Dearne District
Five Day Week – Early Reports

reports of the Dearne District show that underground workers are generally cooperating excellently, Barnburgh, Hickleton and Wath Main report good attendances.

Surface workers, however, like their fellows in the rest of the area, are not satisfied, but a prominent surface worker at Hickleton Main Colliery said on Tuesday that they were remaining at work pending negotiations on the anomalies which of occurred in their working hours.
