A Power House Worker Captured by Pickets, photo

Worlds Graphic Press Ltd.

Welsh Coal Strike - A Power House Worker Captured by Pickets. Yesterday while one of the workers who are keeping the pumps going at the Glamorgan Colliery was leaving work, he was captured by the pickets. Fortunately assistance arrived or a serious assault would have followed. Our picture was taken at the time the Pickets were surrounding him.
