500 Strike after death fall
A one-day strike was staged yesterday by 500 construction workers at Avonmouth, Bristol, because they allege they were not told of the death of a steel erector last Friday, 10 days after he had fallen from a ladder.
One of the men said they were upset because their union representatives were told that the man, Mr Donald Skuse, of Thornbury, Gloucestershire, was recovering. Then they heard he had died.
The men, who are working on an Imperial Smelting Corporation sitre, are mostly employed by the main contractors, Spencer (Melksham), Ltd., who said last night they knew nothing of an earlier report from the site that there was a dispute over safety conditions.

A Serious Charge.—At the office of the magistrates for the Western Divison of the county of Somerset, on Saturday (before Mr Lean, Colonel Jones, Captain Edgell, and Messrs. Foxcroft and Bythesea), two young men, named Henry Skuse and George Wicks, were charged with stealing slates.—Mr Wibley, builder, of Bath, was the prosecutor, and he deposed that he was engaged in building several cottages at Tiverton. The prisoners and a man named Clark were in his employ, and engaged at the cottages, where there was a large number of slates. Later a great number had been missed, and on Friday, as he was going in the direction of cottages, he met the man Clark carrying a number of slates on his shoulder, which he said he was going to take to Mr Bul's. Prosecutor asked him where he got them form, and Clark replied that Wicks and Skuse gave them to him to take to Mr Bull's cottage, where the prisoners were employed; and he stated that they were taken from the heap at prosecutor's cottages, both prisoners sorting them out. The slates were 23 in number, and wroth 7s. Prosecutor then had Clark and the prisoners arrested, but Clark was released and admitted as a witness. The prisoners (who said they intended to pay for the slates) were committed for trial at the sessions, but bail was taken.

Buried in Sand and Stones
Accident on the Road Near Caerphilly
A young married man named Skuse, residing at Coedybran-road, Llanbradach, met with a erious mishap on Tuesday afternoon whilst excavating on some waste ground on the Nantgarw-road, Caerphilly. Without any warning about four tons of loose sand and stone gave way and completely buried him.
Two little girls named Morgan and Berry, who were the only witnesses of the accident, gave the alarm to some miners who resided near, and Messrs. Brookes, Dudfield, and Breeze, assisted by other willing hands soon put to work and effected a rescue. In the meantime medical aid was sent for, and that Skuse had sustained fractures of the right arm, leg and thigh, also a broken rib. He was removed to the Cardiff Infirmary with all haste. Skuse is a native of Bristol, has a wife and one child, and has only been in the district three weeks.

Shipping Catastrophe in the Grecian Archipelago
By a letter dated from Athens, July 8, ih would appear that travelling in Greek waters is scarcely safer than travelling in Greece by land. On Monday the 3rd July, the Greek Company's steamer the Eouomia left the Piræus to make the tour of the Peloponnesus, having on board about 130 passengers, among whom were a newly-married couple bound for the Island of Spezzia. It was resolved at breakfast to fire, on reaching that island, a salute in their honor; and for the purpose of getting powder, a man descended with a lighted candle into the magazine underneath the sallon, leaving the trap-door open. A little girl, the daughter of Colonel Skuse, Commandant of the Piræus, coming into the saloon, stumbled over the trap-door, and the candle was upset, a horrible explosion being the result. The child and her father were two of upwards of forty victims whose charred remains were recovered from the sea. The unhappy bridegroom rushing into a cabin from amid the smoke of which he carried off what he believed was his bride, and plunged with her into the water. On being picked up by a boat, however, he found that he had rescued from death a young lady of Athens, and he returned to the steamer to find his wife burned to death. The scene of this terrible catastrophe was near the town of Spezzia, the inhabitants of which place crowded in the boats to the rescue of the surviving passengers. The greatest indignation was expressed towards the Eouomias, who did not think proper to run the risk of landing at Spezzia, but conducted his disabled vessel to Sura. — Pall Mall Gazette.

Owing to the absence of Miss Heavy, her evidence was not obtainable.

A meeting of the creditors in the bankrupt estate of Thomas Arthur Skuse, accountant, Pirongia, was called by the offical assignee at Hamilton, but at the time appointed only the bankrupt and one creditor were present, and the meeting lapsed. In his statement the bankrupt stated that he attributed his failure primarily to a premature attempt to start as an accountaint in Auckland with insufficient capital; and, secondarily, to an indulgence in a hobby for prize dogs. Although successful to some extent as a bredder, the fancy was altogether too expensive, and brought him in touch with a society accustomed to lavish expenditure, which led him into a style of living beyond his means.

Brothers Inured
The "Three Musketeers"
Parted fro First Time
(Special.—By Air Mail.)
London, December 6
In Lynton Road, Hornsey, N., the brothers George, Cyril and Peter Skuce are known as the "Three Musketeers." Neighbours recently were saying that their devotion to each other had nearly cost them their lives.
They were always out together, and one night this week, when they were walking arm-in-arm in Park Road, Hornsey, on their way home, a car skidded and struck them.
Later, in hospital—only 200 yards further along Park Road form where a 10ft hole gaped in the roadside hoarding—George, aged 21, lay with a borken leg and collarbone, and Cyril, aged 18, lay unconscious.
Peter aged 16 after having his injured knees dressed by his mother, hobbled p[ast the hole in the hoarding to visit his brothers. An hour later hge said: "Cyril is still unconscious, George is in pain, but he can talk. He knows what has happened to Cyril, but he can't remember the accident.
"We always go about together like that. We generally go to the pictures twice a week, play clock golf and walk together—just walk and talk. We don't want girl friends: they're more trouble than they're worth.
"All I remember was a screeching of breakes, then I heard George calling otu for Cyril asking if he was hurt. I gave George a cigareet while we waited for an ambulance.
Mrs Skuce said "My boys have never quarrelled since they were babies. No ones ever seen brother hang together like they do.
"When they told me last night , there's three brothers been hit by a car. I knew before they could tell me the names that it was out boys"

The Rev. T. Skuse, who has just completed a successful five-year term of ministry in Dunedin, arrived in Wellington yesterday morning to take up his new post as minister of the Brooklyn Methodist Church. Mr. Skuse is a Welshman by birth, and in early life he worked as a coal miner in Wales. Twenty-six years ago he and his wife came to New Zealand, and shortly after his arrival here Mr. Skuse decided to enter the Church. His virile personality and sportsmanship have endeared him to the members of his various parishes. He has also been a chaplain to the Military Forces. At the outset of the present war he immediately offered his services as a chaplain to the miliary authorities, but as he was over age the offer was rejected.
A heritage of his native land is his deeply-rooted love of singing. Mr Skuse says that the wonderful singing during a great Welsh revival had a very powerful influence on his later life, and this is reflected in his ministry of the present day, as his services are noted for their accent on the choral part.
Mr. Skuse formerly played cricket, football, and tennis, but with advancing years he has found it necessary to confine his sporting activities to bowls, of which he is a a keen exponent.
A welcome to Mr. Skuse and his wife will be extended by the members of his parish next Tuesday, when an induction service will be held in the church at 7.30p.m. There will also be an informal welcome social in the schoolroom at the conclusion of the service.

One Farthing Damages.
A curious action for libel was brought on Dec. 11 by Mrs Edith Eveline King, Cedars Rd., Cricklewood, against Mr. William Skuse, brother of Mr. Joseph Skuse, with whom plaintiff has been living for some years as a housekeeper.
Persistent persecution since 1900 was alleged, and the following letter, written by defendant to his brother, was the libel complained of:
"I heard this week from Mrs. Roy that Mrs. E. King made the remark that she intended to have her two brothers to supper at your house while you are at the theater, and on your way home they would waylay and do you up. Then the blame would be put on Bill Skuse. So I consulted Sup. Robinson.
He told me to take my information to Scotland-yard, which I did this week, to protect myself.
If you are not on your guard that paramour of yours will get into serious trouble... I wonder she never knew enough to keep her name out of Scotland-yard."
Mr Joseph Skuse, in evidence for plaintiff, admitted having been divorced on the ground of misconduct with plaintiff, and paying £50 damages and all expenses to her husband.
Mr Justice Darling said if defendant thought his brother in danger, it was his duty to warn him, and the jury, having found plaintiff, assessed damage at one farthing.
