"text": "There was some sympathy for the miners among the railway workers, members of the ASRS [Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants], but any who advocated sympathetic action in support of the miners were instantly dismissed. The company attempted to bring in blacklegs from outside the area under the auspices of the National Free Labour Association but ASRS members used various means to ‘persuade’ most of them to return whence they came. Very few strikebreakers and blacklegs succeeded in assisting the company and those who did could expect to be roughed up.",
