Tuesday night attempted to march to

Marching to the light of pit lanterns,

their approach, sent out an escort and
intercepted them at Nantyffyllon, just
outside the town, and ordered them to
dispense
At one time it looked as if trouble
might develop, but the counsel of the
older men prevailed and the men finally
went home quietly.
One of the marching miners said:
I'VE did not intend to do anything dis
orderly at Bridge End, but we should not
have left the work house until we were
fed. Our wives and children can obtain
relief, but we cannot take food from
their mouths, and single men get moth
