These figures came to light through the prospectus for next week's sale of nearly £10 million worth of shares in the family-owned concern to outside investors.

Because of trust holdings it is difficult to know just how other family many members also have million- aire status.

21 (Black Friday), the • The average wage per less than half what it ff than they had been before the There was unemployment and there was victimization.

Then in April, 1923, the coal- owners told the miners that the only way to obtain a better wage was to work a longer day. • In January 1924, the first Labour government took office —under Ramsay MacDonald. But this government con- tinued the attack on the working class Ior example, J. R. Campbell, editor of 'Workers' Weekly, was arrested). Labour lost the election in the same year, largely as a result of the Zinoviev Letter forgery. About this time there was a short-lived boom in coal exports, due to the occupation of the Ruhr by French forces and the cessation of production there. In these circumstances, the miners voted to 'end the : 1921 wages agreement. After a long drawn-out series of negotia- tions the coal-owners conceded wages agreement in a new May, 1924, which gave sub- stantial increases to the miners.

It was also about this time that A. J. Cook became Secretary of the Miners' Federation. A member of the Communist Party for a short time, Cook had. been one of the group in the Rhondda Valley respon- sible for the bitter Cambrian Combine strike. He had been imprisoned in 1918 for his strike activities and again in 1921 for his part during the lock-out. Reparations Conditions were • soon to turn against the' miners. The of Versailles, Treaty at the War, 'had end of the World imposed reparation's on Ger- the rate of £150 many at million a year. Coal reparations were also due to France, Belgium and Italy every year for ten years.

This destroyed Britain's coal export trade. Things were made worse in 1925 when Churchill restored wagor the gold standard. The stan- dard of living of all workers was forced down. In June 1925 the coal the Miners' gave owners Federation of Great Britain notice of their intention to terminate the wages agreement of the previous year. They demanded an immed- iate cut in miners' wages and an end to the guarantee of a minimum wage. This meant that there would be no end to the extent to which miners' wages could be reduced. The government nominated the First Lord of the Admiralty (W. C. Bridgeman) to act as mediator between the owners and the miners, and set up a court of inquiry. The Miners' Federation re- fused to co-operate with this committee, since its aim was and increase to cut wages TUC General hours. The Council declared its support for the miners and movements went ahead to create an Alliance of heavy Industrial industry and transport unions, act jointly which would defend the hours and wages of their members. The newly-formed Trans- General Workers' port and Union voted to strike if neces- sary in support of the miners, and ASLEF also voted full support. But already leadership was being placed in the hands of the top bureaucracy. Discus- sions took place between the Miners' executive and a special committee of the TUC, the miners' leaders declaring that they 'placed their case un- reservedly in the hands of the General Council of the TUC as the supreme Trade Union Committee' A special TUC conference then agreed to put an embargo on all movements of coal in the event of a miners' lock- out. On July 30, 1925, the Prime

Minister, Stanley Baldwin, uttered his famous statement to the miners: 'All workers in this country have got to take reductions in wages to help put industry on its feet.' The same evening instruc- issued tions were the embargo on coal movements to be put into force. These instructions were as follows: Stanley Baldwin Railways: 1. Wagons containing coal must not be attached to any train after midnight on Friday, July 31, and after this time of coal must not be wagons supplied to any industrial or commercial or be concern, put on the tip roads at docks for the coaling of ships.

2. All coal en route at midnight on Friday to be worked forward to the next siding suitable for storing it.

Any coal, either in 3. at a depot, wagons or stock may be utilized at that depot the purpose of coaling for engines for passenger goods trains, but must not be moved to another depot. Docks, Wharfs etc: Coal Exports: All tippers and trimmers will cease work at the end of the second shift on July 31. Coal Imports: On no account may imported coal be handled from July 30. General: A general stoppage of men handling coal on other classes of tonnage on Friday midnight. Waterways and Locks: All men on canals, water- ways etc. engaged in carrying coal will cease Friday mid- night, with the exception of who have coal en route, men who will be allowed to take it to destination and tie up.

Safety men for pumping etc.

will be permitted to work for safety purposes only. Road Transport: All men engaged in deliver- ing coal to commercial and industrial concerns will cease Friday night, July 31. Men delivering for domestic pur- poses will cease at 12 noon, Saturday, August 1.

ordinate policy in giving effect to same. This was signed by the leaders of ASLEF, NUR, Rail- way Clerks Association, T&GWU and the TUC Special Sub-Committee. The effect was immediate.

An emergency Cabinet meeting was called. The government offered a nine months' subsidy in return for which the coal- owners would be willing to withdraw their notices. A full inquiry was to be held, but there was no doubt the government had that yielded to the embargo threat —this was Red Friday, July 31, 1925. But all the anti-labour forces alarmed and were warned. Not only were the govern- coal-owners ment and the concerned--the Labour leaders were, too. It was Ramsay MacDonald who declared: "The government has simply handed over the appearance, at any rate, of victory to the very forces that sane, well- thoroughly well- considered, examined Socialism feels to be probably its greatest enemy' Throughout this period the Communist Party fought amongst miners, particularly in the Miners' Reform Move- to become the ment (later Miners' Minority National Movement with its own paper "The Mineworker'). The Miners' Reform Move- ment programme was: one union for all miners (instead of the Federated Districts); affiliation to the Red Inter- national of Labour Unions; no wage cuts; and a six-hour day.

Reactions The inaugural conference of the National Minority Move- ment itself (in August 1924) had been attended by 270 delegates, representing 200,000 workers. The forces of reaction were on the move, however, and recognized the danger rep- resented by the small but in- fluential Communist Party.

In October, 1925 - three months after Red Friday-12 leading Communist Party members were arrested and charged with unlawfully con- spiring to utter and publish seditious libels and inciting people to commit breaches of the Incitement to Mutiny Act of 1797. Five Communists - Inkpin, Gallagher, Pollitt, Hannington and Rust-were sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment. The other seven were told that they would be bound over if they undertook to have no- thing more to do with the Communist Party! When this offer was rejected, they were months' sentenced to imprisonment. But the Communist Party was already, becoming tainted with Stalinism and lining up against Trotsky. In the Autumn of 1924 the Executive Committee of the British Communist Party issued Lessons of statement a Trotsky's book 'Lessons Saturday, November 21, 19/4
