The Denaby Unemployed.

Distress Still Prevalent.

The situation of the Denaby unemployed has undergone no material change during the past week.

There are still about 800 men out of work, and as the Denaby and Cadeby collieries are now very nearly full up, it is obvious that practically all the unemployed will have to seek work elsewhere.

Unfortunately, they seem to experience great difficulty in securing fresh jobs, and it is evident that many will be out of work for some time yet.

The “nipsy” money distributed last weekend only amounted to 4s. per head, and that despite a special appeal to the Derbyshire miners for financial assistance.

The outlook for to-day is not particularly bright, and the present distress and poverty existing looks like increasing rather than diminishing, unless the men can secure the work that is so urgently needed.

Last Saturday Mr. J. W. Hattersley, representing the Mexboro’ Urban District Council, secured an order from the Doncaster magistrates giving the tent dwellers at Sparrow Barracks notice to remove within 14 days, an order that was needed as much for the unfortunate people under canvas as for the public at large.

The last of the famous intimidation cases was heard at Leeds Assizes on Wednesday, when Tom Round and Luke Cooper, who played a conspicuous part during the strike, were bound over in £25 to keep the peace.
