EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the determination and resilience of coal miners during the National Coal Strike of 1912, which lasted from February to early April of that year. The miners, represented by the Miners' Federation of Great Britain, had united in their demand for a minimum wage, aiming to secure a fair living standard for themselves and their families. The table in the background of the image provides a stark contrast to the miners' demands, illustrating the significant wage disparity between different categories of workers in the coal industry during 1910. The wages listed are for boys, youths, men, and women, with men earning the highest daily wages, ranging from 5 shillings and 6 pence to 7 shillings and 6 pence. Women and youths, on the other hand, were paid significantly less, with women earning as little as 2 shillings and 6 pence per day and youths earning between 3 shillings and 6 pence and 4 shillings and 6 pence. Boys, the youngest workers, were paid even less, with some earning only 2 shillings per week. The miners' demands for a minimum wage were a response to these unequal wages and the harsh working conditions they faced in the coal industry. The strike, which was the first nationwide industrial action in British history, brought the country to a standstill, with coal supplies running low and factories and power stations struggling to operate. The strike eventually succeeded in securing a minimum wage for miners, marking a significant victory for the labor movement in Britain.
