A Quiet Day at Denaby

Yesterday the local agitators had arranged for another demonstration of the strikers, at a time which would have caused the procession to have again practically come into collision with a number of men working at the Denaby Main Colliery on their return home to Mexborough. Happily, in one sense, the weather put a stop to the proceedings, and consequently the workers were enabled to go to their dwellings in quietude, without a repetition of the hostile vocal demonstration of the women and strikers.

The strikers are rapidly losing sympathy, not only of the general public, but in some branches of their own fellow-workers. The publication of the correspondence between the Colliery Company and Mr. Ben Pickard, M.P., has not tended to increase the support which has been meted out to the strikers, the prevailing impression being that they would be acting only in a sensible way were they to accept the terms again thrown out by the company.
