The Coal Strike: Mr. Lloyd George addressing the miners representatives at Cardiff, 1915
The Coal Strike: Mr. Lloyd George addressing the miners representatives at Cardiff, 1915. On 15 July 1915 about 200, 000 coalminers in south Wales went on strike. They complained about poor wage rates and rejected an agreement that had been arrived at nationally. The strike was a serious event because the war effort depended on coal to fuel the navy and for the production of armaments. The miners were accused of treachery at a time of national crisis. David Lloyd George, 1st Earl Lloyd-George of Dwyfor (1863-1945), British Liberal politician. From The Manchester Guardian History of the War Vol. III - 1915.. [John Heywood Ltd, London, 1915]

The Coal Strike - Mr. Lloyd George addressing the miners representatives at Cardiff, 1915
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this powerful photo print, taken during a critical moment in history, we witness British Liberal politician David Lloyd George addressing a group of miners' representatives amidst the turmoil of the coal strike in 1915. The image captures the tense atmosphere and gravity of the situation as over 200,000 coalminers from south Wales took to striking against poor wage rates. The strike held significant implications for Britain's war effort as coal was essential for fueling both their navy and armament production. Consequently, accusations of treachery were hurled at these brave men who dared to protest during such a crucial time. David Lloyd George himself stands tall and resolute at the head of a table, embodying strength and determination in his role as negotiator between conflicting parties. His portrait reveals a statesman deeply engaged with finding a resolution that would satisfy both sides. This monochrome photograph serves as an invaluable historical document capturing not only an industrial action but also shedding light on broader themes such as politics, employment rights, and social unrest during World War I. It is through images like these that we gain insight into pivotal moments that shaped our past and continue to resonate today.
