I Auckland Geddes'g momentous an- I ;i-- iiiceiueiit in the House of Commons 010 Monday regarding the reduction of t lie price of cual by His. per ton. has '*« a used extraordinary surprise in bwan- 'bL, and effect upon gus, electricity and .ivUiootic coal supplies cannot yet be auyed. It certainly comes as a wel- tu tne consumers, who iiail the reduction as a forerunner ui a enes of reductions m the prices of those comodities to which coal is a ne- cessary adj unct of production. LOCAL COAL DEALERS' VI EWS. iocal coal dealers and merchants, nowcver, view uie announcement with lIlíed fotthuys,*cu» they contend that the immediate enforcement of the reduction must, of a necessity, t'ntail considerable toss on present stocks. The Swansea Fuel Overseer tIr. J. R. .Ileath/, and his deputy tMr. Wooles), are away from Swansea to-day, and eonse- ijueutly no opinion could he expressed as tiiow the reduction would affect the latioumg of supplies.

They declined to ex- press any opinion whatsoever, stating that tiie oc-crtsicn was premature. Conse- quently it is impossible to state whether the gas consumers will ^c&perience any great benefit from the concession to gas com iian ies. THE INCREASE ON ELECTRICITY. I Mr. J. W. 13urr, the borough electrical engineer, stated mat lie thought it pro- bable that the projected increase of elec- tricity to consumer, which was about; to be put info operation, based on the recent; 65. per ton increase of coal, could now be abandoned. Whether or not, within a year or a further reduction would be ioumi possible, lie cuuld not say. The cast ol electricity locally had )Ply been increased 25 per cent, on pre war cost, as against, a substantial percentage in the cost of gas. Moreover, the cost of elec- tricity in other towns had gone up as much as 110 per cent. t- P to now they 3iad been able to avoid a big increase by maintaining an increased output. Coal at present cost tiie department Ifos. lOd. i)cr tor. a»s against 12s. Id. pre-war, so the ad- ditional burden could be well realised. INCREASED COST OF LABOUR. The cost of labour during the prst 12 j months had-jumped up to due to I the introduction ot the L-hour week. These factor,s combined to make another increase in the cott of electricity to the consumer inevitable: but now that there- was a possibility of coai ■being secured at considerably lets per ton. he hoped that it would not IK* necessary to make the in- tricate. A STAGGERER." Mr. J. LI van Row lands,, the sectary of tiie South Wales Coal Merchants' Federa- i -fion. said Hie news of the sudden reduc- I tion had come as a staggerer to him. Hut. of course, tiie newe w9-6- so fresh, that ho could not express au opinion upon it; as yet. Of course, lie said, such a redu dion iiecided upon by the Cabinet would have to be accompanied by some sort of ex- fj pl&mition, which, perhaps, would eluci- ti-ato the proldcJIl ot where the 10s. had Leen going to! A prominent coal merchant in the town also expressed surprise at the news, but was most undecided in his opinion of its consequences. At tuosent. I have no coal at all, except on the railway," he ei id. 1 DIFFICULTY ON RAILWAY. I 'file dithetiltv is to get it along the railwav. If I do not s/et it veiy eoon I shall be faced with a serious loss if the reduction comes into force in the mean- < time." 1 N'earlv all of the merchants approached concurred in their absolute surprise, al- though many felt assured that the re- arrangement or prices consequent upon the great reduction, would lead to con- fusion. OPINIONS AT THE DOCKS. I j The .statement in the House of Com- mons on Monday evening by Sir Auck- land Geddes respecting coastwise bunker coal being reduced to the industrial level, lias Lwti-ii received with mixed feelings at the Swansea Docks, and a spedftl meeting t)t the (.oul exporters' section of the Swan- I sea Chamber of Comeree, at which the president of the Association (Mr. Arthur 1 Andrews) w ill preside," will he held on Wednesday, when the question will be rullv gone into. Asked as to the position of local ex- porters under the new prices. a wall- kftown shipper said:- I TO- GO ON EXPORTS? I The assumption is that it will havp to I go on the export prices, because the monev to balance the cost of production must bo found from come quarter. Coal cannot be sold at a continued loss. Ilow- over in the absence of statistics it is quite 'I impossible to ay., what the present posi- tion of collieries. Another gentleman, who carries on a larire export f ade with France and Italy, observed:—" If the coal industry is to 'j pay its way, ten eh tilings takeu oil in One direction means that many more shillings will have lo be put up in others. i PI IFIHT OF FRANCE AND ITALY. I At it tiale when France and Italy ee- p;><ial!v find it very difficult to restart their i'ndust ries, on account both of the scarcity and of the high figure they have h) pay for whatever cual they get, the prospects of their having to pay still more not very encouraging for them, and ) it is not. after all, in the interests of this country that our Allies should unduly tuffer." THE PRESIDENT OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. Seen bv our representative, Mr. Arthur Andrews! president of the Swansea Cham- ber of Commerce, said:—-Hie announce- ment made by Sir A.

SWANSEA IGNORED. .- -P-
SWANSEA IGNORED. P Commissioner and Milk Conference. At Swansea Food Control ( omniiv'uce j on Monday, Mr. Victor Evans (the Exe- cutive Officer) reported that he nad for- warded the following letter to the Ministry of Food :— A South Wales factory, which sends some thousands of gallons of miJk to this town weekly, is prepared to supply to the retailers who piire ase from ttiem at 3d. per gallon less than the controlled price. It is presumed that the factors concerned are purchasing on these re- duced terms from the fanners who sup- ply them. This offer i ssubjeet to the condition that other retailers in Swan- sea who obtain t-Heir milk from other Hources will seH at the same reduced price. This body of retailers will gladly fall into line if the Food Controller is prepared to revise the producers' prices accordingly for South Wales." After asking to have the question re- opened, he concludes: "The position of the committee is made more CuSieult be- cause many farmers in the South Wales area state openly that the prices paid to them are excessive." I SWANSEA IGNORED. I Following this, said Mr. Evans, lie learnt that a conference was to be held in London of all the divisional food con- trol officers. Five were selected to represent committees in the South Wales area. Following his usual practice," went on Mr .Evans, "the Food Commis- sioner at Cardiff ignored SIA-aiisea in the matter, while an invitation to attend dw conference was sent t-o the confer- ence was sent to the Pontardawe Food Control Committee." Mr. Evans went on to say that on hearing this he telephones totiie Lian- eily Executive Officer, and was told that no invitation had been leceived there either, but that despite that fact a Llanelly representative would attend the conference. In view of this fact Swansea also decided to send a repre- sentative, and Mr. T. J. Richards went to London. Mr. T. J. Richards gave an exhaustive report of the deliberations in London, which decided to appoint a kimall com- mittee to go into the matter of regulat- ing the milk prices, one representative from each area being appointed on ..ie oommittee. STRONG PROTEST. I The Chairman (Mr. David Griffiths) condemned in strong terms the action of the Commissioner at Cardiff in ignoring Swansea in this important matter. Seevral members agreed, and it was unanimously decided to instruct the Executive Officer to forward a strongly worded protest to the Divisional Sommis- sioner on the matter. Following this the resolution of the Laudoro branch of the N.U .R. was read strongly protesting against the proposed increase of milk prices to Is. per quart on December 1st. It was explained that the oommittee had refused to 'confirm the figures put before them. Unfortunately, however, the committee was powerless. MILK FOR MOTHER. I Mr. David James drew attention to the Ministry of Health's pamphlet on milk supplies to mothers and expectant jaotjier.s. He wanted the Press to make public the fact that the Ministry of Health had given power to local autho- rities to supply milk to these mothers at half-price. The Executive Officer said that this was a matter for the Health Committee, and explained that half the loss, it this were done, would fall on the rates and the other half would be borne by the Ministry of Health.

Much curiosity exists on the subject, e?pecialiy in view' of the manner in which the strings are being pulled. The LJan- env committee have now received a com- munication from the Welsh Rugby Union enclosing a letter in which the Union were asked to endeavour to ar- range a match between Llanelly and I Newport on neutral ground, the proceeds I to be devoted to the National Wsr Memorial. It was further suggested that representatives of both clubs should I meet, under the chairmanship of Mr. Horace Lyne (president of the W.F.-U.), to discuss the matter. Presumably a similar message has been forwarded to the Newport Club. I Curiously enough the Welsh Football U-nioii made no comment upon the pro- posal. +110 Llanelly Rugby Club is quite agreeable to meeting the Newport delegates, but no further decision has been arrived at, and there is reason to ¡ believe, however, that the Llanelly com- mittee are not enamoured with the idea of playing a charity match in aid of the Welsh War •Memorial, as Llanelly have a local war memorial scheme hich needs .11 _L_ L aji duo assistance n; can get. The report that the Llanelly Commit- tee have decided to ask for home and home matches this season is incorrect, but in all probability they will try and arrange home and home fixtures for I charity.

Now- can we continue to supply "the goods," I^et's seo the easiest way to I find out is to lay our cards en the table, W e will proceed to do so and commence with the plays that arc paying their first visit to the town, and these are "Oh! •Joy, Daddies," Fncle Sam," The Naughty Wife, A Sinner in Paradis; Nuioe Bonson," His Little Widows," and "Jack o' Jingle," in which those talented West End artistes, Lilian Braithwaite and Milton ftosmer will appear.

I IN SWANSEA GAOL. I BiaengWynfi Colliers Want Bail. At Aberavon OIî Monday, six Blaen- gvrynii colliNs-Frank Morris, Evan Mor- ris, Win. Udv.-ards, Win, Williams, Owen Evans, and Wm. (TuinsteO were brought up .in custody ,on a charge of assaulting P.S. Henry Davies and P.C. Brown. Mr. L. M. Thomas prosecuting, said the facts arose out of an attempt by the1, police to rescue a deserter at an Aber- Blaengwynft hotel on Satu rday week. The soldier had not yet been found, and be.asked for an adjournment. Mr. Dan Perkins defending, commented on the fact that although the assault was alleged to have taken place on Saturday night, the defendants were not arrested until Thursday, and they had been in Swansea Prison since then, dthough. they pleaded not guilty. Five of the men had resided in Blaengwynfi for- over tèars. The prosecution agreed to bail, and the caso was udjourned for a fortnight.

£150 NOT ENOUGH. The Ministry of Health, in pursuance of its policy of getting the Builders' Federation to take a share in the national housing schemes (the proposed 91.50 sub- sidy being, of course, a part of that policy) is arranging tor a conference at Swansea with the local authority and t.he master builders. It was at first hoped that this would be held on Monday; then l the Ministry adjourned it to Thursday, and now the date is unfixed, but will not he this week. Sir William Meager, M.P., h expected to vis-it the town in the matter. In the absence of any data, Swansea builders, to whom we have spoken, hesi- tat.) to express an opinion on the local effect of the proposed subsidy, but regard it hopefully. The forthcoming conference should make the position clear. It is pointed out that many things have to be known before an authoritative pronounce- ment can be nrade as to whether the terms on which the, subsidy will be obtainable are such that the builders will accept them enthusiastically, and so help materi- ally the huge problem with which the nation is faced. The« £ 15(l itself will not taeet the case, one builder said; there must be some guarantee that, having erected the hfruses, the builder must not hove them on his hands, despite the fact that the economic rent of them might be But," lie added, the Ministry are apparently now on the right track. He thought it could do without the builders altogether, but the experience of the last twejvo months has shown that that course is lioDeless." < ii

(Continued Irom Preceding Column.) of nerves as to what is going to happen i next. and which accounts for the want of stability in the trade, and the general tendency of colliery owners not to spend a penny more than is absolutely ess&ntial for development of their mines. The I Government and national cry to-dav is I output and yet more output, and yet every step taken by the Government acts as a deterrent to the enterprise of the owners. This recent decision of Sir Au<?Iand Gcdde- has left the whole coal trade in a state of bewilderment and doubt. It is difficult to appreciate the effect of this announcement on the export trade of the country, and one can only givie a personal opinion. My own idea is that it cannot have a serious effect on exporjt prices owing to the small quantity avail- I able for exuort.
