These two documents are an indication of the province- wide repercussions of the Asbestos strike. In the first, everyone is invited to a meeting in Quebec City where Jean Marchand, Gerard Picard and striking miners will be speaking. In the other one (at right), help for the miners is being sought. This advertisement appeared in various newspapers throughout the province. The objective cited was one dollar from every worker in Quebec, or a total of $25,000 in one week.
