Published by The Australian Coal and Shale Employees' Federation

This book tells the enthralling story of the struggles that brought the Miners' Federation into being, consolidated it into a strong, united organisation, against the background of the history of the Labor Movement as a whole.

It is an inspiring story of courage, militancy and expanding unity, in the face of often bitter opposition, and white it is not without its examples of mistakes and setbacks, its general picture is that of steady improvement in the conditions of mineworkers and an ever-growing consciousness of the need to achieve the fundamental socialist aims of the Federation.
