The Denaby Unemployed

After being idle 50 weeks, the Denaby and Cadeby miners who have not resumed work are beginning to feel the pinch in no unmistakable manner.

The number on the books at the present time is 479, the majority of whom are men with families dependent upon them.

Although the number diminishes week by week very slowly, it is very evident that the bulk of the unemployed will have to look elsewhere for work, and the sooner this is done the better it will be for all concerned.

The two lads, named Keet, who were imprisoned for assaulting two workmen at Denaby Main, were re-instated by the company but have since received their notices.

Several men have left the town for Wombwell, where much unrest prevails owing to a dispute.

Seeing that there is no chance of work at Denaby for the officials, several have found work outside.

As stated last week, Mr. Hirst, the late checkweighman at Cadeby, has been found a similar post at the Dearne Valley Colliery, near Darfield.

It is stated that situations are being obtained for Messrs. Croft and Nolan in West Yorkshire.

The wheels at Denaby and Cadeby collieries now give a merrier turn than ever before, and everything all round has a normal aspect.

Very important alterations have been made at both collieries, and a formidable slack of coal may be seen at Cadeby, with the market in mind.

The control of the company has come well to hand; the collieries are quickly becoming busy and Cadeby and Denaby are now nearly all occupied, and the evidences of the recent struggles are fast disappearing.
