "Julian II. which may or may not be the christian name of Neath's war tank became animate, started, and crawled from the railway station to its resting place on a raised concrete bed in the Victoria Gardens, to await the for- malities of the opening ceremony which will be performed this afternoon. Vary few people were aetir, and this diversion from the official programme is but carrying out the instructions of the tank officer. It may be here stated that it has nothing to do with last night's de- monstration with the dumjny tank," but e-imply because so many tanks have broken down in different parts of the country, when a great deal of time has been wasted in repair work, that it was thought better to allow the tank to poise upon a concrete bed. J ulian will hardily feel snubbed on being sent out of the civic procession. ■■ -■

I LLANGYFELACH POST.I
LLANGYFELACH POST. I To the Editor. I Sir, la the Press this week great pro- minence 16 gi"e-u tO the question raised by our genial M.P. in the House, re the appointment of assistant overseer for our parish. In the question a name and address is given, which. is uoit or lees mixed up. I maintain that we who are residents in this parish should be more concerned with the facts. At the meeting, when this appointment was made, the regula- tions from the Local Government Act were read. The councillors, by majority, decided to ignore these, and proceed their own way. The voting proceeded, and the applicants were reduced to six. Several attempts were made to further re- duce them to three. This they utterly failed to do, ag several members were continually plumping. After nearly four hours of wrangling,' it was decided that the x names should go to a final vote. This was done, and the present overseer had six votes, the others having seven be- tween them. Thirteen councillors took part in the voting. One councillor, Dan Matthews, rose an objection to the procedure at the outset, and refused to take any part in the vot- ing. lor this he is to b*« highly compli- mented." Several other councillors were thoroughly disgusted with the whole business. The Chairman has agreed to a parish meeting, when 1 trt the whole matter will be put right. The appointed assist- ant overseer is a man of irreproachable character, and has my sympathy. In the future, when he will have a good deal of unpleasant work to fulfil, as all overseers will readily testify, he will appreciate the fact that his position is above reproach. Councillor D. Davies, I ?. i -?.. ""SB t

I TROUBLE D?iNb.I
  I TROUBLE D?iNb. I COLLIERS REFUSE TO PAY I INCOME TAX « The decision of the South Wales miners not to pay income tax until the basis of assessment is raised to JiZoO is al- ready leading to some trouble, It appears that, owing to the arrest cd two Coedely (Tonyrefail) workmen for non-payment of income-tax in respect of the first two quarters of 1918, the work- men of the Coedely and the Tylcha i ach Collieries of the Welsh Navigation Steam Coal Company, Ltd., 900 in number, struck work on Friday morning. An official report given to our local representative states that the two meL were arrested on Thursday night, and when the men were informed of it at the pit top they refused to go down in con- formity with a resolution passed at a mass meeting not to pay the tax, and to cease work immediately any of the men were interfered with by the authorities. A masg meeting of the men was held, and as the result of negotiations between the local lodge officials and the police authorities the men arrested at Tony- refail were released pending a conference between the local lodge and the Miners' Executive. A resolution of protest was passed against the action of the police in arrest- ing the men after midnight. Work was resumed at the pits on Fri- day afternoon. LLANHARAN MEN ARRESTED. I Similar trouble arose through the ar- rest of one of the workmen on a com- mitment at Llanharan for the non-pay- ment of ineome-.tax, the men employed at the Meiros Colliery refused to go to work on Friday morning. Later in the day someone paid the amount due from the man, and he was released about mid-day. The men re- turned to work in the afternoon.

Hoberte. moved that at the oelebmtion cif peaes A250 be "voted to a tea, and m-emento to the mahoca children, the eiged, ana also the famines of men who have faJlen. Letters bad been re«eived from vatiouis Labour Unions protesting any public monies being spent in peaee cele- brations, and Couiwi'ilior« G-efchin, Mcrt. and irnt-dhiiwickn, Labour menibere, spoke asainst the motion.

.COAL PRICES.-!
COAL PRICES. Mr. F. W. Giibertson Against I Nationalisation. Mr. F. W Gilbertsosi, in a -considered view of the situation oreated by the pro- ceedings of tihe Coal Commission, ex- presses the opin^ooi that the price of fuel was the main question for the country and its industries. The Coin'mksion, how- ever, appeared to be devoting itself to the task of inquiring, chiefly, how to BKCtt the wishes and aspirations (if the secrtyon af the community engaged in mining. Dear fuel meant ruin to British in- dustries, owing to the proepect of over- seas competition. The power OIfChe iron, steel, tinpkste, and ga--vancood sheet trades to export any. thing -at all is dependent upon the rela- tive costs off produetimi in this and other manufacturing countries, coupisd with the relaitive freight co?ts. STEEL AND TIN TRADES. I In 1913 we exported about 4,000,ft00 tons of steel, exclusive of maohiur-ry, out of an output of 7,663,876 tons. To-day we have a productive capacity of 12,;MX),0G0 tons, of which at least 7,000,000 tons must be sold abroad if employment to be found for the workmen, officials, and capital engaged in the business. For ordinary lines of heavy steel pro- ducts some -05 a to-n has to be asked in excess of current American prices iif the British works are to be run at a profit. In the ease of tinplates and fleets the difference is less, but in every case the American price, is substantially beiow ours, aaad unless our oosrts can be re- duced the demands ef the world will gradnally be supplied by the United Stat- of America, and oar factories will close dwwn, as they did after the McKin- ley Tariff, or as the old historical iron- worbs in our Welsh hills closed down last century. AMERICAN FREIGHTS. ] His (says Mr. Giibertson) only the tem. porary accident of hiigh freight and lack of toiinagi? froon the American seaboard; that is protecting us now, as America has: added inoe 1914 a productive capacity in steel equal to the whole pre-war output of Germany, and has doubled its tinplate. production, addling capacity equal ta the whole otf. the Weish pre-war output. This tiememdous 06pacity is now in existence, but is not much more than hacf employed to-day, and is waiting to be re-lit w'hen ships* quiokly building, are available to oariy manufactures to our markets and even to Great Britain itself. AGAINST BUREAUCRATIC CONTROL J Upon the question of nationalisation Mr. Giibertson says the bureuucratic con- trol of coal, shipping, and inland trans- port has already produced example thait are really warnings. We have known steel furnaces standing for gas coak in South Wales because Forest of Dean coal was produced in another area, but was used for purposes for which anthracite or steam coal would have suited better. He incidentally mentions a request, for instaawe. thait anthracite duff should be compuL*o<rily tafcn in cenUiin proportions iu markets whewe it could be used trans- lated into an official order that such a percentage should lie included in every shipment to every destination, a decision altogether too fantastic, and only to be expeo-ted in "Alice in Wonderland," or from a bureaucratic control. The public do not seein to realise how far-reaching have already been the effects of the control of our coal mines. The liWifeation OIÎ profits and of prices may quite well have been necessary, but the evil consrsqueaoes will take yeans to 'dv.p.
LANDLORD PAYS THE RATES I
LANDLORD PAYS THE RATES I A landlord who sought to obtain posses- sion of two houses at Greenwich County Court on Friday on the ground that the tenants refused to pay an extra sixpence which he had imposed owing to the in- crease in rates read a passage from the Act which says, Tenants pay all rates."

I NAVAL SCRAP I BRITISH DESTROYERS 111 ACTION I British destroyers on Thursday were present off Cronstadt, when the Finns I shelled the fortress in reply to aggregsion by the Reds on their frontier. The Reds' ships retreated to the Shelter ol the forts on the arrival of our warshics. I I BOLSHEVIK BATTLESHIP HIT. f Helsingfors, Thursday.—Almost simul- taneously with the new actios oetween the Cionafcack lotteries and Fort Ino, a fierce bombard- ment began between the southern forts of Cronstadt and the batteries on the south- ern coast of the Gulf of Finland, Kras- naya Gorka and Ishora, west of Oranien- baum, which up to Wednesday appeared to be fully in possession of the Bolsheviks. On the Bolshevik side the battlesliip Petropaviosk and two light cruisers took part in the action, but they kept themselves prudently to the eastern end oi Cronstadt. The Petropaviovsk, says an observer, was hit several tinum by the Ishora batteries; according to him, one burst near her, enveloping her in smoke. On the approach of several British destroyers the Bolsheviks hastily made off, while the Petropavlovsk sheltered under cover of the Cronstadt batteries. 1

I ARE YOU A MOTHER OF TEN?
ARE YOU A MOTHER OF TEN? Our rea<iers will doubtless have noticed this question. which is asked on every local hoarding by the great popular weekly newspaper, the News of the World. The blue poster has been thought by many to refer to a popular song, but this is not the case. The question Are You a Mother of Ten? bears on a most novel feature, which will be announced in that paper next Sunday,, and all mothers of large families should secure the Newt of the World on Sunday, as they may see something of advantage to themselves.
