TitleNewspaper cuttings detailing the continuing strike and the Penrhyn Relief Fund
DescriptionOne envelope containing 42 newspaper cuttings and one letter, which discuss what people plan to do with strikers and their families, mainly discussing the Penrhyn Relief Fund. Cuttings show how people are suffering due to the Penrhyn strikes, (for example how families are unable to pay for proper food) and include letters of appreciation from people in North Wales who have benefited from the Penrhyn Relief Fund. Cuttings also cover the fines for late arrival to the quarry as well as the ‘suspension’ system implemented, and the amount of quarrymen disputing this. Some cuttings suggest people believe the strike will be over soon as some quarrymen are already returning to work.
