01 January 1904,

The Bizkaia miners’ strike ended with the workers’ victory. Miners have been on strike since the end of October with the support of the socialist movement. Your demands: collect your salary weekly and have the right to buy food where you wanted. Until then, the purchases and prices of employers in forced economy were more expensive. Over four months there were major disturbances, particularly in Bilbao, and even the Spanish Government established a war situation.
