I t may now be taken for granted that i f the t ra ins are runn ing , there w i l l be many people coming to Ba rna rd Castle for the weok-end and on W h i t - M o n d a y . T h e wheelmen always wanted to come and M r Richard Watson, J.P., the Cha i rman of the Urban Counci l , who went to Newcastle for the express purpose on Monday n ight , was able to confirm the assurance (if t ha t confirmation were needed) t h a t the t o w n w o u l d welcome the i r incursion.

* * * Ment ion of the Bowes Museum and the
recollection of the annual meet ing of the Barna rd Castle B o w l i n g Club last week reminds one of the nearness of the opening of the bowl ing green i n the Park. M r F . C. Dalgarno, the Park Superintendent, informs me tha t the green is a l l bu t ready for use. I t is rea l ly remarkable how sensitive a wel l -kept bowl ing green is to the vagaries of the weather. A day's w a r m sunshine has a wonderful effect on i t . M r Dalgarno is wa tch ing the surface every day to catch tha t superlative condi t ion wh ich w i l l jus t i fy the opening of the green to the bowlers w i t h o u t the r isk of hav iug to close it again th rough the discovery tha t it has been opened too soon. So let the sun shine, say a l l bowlers.
I t was hoped tha t the green wou ld bo ready for use to -morrow, bu t M r Dalgarno sent w o r d yesterday t h a t the opening has been deferred to W h i t - M o n d a y .

t h a t those who are depending on trade for the i r sustenance w i l l bo able to make a speedy recovery f rom the upset t ha t those eventful days occasioned even i n Teesdale, far removed though i t was from the indus t r ia l centres i n w h i c h the effect of the i n t e r rup t ion was and is most keenly fel t . I t was not pleasant to realise the nearness of the col l ie ry villages w h i c h had only a few days earlier been urged by a Member of Par l iament to do shameful things i f the occasion arose for doing them, and to hear t ha t the advice of tha t Member was being put in to practice. However , wiser counsels have prevailed and there is no need to prolong the memory of those very d isquie t ing interludes.
* * * I t was a strange week for the newspapers
few of w h i c h , i f any, appeared i n the i r accustomed format . T o see the great na t iona l dailies, w h i c h as a rule have from sixteen t o t w e n t y pages, - reduced to the dimensions of a four-page issue, was a never-to-be-forgotten experience. T o see how many errors occurred i n tho set t ing of the type was an eye-opener As a mat ter of fact, most of the l i n t s were set by the veriest tyros i n the w o r k of newspaper product ion and afforded some idea to readers of wha t w o u l d happen i f proof-reading was suddenly to cease and the typo was used exact ly as i t came from the typesetters. T h e youngest apprentice i n the " Teesdale M e r c u r y ' P r in t ing Works would be soverely called to order i f he perpetrated some of the curious divisions of words w h i c h appeared i n some of tho " emergency ed i t ions" du r ing the s t r ike period.
* * * I t was evident, cveu i n those papers w h i c h
did not resort to the process of t u r n i n g a type w r i t t e n page in to a photograph, t h a t much of the typo was set by " typ i s t s , " who do not , as a rule , possess the cunn ing of the compositor However , i n whatever fo rm they appeared, the newspapers were welcome. T h e Press showed tha t i t could not be gagged, bu t how great was the struggle to appear is known only to the producers. E v e n the Teesdale Mercury stated tha t a man had died w i t h o u t recovering consciousness from an accident which occurred three years ago, when i t should have been weeks ! Of course, the St r ike is blamed for tha t A n d even when the dai ly papers d i d appear there was the diff icul ty of t ransport w h i c h prevented most of them from reaching the i r destination u n t i l many hours after the accustomed t ime of del ivery. I n the more secluded parts of Teesdale we have discovered instances i n w h i c h the Teesdale Mercury was the only newspaper the folk saw from one end of the week to the other, and they were taken out by motor car on Tuesday n igh t .

THE " BARNEY " MEET. N O R T H - E A S T E R N C Y C L I S T S C O M I N G
F O R W H I T S U N T I D E . We have great pleasure i n announcing tha t
the Nor th-Eas tern Cyclists w i l l ho ld the i r Whi t sun t ide Meet at Barna rd Castle as usual. T h e decision was unanimously a r r ived at on Monday n igh t , at a special meet ing of the leading cycl is t clubs on the Nor th -Eas t Coast, held at the V ic to r i a and Comet H o t e l , Newcastle, under the presidency of Counci l lor J . Riddle {South Shields). T h e decision was come to in v iew of the improved indus t r i a l outlook.
M r R. Watson, J.P., Cha i rman of the Barnard Castle Urban D i s t r i c t Counci l , gave an interes t ing report of the elaborato arrangements the inhabi tants had made for the recept ion of the wheelmen, and expressed the opinion tha t the fo r thcoming carnival wou ld fu l ly ma in ta in i ts t r ad i t i ona l sport ing and social attractiveness.
To-n igh t the members of the affiliated clubs w i l l ho ld a smoking concert at the headquarters of the Alexandra Club, Heaton Road, Newcastle, when the final arrangements w i l l be made.
There aro signs tha t the number of clubs pa r t i c ipa t ing i n this year's fest ival w i l l be larger than ever. A t least t w o new clubs are t ak ing par t , one being the Asbington Club , w h i c h is coming for tho first t ime , w i t h 125 members, and the other the S m i t h Dock Club f rom South Shields, w h i c h is also m a k i n g i ts debut at Barna rd Castle.
T h e inhabi tants of Barna rd Castle are very cordia l ly asked to ".hang their banners on the outer wal ls " of the i r houses and so give the ou tward and visible sign of welcome to the wheelmen.
I n the general arrangements the Meet w i l l fo l low the lines of former years. There w i l l be a welcome to the wheelmen at the t o w n head, Barnard Castle on Saturday evening, and no doubt the customary exchange of greetings on the a r r i va l of the procession at the Market-place.
There w i l l bo an excursion to Rokoby on Sunday morn ing and the popular compet i t ion in " i m p r o m p t u speaking," and in the evening a v is i t w i l l be paid, as of old, to Ovington, where i t is hoped there w i l l be tho we l l remembered fraternisat ion w i t h the representatives of the Richmond Meet, w h i c h is t a k i u g place according to custom.
We aro asked to announce tha t the customary parade to Barnard Castle Parish Church w i l l take place i n connection w i t h the Cyclists ' Meet on Suuday afternoon, and the same occasion w i l l bo observed as the annual church parade of the Barnard Castlo U r b a n Council , when the members are asked to accompany the Chai rman, M r Richard Watson, J.P. The T o w n Band w i l l lead the procession, w h i c h w i l l be jo ined by the members of the F i r e Brigade, the local police force, aud representatives of other public bodies. The Vicar of Barnard Castle, as chaplain of the Meet, w i l l give a br ief address.
The enter ta inment i n the Inne r Bai ley of the Castle on Monday morn ing w i l l be more than usually interest ing. Clubs w h i c h have entered for t h e ' competi t ions have never relaxed their efforts i n rehearsals and some very effective shows are l i ke ly to be produced.

Fire at Barnard Castle. One of the smartest turn-outs of the Barna rd
Castle F i r e Brigade was witnessed on Sunday afternoon, when the clanging of the fire bel l i n the Market-place announced an outbreak of fire, w h i c h was found to have occurred at " ThB Uplands," the residence of the Rev. J . W. Stephenson, i n Bede-terrace. Less than five minutes elapsed between the receipt of the a la rm and the departure of the brigade for the scene of the fire i n M r Pratt 's motor van, w h i c h dragged the ext inguishing apparatus. I t was found on a r r iva l at " The Uplands " t ha t the roof was on fire, a s p a r k ' f r o m the ch imney hav ing apparent ly caused the wood-work to become igni ted . I n about half-an-hour the fire was pu t out and the house was pronounced to be free f rom danger. One end of the gable was damaged, but happ i ly tho in ter ior of the house was not affected.
THE END OF THE STRIKE. T E E S D A L E ' S E X P E R I E N C E .
I t was w i t h the greatest satisfaction tha t Barna rd Castle learnt th rough the med ium of the " Teesdale Mercu ry " on Wednesday of the ca l l ing off of the General S t r ike aud of the oppor tun i ty thus afforded for the ca lm consideration of ways and means for the resumption of indus t ry so rude ly in te r rup ted eight days earlier. T h e news was k n o w n i n Baruard Castle as soon as anywhere—as soon, in fact, as the announcer of the B r i t i s h Broadcasting Company i u London had spoken the welcome message—and i n less than a minu te the news was placarded on the window of the " Teesdale Mercury " Offices, where i t was eagerly read by the hundreds of people i n t o w n for the market . La t e r came the his tor ic speech of the Premier, M r B a l d w i n , announcing the vis i t to h i m of the T . U . C . officials w i t h the i r decision to cal l off the s t r ike . Teesdale breathed again.
The general resumption of i ndus t ry w h i c h was expected to fol low the ca l l ing off of the general s t r ike was slower of real isat ion than some people ant ic ipated. There was a h i t c h somewhere i n the negotiations w i t h the ra i l way men of the Dar l ing ton d i s t r i c t , w h i c h includes Barna rd Castle, and as a result as late as Saturday, only the emergency t r a i n service inaugurated du r ing the week w i t h the help of volunteers, was available on the local branch lines. There was a decision on Saturday to re tu rn to work , bu t Monday and yesterday saw only a skeleton r a i lway service i n operation. I t is feared tha t as a result of the upheaval iu indus t ry a long t ime must elapse ere complete smoothness of w o r k i n g re turns . One can only hope tha t now the air has been cleared of doubts and some understanding has been ar r ived at between employees and employers in other trades, i t w i l l not be long before the men engaged i n the coal m i n i n g indus t ry w i l l be at work again
L O C A L T R A I N S E R V I C E . There is now a l i m i t e d t r a i n service between
Barna rd Castle and Dar l ing ton , Bishop Auckland , K i r k b y Stephen aud Middle ton- in-Teesdale. The first t r a in f rom Dar l ing ton arrives at Barnard Castle at 9-15 a.m.
Tra ins leave Barnard Castlo as under : — For Dar l ing ton at 11-15 a.m., 2-50, 5 p . m . For K i r k b y Stephen at 9-18 a.m., 3-5 p . m . For Middletou-iu-Teesdale at 7-41 and 11-55

A t Gateshead on Thursday , W i l l L a w t h e r (37), South View, High t ie ld , a county council lor , ex-Par l iamentary Labour candidate for South Shields, aud described as prospective Labour candidate for the Barua rd Castle Div is ion , was fined J£50 under tho Emergeucy Act for in ter fer ing w i t h food d i s t r ibu t ion at Chopwel l . H e n r y Bo l ton (52), Chopwel l , Cha i rman of Blaydon D i s t r i c t Council , was s imi la r ly fined £ 5 0 . Fa i l i ng to pay the i r fines they were sent to prison for t w o mouths .

Evidence showed tha t tho men stopped a police escort and refused to let the food wagon pass unless a pe rmi t f rom the local Council of Act ion was shown. The police declined, and warned the men about the i r conduct. L a w t h e r denied t h a t he was a Communist , and tha t the people of Chopwel l were terr i f ied out of the i r wi ts by mob law. There was a demonstrat ion outside the court . The police charged the crowd, aud t w o men were arrested.
" F O R K I N G A N D C O U N T R Y . " By permission of tho E d i t o r of the " D a i l y
M a i l " we are enabled to p r i n t the leading art icle w h i c h led to the stoppage of the issue of t ha t journa l on Monday, May 3rd, i t haviug been suppressed by the action of certain trades unionists on the previous (Sunday) n ight . I t is as follows :—
The miner- , after weeks of negotiat ion, have declined the proposals made to them, aud the coal mines of B r i t a i n are idle .
The Council of the Trades Union Congress, w h i c h represents a l l the other t rade unions, has determined to support the miners by going to the extreme of order ing a general s t r ike.
T h i s de terminat ion alters the whole posit ion. The coal indus t ry , w h i c h migh t have been reorganised w i t h good w i l l on both sides, seeing tha t somo " g i v e aud t a k e " is p l a iu ly needed to restore i t to prosperi ty, has now become the subject of a great pol i t ica l struggle w h i c h the nat ion has no choice but to face w i t h the utmost coolness and the utmost firmness.
We do not wish to say a n y t h i n g ha rd about the miners themselves. As to the i r leaders, a l l we need say at th i s moment is t ha t some of t h e m are (and have openly declared themselves) under the influence of people who mean no good to th i s count ry .
A general s t r ike is not an indus t r ia l dispute. I t is a revolut ionary movement intended to inf l ic t suffering upon the great mass of innocent persons i n the c o m m u n i t y and thereby to pu t forcible constraint upon the Government.
I t is a movement w h i c h can only succeed by destroying the Government and subver t ing the r igh ts aud l ibert ies of the people. T h i s being the case i t cannot be tolerated by any civi l ised Government , and i t must be dealt w i t h by every resource at the disposal of the communi ty .
A state of emergency and national danger has been proclaimed to resist the at tack.
We cal l upon a l l law-abiding men and women to hold themselves at the service of K i n g and count ry .
