• Facts about the Coal Dispute
  The pamphlet consists of a discussion on the role of wages and the price of coal in relation to the events of the 1921 lock-out. The narrative describes in detail how the Government and Coal Owners’ plan would impact different coal producing areas and individual collieries. An emphasis is placed upon the question of why these two organisations were so adverse to treating the coal industry as a single homogenous unit.
