THE MINERS’ FUND

PRINCE OF WALES'S APPEAL RESPONSE FROM ALL CLASSES Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, December 27. (Received December 23, at 10 a.m.) The Prince of Wales’s post bag at York House was one of the biggest on record to-day as the result of the broadcast appeal on behalf of the miners. Letters came from all classes. Many describe how immediately the Prince had spoken the bat was banded round and sums from a modest 10s upwards sent to the Mansion House, where over 1,000 contributions were received by the first post. The Prince spent a good deal ol Christmas Day in composing the appeal, which was only finished just before he went to the microphone. The fund is now about £350,000. apart from the Government’s contributions.—Australian Press Association. ORGANISATIONS BUSY. (British Official Wireless.) Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright, , RUGBY, December 27. (Received December 28, at noon.) Success attended the efforts made in the distressed areas to secure that no family in need should be without reasonable fare on Christmas Day. The organisations that have been for some time engaged in relief work, and now bodies called into existence by the groat wave of public concern, were busily engaged in distributing a vast consignment of food and clothing.
