ARMED, DISCIPLINED WORKERS TO FIGHT NAZIS

"GIVE US ARMS." CRY MINERS OF BRITAIN

THE miners of the country want to be armed. This demand was made during a discussion at the Mineworkers' Federation, conference on a resolution from South Wales.

The resolution, which was adopted unanimously, urged the provision of air raid shelters for the mining communities, and called upon the miners to support the A.R.P. and L.D.V.
