AN Urgent Appeal is hereby made on behalf of deserving Families, who, through the stoppage of work, are in a great number of cases suffering very severe privations, verging on starvation. The cloud over-hanging the above district is most distressing, with no immediate prospect of relief, except through the benevulence of those who sympathize with deserving workmen and their families, who would almost prefer starvation rather than appeal for charity.
