...Morning fog slithered through the cobbled streets when the first of the 200,000 men, women & children funneled into the old cathedral town of Durham. In a noisy, hilarious parade, they cascaded through the streets to the old abandoned race course, where every year the coal miners of Durham County quaff free beer and quiver at oratory at their annual Miners' Gala (pronounced gayler...

As if summoned by the echoes, 178 sallow-faced workmen, each carrying a brown paper parcel or a battered cardboard suitcase, trudged along the quay of Dover Marine Station and straggled up the gangplank of a trim Belgian steamer, the S.S. Koenig Albert. The men were Italian miners, recruited to dig coal in fuel-hungry Britain; they were being sent away because British miners refused to work with foreigners (TIME, May 26). Most will find jobs in Belgian pits...
