Slide Title: Production & Plunder - Inequality in the South Wales Coal Industry This slide, from a lecture given by the South Wales Miners Federation, highlights the stark disparity between the royalties earned from the use of coal on the luxury steamer, the Lusitania, and the wages of the miners who extracted it from the earth. The figures listed below illustrate the extent of this inequality. During the voyage of the Lusitania from Cardiff to New York in 1907, the ship consumed approximately 6,000 tons of coal. At the prevailing market price, the coal used by the Lusitania generated a royalty of £12,000 for the landlords of the collieries. Meanwhile, the average miner in the South Wales coalfield earned a meager salary of £0.48 per day, translating to an annual wage of £165.20. This figure pales in comparison to the £12,000 royalty earned from the coal used by the Lusitania on a single voyage. The South Wales Miners Federation, led by leaders such as David Jones, campaigned tirelessly against the exploitative practices of the coal industry's landlords. This slide was likely used to galvanize support for the campaign by illustrating the vast chasm between the profits reaped by the wealthy and the meager wages earned by the working miners. The Production & Plunder campaign was a political response to the class divide in the industrial heartland of South Wales. The miners sought fair wages and better working conditions, and this slide served as a powerful tool in their quest for social justice. The figures listed on this slide continue to serve as a reminder of the historical struggle for workers' rights and the ongoing fight against inequality in the coal industry and beyond.
