In Derbyshire several colliers are doing but little
work, merely from hand to mouth; however an advance of
2s per ton is paid by the public. Things upon the whole

cases the men have renounced all connection with the union ' •
for instance, 60 men heretofore employed at Clay Cross
have left the union and gone to work.
