WHAT MINERS EARN.
WHAT MINERS EARN. To tho Editor, Sir,—Having rel the stories recently circulated of the R-800 a.nd £1,000 a year coalminers of Ebbw Vale, and having re- gard to the fa-ct that the- stories have created a new class of "would-be miners," it li" occurred to me that a little advice hi required by these said "would-be miners'' before they consummate their ambitions. According to A. L. Dickinson, financial adviser to the Coal Controller, the average #*r; "lvingi per quarter per miner for the 'nl,rter ending September, 1918, was while the overage profit per quarter per shareholder in the mines was £ 197 15s. The precariousnosp of the miner's life may be judged from official reports, which show the average death rate in mines and <fuarrie« annually to be nearly 2,000, and the number of injured nearly 200,000. It is wlso a well known fact amongst miners that in several colliery districts wsges are kept a-t a mere subsistence level, life en- il angered, and increased production re- t-arded by the use of obsolete machinery. If you are given the choice of two j-obf. one an "office job" at JE4 a week, the oth-er a miner's job at 1311 a week, t3.1,e my advice and make a. bee-line for the "office job."—Tours, etc., John Edwarr.;s.

(general secretary of the I South Wales Miners' Federation* "RACING" TRAMS. I The aholition of what is known as the racing" of trams was asked for by the workmen, but not conceded by the owners, as it wa.s a point raising a ques- tion of the interpretation of the Minos Regulation Act. It was understood that the miners would confer with the Home Office on the matter. The payment for 11 days' holidays in the year was also discussed and rejected. Gellieeidrym dispute was referred to the Coal Controller. Christmas holidays were fixed for December 25th, 2Gth, and 27th. I

Marlan, K.C.. who is I vt^ known in the Swansea and district ch-cuit:.s one of the most?nl!? ahd ?wpu?r barristers on th9 South Wale I circuit, had an extraordinary experience I at East Ham yesterday. He was conducting an enquiry at the I instance of the Ministry of Pensions intc alleged irregular payments bv • the East Ham War Pensions Committee. The sum involved is stated to be 4100,000. ROWDY MEETINQ. I There were complaints about the in- siiffieient icconiitiofli Lion. and the meet- ing was very rowdy, and Major Evans, from the Ministry, of Pensions, was fre- quently interrupted, especially when he declared that the Ministry desired to see that every disabled man got the fullest possible amount. (Shouts of -No," and Bunkum.") There never was a Minis- try so sympathetic- ns the Ministry of Pensions. (Uproar for five minutes, dur- ing which Mnior Evans made unsuccess- ful attempt- to speak). APPEAL FOR FAIR PLAY. I "lUJct having wen restored by an ap- I peal for fair play, Major Evans con- tinued: "The local committee passed cer tain minutes which flagrantly broke the regulations. One minute read, Any ir- regular or reguhr sums passed during the last month and not yet paid should after confirmation to-night be paid forth- with.* (Prolonged applause. Cries of That's the stuff to give 'eJn "—"Sit down, Major,"—"We're not on parade row,"—" Let's have our rights,"—" Put a sock in it.") A similar reception was given to the reading by the Major of another minute by the local committee: "All the fore- going grants and awards shall be paid forthwith regardless of whether they are within the regulations." DEPUTATION TO MINISTRY. I After formal evidence had been giver the inquiry was adjourned till Wednes- day week. Councillor All wright, vice- chairman of the local committee, asked what was to be d-one for the men and their dependents in the meantime. The committee were in the position of hav- ing the brokers in the house, and the Ministry officials were turning down applicants by the score. It was decided to send a. deputation to the Ministry of Pensions to-day, and an ex-soldier's sug- gestion that the men should demonstrate outside the House of Commons was also adopted with enthusiasm.

" ASTOUNDED." ! a!
ASTOUNDED." a Ex-Service Men's Feder- ation Indignant. Competition of Labour Association. The announcement that the Swan-seu Labour Association lias decided to form an ex-Service men's branch lias been re- J ceived with surprise and indignation by the officials of the local branch of the National Federation of Discharged and Demobilised Sailors and Soldiers. The argument the Labour Association are said to advance in favour of their decision is that hitherto the ex-Service man has not been able to redress his grievances, aud if backed by the Labour Association he would be mere successful. WILL STICK TO FEDERATION. Seen by a Leader" representative, Mr. W. F. Francis, the secretary of the Federation, said a special meeting of his branch had been called for December 8th to discuss the whole matter. In the meantime," he said, I am absolutely confident that the men are going to stick to the Federation, for it has done so much for them. and more especially during the last twelve months. Since January 1st of this year we have had 3,386 new mem- bers, and in that period I have inter- viewed 5,800 men whose eases were taken up, and whose grievances were redressed. I am really astounded at this new move- ment, for since our formation, and more particularly during this year, we have worked in co-operation with the Trades Vn ion s. As a matter of fact, Trades Unions have sent on men to us, and have, so far as I know, always refered to our work in eulogistic terms. I can say this, without hesitation, that the work we have accomplished in Swansea has not been equalled in any other part of the country. I will say also that the Trades Unionists in our Federation will not brook inter- ference from outside political arganisa- tions.
SOLDIERS' STALLS.I
SOLDIERS' STALLS. Swansea Secretary's Chal- I lenge to Critics. Regarding the paragraph in a contem-I, -rap, l i in a contern- porary rec&ntly concernin the manage- ment of soldiers' open-air markets at I Bristol, Mr. W. F. Francis, secretary of the N.F.D. and D. S. and S., at Swansea. interviewed by a "TJeader" representa- I tivc on Tuesday, said that the soldiers' II cpen-air markets at. Swansea were carried out in a business-like manner. He then explained the system of ac- countancy, and ad M that a list of prices, etc., is issued to every stall-holder, who. after the day's sale, has to produce ap m<mies, etc., and unsold stock is placed t" hi? or her credit. If a staU-h?dF?.?-as deficient in stock, etc., he or she ? >uld have to make up the den?iency. Each amount is placed before the Open-Air Markets Committee. A weekly statement I is reported to the secretary. Any person who wishes to inspect oil- j accounts." added Mr. Francis, may do so by giving me notice." j
II TEACHERS' PAY. I
I I TEACHERS' PAY. I New Swansea Scale to be I Drafted. At a oiling of Swansea Education Starling Committee on Monday, Alderman Dd. Matthews, M.P., presiding, there, were important developments in the matter of teachers' salaries. The Director of fflucation (Mr. T. J. Bees) submitted a comparative statement showing the salaries paid to head certifi- cated and uncertificated teachers through- out Wales. This showed that Swansea, which once led the way in the matter of teachers' salaries, is now at least an aver- age of £50 per annum lower than Aber- dare. Ahertillery, Barrv, Merthvr Tvdv<]. Neath. Newport, Pontypridd, 'Rhorukla. Mountain Ash and Glamorgan County for vertificated teachers The position is aD- 1 proximately the same in regard to head- masters. Carmarthenshire, Pembroke- shire and Radnorshire were lower ihan Swansea under these heads. Of the uncertificated teachers, the re- turn showed that they are as well paid in Swansea as anywhere, and very much better than in most places. The applica- tion for new scales made some time since by the Swansea teachers would give a maximum £ 100 higher than that prevail- ing anywhere in Wales. The general feeling of the committee was that Swansea teachers should be paid at least as well as those in other parts of the country, and the Director was in- structed to ascertain the possible cost of new scales for certificated teachers, com- mencing -,vitli CISO for men and rising tc £:;O, with C170 for women, rising to f280 Roughly. Mr. Rees estimated this would cosf of which £ 21.000 would come in Government grants. The Borough Treasurer pointed out that whatever grant was ujad" to the teachers in the present half-year, three-fifths would come back from the Government in the next fir.anoial year. Suggestions in regard to the salaries of uncprfificated teachers were deferred to a I meeting on Monday next.
THE LLANELLY ELECTION.!
THE LLANELLY ELECTION. Addressing a meeting at- Llanelly, Mr. I David William*, the Labour candidate l for the Borough Council bye-election in Ward I., which takes place on Friday. said there was a rumour that the railway- men were endeavouring to delay the pas- sage of coal from oollieries to the worh in the Llanelly district, and that as a re- sult men in the steelworks were compelled to lose two or th ree days a week. He would point ont that whilst the works- were short of coal, all the docks were con ge-sted with coal, and shipments wre heavier than ever, simply beeau«e colliery owners could get more per ton for the coal than if they sold it locally. It was no more trouble for the rail way.men to bring coal to the works than to the docks. Knginemen were working anything up tI IS or 17 hours in bringing traffic to Llan- ellv, including ooal to the Llanelly Steel- works Mr. Harry Bowell (steel smelter), a mem- ber of the Carmarthenshire County Coun- cil. said that the bye-election in his opin- j ion had been fixed for Friday instead of Saturday to prevent workers voting, and be advised them not to be gulled.

CHILD THRASHED WITH STRAP. I Father Sent to Prison. At Swansea on Tiiesd&v. Jiinie-, Byrne, spclterman, Sac-street, Morriston, iva, charged with ill-treating his child, Mary Agnes, assaulting her in a manner likely to unnecessary suffering or injury to health on November 10th, and other dates. Mr. David Clarke prosecuted for the N.S.I'.C.C. Mr. C;;nwav Lewis for de- fendant, admitted the offence. Mr. Clark said that he could not can the child, and he could not call the mother. Inspector Jones went to the house and saw the child. Examining her lie, found li> bruises on her body, fallle of them serious. These bruises had been in- flicted by defendant with a body strap which he wore. I WOULD NOT GET UP IN TIME. I The Inspector saw defendant, ana tola i him what he had seen. Defendant re- plied: Yes, I did beat her with this 6thlp, she won't get up early to go to school. I have paid one summons for non-attendance already. She stays up late at night with her mother, and then can't get up in the morning. I have a right to chastise her, being her father." Later on defendant came to the Inspector and said he was very OOITY ho had as- ?aidted the little girl, and hoped the In- spector would not summons him. It wouldn't happen again, and he was willing to pay expenses of the Inspector and the doctor. A neighbour took the I child in and applied liniment and oint- ment to the bruises. Mr. Clark concluded by saying that jf I the mother and the child did not elect to I give evidence they could not be com- 1 pelled to do so. I I INSPECTOR'S EVIDENCE. I Inspector Jones said that on November 12 he went to Sac-street, where the child lived with her mother. He examined the I. child's body and found 15 bruises. The Inspector repeated the statement made by defendant. The child, said witness, had on some occasions to sleep in an out-house owing I to her father threatening to kill her. Dr. Charles, Morriston, said he ex-; amined the child on Nov. 12th, and found live cr six- well-marked weals on back and thighs. IN FIT OF TEMPER. For the defence Mr. Lewis admitted that the chastisement had been too severe, and suggested that the whole trouble j arose from a next door neigh bour w ho bod induced the child to be disobedient and stubborn. On that morning the child would not go to school, and in a ill of temper defendant took off his .<ttraf' and beat the child. Mr. Lewis said de- fendant had gone through the South African campaign, and had only recently j he eh demobilised. was a1 Irishman and they all knew li e lri h temper.- ment. lie had }x»en instructed by defen danf, to express deep regret for what hat1 happened, and to say that it would not j happen aei in.

[ CHEAPER COAL.1
[ CHEAPER COAL. I Price Down But Supply Still Limited. I Sir A. Geddes Warnr Householders. I As reported in the Leader" on Mor- day evening, the price of coal for domeK tic purposes is to be reduced by 10s. pe. ton from Monday next. Sir Auckland Geddes was questioned or the subject by Mr. Adamson, and in reph | said that From Monday next the price or domestic and household coal will be re- duced by 10s. per ton. The price of coke is to be reduced pro portionately. j Prices of coastwise bunkers are to lK { reduced to an industrial level. The present; system cf control—" un necessarily hampering nod that more I coal is becoming available "-is to b: ( modifie dto a limitation of the amoun' I to he exported, owners' profits, and H¡ I)ricos of coal supplied for domestic pur- I poses. ■ The Government are exploring the position with regard to foreign bunkere. OUTPUT I MPROVI NC. The President of the Board of Trad' i stated that in recent weeks the output had shown marked improvement. Thi i prices ruling for export coal are unpre- j cedently high, and it is from the expor. and bnnker sources that the profits are i now being made, coal for inland use bein: sold at a figure helow the average cost 0' production. This position he described a. unsatisfactory and dangerous for the coa; industry, and he added that industrial coal, at any rate, must as soon as possible be sold on an economic basis. The Gov- ernment's decision is designed as r. direct aid to the cost of living in these abnormal times," and Sir Auckland an ticipates that, approximately, these re- ductions, with certain other change- contemplated in the near future," wil1 bring the account about square as far as the Exchequer is concerned. HOUSEHOLDERS WARNED. Sir Auckland added:- ) desire to warn householders not to postpone orders for necessary coal thi<i week because of the reduction of price which will become effective next week. If they do and if they expect to get un- limited supplies of coal at the new price they will be disappointed. This change can only be made without confusion if we secure the co-operation of all concerned. The necessary orders to give effect to thi- decision will be issued in the course of next week. Mr. G. Terrell: Will this change In- volve the Exchequer in a financial loss? Sir A. Geddes: No. We estimate that. approximately, these reductions, with certain other changes contemplated in the near future, will bring the account out about square. IItr uu: Doé's the right hon. gentleman recognise the vital necessity of increasing the quantity of export coal from the financial point of view? Sir A. Geddes: Yes, from the financial point of view, but I also realise the neces- iiity of having enough coal in this coun- try. (Cheers). Lieut.-Col. Sir S. Hoare: Is the amount of coal to the consumer to be limited? Sir A. Geddes: I eaid nothing about the amount being free. When we rea(,h the goal of three-onrts of coal control ration- ing will be off. Mr. Seddon Will those who give orders this week participate in the reduction which is to take place next week? Sir A'. Geddes: Not if they get the coal this week. (Laughter). Sir J. Butcher: Will there be a reduc- tion in domestic coke corresponding to the reduction in the price of coal? Sir A. Geddes: Yes. we will work oiit the reduction in respect of coke, etc. MINERS EXPECTED MORE Mr. Vernon Hartshorn, M.P., in an in. terview last night seemed disappointed, and said We expected something better. Our demand has been for a reduc- 1 tion of 6s. a ton on all coal. The Gov ernmenf has taken 10s. a ton off house hold coal, and reduced the price of coast- wise and bunker coal; but before we can say whether these equals our demand we < must know (1) the amount of coal useci for domestic purposes, and its relation to tJw total coal output; (2) quantity of co?'  consumed bv coastwi-.? traffic: Imd ('3i what the pr<?"nt average price realise i for bunke rcoal is. :LD NOT HAVE BEEN PUT ON. "Miners are entitled to ask for a for-. the? increase in wages, seeing that the cost of living has risen over 20 per cent, i since their last award. But they prefer i to get this cost reduced, and to do its not enough to bring down the price of coal. I think that before many weeks have passed it will be shown very plainly j that tho extra 6s. a ton ought never to j have been put on." j
