A poster announcing that no trains would be
running on the Taff Vale Railway on 26 August, and a handwritten
schedule giving details of resumed freight services after the
strike. The union was made to pay the railway company £23,000
in damages for striking. This lack of immunity seriously hampered
the activities of trade unions, until the Trade Disputes Act
of 1906 removed liability for damage by strike action.
