Ffeil A1/20. - Dan Thomas, Plymouth Arms Inn, Merthyr Tydfil,

He is writing in connection with the introduction of the Liquor Traffic (Local Control) Bill as it affects many hundreds of D. A. Thomas's constituents. The measure would be unjust to traders like the writer and to thousands of D. A. Thomas's supporters. The bill seeks to close public houses completely - a great blow to the working classes in the constituency. Private drinking would inevitably result from the passage of the measure, and both the trader and investing capitalist would suffer. Discusses the weaknesses in the bill and the conduct of the elections. Believes that the provisions of the 1881 Sunday Closing Act should be re-considered. 'A more odious piece of class legislation, & one more dishonest in its consequences there has never been introduced.' Implores D. A. Thomas to oppose the measure.
