TitleNewspaper cuttings
DescriptionOne envelope containing 103 newspaper cuttings, most articles focus on the negotiations between Lord Penrhyn, the quarrymen and trade unions. The articles express how important these negotiations are in relation to trade unionism across Britain. Many articles state that Lord Penrhyn presented specific terms to the quarrymen at these negotiations which they rejected. Some articles include letters from the public relating to these negotiations, they do not agree as to whether Penrhyn is in the right or not, some saying that Penrhyn is completely in the wrong in relation to these terms. Others, however, describe Lord Penrhyn as an excellent employer and therefore completely in the right. Some articles also discuss the Bethesda Choir raising awareness across Britain of the quarrymen’s troubles.
