Pleading Mother to M.P.s CHILDREN HAVE NEVER HAD AN EGG
Hundreds of women in the Rhondda Valley whose children have never tasted an egg and whose husbands have not done a stroke of work for ten years subscribed pennies to send Mrs. Mary Jones, of Tonypandy, to West- minster to tell Members of Parliament about their plight.
With 20 other representatives of the unemployed | she arrived in London, recently to lobby M.P.s, while a trades union delegation from South Wales put their case before the Minister of Labour (Mr. Ernest Brown) and the Chairman of the Unemployment Assistance Board (Lord Rushcliffe).
Mrs. Jones is 33. She has five children, aged 13, 11, 9, 5 and 13 months. Her young husband worked in the pit at Tonypandy for 17 years. Three years ago there was no more work.
The Unemployment Board gives this family £2 2s. 6d, a week.

The hope that a nettlement of the dispute in Slicar, Jaipur State, nego tiated outside the affected area, would have a calming effect in the city land. 8-11 p.m. on 0.52 m,c's. per aelf, seems unlikely to be realised.
The Rao Fajn of Sikar, whose foi- lowers have revolted against hla feudal overlord, the Raja of Jaipur, has arrived at Ajmere.
Sikar, however, is still in a state practically amounting to slege. The situation in the city is tense, though there has been no further violence. The dispute between Sikar and the Central Government began nine weeks ago, when the Rno Rafa quarrelled with his overlord. After a siege of the city the Rao Rajn wus declared Insane and his powers suspended.
His followers, however, have con- inued to insist that his full nuthority shall be restored. Troops and police were sent from Jaipur at the end of Inst week, and fighting took place.
